what kind of long term usage is it?
if you are talking about gaming and heavy use, it is definitely good.
if you are talking about idling, it can even handle long hours idling.

Sorry Guys, last question before i go and get the Notebook

1. Preferred Brand - Any

2. Budget - Below RM1.5k (Preferably)

3. Usage - Microsoft Assignment + Surfing + YouTube + Movies Watching + Facebook Games (seldom)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 or less (Touch Screen not important)

5. I have a Win 8 installed on my desktop, which i think i want to transfer to the new notebook if its doesn't comes with any OS if it is possible?

The models below are in my list right now, please comment on them


Dell
Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell


Lenovo
RM1210 G400S / I3-3110 / 4GB / 500GB / INTEL HD / 14" / DOS ***NEW***
RM1310 G480 / I5-3230 / 2GB / 500GB / INTEL HD / 14' / DOS

Yup, not many cheap 17" in Malaysia, not popular at all Most potential buyers have the same opinion like you, with adapter, the whole thing weight close to 4kg

Another cheap 17" is this:
MSI
MSI CX70 [0ND-030MY], i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M + (1600x900)@RM2999[2.7kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Generally, for old uncle / aunty with not so good eye sight, who want laptop but don't need to bring laptop out of house, these are the models that are suitable (I'm not implying you are old, ok )

try once put in put out pendrive see see

you can not transfer Win 8 OS like that, its illegal

will be uninstalled on the desktop not using at both at the same time

well if u confident can activated it, you may do it

i changed the hardware on the desktop before, need to call microsoft to activate it, but i dont know if it work transferring from desktop to notebook

Well, is your Windows 8 Retail or OEM?
Only Retail version can legally transfer.

ok good question, how to check? mine was the upgrade version of Windows 7.

You bought it from Microsoft using the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant?
If yes, then you can transfer it, just need to remove it from the old pc.

hoho. i never let anyone to transfer files to my computer without my acknowledgement and permission.

I was thinking to buy the newer Intel Haswell Processor, so far offering in UK is only the MSI, the Sony (Tablet and VAIO Pro) or Macbook Air.

Not sure if I should go for the Macbook as I am using one for myself currently (this is mean for my girlfriend). She would need to install some applications which is only supported by windows.
