1. Any brand

2. Less than RM2000

3. Internet, documents, media playing, maybe casual gaming i.e playing on lowest settings lol

4. No preferred size

I've actually did some homework and narrowed down to:

Acer E1-472G (May not sound fair/solid arguement but many many friends tell me about their poor reliability/build quality)

Asus X550LC (I've read about their nightmare service)

Lenovo S410P (Havent heard anything serious about them)

Anything additional to be shared? smile.gif

Ahaha. Thanks. My bro just bought an Illegear too. Awesome offers theyre having on the site!

Apart from the Illegear, where do I get these exact models with exact features, yeah? Because some stores just sell what is already with the laptops. They dont really do upgrading stuffs then and there.

Should've just put that under usage in the 1st place man laugh.gif

Get the Lenovo G400s, upgrade RAM to at least 8GB.. that will give you a little bit more in terms of performance nod.gif
However, do take note that this a (very) budget notebook, so don't expect great performance nod.gif

Illegear is all about customizations man, don't think you'll be able to get ready units hmm.gif
Just head to the website, customize, bargain and buy haha, not too hard I think? Or you could just contact the resellers here in garage sales, they're all very friendly one icon_rolleyes.gif
