hope you can top up and pay a little more for a better performance G480, then get an 'ahem' version of windows. laugh.gif
prices are RRP and negotiable.

Well I showed my sister all of the choices you guys recommended. And she said she likes the G480. Though she asked me if there are any other colour beside black. She said she want a blue one haha sweat.gif

Anyway, thanks for your help thumbup.gif

blue colour is kinda hard to find. sweat.gif
even though there are stocks, the specs may vary. let me check for you at my company later, whether there is blue or not.

iinm, for Lenovo, only U series has blue colour, but U series is a bit over your sister's budget.
You could also try to find the older Z480 (which has blue colour), but don't pin your hope on it tongue.gif And even if you do find it, has to negotiate hard since its old listed price is over her budget.

Generally, laptop with colourful shell, for 14", will be ~ RM2k range (e.g Toshiba)
There are a few models from various brand at 11" that has blue, but those are a bit underpowered (with Atom CPU) for your sis usage.

If she go for Dell 14R, she could has a "blue LCD cover" as well  hmm.gif

Haha it's okay. My sister did said if there aren't any, it's fine with her. I did showed her Dell 14R but she doesn't like the design. I guess looks does matter to girls. (I for one doesn't even care how my laptop looks as long it can pack lots of power flex.gif )
