Thank you for the recommendation. However, is it okay to have small screen for old people? I thought bigger is better?

Thank you again

I think my message must have get directed to "don't know where" (if we go to Dell Malaysia business laptop page, when we select a model, there is a "yes, I am interested" button. I clicked that and left a message )
Anyway, my IT bought me the E6430, fully customised to my requirement. That's what you can do if you want to buy Dell business laptop. Go to spec section, look up all the possible spec that Dell allow, copy it down and shot to the online agent.

If you like the V3 FHD, go for it It come with 1 year international warranty, but if you want you could also buy warranty extension pack with Highpoint (Acer SC) (2 years for ~ RM200--, iinm).

Yes, SSD is very nice, will greatly enhance user experience

Ehh ... I thought you said your mom's eyesight is better than yours
Yes, definitely, older people generally prefer bigger screen and bigger font size

Unfortunately, in Malaysia, for 17" model, they are generally more like gaming rig rather than multimedia rig (which I think your parent will appreciate more).
You may want to consider this 17":
www.illegear.com
Illegear RE-17, i5-3210M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080)@RM3499, 4GB, 500(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3840XM
They are Malaysian selling customisable laptop based on Clevo barebone, and offer good warranty support. One of them, Prince J, has a thread right here in LYN, you can check with him.
The i5 & the GPU is more than enough for your parents usage. Spend the money on getting the best screen (95% NTSC gamut), 8G RAM, 256G Crucial M4 SSD, 3 year warranty, and your parents should have very nice user experience. If they don't like the logo, you can opt out as well. Illegear run some nice promotion from time to time, giving free screen colour calibration (do this for best result for the nice screen), better thermal paste, free RAM upgrade etc (normally during festive season).
If you like something smaller, can go for the RE-15 15".

hi i thought ultrabook the weight is lesser usually? what is the difference between ultrabook and normal laptop?thanks

Hi guys. Looking for a moderate gaming laptop for uni purpose.

1. Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Dell
2. Below 2.5k
3. Moderate gaming(COD, Crysis 3, Borderlands 2) and multimedia purposes(photoshop, video editing/encoding)
4. The bigger the better, But just not smaller than 13".

Thanks!

15" ultrabooks are like that. if you want lighter, you can look for 14" and below (which is usually more expensive). ultrabooks uses lightweight, smaller battery, comes or doesnt comes with low performance graphics card and ultra-low-voltage processors. ultrabooks are more power saving compared to normal laptops, as expected ultrabooks have battery performance of about 4-6 hours while normal laptops have expected battery performance of 2-4 hours.

Laptop 1
