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!

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

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 smile.gif Intel IGPU can handle all the videos out there biggrin.gif
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 smile.gif
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.

Thanks! Just wondering if the same specs of Asus is found on Dell, how much would it be? Just to compare?

The closest Dell to that K46CM are these:
Inspiron 14R, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM2099[1.97kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8SL
Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2449[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD

Seems Dell's cheaper? well, thanks again Nexus! Appreciate it.
