for a few hundred pesos more the G450 is a better deal...newer G105M nvidia graphics card with newer VP3 video processor with more video features and better hd-video decoding support.

8200M is shared graphics card plus its like 2years old.
compared to the 2009 G105M which is dedicated graphics card.
250 rapud HDD sa msi diba? 320 sa lenovo.

naa lang bluetooth ang msi mao naka nindot niya but then again thats less than 500pesos value maka buy man ka usb ana. ang graphics di man.

hrmmm... Nice specs! But this is not the G450 that I saw - it had C2D T6400 and Intel GMA 4500M vid, 250G HD. Do you have a link for that?. I would have chosen the above model if I saw one. Pero then again, it's still a 3,500.00 difference than MSI.

i paid 29,200 cash for mine (pag monday lang gyud) so just 700pesos more than the msi...i got some "special" discount of course but i recon you can find something similar close to the price i got it for...in other words, im just sharing what i was able to get so other forumers here planing to buy a new laptop can use this as a guide...though your msi is also a fantastic deal...

anyways even if its 3,500 difference i think its easy to justify still. 70gb more hdd space. yeah you can buy an external usb portable drive but closes capacity to bridge the gap will run you 2,000.
the dedicated graphics card for 1500 is dirt cheap diba.

heres the closest package link i could find for what i got.

btw, even the GMA 4500MHD and the older 4500M still outperform the Nvidia 8200M in benchmark...

though realistically both run very similarly in performance in real world use.

and the best thing about lenovo is that it runs cool...dili gyud siya init...no need for external fans and the likes for those of you who like running their pc's 24-7 like i do...from the MSI ive tried, medyo init bya sila...

btw in my specs sheet i notice it says hdmi port but in my lappy i looked at all sides i dont see it weird...but it doesnt matter so much to me since i dont use it. VGA man ang importante nako para projector. ang acer had a model pud with hdmi murag 27k+ rato siya but wala sila stock when i got the g450.

I just got an MSI CR400X t65+ (Nvidia chipset) for Php28,500. I confirm that it's the best deal for a C2D to date and the graphics is an Nvidia 8200M G - aero glass capable, you can also play COD4.

dude can i ask if your msi has bluetooth builtin?

[markyap]

budget range: 30-35k
looking for a laptop with looks and at par perfomance

EX460x - T65+ is the new one from msi...if december paka buy i suggest you eye out for this one...right now is around 33-34k just under your 35k limit might even go down a little by end of the year.
whats great about this is it has dedicated graphics and 4gb RAM

[loner_boi]

hmm.. lemme take a look. thanks sir mark.

No, it doesn't. I just bought a stub BT dongle for P250 for my mouse.

Oh well, seems there is always something better with a little more bucks. On the bright side, though, I was only eyeing for any Ion-based netbook. Pero wa pa man jud, ug wa na ko ka huwat...hehehe. If any of you are planning to buy one the Lenovo S12 or HP Mini 311 is something to consider basin ig Nov. But the C2D notebooks are nearing the price range of netbooks, also after influential people eg Michael Dell downplayed its low performance and small screens plus news that nvidia is abandoning the chipset business.
