RM3 - 3.9k
http://store.apple.com/my/mac/family/macbook-air

Its either this
Inspiron 14 (3420), i3-3110M + Nvidia GT625M@RM1599[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

or this

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

The 1st option is more powerful for photo editing, but with the 2nd option you should still have enough budget to extend warranty to 3 years, which is recommended for a Dell

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

Should be good enough for your usage. If you are not in a hurry, wait a bit for Haswell (probably Sep/Oct13)

This is the current 14R
Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1549 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 4 cell

If you wait, the 14 will probably be spec with similar CPU, and the HD4400 will give better performance vs HD4000.

15" usually are not light. iinm, there is no 15" in Malaysia that is < 2kg.

Vostro 5560, i3-3120M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2009[2.2kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, ODD
Vostro 5560, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2349[2.2kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8, ODD

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
These happen to be one of the lightest 15" around.
Tick all your boxes, maybe except kid resistant (for that, you need a tank or something like:
Latitude E6530, i5-3360M + Intel HD4000@RM4550, 4GB, 320GB(7200rpm), W7P (32-bit), 3 years on-site warranty; [CPU options: i5-3360M-i7-3720QM][GPU option: Nvidia NVS5200M], HD+ & FullHD screen upgradable

1. Preferred Brand : any
2. Budget : below 3K
3. Usage : work
4. Screen size : 15"
5. Touch Screen
6. Spill Resistence Keyboard

thanks

As long as you extend the coverage to 3 years (for XPS, the description will be something like "NBD onsite with Accidental Damages Services" (or something like that) then the coverage is automatically international. But the caveat is the model must also has been / are being sold in that country that you claim service.

ODD? External ODD is < RM150 now lah

Accidental coverage is the best kid-protection you can buy (or you need business class tank machine )

Work as in ..... ??? Tell us more so that we know what level of firepower you need.
Touchscreen for 15" is really not a good idea, unless

I think the Toshiba l40 will be a great choice becuase of its 3 years warranty

I don't think there are any spill-resistant 15" notebooks at that price range. But if 14" then perhaps these:
14"
