The recommended models satisfy your usage
With your budget, not many choice for 3rd gen (ivy bridge) i3 Most are 2nd gen (sandy bridge).

Closest:
Acer
E1-471-32322G50L, i3-2328M + Intel HD3000@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, Linux

Asus
X44H-VX280, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1399[2.44kg], 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS; 1 year warranty

Dell
Inspiron 14, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1399[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

Fujitsu
LH531-MYE0100348, i3-2350M + Intel HD 3000@RM1299, color: red, freeDOS

HP
1000-1201TX, i3-2328M + Intel HD3000@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, no USB3.0, AMD HD7450M@RM1499

Lenovo
G480, i3-2328M + Intel HD3000@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

The Dell is the best deal since it's ivy bridge i3 and come with W8.

thanks

Hi guys! My sis has started A lvls, and may need a laptop in a month or so.

Firstly, she said that she definitely wants win8. I'm also wondering whether is win8 stable currently? Everything good?

I'd say min i5 if its possible. She wants it fast and with Graphics card (nVidia preferably).

After some asking around, not recommended to get a HP or Dell. Acer - try not to.
Appreciate any help and recommendations. Thanks!

Brand : Lenovo , HP , Asus

Price : RM2000

Purpose : Light gaming and durability

I need something reliable and value for money

Hey LENOVO Z480 VS DELL INSPIRON 14R SE I5 WIN8 750GB 5400RPM

does lenovo/dell has good reputation
does lenovo/dell brand has good quality?

which should i get? pm me cause rarely here, much better pm...but comment here also can...ASAP..need minimum 2gb graphic card

Budget? Screen size?
Does your sis play games? That's what (Nvidia) GPU is for.

Since you didn't specify screen size:
14"

Asus
A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

HP

1. "sucks" - in what way? The 2 models has decent build quality Btw, if you are willing to pay, Acer don't suck
2. Reputation - Each brand has "good" reputation somewhere somehow Dell & Lenovo has good warranty support.
3. "quality" - see 1.

You don't need 2GB VRAM GPU for your budget. It's a marketing gimmick. The GPU within your budget range don't have sufficient power to generate data to use the 2G VRAM.

Dell has better standard warranty (on site). Lenovo has longer warranty period (2 year).
Lenovo Z is more colourful.

sorry to ask here, where can i sell my used note book (except posting at Garage sale or other on line store), any other place can recommend to sell it ?

Brand : no idea
Budget : around RM 2000
Screen size : 14" - above
Use For : Do some paperwork ,internet , multimedia and play some mini game

and plan for save budget to buy 1 128GB SSD... make it more faster~ XD

LYN's Garage Sales is your best bet, unless if you don't mind trading in or selling as cheap 2nd hand units at physical stores in LYP

Well, you don't really need a lot of power for your needs, perhaps this one? (Assuming you want something with an OS)
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1399[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

You will still have money to extend warranty to 3 years and also upgrade to SSD

LYP which shop do buy used notebook, the problem that i dun wanna sales at garage sales is i dun wan troble when buyer asking for view the notebook or they wan me to post or COD at the place that i can't make it, my work place are not fixed, i might consider to donate for charity use too.

Budget roughly RM2k-2.8k. She usually don't, but she may with the good graphics. She watches a lot of shows so good graphics would be good too I guess. Thanks. Screen size 14".

Your sis don't need Nvidia GPU to watch show Intel IGPU can handle all the videos out there
She need Nvidia GPU if she play some graphic intensive game. If she is into FB game, flash game, ... she don't need Nvidia GPU.
Fast - looking at your sis usage, I suspect her "fast" is really not concerning CPU / GPU, she really need a SSD
No HP, Dell, Acer. 14".

Asus
K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD

Lenovo
S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199

Price is RSP, negotiable. Use remaining budget to upgrade RAM (4G stick ~ RM80), upgrade HDD to SSD (128G ~ RM250+, 256G ~ RM550+).
Then she will have a light, "fast", laptop.
