Hi, I'm interested to purchase a laptop and below are my requirements:

1. Preferred Brand: Dell or Lenovo (interested in Lenovo but unable to find direct retailer in MY though)
2. Budget: RM1200 - RM1800
3. Usage: Moderate usage - normal surfing - FB, youtube, ms.office usage, watch DVD/music, no gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14"


Well, I have few questions and hoping to get answers from sifus here:

1. I've found this Inspiron 14With 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i3 processor - 4GB 1 DIMM (4GB x1) DDR3 1600Mhz - 500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive - W7 home premium of RM1599. Is it applicable and able to perform good based on my requiremenst above? Is it good enough?

2. If I order the laptop online via Dell website, anyone can advise what do I have to check upon the laptop delivery?

3. Do I have to install the windows etc on my own or they actually help us installing everything prior delivery?

Seeking for your kind assistance as I have no idea about this at all.

TQ in advance

yup..what i mean is a laptop mainly for internet surfing and does not lag at all when we do minor multitasking..cz ive experieced cheap (below rm1000) laptop or notebook that lags even during start up maybe due to low rams

well if u prefer asus, there's a model that can match the spec of y580

G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP

but given the price of y580 tad cheaper, it's all come down to you, maybe you can go check those model around and compare which suits u best

Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3999[JBL], 8GB, 32GB mSATA + 1TB HDD, W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years warranty

1. Yeah the Inspiron 14 is more than enough for your usage

2. Just try to use it like you normally would i.e. keyboard, screen, speakers, mic, optical drive, touchpad etc. If you found anything wrong, you can always have a 1-to-1 exchange with Dell

3. If you opt for the one with W7HP (not Linux), everything will be installed for you

Yes
But if you're only using the ultrabook for simple office tasks, you won't feel the performance difference

Any netbook will do
This one perhaps?
10.1"
Toshiba NB520-1065/Q/N/G/B, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA3650@RM1049[harman/kardon][1.32kg], colors: brown/Turquoise/copper/lime green/blue

These then
14"
Asus
[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2099[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD
[Ultrabook]S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP
[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX059V, i3-3217U + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD
[Ultrabook]K46CM-WX060V, B987 + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD

This one perhaps?
14"
Lenovo Y480(5934-1372), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2699[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, W7HB, 2 years international warranty

Or any other notebook with an i7

Thanks for the prompt response!

So this Inspiron 14 is not considered as too "outdate" huh? Facing alot of issues with the Vaio CR-323 laptop - windows always "hang/not responding", the overall performance is just bad and I hope I'd get a great performing laptop this round!

Posted a question in the forum earlier but no response received, I notice that there's a small remark behind each price stated for Dell laptops from the website - "GOODS BY DELIVERY ONLY: Delivery charges of between RM20 & RM247 per unit (depending on product type and location) are also payable on all purchases unless otherwise specifically stated. Delivery time for purchased Dell Products are from 9am-6pm, Monday-Friday (excluding public holidays)".

Does it mean there will be additional delivery or other charges besides the price RM1599 quoted? Pls advise.

Hello Guys, i have a problem . So i need you guys expert opinion.

1st of all i want to buy y580 and i have found 2 offer . the problem lies on which offer to choose

1ST OFFER
RM2899
Lenovo Y580

1TB HDD
32 GB SSD
8gb ram ddr3
win7 hp

Model name: 2099


2nd OFFER
RM2788
500GB
4G ram ddr3
Win7hb

Both come with 2 year international warranty. But the dealer of the 2nd offer said that the 1st offer is an ap unit because malaysia dont have
32 GB SSD.


So which offer should i choose.

The INspiron 14 aforementioned is running on an Ivy Bridge processor. Although its not a high end processor, its not weak at all
Don't worry, it will be able to handle all those regular tasks that a normal user will do on a laptop.
You can consider upgrading the HDD to something faster after a few years, especially when the laptop starts to slow down.

As for delivery charges, it is mostly applicable to locations that are pretty isolated. As long as you're staying in or near a city, delivery is free

AP units are not eligible for warranty coverage. SO definitely pick the local Y580
You could always upgrade the HDD yourself in the future if speed is what you're looking for

thx

What keep me wonder is it really an ap unit,
Cuz its coming from other seller.

The seller of my 1st choice telling me tht his unit got
2years international warranty.
Is it true an ap unit come 32ssd?

Local units will have specs like these:
15.6"
Lenovo
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3999[JBL], 8GB, 32GB mSATA + 1TB HDD, W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years warranty

Anything different = AP

Thanks. Does acer aspire v5 with 3rd gen core i5 11' worth buying ? It's cheap , only 1878. Do u reccommend it? Thx.

Its not exactly made for gaming, I would not recommend it for your case.
