Thanks for your input.

No I'm not seriously looking for a lappy now.
Just browsing.
To my surprise, HP is under my affordable list now.

I notice that in there was a durability test done on the various brands of laptops and HP was dead last!
Asus, Toshiba and Sony were top 3.


So should I consider buying a HP laptop or not?
It looks pretty bad.

I've been using a Sony for 5-6 years now and never ever had any problems with it.
Now I know Sony's are a few hundred bucks more expensive than other brands like Acer, HP, Asus etc but
it seems now I can get something of similar quality in Asus without paying a few hundred premium.

The SquareTrade reliability survey is very outdated already bro

mind asking what's JBL and where did you find this price?

Premium Speakers
Much like those of harman/kardon (Toshiba), Bang & Olufsen (Asus), Skullcandy (Dell), Klipsch (Alienware), Dyaudio (MSI) etc.

Thx, mind telling me where you found this price? Sorry for the inconvinience.

Its official price in Lenovo's brochures?

Alright, thanks for the help

It's okay and thanks for your suggestion! Just search for the ultrabook you suggested and it considered quite good for me. Enough for the specs I wanted.

Budget : 2k or below
Brand : any
Size : 14" or above
Use for movie and games ( diablo 3 )

Thx for the info! Am in a dilemma now...Are the ones on top significantly better than if i get the Lenovo y580 3630qm version, upgrade to 16gb ram, add 128gb SSD, which prob cost less than above? Are the LEnovo warranty voided if i upgrade?
