Hi guys, I need some help...

I've read through a few threads already, but there are just too many models to go through, and I'm already getting a headache x_x. But I've narrowed down requirements to a few things:

Brand: Anything besides Dell and Acer (friend pulled his hair out when I mentioned Acer)
Price: RM3k at max
Graphics Card: GeForce GT 555m (or similarly close, if price kills the dream)

Generally, I need it for its ability to handle 10 layers of Videos in Adobe Premiere, without attempting to commit suicide itself. Gaming is secondary, and I'm not picky about not having maximum graphics output (~~but my older comp can handle Mass Effect 2 on high-end graphics settings, so I'd expect at least that...~~ Just remembered my 'older pc' had a recent upgrade so ignore that >_>).

I was bought, sold, and given away while reading the review on Alienware M14x. But the price instantly gave me a refund. I'd LIKE something that powerful, but the price just won't cut it. So could anyone suggest anything slightly lower that's still within my budget range?

Thanks in advance! ><

Unconfirmed, but Not Terminated?

Hi all

I'm hired under a Charity Organisation, and I started on the 22nd of April 2010.

After 6 months of probation, my probationary period was extended to 22nd December.

It's now the 3rd of January 2011, and I have yet to receive a B&W on confirmation or termination.

My aunt says that it's not easy to NOT confirm an employee, and that according to labour law after the probationary period has expired, if I am still hired under the company and no B&W is given, it means I'm automatically confirmed as a permanent staff.

I've attempted to google Malaysian Labour Law, but I can barely find any useful info, much less the law itself. I found a site that says "only if it's stated in the official letter", but it doesn't quote the labour law exactly, so I'm looking for a more substantiated response. I'm quite anxious to know if I'm here, there, or caught in Inception's "Limbo" because it'll affect the decision I'm making on whether to leave the organisation or not.

Thanks in advance ><

Edit: Problem solved. My CoS states I'll remain a probationer until a letter is given. Having said that though, what DOES the labour law state about unconfirmed staff?
