Thank you for your reply.. but can u suggest me one or two more model so i can compare. i'm willing to sacrifice the full HD since there is only one model with it.

If omitting FullHD, then pretty much any ultrabook will do

based on reviews, the Samsung SSD in the XPS 13 is the fastest among the lot

Thanks bro.. really appreciate it.. time for research..

if going to choose which can tahan lama..XDDD

...whether a laptop lasts long or not depends very much on a little bit of luck (same goes to all electronic devices), and mostly on how well you take care of your laptop
Unless if its a business notebook, its very hard to tell which one will last longer, in which's case the warranty support would be a more important point for consideration

becoz i heard some ppl say businees laptop will more tahan. v480 also can say is business laptop..XD
this v480 is old model?

Nah, it may be running on W7P but it does not feature most of the "specs" that other business notebooks offer
Its more like a "hybrid" machine, leaning more towards a consumer laptop

erm... and it got alumirium casing...XDD
for the z480 price only rm 2299... not rm 2399.. you can update the price..XDD

I guess matte surface and screen would be more important than having an aluminium casing for a business-based notebook?
Some other guy just updated me that it is RM2399
Just changed from 2299 to 2399

today i go 1 shop they say rm2299.
still confusing which to choose...
too many option...

All sifu here, please help me. I'm looking for an ultrabook on business purpose and a little light gaming. Now my option is

1. HP envy spectre xt/ 14
2. Asus Zenbook ( but saw some bad review from net about the touchpad)
3. Dell XPS 13


Guys, please advise me. Thanks. Budget around RM3k +

I guess which one to choose depends on your definition of "light gaming". Your "light" might not be my interpretation of "light"

Personally I would prefer the XPS13 more because of the much better and comfortable keyboard, carbon-fibre built and also non-glossiness design (apart from the screen, of course ) which are good features to have on a ultrabook used for business (and at the same time not too ugly) haha
But it runs on an Intel HD3000 iGPU, so don't expect too much gaming from the XPS 13...
You can consider the relatively cheaper HP Folio 13 as well, its sort of similar to the XPS13:

The ZenBook UX32vd would be better if you're looking into playing some relatively more "hardcore" games But that's about it... the touchpad is not as good as that of the XPS13 and personally I feel that it'll be a bit too flashy for a business notebook

Other ultrabooks capable of relatively better gaming performance:

SIFU, A BIG THANKS TO YOU. You are quite aggressive at here.
Well, I'm personally quite like the design of HP Envy Spectre XD instead of Dell XPS 13 because looks more elegant and classy. Unfortunately, Dell XPS 13 it's kinda HOT as seen all good review from forum. Meanwhile, Zenbook is quite expensive btw.

SIFU, how you comment about HP Envy Spectre?

To all sifus,

No preferred brand

Budget RM1800 max

14 inch

For sister use, mainly multitasking like multiple tab of facebook chat+ listen music+ typing words+ web google... Is Intel® Core™ i3-2365M Processor - 1.4GHz, sufficient to handle these tasks?? No gaming


I was thinking about lenovo s400 with i3-2365. Any other options???

Weight is a non main factor but if lightweight is plus point

Hai Guy, got any budjet laptop around 1k???

Budjet : 1k
Usage : Searching Internet/ Youtube - Any Light Game (From Facebook)
Size & Brand : Any, as long good enof ..

any recommendation, many thanks ~~ ...

Yeah the i3-2365M would be able to handle those just fine
Some other alternatives:

[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1599[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10, *no VGA port, OD

These are running on IB ULV-processors, which are faster than the SB ones

I would avoid recommending netbooks as those are really a bit too small for most people.
Can consider these:

No problem man
well, the thing about ultrabooks is that almost all of them will run hot because of the slim design which reduces effective airflow... its unavoidable, hence manufacturers charge an unavoidable higher warranty price for ultrabooks.

As for the Envy, it will run hot as well, and its a fingerprint magnet despite its awesome looks LOL... My past experience with glossy laptops (Qosmio F60 and Satellite M500) has really turned me off against glossiness XD

here's a review on the unit (spec may differ): http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/hp...14-spectre.aspx
