Hi all Sifu... can please recommend me a small small and budget <RM1500 computer for travelling...
I would like to surf net, do ms word, watch video, but do not intend to play games...
How is Aspire AO756, Celeron 877 + Intel HD@RM1149, 2GB, 500GB, W7HB, (+RM50 to 3 years warranty)...
Is there any similar/ better offer available?
Thanks.

Asking on behalf of my friend here... he wants to buy an ultrabook with 15" but not too pricey.
1. Preferred Brand - Any, as long as its reliable.
2. Budget - RM2.5k+
3. Usage - Mostly assignments, watching movies and soon using for autocad
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15"

According to my friend, he mentioned if you wanta run smooth he suggested to get an i7, with 8mb ram and minimun 640 or 7670 for graphics. if wanta do autocad with 3d

Hmm, perhaps you can consider this one for better viewing pleasure?
13"
Lenovo [Ultrabook]S300, Pentium 997 + Intel HD3000 @RM1199[1.8kg], 2GB,500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS; W7HB@RM1399, no ODD, 1 yr warranty

Ultrabooks are not exactly very good for autocad

Although entry-level GPUs do not bring about very significant performance difference to AutoCad performance, its still better to try to go for the most powerful one that you can get for your budget
In which's case, this:
15.6"
Asus N56Vz-S3088V, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2699[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack

Although having an i7 and a good GPU would be even better
14"
Lenovo
Y480(5934-7549), i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M (GDDR5) @RM2599 [JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, freeDOS, 2 yrs warranty, P950 headset
Y480(5934-1372), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2699[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, W7HB, 2 years international warranty

Well cause he insists on lightweight and thin... any more suggestion?

Most people who want something lightweight and thin will not go for a 15.6" notebook
those who do have deep pockets - MBP 15 with retina display.
Ever since Dell decided not to bring in the XPS 15, there are not much lightweight 15" notebooks anymore... at least not for now...
There are upcoming ones though ~

How about the S56?

Yeah, can consider that one
Its not exactly very powerful in terms of CPU performance and battery life is not very good, but still not bad I guess

ok, i've already done research on your recommendation n come this

samsung np350u2b

acer S3-391-32374G34

dell Vostro 3360, i3-2365M + Intel HD3000@RM1859[1.67kg], 4GB, 320GB(5400rpm), W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

dell Vostro 3360, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM2009[1.67kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

vostro is tempting coz can upgrade RAM, acer has xtra 20gb of ssd, samsung with its 12.5"




do you have any other opinion on this?

Just go for the laptop that you like the most?
You could always upgrade the HDD to SSD yourself in the future, so there's not too much of a problem there

can i just plug n play ssd? i thought u need m/board compatible also to detect in bios as ssd

1. Preferred Brand : None
2. Budget: 2k-3k (prefer as little as possible)
3. Usage: Portable, Documentation, Engineering software, Light gaming, Movie
4. Preferred size: 14", 15" if it is not too bulky

Sidenote:
1. Prefer ultrabook as it fits in the usage. But open for suggestion.
2. Prefer reliable and long lasting and future proof. As the laptop user only will change the laptop if it is non-functional.
3. Deadline = 20th December. So upcoming models is strongly recommended.

My own research was narrowed down to HP Envy 4-1053TX.

Recommendations, come at me!

Dec is still a long long way to go, come back then
The ones you surveyed now will be long obsoleted after a month or two
