Book 9 Lite NP905S3G-K01MY, AMD A6-1450 + AMD HD8250 + 128GB SSD@RM1999[1.58kg], 4GB, W8

If the user know the limitation of this Book 9 Lite, it is a beautiful machine. Due to the SSD, it is responsive. It is good for simple MS Office, surf net, watch video, that kind of thing.
But the CPU is really weak compared to the i5 in the models listed earlier. If your friend do photoshop and lightroom and start doing some heavy effect, that A6-1450 is really about Intel Celeron 1017U (ivy bridge) level.
And the HD8250 is NOT a discrete GPU, it is an IGPU that come with the A6-1450, and its performance is worse than Intel HD4000 (but should be very slightly better than Intel HD3000), so don't expect LOL or Dota2 to run well  laugh.gif
