Guys, looking for a laptop before GST comes in. Using it for some web browsing, watching movies, and some work using Excel. Would prefer one that has a DVD drive so ASUS sprang to mind since most of their models have one built in. Also prefer a screen that is full HD but if not 720p is still ok. Screen size around 14-17 inches.

These few caught my attention.

Asus A455LD (Red, White, Yellow, Black) – 14” / i5-5200U / 4GB / 1TB / GT820M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2040/-
Asus A555LD-XX206H (RED) : 15.6” / i5-4210U / 4GB O.B / 1TB / GT820M 2GB / W8.1 : RM1940/-
Asus A555LD-XX685H, XX686H (Black, Dark Blue, Red) : 15.6” / i5-5200U / 4GB O.B / 1TB / GT820M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2040/-
Asus A555LD-XX699H, XX700H, XX701H (Red, Gray, White) : 15.6” / i7-4510U / 4GB O.B / 1TB / GT820M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2410/-
Asus A555LJ-XX032H – 15.6 / I5-5200 / 4GB / 1TB / GT920M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2040/-
Asus A550JK-DM138H – 15.6 FHD / i7-4710HQ / 4GB / 1TB / GTX850M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2860/-
Asus X751LDV-TY358H Ultrabook – 17.3” / i5-5200U / 6GB / 1TB / GT820M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2310/-

The last one in particular looks like a good deal no? 17 inch, 6GB RAM, less than RM 2.5k.

Any thoughts people?

dun bother getting i7 processors.
hardly any software uses it. (only few games and illustration/rendering software)
Excel will not utilize it and i5 is preety capable for everyday work these days.

my choice, Asus A555LJ-XX032H – 15.6 / I5-5200 / 4GB / 1TB / GT920M 2GB / W8.1 : RM2040/-
why? (based on work use/portability/battery life) (not based on gaming, rendering, no budget)
- i5 latest gen, graphics latest gen 2gb sommore.
- 15 inch is more portable. unless this will sit at home table never move.
- Full hd is not useful for 15 inch screen as the icons will become smaller.
- w 8.1 can upgrade to 10 for free (T&C applies)
all the seller all building up stock to sell with gst doh.gif
all cheating the buyers, this world people cheat people, then blame govt.

Btw, the top 1 is carrying last year GPU, for the same price as the one i mentioned. whistling.gif
battery life will be significantly different.

Thanks man. I think the screens for Asus are the glossy kind? Since my dad will be taking it out I think a matte screen would be better. Anyway I'll head to Lowyat to have a look.
