Hi everyone. I need a a recommendation for a laptop/netbook

1. Preferred Brand - none. Well, maybe lenovo or asus ee series?

2. Budget - less than RM1500

3. Usage - research purpose. Graph plotting, word, presentation slides, net browsing etc. No gaming, so I don't really want a high specced laptop, but just enough to multitask and play flash

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - between 10 and 13

5. Misc - must be light! Less than 1.5kgs. And if possible, the netbook HDD can be changed to SSD (don't mind if I have to do it myself)

Thanks in advance!

Cant  compare like this,the asus 1215b rsp 1299 only,  much more cheaper than dell..

Thank you both for the replies. Just went to lowyat today, and now I have to choose between all of these. Care to share some info about them?

Dell inspiron 13R (Intel i3)- RM1399
Asus ee pc 1215B (AMD E450) - RM1299
HP pavillion DM1-4000AU (AMD E450) - RM1099 (online price)
Lenovo ideapad S205 (AMD E450) - RM1299
Lenovo ideapad S100 (Intel N570) - RM1099
MSI U160DX (Intel N570) - RM999

This would be my first netbook, so I really have no idea about the build quality etc. Dell inspiron is too heavy, plus the battery life isn't that great. For the other netbooks, all have about the same specs, except for the processor (AMD vs Intel) and screen size (11.6" vs 12"). I don't really have a preference, but I want it to be as light a possible, without sacrificing perfomance. So, can anyone advice me which netbook is better?

Btw, is it better to upgrade windows 7 starter? Most netbooks i see only have windows 7 starter.... How much will it be to upgrade? Do i have to buy a new copy/license to install other version of 7??

I already have a dell 15" XPS, so I don't really need a bulky laptop 
Hmm, Dell M102z also looks great. A bit more expensive, but it comes preinstalled with windows 7 home premium 64bit, and 4gb ram. Worth the money I think. Btw, when i say multitask, i meant like websurfing and mp3-ing and making powerpoint slides all at the same time. I don't intend to use any resource hogging programs like photo editor, so 2gb should be okay?

Now i'm torn between Asus 1215b, HP dm1-4000 and dell m102z
