Hello pips! I plan to buy a laptop this month.

My budget between rm2.2k and 2.5k, and I gona bring it to overseas next year.
I use it to do basic tasks like word processing, watch muvies, listen songs, and web surf.

I dont have a particular brand now, but I narrowd it to the following 5s (NOT in order); Asus, Lenovo, HP, Acer & Dell.
Which brand & model do ya recommend? I guess my tasks are preety basic/normal and I am kinda tight on budget (I rather buy now in MY instead of at overseas, bcos itz cheaper here )

I got a few more questions:
1. Do the mentiond brands give me international warranty?

2. What add-ons/accesories you recommend? I thinkd of buying an external/portable HDD.

3. Izit wise 2wait after PC fair 2buy it? I read sum forumers claimd pips @ KL PC fair offer very attractive prices for lappies (eg. 3rd/last day of d fair).

I prefer a standalone vid card (I not into gaming, quit it long time ago ), and extra RAM (3gbs?).
I know not much bout lappies, I hope ya all experts can help/guide me la. Thank you!
