Greetings to all the sifus.

Please help me buy a new laptop based on the following criteria

1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo/Asus/Dell
2. Budget - Below RM1200
3. Usage
- I mainly will use the laptop for surfing internet, Facebook, Youtube, torrent, P2P, very little photo editing and watching movies.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size
- 14 inch
- Long battery life
- Dual core processors because I tend to do multitasking (downloading while watching movies)
- Not very heavy
- Quite slim
- No overheating problem because I usually use it for very long hour 6 hours++
- Nice display
- 500GB HDD
- 4 GB RAM if possible
- Chicklet design keyboard
- Black/silver color
- Free DOS
- No touch screen
- Good audio quality with decent loud speaker
- Good build quality because I tend to "abuse" the laptop a bit
- At least 3 USB ports
- Maybe have extra features like fast boot, security, spill-proof, backup, etc

Thank you in advance for all you help

I know... At least please recommend me the best that I can get within that budget (RM1200)

Thanks

Thank you very much. But, why no Asus? Is Asus no good? I know Asus makes quality laptops but how are their support in Malaysia?

OIC. So, in term of build quality and after sale service which one you recommend? I hear Dell is really good.

I've been reading and reading about which brand to buy. I'm not new in buying laptop. I've bought 3-4 Acer, 2 Asus, 1 Compaq, 1 Toshiba, 2 HP minis and used my brother's dell netbook. Not for myself only but for my friends and family. I heard that Asus and Toshiba is good but to me not that good. I've used a lot of Acer from Inspire to Travelmate and I'm satisfied with them despite a lot of people saying Acer is no good. In the end of the day, I just need a reliable laptop that won't die on me for at least 3 years. Is that a lot to ask for a budget of RM1200?
