Hi all the sifuu's here. currently planning to buy a lappie and i would like to ask for opinion as i dun wanna ends up with something i dun like but stuck with it. here goes.
1. Brand. - any reputable brands
2. Budget. - rm 2k
3. Specs. - not looking for a monster machine, but just a multi-tasker on work and entertainment. can run photoshop, good video capabilities. internet and movies.
4. Size. - preferably 14"
Note - i like to test softwares and apps but not really into gaming. online easy gaming just for fun. dunno wether intel GPU is sufficient or not.
planning to buy a C2D as it's cheaper but afraid that it cant keep up with time as i plans that this lappie gonna stick with for a while.
or should i opted for i3 or i5? as most that i can see are bove rm2k

not being kedekut but i'm just looking for a good for value but not sacrificing the performance.
sorry if i ask too much or asks wrongly since i'm a noob and there's seems too much models and i'm confused.
All

is greatly appreciated.

Acer 4741G, i3 330M + Nvidia 310M@RM2199
Acer 4740, i5 430M@RM1999
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3 350M + GMA HD Home Basic@RM2099
seriously speaking, rm2k is barely sufficient... since u re working with Photoshop, u'll want to stick with Intel and minimum Core i3 since HTT is gonna be beneficial... u can go by with Intel GMA HD, but to maximise performance, u'll want a laptop with Nvidia GPU to make use of CUDA acceleration...
the above is ranked as the preferred choice...
