1. Preferred brand : Any
2. Budget : RM2000 max
3. Usage : digital painting/coding, with occasional light gaming(don't think this really matters)
4. Screen Size : Preferably 13" or above Must have good screen (IPS?)
5. video card : Anything will do
6. dvd\cd tray: Nice to have but not necessary
7. RAM : 8GB

Will go to uni for comp. sci course this year, would like to know what good options are available out there. I was planning to get a 2nd hand Thinkpad but it's quite hard to find one with good screen.

Alternatively, should I get a MiniATX case for my PC instead? If that's the case I will upgrade the CPU and monitor too but I'm afraid it's too much of a hassle to bring a PC to uni. I do have a slow laptop (Pentium Sandy Bridge) which might be ok for coding but struggles to run digital painting software.
