Help me decide

Currently dilemma between this few laptop.

Usage - study for computer science for UNI , very light gaming enough (I think Intel HD 4000 already capable) , coding, programming...
Budget - around 2.3k

1. Vostro 5460 Laptop - RM1899
i5-3230M + 4GB DDR3 + 500GB HDD + Nvidia GeForce GT630M 2GB DDR3 , 1.53KG freedos version
Need buy VGA port + External DVD , maybe leftover budget buy a 64GB Plextor mSATA SSD as boot.
In fact, I like freedos rather than Win8 cause can get-rid of bloatware easily.

2. Vostro 5460 Laptop (Ultrabook) - Rm2199
Same as above, but i5-3337U processor + 32GB mSATA SSD as cache + Genuine Win8
Need buy VGA port + External DVD only.

3. Fujitsu LifeBook A-Series AH532 laptop - RM 2,007.00
i7-3520M + 4GB DDR3 + 500GB HDD + W7HP + 6 cell battery, 2.4kg, 15.6"
Maybe use leftover budget buy a 64GB Plextor mSATA SSD as boot.
[actually I think there is no necessary go for i7, but Rm100 for different class of processor, so made me dilemma]

**No need recommended me laptop other than 3 of them, I already seen it. For HP, I have bad experience with Compaq and poor AMD driver update from HP. For lenovo, I don't care about GPU though

UPDATE: Dell offered me Rm1,839.99 for option 1

Interested to play classical music

Hi all.
I am planning to buy a "stuff" to learn piano... just treat it as a hobby.
I am determined, but I find that its very hard to learn piano using computer keyboard.
I decided to spend my own pocket money, don't want to waste parents money.
I want to start from basic, so no need a professional Yamaha piano.

just wanna ask, cheap keyboard cannot play classical piano music, is it true?
Those song required 88 key piano?
Do you think those keyboard can be used?
I also curious to ask, beside sound quality, hand feel, what is the difference between grand piano and cheap piano?
