Hi all, thinking of buying a super portable notebook, here are my requirements, hope you sifus can help! I already have some idea in my mind (ASUS Zenbook) but want to explore my options further.
1. Preferred Brand : Doesn't matter - reliable and looks nice 2. Budget : <RM5000 3. Usage : MS office, surfing, music, office work-related, carry around. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Small to medium small (want portability)

Kinda don't want MacBook... it got stolen recently (house broken into), a bit phobia. Want a nice but not flashy notebook. Maybe Sony Vaio or something? Really noob about these notebook/ultrabook things
Added on April 13, 2012, 2:08 pmActually... Macbook also ok lah.. but is it fully compatible with MS stuff? Can install Windows 7 on it and use like it is a normal laptop? Mainly office work and carry around.

Guys, wanna get a laptop for my dad for his coming birthday. Wanna get him something he could use for his day 2 day surfing and online needs. Probably something small but not too small as he won't be moving it around much.
1. Preferred Brand - any 2. Budget - below 2k 3. Usage - online, surfing, youtube, play shares (no gaming / graphics intensive) 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - anything, prefer portable but not too small coz it's for my dad

It's for my dad who mainly use for surfing, I tested at the shop with IE and tried and open many tabs, its still quite OK (with Chrome, should be even better)... so I got it @ RM1510 + 2 GB RAM (total 4GB) + cheap mouse + slight discount for wireless mouse
