1. Preferred Brand : Any will do. Quality made is prefered
2. Budget : RM 2k - 2.5k
3. Usage : Internet and video
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 11 - 14
5. Prefer longer battery life, lightweight and slim.

Btw is HDD + mSATA cache better deal than just purely running on SSD? Because I'm sure performance of hybird (HDD+mSATA) wouldn't be as bad as just running one HDD 5400rpm right?

Second thing, if the slim factor doesn't have RJ45 LAN PORT, will a normal USB > LAN dongle work perfectly and stable? Because there are times I need LAN port for router setting adjustment.

Thank you

How about these?
11.6"
Acer
P3-131-21292G06, Pentium 2129Y + Intel HD + 60GB SSD + (1366x768 IPS;touch)@RM1799, 2GB, W8
P3-171-3322Y2G06, i3-3322y + Intel HD + 60GB SSD + (1366x768 IPS;touch)@RM1999, 2GB, W8

Lenovo
Yoga 11s, i3-3229Y + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1366x768, IPS touch)@RM2599, 4GB, W8, 2 years; colors: grey/orange

14"
Toshiba Satellite U940-1001X, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA + 640GB HDD)@RM2349[1.7kg], 4GB, W8SL, backlit keyboard, 3 years local warranty (1st year on-site); color: Light blue

- Full SSD is always better and more consistent. Probably last longer too. But they are of course, more expensive
- The Toshiba has an Ethernet port
*
How about Sony?

Is Hybrid drive good? HDD + mSATA? i enjoy better loading speed and more space storage. Of course will lose to SSD.
