If you can up your budget abit, then the MBA11 can be considered as well, even so if you are student (buy at discounted price)

Yes, FreeDOS means that it doesn't come with Windows and you'll have to install yourself. Not really recommended if you are inexperienced

How about these?

Perhaps add in a Sony too, though they are not very slim, but girls love'em

*Prices in RRP
Personally I would recommend the Dell Inspiron 14 7000- its a premium notebook for its price although its not super slim like the others~ can look for bro putochip123, he sells cheaper than RM2.5k last I checked~

Two Mac alternatives for you mate

Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
Do contact bro putochip123 if you are interested in the Dell, his prices and services are good

HP for sure not comfortable with, cause my HP had so many problems -.-. dell seems nice, especially with the Msata. is the ASUS A450LC good?

and she does like the sony

Its not really fair to judge the entire brand based on one notebook you have la haha
Still, the choice is up to you~

Wouldn't really recommend Asus due to the bad warranty support in Malaysia: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...us+bad+warranty
If you really get one, have to pray that it doesn't spoil at all

1. Preferred Brand: Don't have preference.
2. Budget: around RM1500 or lower
3. Usage: Online, Microsoft Office and playing video. Prefer to use Windows 8 with touchscreen (gedikkk)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14"

Thank you.
