1. Preferred Brand : Any, as long as is good
2. Budget: as cheap as possible, preferable less than rm1.5k
3. Usage: only online surfing and presentation. NOT for gaming, I got a gaming laptop myself.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : any, maybe 10 inch.

Main concern is portable light weight, cheap, good casing quality because this laptop/ultrabook/convertible will be travel a lot and I scare if the casing is cheap plastic might get spoiled easily.

1. Brand: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 vs Asus T100
2. Budget: RM1000-RM4000
3. Purpose: Business usage, note taking, presentation power point etc..

After review for several weeks, I have come down to 2 options. One is a laptop replacement Surface Pro 3 and the other one is Asus T100 a lightweight Atom processor.

Description:
-I knew I wanted a laptop for business lightweight usage but at the same time I really can't stand a slow respond system, that's the reason SP3 comes in.
-I already have a gaming laptop so, althought if I purchase SP3, I will not play game on it, because the performance is not on-par. However, recent 3 years, I have no longer playing high graphic games (maybe I'm getting older rolleyes.gif )
-I will bring this laptop around everyday in my bag, the reason I bought this laptop because it's super heavy to move around with my big screen laptop everyday in my bag.
-When in office, I will have power socket, so battery life is not the biggest concern to me as long as it can last for about 3 hours for presentation/out of office.
-I plan to use this "tablet" to watch movie at night occasionally
-I need a system responsive enough not to lag when opening power point, microsoft excel, google chrome, simple extraction. I dislike lagging, my previous experience with HP-mini 110(streamyx free netbook) gave me a nightmare to "atom" processor.

Anyone can make a decision for me?
