Hello it's me again. Apparently I decided to increase my budget to get a better laptop.
The factors that I'm still considering are the portability and performance.
Portability wise it should be below 14" and below 2kg.
Performance wise just enough to do normal activities like surfing, movies, words, etc. gaming is not a priority.
The budget will 2.5k and below.
The one i'm considering now is acer aspire s3. Isit a good buy?
Thank you.

Just try not to expect too much in terms of performance as well as entertainment (speakers)  It was built with only one thing in mind - portability  Oh thanks for the feedback. I think it can perform what I need? as for speakers I think it will not be a big problem coz I got a portable speaker as well haha  And yea it suit my budget well. What worried me is the build and quality of the laptop. Have you heard of any common problems or issues of it? and as for as I know the battery is not detachable, so will it be a problem in a long run?

I guess you get what you paid for? So I guess there is no other option in my budget rite? Should go and try out the machine itself. Thank you so much |
