Added on November 29, 2012, 3:03 pmSamsung Series 5, I strongly suggest you have a hands-on look at the build quality to see if you are ok with it.
13"
NP530U3C, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2699[1.52kg], 4GB, W7HP
14"
NP530U4C, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M + 24GB mSATA + 1TB HDD@RM2999[1.81kg], 6GB, ODD, W7HP
Dell XPS also has good build quality, and good warranty support (NBD on site). Spec within your budget:
13"
XPS13, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3299[1.36kg], 4GB, W8, backlit
Use spare cash to extend warranty to 3 years.
Lenovo (not Thinkpad) 13"
U310, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 32GB SSD + 320GB(5400rpm) HDD@RM2599, 4GB, W7HP, Free HDMI-VGA converter; color: Grey, 2 years international warranty
I can now go to LYP (or forthcoming PC Fair in KLCC?) with peace of mind focusing on those brands only
. A friend of mine was saying that Lenovo is quite reliable brand and most of on-site TM installer are using it. Pros: heavy duty and it comes with mother board protector. is it true? how about their after sales?

Added on November 29, 2012, 3:03 pmIf you still have the office 2010 (or older like 2007) in your old acer, you can save by continue using that license. Otherwise, depend on version (Home & Student has words, excel, powerpoint, Home & Biz add outlook), it will cost you RM200 - 500 extra.
Unfortunately, mine now is pirated version. recently had problem with it on couple of occasion where my reports gone haywire.... formatting all gone and file got corrupted. thats why i thinking of using genuine version for my new ultrabook. the old Acer can be used a 'desktop' at home
