i am researching to buy a laptop for my sister use. She will mainly use it for lecturing, doing some light animation works, and some CAD/CAM stuff. Her budget is below RM3,000.
Is the Asus A42 series with i3-370M and Nvidia Geforce 310M good enough? Is the A-Series Asus laptop generally good build quality?
I have a general perception that Asus laptops have good build quality but dun know which series is better than another. Noob in Asus laptop.
Thanks.

Asus A42Jv FTW
A42JV [SRP-RM2, 599] offer: RM2470
I5-450M 2.4GHz, 14”, 2GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, Win 7HP, nVidia GT 335M 1GB GDDR3
Get 2gb ram upgrade as well so would be around rm2.6k...
Best choice u could get for that budget..
Else there is a new Acer 4820TG coming up during mid-end september which has similar specs except the GPU is HD5650 and RRP is rm2699, that one has better battery life...
