3. Samung NP370R4E, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, W8

This is not a seller thread Go to garage sales threads to look for re-sellers.
The prices are the RSP (recommended sales price) by the brands. Negotiate with re-sellers for better price.
Yes, the specs are for the price
As I said, business softwares are mostly written for Windows OS. You can run MacBook in Windows OS using bootcamp if you like. But your budget will NOT get you a MacBook.

4GB RAM stick is ~ RM90 now.
Yes, K46CB only that colour.

price increased for 4GB stick. it is RM10x+- for 8 chips and RM11x for 16 chips.

How can anyone tell you which to choose unless you at least tell us what you plan to use it for?
Anyway:
Vostro 5460 is the newest model. Also the lightest of the three. Dell has the better warranty support. Upgrade to 3 years for RM250 if you can.
S400 is light as well. The CPU is 2 generation old (Sandy Bridge), but not much different from the i3 of the other 2 models. You may not be able to find this spec easily though (unless re-seller has old stocks).
NP370R4E is also nice. Main difference from the other two is the matte screen (very rare among laptop in this price range). Quite good value.

Performance wise, all 3 should be similar.
So you should go out and look / touch / play / type / carry / scroll / listen to the real things to decide for yourself

Damn Then 8G stick is better value now.

Go out and look at the real thing to decide for yourself

what form factor? traditional laptop type / hybrid / tablets?
What do you plan to use it for? Difficult to recommend unless you are more specific

Negotiate, and those models will come within / very close to your RM1.7k budget

As I said, you could play Dota2 with i3 and HD4000, but a discrete GPU never hurt.

If you could consider non-thin/light, then:

Lenovo
G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS
G400s, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1449, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1549 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 4 cell

Prices are RSP, NEGOTIABLE

Wow. I am just helping my friend to ask. anyway, thanks alot!

1. Preferred Brand - Asus or Lenovo only
2. Budget - budget constraint, not more than RM2k
3. Usage - gaming!! and work ~
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14

and if possible, please suggest a laptop with numpad on its keyboard, if it is within my budget..

Thank you, sir

Traditional notebook will do...better if hybrid...no want tablet.

Hi guys, I'm looking for laptop/ultrabook that is suitable for web/mobile designer.
I know that majority would recommend Macbook Pro/Air but I don't have that budget Plus, I'm used to Windows

1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo
2. Budget - below RM3k
3. Usage - Using Photoshop, Illustrator, video editing, & programming. Mainly deal with graphics & development, multi-tasking
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 inch screen size, light weight (<2.3kg)

Please advise. Thank you

Hey thanks for the advise. However, it slightly heavy and would be hassle for travel. How about ultrabook? Such as U410?

Sorry guys for the inconvenience, but please proceed to the new thread for recommendations ya!
