Preferred brand: Dell/sony/lenovo
Use for: college assignment/ daily internet use
Budget: 2.4k
Screen size: 14/13.3" with touchscreen 'window 8'

Assuming your college assignments involve only office tasks

Can consider these:

Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 + (1366x768;touch)@RM1988 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 6 cell

Lenovo Z400 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

Sony SVF14217SG, i3-3227U + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB, W8SL; colors:black/white/pink

* prices in RRP, negotiable
* If you are not into gaming, there's no real need for the Nvidia GT740M
I would recommend going for the RM1888/1988 variants of the Dell, and use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years, and get an SSD. That will give you a much larger boost in terms of speed and peace of mind

Aiyo nexus2238 sifu, why you keep spoonfeeding?

TS has a lot of questions to ask i think.

jiant further questions can be ask through PM or open a new topic. the suggestion thread is not for asking/discussing about warranties and questions regarding laptops other than suggestions.

Hai.. Pls help me.. I need to buy new laptop..

1. Any reliable brand.. But I do not prefer HP/Compaq..
2. RM2000++ (lower the better)
3. Office use but I want it to be fast no lagging..
4. I want light laptop as I don't want to carry heavy thing around.. preferably 13" or 14"

Thank you guys...in advance..

EDIT : Forgot to add long lasting battery as I need to do presentation.. juz in case no power plug around.. Currently using company laptop HP Probook 4331.. It was too heavy for me.. lol..

FreeDOS mean you need to get and install OS yourself.

Found this on garage sales from one of the reseller.

Dell Vostro 5460-1245SG

I3-3120M / 4GB / 500GB / Intel HD / uBuntu - RM1350 [RM200 off from Dell online]

Seemed pretty decent? Well, at least better than not finding anything
But please do make sure that its not refurbished units ya

now you are planting question in my mind again. How to make sure?

Best way to know is check with Dell the serial number I suppose?

hi,
I would like to know is the quad core only avialble in i7 in the current notebook market (price less than RM3000)?

There are 2 types of i7 for that budget yo
Please follow the format in the 1st page so that we can recommend you better

"If you could not find S410P for example, looking at the S400 is pretty close to get a feel." what you mean is read on review of S400? there is S410P in computer shops here, the only problem is looking for review of it online. i have googling many times already, found only sellers selling this, no any reviews available. can you please give me the link of the review you found online? thanks.
