As light as it gets thumbup.gif
14"
Dell
Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1899, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell
Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768;touch)@RM2149, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell

Try nego for the 2nd one, it performs better~
But do take note that the WiFi range of the 5470 is pretty poor  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for your recommendation. biggrin.gif

And which vostro do you refer to ?

There's 5 vostro there, and I'd like to check the specs but I don't know which vostro is the best.

Thank you. thumbup.gif

It depends on your budget and usage nod.gif
If your budget is still RM2k, then there's really not much you can pick...
If you are going to use the notebook for a little bit of gaming, then you can only choose those with GT740M graphic card  nod.gif
For you, (assuming no gaming as per your original requirements):
14"
Dell Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768;touch)@RM2049, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, 3-cell

*Price in RRP, negotiable

However, if its for me (assuming no gaming as well), I'll probably go for the cheapest variant
14"
Dell Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1799, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, 3-cell

Then find bro Oscar (https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienware-SalesOscar-tech/216581081751731?fref=ts) to help me throw in an 128GB SSD + replace the weak WiFi card  laugh.gif
But will be overbudget a bit la laugh.gif

Ok. But I guess my sis is not going to play any games. She just need it to surf, so some assignment and some projects. So I guess the 2k suits her. But the processor was just i3 only, does that affect the overall performance ?

And, I want to know which shop sells this model ?

Thanks ! smile.gif

i3 is sufficient for office usage (or student usage presumably).
if you are living at KL, you can go to Digital Mall@PJ or Low Yat.

in Low Yat, try visit C-Zone, Viewnet, Jayacom and PC Zone.

What do you men by sufficient for office usage ? Does that means there's something we can't do on the vostro 5470 ? hmm.gif hmm.gif

Yea, I'm living in PJ. So I guess I'll take a look at lowyat. smile.gif
