What do mean by don't mind the usage?
If you travel, you need something light (sacrifice power); if you game, you neeed good GPU.
So nobody can tell you what is "bang for bucks" unless you tell us what you want to use it for

Only 13" or smaller can satisfy your weight requirement

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".
Illegear RE-15, i5-3210M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080)@RM3299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3840XM][/color]
