Care to share what course is your daughter studying? If she is not into anything that require heavy GPU processing power, those with Intel IGPU should be fine.
Unfortunately, not too many 4th gen (Haswell) spec laptop / hybrid are in Malaysia yet. When is she going to Manchester? If you really want Haswell, may need to wait until 3Q13.
Actually warranty is still relevant smile.gif Certain brands offer international warranty, so if anything go wrong, she could still get it fix in UK.

Have a look at the following. They are not Haswell (or you can wait for their iteration with Haswell spec later this year), but should be good enough for your daughter (assume no discrete GPU required).



Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Her semester starts on 17 September 2013. She is a Pharmacy (MPharm) student at Manchester University. I would prefer to wait until a week or so before the semester starts to get the latest model possible.
