Can anyone recommend a laptop?
Looking for a new laptop... good specs for gaming... not looking for top end graphics, although a decent one will do. Most important - looking for high RAM capacity, good speakers and large HD. Preferably something as light as possible so a screen <15". hopefully something i can get in malaysia or australia, but i am open to all suggestions I am aware of the standard of graphics card I need but I was hoping for some MODEL and brand recommendations which fit my requirements,

Gaming laptops will run you a bit more money so just be aware of that when deciding to game on a laptop. What you are looking for will be a laptop with a dedicated video card that is suitable for gaming. Avoid anything with Intel graphics and look for ATI or NVIDIA gaming quality cards. I'm not as familiar with the newer/mobile ATI but for NVIDIA, look at the 9600M, 9700M, or some of the later GTS 260M, GTS 360M, GTX 260M-280M models would work. Go for about 3-4 GB of RAM (more is generally better) ** Edit ** Here are a few models (from NewEgg and in US prices): ASUS X83VP-A1 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz) 14.1" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220667 ASUS K50 Series K50AB-X2A AMD Turion X2 RM-75(2.20GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 NoteBook http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220636 Gateway P-7908u FX Edition Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz) 17.0" 4GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M NoteBook http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834101203 ASUS G Series G51Vx-X3A Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 320GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M NoteBook http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220639 Personally I like the Asus models and I have the Asus G50Vm-X1. From the Asus site, they include the G50V's in the Malaysia market so finding a retailer shouldn't be an issue. I spent about $1200 USD on the one I purchased a while back and the system is very good for gaming and general usage. The only complaints I have are the amount of crapware that is part of the factory install and the speakers weren't very loud (given I wear a headset if I'm gaming, this isn't much of an issue though)
