Use the remaining of your budget to increase RAM (4G stick ~ RM80).

Data analysis as in big Excel spreadsheet? or Statistical software?
If you are doing big job, the more powerful the CPU the better.
But budget is tight, go for i3 or i5 CPU if possible.
Won't find anything like that from Asus or Toshiba

Dell
Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Inspiron 14-3421, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT625M@RM1599[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell;

Lenovo
G480, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

data analysis in spreadsheet only..

Don't think about 15" ultrabook lah Big screen + small battery = not good battery performance.

For AutoCAD, get as powerful a CPU as you can afford.

This, cheapest 15" laptop with i7 that you can find in Malaysia. FreeDOS

Lenovo
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white

Price is RSP, negotiable.

hi thanks for the reply bro ..wanna ask is lenovo service good in msia? efficient? any other model u would recommend?

Lenovo Malaysia warranty support is ok (not the best, but ok) They outsource warranty support to a few parties, personally I will send to SC run by IBM

You want FreeDOS, to run AutoCAD, 15", that Z580 is your best bet. It is the one and only i7 spec 15" model that come FreeDOS, within your budget, iinm.

been browsing the catalogue for a while, looking for a bang for bucks laptop, strictly under rm2200 for both 14" and 15", shoot me some suggestions, don't mind the brand or usage,

it seems like inspiron 15r se is the best is it

Guys how come we cant buy business class laptop from dell malaysia website? and they didn't show any price and customization.

Yeah, its been like that for awhile... the only way you can do it is to chat with their online sales agents, or simply drop them an email saying that you are interested and wait for their response..
Its a pretty stupid move by Dell I would say considering their business notebooks are really good

Hi to all Sifus. Need some help in finding the right Ultrabook to fit my budget and use. Thanks!

1. Asus, Toshiba, Samsung, wouldn't mind Acer if the deal is good
2. RM 3,500+-
3. Surfing, Skype, Some movies, Microsoft Office, Web Apps. No Gaming
4. Best if below 1.3KGs. Screen size at least 13" above

I am going to use it for extensive travelling so I thought SSD hard disk would be safer to transport around.

Online chat or call.
Don't drop email and wait for response. Before my IT bought me the E6430, I main-main left a message to them through its tool. Up to today (4 months and counting), nobody from Dell call me

What do mean by don't mind the usage?
If you travel, you need something light (sacrifice power); if you game, you neeed good GPU.
So nobody can tell you what is "bang for bucks" unless you tell us what you want to use it for

lol, ok then, say the best spec you can get for that budget, just throw in some, and I'll check the review/research further

Only 13" or smaller can satisfy your weight requirement

For all these models, the RAM is fixed (you can't upgrade), and if you want to change SSD to larger capacity in the future, you need to find SSD that fit the slim form factor.

Hi guys ..looking for best buy laptop

1. Preferred Brand - none (good build quality and ok warranty support)
2. Budget - 2 to 2.5K
3. Usage - movie, light gaming, uni study,
4. Preferred screen size - 15.6 inch
please suggest normal type notebook and ultrabook for the same budget ...

thank you people!

It's hard to choose which laptop and not convenience as well
Yeap I heard many of them said the business class laptop have a durability and good quality build.
Anyway,I feel Acer V3 with full hd ips and use remaining money to upgrade SSD will be better choice than Dell Inspiron 15R SE and Y500 right? Plan getting it by tomorrow already excited
lol~I thought Dell Service is the best
Anyway thanks for the reply and the guidance along these posts. I'm now feel like buy the Acer V3 full hd ips and use the remaining money to top up SSD will be better than Dell 15R SE and Y500 right?

Dell New Inspiron 15, i5-3337U + AMD HD7670M@RM1849[2.25kg], Win8SL, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)
Lenovo Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty

IMO, the dell best fit your budget as a 15" ultrabook and use the remaining budge to extend the warranty to 3 years on site.
