Yeah, the Asus ultrabooks would be more than enough since you're only using them for normal tasks
Can consider these:
Asus
14"
[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2099[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD
[Ultrabook]S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

15.6"
[Ultrabook]S56CM-XX140V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2499, 2GB, W7HP, OD

Don't mean to question your requirements, but usually netbooks (10.1" in size) will be too small for older people to see and use properly... perhaps you would want to go for those with larger size i.e. 14"?
Anyway, here:
10.1"
Asus Eee PC 1025C, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA3650@RM1059,2GB, 320GB(5400rpm), colors: Black/red/blue
Lenovo IdeaPad S110, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA3650@RM1099, 2GB, 500GB, W7S; colors: flower/red/blue/white/black
Toshiba NB520-1065/Q/N/G/B, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA3650@RM1049[harman/kardon][1.32kg], colors: brown/Turquoise/copper/lime green/blue

14"
Dell
Inspiron 14, B820 + Intel HD@RM999[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1159
Inspiron 14, B980 + Intel HD@RM1199[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1359

This is the only rival
Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2399, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

hi there guys,

Is there any laptop that can compare with Lenovo Y580 currently with the price bellow 3K?

Nope

Your point is correct. My dad always complain cant see properly. But because of the portability and cheap, he opted for the netbook. That y i'm asking wheter is there any laptop available that have the price range of netbook but bigfer screen size. I wanted to buy him a second hand larger screen laptop. But he doesnt trust second hand item. Anyway i think i'll go for the inspiron. Just a question The inspiron proc is it better than atom? Sorry i on mobile. To hassle to google proc benchlist..

well, you could always opt for a tablet instead if your dad is keen on learning how to use touchscreen
The processor in the Inspiron is much better than that of the Atom

There's bigger notebook for similar price....
15.6'' Lenovo G580, B950 + nVidia GT610M@RM1149..

Hi, my friend is looking to purchase a new laptop.

1. Preferred Brand
ASUS or other reliable brands

2. Budget
maximum 2k or lower is better

3. Usage
-basic office work
-web browsing
-watching videos

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
14"

USB3 would be a good addition.
optical drive is optional.
also optional on the dedicated graphic card since he is not a gamer. lol. and pretty tight on budget.

thanks!

Best in terms of what?
Please follow the format so that it'll be easier to recommend to you

The Inspiron is better in almost every way if you are looking at the specifcations
The Windows on the Lenovo is W7 Home Basic instead of Home Premium as in the 14R SE
The GPU is faster in the Dell as well

As for the design, its all down to personal preferences, but the Lenovo should look slimmer... personally I would prefer the Lenovo's design

can i know what is the current reasonable price for gaming laptop?
diablo3, guild war2, star craft2. run with normal and above performance

or

if im gonna consider a desktop i need to get keyboard+monitor...

BRAND
any brand is ok for me

Budget
RM3000 below

Usage
Gaming, net surfing, video edit, multitask

prefer size
14" 15" 17"

Ultrabooks will suit you well
14"
Dell [Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i3-3217U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.87kg], 4GB, W7HB, *no VGA port, OD
HP [Ultrabook] Envy 4-Ultrabook 4-1035TU, i3-2377M + Intel HD3000 + [32GB mSATA+ 500GB HDD(5400rpm)]@RM2159, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
Lenovo [Ultrabook]S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB

The Lenovo is the best in terms of overall specification
Perhaps you can get that one, and use the remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years ~

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. However, I need some clarification regarding the Dell 14z Microsoft® Office trial [Included in Price]. For the price of 2,099 it does not include the full version of Microsoft office right? Do any of these model come with the full version of Microsoft office or do I need to add another RM400-500 for the original Microsoft office?
