Yup, brands like to stick glossy screen in cheap consumer line laptops
Asus Malaysia don't offer customisation options. Take it or leave it

You can do after market upgrade youself for RAM, HDD to SSD without voiding warranty
The GT650M is ~ 20-40% faster than the HD7730M, depends on game titles / setting

Added on January 4, 2013, 5:35 pmWhat TJ mean was "relatives" tend to grumble if the laptops we recommend become faulty

So always safer (for our own backside) to recommend brands that can offer 3 years next business day on site warranty service

And the XPS 13 we have in mind, your aunt will not be able to get 3 years warranty within her budget

(~ RM3.7k, with standard 1 year warranty ~ RM3.3k), but it is a very good laptop
