Whoa Interesting.. Gonna Search for It... And I think I will Upgraded it to 4GB RAM..

Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Dell Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + HD 4000@RM1,549[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM1,749

for the inspiron 14, use the remaining budget to upgrade the RAM as it doesnt void your warranty.

Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + HD 4000@RM1,549[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM1,749
Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1949[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8SL, 3 cell
Vostro 5460, i5-3230M +Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM2099
Vostro 5460, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA SSD + 500GB(5400rpm))@RM2199[1.54kg], 4GB, W8SL, 3 cell

If you obsolutely need light weight, and still has reasonable power to run some CAD, math, software, then go for the i5-3230M spec.
Since you did not mention your budget, I suppose it is around RM2k?

For engineering course, if you ever need to run some apps that need CPU work load, try to go for laptop with i7 quad core.
Try to look for this Lenovo, more or less the cheapest laptop with i7 quad core in Malaysia now.
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Thanks!

not a good deal since the specs arent good enough. it is better you spend overbudget a bit on dell inspiron 14.

the dell SE15 will be better in warranty service, while the Z500 will be better in budget and performance.

Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8
Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white
Lenovo Z400 touch, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

the asus you saw isnt a quad core i7, it is an ULV dual core i7. ULV core i7 never had quad cores.
