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

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

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

mSATA SSD will help in terms of overall speed, including boot and shutdown... but the speed increment will not be comparable to that of Full SSDs
You need at least RM3.2k to get a notebook with a stock, Full SSD from Dell sad.gif
Unless if you don't mind upgrading to SSD yourself  tongue.gif

If from Dell. RM3.2K
How about others? I might look at other vendors.

I don't mind upgrading the HDD to SSD myself.
It just depend on the warranty from dell. hmm.gif
