Hi all,

Please help me to find a suitable model.

1. Preferred brand : Any
2. Budget : Below 2.5k
3. Usage : normal usage(multi tasking), light gaming
4. Screen Size : below 14"

Preferred to be very light weight(below 2kg) becoz need to keep taking it out for use.
Graphic or no graphic is ok.

Thank you!!

Impossible.

The only good ones close enough for the budget will be:

-Acer Aspire 5 with MX150 2GB = RM 2699
-HP Pavilion 15 with MX150 2GB = RM2899

My advice is either to suck it up to a bigger 15 inch laptop or enjoy a lame-tastic quasi-ultrabook. Not recommended :

-Acer Swift 1 = RM2199 with 128GB ssd, 1.3 kg and 13.3 inch.

It's a pentium, forget fortnight on this one. Half life and 2D games are your games now. Do try to get a 256GB ssd one though, because 128GB is quite limiting.

If you're lucky, you may be able to find a cheap Acer Swift 3 at RM2799, that's even better.

HD620 is the minimum acceptable for gaming these days.

You need to bump up your budget to 3k if you want dGPU for light gaming. What games you play?

You need laptop with good build quality and good battery life too

Actually I can go without GPU, if I can go without GPU, any recommendations for light weight laptop?
