Hey there,

I'm looking for a laptop to recommend for my elder brother, who will be going to Taiwan next month to study IT. Here's are his requirements:

Preferred brand: Asus, Acer
Budget: Under RM 4000, but he's okay with anything slightly above that.
Usage: He will be studying IT, so maybe he will be using it for programming stuff. Otherwise, he will be only playing LoL (or any eSports titles). He also wanted it to be light and has a good amount of RAM. Upgradability would be a big plus.

So far I have been thinking about recommending the Asus Vivobook S S510U-NBQ174T for him. Are there any other laptops that are potentially better than this one?

Also, my brother told me that laptops made from Taiwanese companies would be easier to claim warranty there. Was he correct?

Update: He wanted at least 8 GB RAM for his laptop. And also just as a note, he will be using his laptop in Taiwan for a long time, so if his laptop broke at that time, he wanted peace of mind for that.
