If budget allow, extend warranty to 3 years. (Which category Essential, Basic or Premium) I extend for Basic 3 years any different? Thank you

For Dell Inspiron laptop:
Essential - NBD on site service after remote diagnosis.
Basic - Essential + cover accidental damage (pour the whole can of coke on the laptop keyboard, drop the laptop onto the floor, leave laptop on bed and son jump on it, electric surge .... Dell will fix it no question ask )
Premium - Basic + software support (don't need lah )

Basic is almost double the price of Essential (and you should see why).
Go for the longest period possible (you want at least minimum cover over long period; rather than max protection over short period then no protection in the longer run). Then if you think you are really "kelam kabut" kind of person, opt for Basic.

Please note for XPS or Alienware line, Essential / Basic / Premium mean different thing (all include NBD on site, cover accidental damage, software support, just different length of period).

Thx all sifus

These deals are for those who are already planning to get those notebooks haha

Perhaps the Z500 touch?
15.6"
Lenovo Z500 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT645M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2249, 4GB, 1TB, W8; backlit, 2 years warranty


But I think you are going to have to wait a bit for this one since its still fairly new. And do double-check on the pricing as well since its a bit "too" cheap for the specifications

I need some help :/ Totally blank about laptops

1. brands- no acer or dell others are okay
2.budget - 2k - 2.5k
3. usage - web browsing, watching movie online, coursework, skyping, micrsoft word
4. sizes- about 14 inches
5. others- long lifespan , not too fragile, daily use for long hours


Thanks all you sifu out there for your help

Some 14" "ultrabook" for you:
Whether the laptop has long lifespan, well it depend on luck (every brand has lemon unit) and how you take good care of it
If you plan to use laptop for long hours, make sure you have good external cooling solution (cooling pad ~ RM80, table fan ... )

Thank you for your fast reply
Really appreaciate it
I will do my research on the following laptops you suggested )
My load has been lifted hahahha:D

But will the increase of screen size increase the other properties like thickness and all???

True, but based on your choices you are already considering 15.6" notebooks ins the 1st place right?
S56 and S550CM are both 15.6" notebooks, same size as the Z500~

hmm...den i shall wait for a review for the z500 =)
Thank You sifu!!!!
