Study what course? What softwares are you expected to use?
Above 11", but want light weight + good keyboard with RM1k, tough

13"
Lenovo
S300, Pentium 997 + Intel HD @RM1199[1.8kg], 2GB,500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS; W7HB/W8@RM1399, no ODD, 1 yr warranty
S300, 1007U + Intel HD @RM999[1.8kg], 2GB,500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS; W8@RM1199

FreeDOS mean you need to get OS yourself.

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Becoz I saw you give to other ppl price range from rm28XX if they quote for 3k...sorry Im not good at this thing...
I thought you didn't notice I was quoting for 3k price range....sorry...

Don't think too much about "brand". Each brand has lots of models, some are good, some are not good value for money, ... (hope you get the picture).
The Toshiba listed is good value since the price is good for its spec and come with 3 years warranty (longer than any other brands listed standard spec (other brand you have to pay more to extend to 3 years)).

For your budget, you can only get HD screen unfortunately. If you have seen 14" laptop before, most (if not all) are HD screen. For casual online, HD screen is sufficient.
For 15", if you want better screen, you need to pay close to RM3k.
For example,
Acer
V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8
This has 1 of the nicest screen around. FHD panel (can display 1080p video), great colour and contrast.

The other model can process higher resolution, you just have to connect to external display or TV that support those higher resolution (normally through HDMI port).

How should I put this?
Supposed you took a picture using your smartphone or camera. You transfer the file to your laptop. The picture pop up on the laptop screen. You edit, make adjustment, everything look nice. Then you print. Holy ***, the print does not look like what it show on the screen (colour and contrast all off)
That is because most of the laptop screen are not calibrate properly to show the colour correctly right out of factory. (Even on expensive model like MacBook )
For casual use, some users don't really care. But if you are willing to spend a little bit of money (~RM60), you could get your laptop screen calibrated using professional tool.
For example:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=162&t=2666788
(I'm not related to the TS, and am not endorsing his service ).

Don't worry, those models are < RM3k. Sufficient for your usage Don't overspend for specs that you don't need.
If you still have budget, consider use the remaining of your budget to change the HDD to SSD (solid state drive), keep the HDD as external storage. SSD 128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600. SSD make user feels the laptop performance become a LOT snappier (really worth the money).

Thanks again..You can pm me and suggest where to buy tho....

boss, need a recommendation for
laptop < 2kRM
prefer light in weight
with at i5 processor
No Acer/HP. thanks/....

Asus K46cb - wx060h

Can someone please help me? Any good recommendations? I want something that will last as I will be leaving overseas for studies long term.

1. Anything besides Asus
2. 3-3.5k
3. Gaming/studies (Dota2 in high spec)
4. Anything above 14 inch

You need to tell us where you are right?

The models listed are all sufficient for your usage spec wise.
So the remaining question can only be answered by you
Go out and look at the real thing. Look at the screen, type on the keyboard, use the touchpad, listen to the speakers, carry it, see if the design suit your taste .... (all rather subjective).

15" mostly not light lah All > 2.4kg

Morning, hi..
Need some help here..

Preferred brand: Any
Budget: 1.6k~2k
Usage: Gaming(WoW -consistent fps would be nice ,LoL and few others), Univ work(word,ppt,pdf), watch movies
Preferences: 14", not so heavy

note: i am not much in a hurry, i read something about Haswell processor or something in earlier posts (honestly i dont understand), does it include in my budget range and is it worth the wait?
One more thing, ive been using Acer Aspire 4741G (i5, Nvidia 310M) for more than 2 years now which i bought at around 1.8k(dont really remember). Its not really in a bad condition but if i buy a new laptop now, would the upgrade be a lot (since the price range is still the same) or should i just save up same more?

Thanks in advance..

You can find some reputable re-sellers at LYN garage sales forum
Some of them do delivery service like devour, numbertwo ...
If you prefer those who has shop in LYP, then look for re-sellers like rickyrich, itking ... (contact them first so that you could negotiate price and confirm stock 1st ... )
