Hi all. I'm new to laptop. I'm thinking of buying a laptop for the purpose of tertiary education in a couple of months time and would need recommendations.

Any Brands That I Prefer / Don't Really Like
Since I'm new I don't have particular liking or dislike. Dell looks appealing to me though.

Budget
Around RM2500 to RM3000

Screen Size
15" sounds nice. 14" sounds small but would probably suffice.

Weight
If possible equals to or less than 2.5kg. That'd probably mean 14" screen.

Tasks I'll Be Performing
-I'll be studying Civil Engineering so will probably use application and softwares related to Engineering. Autocad and so on.
-Assignments
-Internet browsing
-Music and Movies
-Photos (e.g. Photoshop)
-Light downloading only
-Most likely no gaming at all. At most is Sims.

Specs
I don't know. What is recommended for my case?
-Is processor speed of 2.0Ghz enough? or higher?
-Is RAM of 2GB enough?
-Hard drive at least 320GB.
-DVD + /-RW Combination Drive

Design (Looks & Stylishness)
Not my main deciding point. Average is enough. But I don't want a brick either.

Other Preferences
-Wireless
-Bluetooth
-Built-in card reader
-Doesn't heat up easily
-Generous amount of USB ports
-Considerably good speakers

Thanks smile.gif

Thanks Astria fro your prompt reply. Asus F6 offers only 13.3" if I am not mistaken.

So i'll look at the other three. Thanks again! smile.gif
