7200rpm HDD is slightly faster than 5400rpm HDD, it will impact any disc accessing activities (OS boot, program launch, swap file, ... )

SSD - solid state drive, inside is NAND flash. Relatively expensive (128G ~ RM250+). Compare to HDD:
run (very much) faster
quieter (no moving parts)
cooler (generate a lot less heat)
help laptop getting better battery performance (use less power)

All the high end ultrabook use full SSD.

Lenovo keyboard is good. The touchpad in Y580 is up to personal taste (you go and try it to find out).

Dust? Blow them away (seriously, use compressed air or brush)

Important to keep laptop clean. You do heard about the research which found keyboard is dirtier than toilet seat?

Usually people running AutoCad and 3D modelling stuffs would prefer 15" notebooks because of the FullHD screen (larger workspace)...
But if you want a 14", then this one has the best specs (before the Asus G46 comes in, if it comes ):
Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

Going down one level would be these:
14"
Asus A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

Lenovo V480, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM2899, 4GB,750GB(5400rpm), W7P

Toshiba Satellite M840-1009XG/XP/XQ, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2799[2kg], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP; colors: Gold/Pink/Blue

hey guys, can you suggest a laptop for my younger brother. But he's on tight budget.. a laptop below 1K.. is that possible? pfft.. i also dun know.. he also mentioned that he dun mind for a 2nd hand laptop.. but where can i look a nice decent 2nd hand laptop? anyway this is what i think he prefer.
1. Preferred Brand=Acer.. anything else would be ok or maybe something more superior than Acer.

2. Budget=below 1K (this question me of how in the hell i can look for a laptop below 1K)haha..

3. Usage=light usage web office work ( report writing for his job) excel and words only. plus web browsing.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size= 14.1 or 13.3 maybe..

thanks for helping me out guys =)

Yes, there are 14" laptop for < RM1k, and they can handle your brother usage requirement

Acer
Aspire E1-431-B822G50, B820 + Intel HD@RM1099, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Dell
Inspiron 14, B820 + Intel HD@RM999[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

Lenovo
G480, B830 + Intel HD3000@RM999, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

FreeDOS means need to get OS yourself. That's why the Dell is a good deal, you get W8.
MS Office not included in RSP. If your brother open a few Words or Excel files simultaneously, good idea to upgrade RAM (4G is ~RM80), maybe can ask re-seller to give it as free upgrade

guys its lenovo s300 good? since it ultrabook..using it for browsing..youtube..hd movies 720p/1080p...

connect to tv 40" vida hdmi watching 1080p..

a simple editing from photoshop...

my budget is 1.2k only...i dun a bulky notebook..and yes i know s300 dun have a dvd..its ok..

but the main thing i want to know that pentium 997 its enough? since i see bench b950 > 997...hmm

Hey guys, need a recommendation.

Preferred brand- None, any brand works.

Budget- Below 1k, a bit higher is OK.

Usage- Gaming and web browsing.

Preferred screen size- Not a problem, the smaller the better

Your budget is a bit too low for any serious gaming unfortunately
You need around at least Rm1.5k to get a decent budget gaming machine capable of playing the latest games at around low-mid level graphic settings 

Usually a 14" mainsteam notebook would be a better pick because of the better performance. but since you are more interested in portability, the S300 will do
It can handle the stuffs you mentioned, but try not to expect too much in Photoshop, especially more intensive tasks 

bro u think pentium 997 can perform well..i means can open 7 tab..2 browser watching utube at the same time or hd movies...

and can it run well on windows 7 ultimate..or win 8?

i sked if it lag...

4gb ram is enough right?

Edited accordingly, recommendations?

The latest S300 model comes with W8 already right?
It should be able to handle your requirements, but on the safe side, try to "test-drive" on display models, just to be sure 

lowyat plaza get ar a display model??

later test2 sure kena buy 

Yup, I've seen display units there the last time I went there

Well, they are display units (which are meant for you to abuse try)
