Hi ho people,
it's been a while, but the time has come for me to get another laptop! for the missus that is.
need recommendation on 11.5/12" out there. saw that there's not too many choices, but it would be great to hear some thoughts from owners/sellers regarding them. max budget at rm2k, and she'll be using it mainly for spreadsheet, surfing and watching movies
Am looking at Sony vpcyb15ag. looks pretty darn nice, and she seems to like the lime green too.
however, if need be i can convince her to go for the more typical black or silver, lol.
thanks in advance!
p/s: how sleek is that timeline 3830? looks nice

(I think the priced dropped, there's another with i3 variant too) ASUS K43U : AMD E-450 + AMD HD6310 ASUS K43Ta : AMD A6 + AMD HD6650 Btw, make sure to format the external hard disk to eXFAT instead of NTFS and FAT32.
