What course is your sister studying? Different course use different software and may need more or less powerful laptop.

Asus Malaysia and "good customer service" don't go well in the same sentence laugh.gif

If you really want Asus 15":
N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black
A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black
A55VD-SX520/521/522H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M@RM2149[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: white/blue/red
A55VD-SX471/472/473, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1599[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/red/white

For girl and if she need to bring it around, may be 14" is more suitable. Have a look at these Dell:

Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + HD 4000@RM1549[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

She's doing more on Banking and Finance. The laptop would be more on assignment purposes.
I thought Asus was comparable to Dell when it comes to warranty issues?

Then she is most likely using MS Office, some simple statistical software at most.
i5 M is more than sufficient.

Huh? Asus Malaysia has good warranty support?  laugh.gif

Thank you. I guess I will go for Dell then.

It was really a horror reading those complaints on Asus customer service.
