Well, best is you tried the keyboard/touchpad first, since different model has the different feel.
Since in this case, performance is almost similar.

If what you interested in is their small footprint, I would recommend Acer 1410T@RM1499 or Acer 1810TZ@RM1899, they both are 11.6'' and still capable giving around 5 hours battery life with performance better than Intel Atom since they are using Intel Celeron, Single core(1410T) or Intel Pentium Dual-Core(1810TZ) with better Intel GMA 4500M HD... else just pick the one you like since for netbook, pretty much just down to preferences or battery life...

Yup.

Budget?

You mean >RM 2K or <RM2K?
Around RM2.5K fine?
Lenovo G460, i3 350M + Nvidia 310M@RM2399
or Asus A42Jr, i3 350M + ATi HD5470@RM2599

Asus A42Jr, i5 520M + ATi HD5470@RM2999

Vostro 3700 would be better if you want to game since it has much better GPU, Nvidia GT 330M.

If you solely looking for gaming performance, BenQ S42@RM2699 would be better than the Asus A42Jr with its Nvidia 9600M GT while retaining 14'' form factor, but its using Core 2 Duo P8700

Not good for viewing? 17'' certainly will give better viewing but the problem is when travelling with it, its weight 2.9KG alone and with its form factor, it might be troublesome...

Better view as in what you mean? Angle viewing?

Well, the thing is we don't know what will happened after promotion over, worst, the price increase by another RM650, which makes Studio XPS 16 be a wiser choice...

Better call them, might be able to get some discount after with some upgrade
You also can choose colour or 64-bit Windows, just need to inform them...

I can't open the link, its error, where do you see it? Can give screenshot?
Hope you don't mix it up with Dell US

Maybe for the Vostro, since its stated on the website as optional, but after april...

Compaq CQ41-214TX, i5 430M + ATi HD4350@RM2549
though better gaming performance would be Asus A42Jr/A52Jr, i3 350M + ATi HD5470@RM2599...

Not really, but you might have a chance getting free bag or discount if you good in bargain..

Either way is fine...

Perhaps a 5% discount, but most likely with no upgrade, no discount....
but can just try your luck

Its RM4799, if the RM200 rebate still on...

13'': Compaq CQ35-331TX, Core 2 Duo T6600, 2GB, 500GB, Nvidia G105M, Windows 7 HP, 3 years warranty@RM2199
14'': Lenovo G460, Core i3 350M + Nvidia 310M + 2GB + 320GB + freeDOS@RM2399

Performance? netbook has almost the same spec, only different in design or battery life or after sales...
Other than that, then its not under RM1.2k?

11.6''? Acer 1810TZ@RM1899
or if really want 12'', can consider Vostro 1200, 12.1'', Core 2 Duo T5670, 2GB, 160GB, GMA X3100, DVD Combo@RM1.6K, but not really a netbook...
