I'm back, but this time is with a twist. My budget is not fixed anymore, it's the lower the price the better.
1. Preferred Brand: Any brand that is
reliable and have good customer service/after sales support/warranty. This is very important!
2. Budget: Lower the better.
3. Usage: Student usage, word processing, presentation, watching videos, skype, internet browsing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14"
5. Other requirements: Again, I need it to be
reliable and
lasting. Need to
test before using mainly the keyboard and touchpad to see if it feels right. Also I need a Windows based laptop.
Are laptops with i3-3217U any good ?

IGP will do since not gaming, I've a desktop for that anyway

*extend warranty to 3 years on-site and you will have the best warranty support available in Malaysia
Of course, try not to expect superb quality from budget-line notebooks like the ones above
