1) What is your budget? Max 30k, Lower the better


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
size and weight not an issue. I want to connect it to my 22" Samsung HD monitor and watch HD movies. Very rarely, maybe once a month, I might have to take the laptop to my office


3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: samsung, dell, hp, compaq
b. Dislike:acer, sony
But not really an issue. I am willing to try any brand. Cost and performance of the model are the factors.

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
HD movies, browsing
Rarely gaming (starcraft 2 was the last game i played)


5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
I want it powerful enough to run HD movies in my external 22" monitor. Not very particular about laptop screen resolution or size.


6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
online purchase / ritchie street

Any feedback is appreciated

thanks dashing_sujay for your reply. The laptop you suggested has sold out. I'll look at similar configurations.
