Hey its you again laugh.gif I remember you  laugh.gif  laugh.gif
Welcome back~
For those normal tasks, an ultrabook will do (Z500 is not exactly an ultrabook):
14"
Dell Vostro 5460, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA SSD + 500GB(5400rpm))@RM2199[1.54kg], 4GB, W8SL, 3 cell

HP [Ultrabook] Envy 4-Ultrabook 4-1035TU, i3-2377M + Intel HD3000 + [32GB mSATA+ 500GB HDD(5400rpm)]@RM2159, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Lenovo [Ultrabook]S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199

*Only recommending the ones with SSD for snappier performance  laugh.gif

Because I recommended you one of your notebooks before? Forgot which one already though since you kept on changing (or changing for your gf) haha laugh.gif
ANyways its good to see you again~

Well, I wasn't recommending any normal notebooks because they are simply overkill for your gf's usage. The ultrabooks may have slower CPU (not that it matters if its only for normal tasks), with mSATA SSD, ultrabooks will still give a faster experience then those normal notebooks with a normal (slow) HDD  icon_rolleyes.gif
Additionally, ultrabooks are slimmer, lighter, and more good-looking, girls will dig those  wub.gif

Yea, i asked here twice before, but 1 for me another for my bro. Not that i keep changing.. haha.
Anyway. are there 15" with msata? since i dont really need ultrabooks.
15" is better for movies right?

The thing is only ultrabooks will have mSATA SSD or SSD as default. If you are getting a normal notebook, you'll have to install one yourself, and of course, not everyone has the technical abilities to do that (including me tongue.gif)
15" in general are better for movies, if the screen resolution in high enough. 1366x768 is not exactly very high for the notebooks you can get with your budget unfortunately. You get more DPI, but it will actually make everything even weirder (as in too large). Large size will mean harder to carry as well.
But if you insist, can consider these:
15.6"
Acer
V5-571G-53314G50, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M@RM2199[2.3kg], 4GB, 500GB, W7HP
V3-571G-53212G50, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999, 2GB, 500GB

Dell
Inspiron 15, i5-3337U + AMD HD7670M@RM1799[2.25kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell, Linux; W8SL@RM1949
Inspiron 15R, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1899[2.65kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8

Lenovo
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty
