Hey there. Hope you guys could help me out here.
1. Brand: Any brand besides Acer(As I've heard quite a number of negative comments)
2. Price: RM1.3k+-
3. Usage: Web browsing, light gaming like cod/on9 games, and of course watching movies.

Pls do recommend me the most suitable laptop that is bang for buck with my current low budget. Might bump the budget a little if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance.!

Acer has improved quite a bit in terms of build and warranty service smile.gif
The general idea is to judge model by model (of course we tend to remember bad experience laugh.gif )

Acer
E1-432G-29552G50k, Intel 2955U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB, W8 (mention this precisely of the GPU in this price point  icon_rolleyes.gif )

Lenovo
G400s, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1449, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS
G500S, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
The idea is to get a laptop spec with GT720M GPU to run your games.
The i3 in Lenovo G series obviously is more powerful than the Celeron in E1, but the E1 can handle the surfing and movie well enough, and come with OS.
FreeDOS mean you have to get and install OS yourself.

Thanks for the input! Uhm, where do I get laptops that are freeDOS? I normally see them already have an OS when purchasing it. And don't mind me asking, but is it tedious if I were to install the OS myself? Is it just like formatting?
So for about 1.3k+, the best cpu and gpu I could get is i3 and gt720m respectively?
