facebook game, youtube, pps, watch dvd( i told him can get an external dvd drive ), word/powerpoint processing

For that budget (RM1.8-2k), I think its better to get an AMD E350- powered lappy (many choices at the moment) and put in an SSD instead (as suggested by eugenechiuu)

big storage SSD is kind of pricy

btw budget is 2k - 2.5k

Err..... even a RM1.4k netbook could handle your friend's usage? RM2-2.5k is quite overkill already
THe ThinkPad Edge is still one of the best subnotebooks at this time, but the specs are quite outdated already, perhaps your friend would like to wait for the new SB ULV processors?

how big??160 gb ssd can get rm900 at garage..if u buy amd e350 lappy say,,rm1300,,just rm2.2k..

+1 QFT, the speed gain would be phenomenal

just thinking wanna buy ao522,,adding 4gb ram,,n 80/120gb ssd..
but heard EOL already..so fast..

i see
his laptop was broken down and it's kind of inconvenient for him to do his job
actually i recommended NB550D to him
but he said it's too small

Aspire 4253 is a good buy?

he wants more than 250gb
we will see how's the things go

bro,,buy small ssd than 500gb external myb..

noted
80GB SSD with 1TB+original HDD as external hdd would be nice
if got USB 3.0,
anyway,
he need something which is >10" but < 14"
any model can recommend?

Asus 1215B la of course..but donno bout the avlblty of usb 3.0..
80gb ssd around rm500,,1tb samsung g3 1tb 3.5" rm240,,asus 1215B rm1.3k,,so rm2.1k..ok??

Apart from the AMD powered netbooks, there's really not much >10" <14" laptops with newer technology... Need to wait for more ULV models to come....
Still here are some from Dell:
Vostro 3350, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM2209[2.04kg]
Vostro 3350, i3-2310M + AMD HD6470@RM2376[2.04kg]
Vostro 3350, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM2469[2.04kg]
Vostro 3350, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470@RM2636[2.04kg]

and Acer:
Aspire 3750G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2199

Asus 1215b with E-350 really that powerful? Saw the review on youtube, the processor rating only 3.9 over 5...

Its powerful compared to regular Intel Atoms, and the integrated AMD HD6310 is a huge plus against the Intel GMA 3150

This is for sure。。。

this type of amd is made to fight eith atom..so,,need to compare with atom..

Is the Asus K53SV available in msia yet?



This keyboard on this one looks better than the one on N53SN. The keyboard on the N53SN flexes as well so con +1 for N53SN.

thanks

will try to find more E350 powered netbook/laptop
i think he dont mind of old technology
he's the person who dont really care abt specs
as long as the laptop stable and can be use, all done
thanks for the recommendation

Hmm, have to pay a visit to lowyat tomorrow on 1215B e350

K53Sv = A53Sv
The keyboard feel on the A series isn't very good if you ask me
