2. Watching online video and streaming
3. Surf web site
4. Playing normal games
Any suggestion for the notebook prefer haswell chip or ivb chip as alternative.
Pls: no want black color[SIZE=1]

1. Preferred Brand - any brand
2. Budget - below or 1.6k
3. Usage - mom using, so going to work and showing presentation,normal usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 12" something like that.
5. Lightweight and reliable brand (last long la )
6. Umm. support projector? thanks!

nexus, what's the difference between the Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W and the Satellite L50-A100X/XW? i'm thinking of cutting down my budget.

Vostro - lighter, the i3 M is slightly more powerful than the i3 ULV in Inspiron 14 (also drain the 48Whr battery faster )
Insprion 14 - more frugal power usage, can opt for 6 cell 65Whr battery for long battery running time (standard spec is 40Whr, but since it is using i3 ULV, still run longer than the Vostro 5460 with i3 M), has 2 RAM slot easier to increase RAM (Vostro 5460 only 1 RAM slot).

But one of your main criteria is good / long warranty support (3 years to cover for your sis study?). If you go for Vostro 5460, may not have budget left to extend warranty (defeat the purpose of going with Dell )

One more thing, for budget laptop like these, the profit margin for brands are not that high, expect on ~ 10% discount from list price if you negotiate good (Those RM4-5k laptop may get some extremely good deal if negotiate hard enough )

Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty; colors: Blue/gold/white
Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:silver/white

err ... 14" vs 15"? 
Joke aside, the L50 use the i5 M CPU, which is more powerful than the i5 ULV CPU in L40, but drain more power.
Also the L50 keyboard has dedicated numpad key.
Otherwise, both models are similar 

That's what I thought too..discount won't be much for low budget. May not opt for 3 years warranty also(extra cost), maybe go for accidental dmg. 

Now looking in terms of performance (multi task, not slowed down/lagging if too much task), battery usage, portability.

Inspiron 14 - i3U@1.8GHz, 2gb RAM, 4-cell, slight heavier

Vostro - i3M@2.5GHz, 4gb RAM, 3-cell, thin/lighter

Like you say, vostro processor slightly more powerful but drain batt faster...

How many hours can the battery last with normal usage for both laptop?

hihi xD
so the i5 in the L50 is much powerful and the L50 also boasts a numpad. What makes the L40 being priced the same as the L50 then? portability factor only?

Actually, ULV CPU is more expensive than M CPU

any idea why?

both really seem like good setups. can't make a decision. if you we're me which one would you go for?

   
this is my first time to post it here..   

1. Preferred Brand - ASUS or Dell
2. Budget - below or 1.6k
3. Usage - for university life (study accounting course) and minimum gaming (well, games at facebook)
4. Preferred laptop: Asus S56CB or Dell Inspiron 14R 5421 touch.
5. Preferred screen size: 14" or 15"
6. others: good battery life. can survive for 4 years and easy to carry around

1. Preferred Brand: Apple, Lenovo or Asus. Doesn't really matter
2. Budget: <Rm4k
3. Usage: Never owned a laptop before but I think I'll need one for university (planning to twin for 2 years) So I'll need something that can...:
...Tahan lama (at least 4 years of abuse)
...Easy to carry around and not an eyesor
...Able to process DSLR RAW files via Lightroom at decent speeds
...MUST be able to play Dota 2, SC2, CS GO and D3 at medium to low settings with respectable FPS. Will only be playing casual games, so high end graphics cards are not needed.
...Good battery life

4. Preferred laptop/screen size  13 inch
Actually I'm just doing this to get some models in mind, will most likely only purchase only later in the year when I enter uni and get a feel of what I really need for my course (Nothing to do with graphic design or IT)

Right now I'm thinking of the 2013 MacBook air 2013 128GB SSD along with the i7 upgrade. Asus' UX32VD looks impressive, but then again, reviews say the battery life isn't the best, and the 620M might not have that large an advantage over the Apple.

I don't mind heavier laptops as well. My sisters 2010/11 MBP is probably the heaviest I would want in a laptop. Seems like the windows alternative to the MBP (aluminium Chassis) are all extinct for some reason..
