Hmm.. if that is the case...

IMHO, if you just want something that is portable, no need for gaming, just purely surf internet etc - go for the laptop...


There's a SG50 Grand Expo held at Singapore EXPO Hall 5B from 7th Aug to 10 Aug 2015:

There's a picture at http://www.harveynorman.com.sg/promotions/sg50-grand-expo.html#SG50GrandExpoFreeVoucher:

Looking at the brochure and your budget, maybe you can go for:

i) Asus Notebook K455LB-WX013H - SGD$1098



If you want something that stays in the house, not bringing out, gaming - go for DIY at Sim Lim Square - you can use moneyface bro's recommendations as a reference....

Good luck~!

Gaming with i3 is enough?

Still sustainable. Of course i5 is a better choice, but i3 + better GPU will provide him more mileage.

Go down tomorrow/day after late morning to avoid possible afternoon crowd.

Buy the WiFi card from Laser then bring down to Tradepac to get all other items and get them assembled. Shouldn't take long if you go down early.
