Already got a i5 SB notebook. Just need something portable.  Added on October 3, 2012, 9:56 am QUOTE(weilikler @ Oct 2 2012, 11:29 AM) 1. Preferred Brand: any will do. If you don't mind bigger than 13"2. Budget: RM 3500 max (top up a lil more would be considered) 3. Usage: multitasking, movies, facebook, songs, some light photo editing 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13" 5. Preferred processor: Intel Core i5 standard voltage(i7 if possible with my budget) Hi guys, I'm looking for a laptop, for girl use. Would prefer it to look sleek and light, but would not want a ultrabook processor if possible. Looking for something like ASUS U36SG. Are there any successors to this model? Seems like it is stuck at the 2nd gen Core processors. I have taken interest in ASUS Zenbook, but still seeking advice from sifus here for more options as I would prefer standard voltage CPU. Thanks in advance!!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Tq sifu PFTJ, U have read my mind despite forgetting to put full SSD in the requirements. I am afraid the normal HDD might go kaput earlier compared to SSD due to portability during usage. Anyway, is there any significant difference for office work in term of Sandy Bridge VS Ivy Bridge? Tq again for the recommendations. |

Tq again for the recommendations.  Even if they kaput you could always put in your own SSD which is probably much cheaper and offer much more space during that time  Nope, for normal office work, you won't be able to tell the difference at all between SB and IB |
