Hey man, good to know that the recommended notebooks are doing fine

Can consider these:
14"
Asus X401A-091/092/093R, B820 + Intel HD3000@RM1299[1.85kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/white/green; 1 year warranty
*Upgrade to at least 4GB RAM

Dell
Inspiron 14-3421, B997 + Intel HD@RM1199[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell

*Upgrade to at least 4GB RAM, extend warranty to 3 years (will be useful since this is a budget notebook)

Lenovo
G400s, Pentium 2020 + Intel HD@RM1349, 4GB, 500GB, W8
G400s, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1299, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS; W8@RM1499
*
thanks, have a question, the performance between the i3 and the Pentiums and AMDs big difference or not? totally clueless about laptop processors. Looking at the Dell and Asus ones. I think I'll avoid Lenovo since the 2 laptops I bought had problems with the GPU and had to change motherboard.
