Asking for a friend

1. Preferred Brand : Dell (No Acer)
2. Budget : Rm2k below
3. Usage : Photoshop, so if can get an i5 would be nice
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14" preferably. If can get something light and slim is a bonus.
Hello desktop sifu
If your friend is willing to go for a 13" notebook + nice and slim, then can consider the Vostro V131

Dell
Vostro V131, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1799[1.82kg], 4GB, 320GB(7200rpm), anti-glare, W7HB, colors: silver/red
Vostro V131, i5-2450M + Intel HD3000@RM1999[1.82kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), anti-glare, W7HB, colors: silver/red
The processor is Sandy Bridge though. Its not easy to get Ivy Bridge for that price range.
Omitting slim/ light, then:
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)
Dell Vostro 3450 (SB), i5-2450M + AMD HD6630M@RM2099, 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm)
Other brand:
Asus A45Vm-VX113v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
