do have model with free dos, window 7 home basic, window 8

Intel mobile CPU in the market right now is either Sandy Bridge (2nd gen) or Ivy Bridge (3rd gen) i core.
B8xx is the "Celeron" brand under Sandy Bridge architecture.
B9xx is the "Pentium" brand under Sandy Bridge architecture.
They are supposed to receive a revision to Ivy Bridge by Intel around March13.

Go here to look for 2nd hand laptop.
Please exercise usual caution dealing with someone you meet online
You can probably find someone letting go of their laptop with sandy bridge i3 or i5 (i3/5-2xxxM) CPU within the budget
Important thing to keep in mind is that if you go 2nd hand, most likely the laptop will not be under manufacturer warranty anymore

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + AMD HD7730M@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8

and good luck finding Lenovo Y480(5934-7549), i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M (GDDR5) @RM2599 [JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, freeDOS; EOL-ed

but not recommended to get that Lenovo @@

else top up get Asus N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black

You ask for a lot for your budget

You want to boot Mac OSX, you need to know how to get over the "white list" by Apple.
Sure fire way to be able to boot all the OSes listed is to get a Mac:
15"
MacBookPro 15", i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1440x900)@RM5499[2.56kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

Don't bother about free gifts lah Cheap stuff, poor quality ...
Warranty, all the brands allow you to extend warranty. You just have to pay more.
Scratch? Get protective film.
Cool design? Only you could determine that
loud and nice speakers? All laptop speakers suck
Wifi chipset? Some Dell models let you customise wifi card. Other brands in Malaysia? Take it or leave it. Check on the display model to see it has the chipset you like.

I am just going to list few 14" with GT640M GPU (please note this is a lot less powerful than GT640 in desktop) that is close to your budget:

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8
Lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

Hi guys, if compare Lenovo Y580 vs Acer Aspire V3-571G, specs wise is Aspire win right?
but heard that Acer is using low quality hardware, thats why selling cheap, is it true?

^spec wise Y580 is better..

oh ya the graphic card and somemore the backlight keyboard..

Acer aspire v3-571g is considered good ?

recommend me a good laptop mainly for web surfing n working (non-graphic related work)

prefered brand-asus, dell, acer

budget-rm1000-rm1200

usage-work(word, powerpoint, etc), surfing internet

laptop size-14"

Looking for a laptop.
Budget: Less than RM2.5K
Prefer: Dell
Best if have a SSD as main drive.
Mainly for college usage like assignment and etc.

Good or not depends on what you are using the notebook for?

haha, use it for Gaming..

gaming under 2k?

These perhaps?
14"
Acer
V5-431-887B2G50, B887 + Intel HD@RM1299[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Asus
X401A-091/092/093R, B820 + Intel HD3000@RM1299[1.85kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/white/green; 1 year warranty

Dell
Inspiron 14, B820 + Intel HD@RM999[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8
Inspiron 14, B980 + Intel HD@RM1199[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

All are capable of handling the tasks you've mentioned

Y580 is better by a A LOT if you are looking at gaming performance

You won't be able to get a Full SSD at that budget range, but you can get something with an mSATA
14"
DEll
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2449[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD

dell inspiron 14r se i5 vs lenovo z480.....which is better for overall? as i hate about dell..the warranty to short....where can i buy blank laptop? without os as i got 10 free windows 8 pro.from microsoft..so i can save few hundreds

But a bit skeptical on the mSATA SSD.
Will it improve that boot speed and shutdown speed?

I might go for the i3 version, since not gonna really game on it. I have a desktop for that.
