Hey guys, i need a good & reliable laptop to last me min 3 years

1. Preferred Brand - as long as service is ok
2. Budget - 2.5k to 3k; can stretch to rm3k plus if needed
3. Usage - for work purpose most of the times, surf net
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 or 13.3, lightweight, best if have Dvd drive as well. Or else how much does an external costs?

Tq tq

Yup, brands like to stick glossy screen in cheap consumer line laptops  sweat.gif

Asus Malaysia don't offer customisation options. Take it or leave it tongue.gif You can do after market upgrade youself for RAM, HDD to SSD without voiding warranty  laugh.gif

The GT650M is ~ 20-40% faster than the HD7730M, depends on game titles / setting  tongue.gif

What TJ mean was "relatives" tend to grumble if the laptops we recommend become faulty tongue.gif
So always safer (for our own backside) to recommend brands that can offer 3 years next business day on site warranty service laugh.gif
And the XPS 13 we have in mind, your aunt will not be able to get 3 years warranty within her budget tongue.gif (~ RM3.7k, with standard 1 year warranty ~ RM3.3k), but it is a very good laptop smile.gif

Good warranty service, Dell or Lenovo.

Dell
Inspiron 14z, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1799[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, *no VGA port, OD
Inspiron 14z, i3-3217U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.87kg], 4GB, W7HB/W8, *no VGA port, OD
Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2449[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD

Lenovo
S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; W8@RM2199

Make sure you upgrade warranty to 3 years on site.
External USB 2.0 DVDRW is ~ RM120.

Tq Nexus! Price for lenovo S400 still negotiable? How much is reasonable? N any ideas the price for 3 years on site warranty?
Think im more keen to kenovo than dell tongue.gif
