Have some doubts on some models in the catalog
Some of them do not have SSD but labelled as 'Ultrabook'

'Qualified' to be?

For instance,

[Ultrabook] Envy4-1238TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M@RM2099[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

There's no SSD and this is called "Sleekbook" in HP website

Actually, I love this model precisely because it don't have a stock SSD from HP laugh.gif
Most 14" ultrabook come with a mSATA SSD + SATA HDD combination. Not ideal in term of responsiveness.
This baby just give us the HDD, save cost by omitting the mSATA SSD.

Envy4-1204TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M + 32GB mSATA +500GB(5400rpm)@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W8
Envy4-1238TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M@RM2099[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

If you look at these two models, the 1238TX save RM300 by omitting the mSATA SSD (more or less). But RM300 can actually get us a 128G SATA SSDĀ  So owner could buy a full SATA SSD, swap with the HDD (keep it as external or trade in), and get a much more responsive, lighter, longer battery performance, cooler running ultrabook

Yea, the definition of Ultrabook is ... I dun care actually, lol

Good point thumbup.gif
But I already have 250GB and 500GB hardisk on hand doh.gif

Hi Guys,

Lenovo
S400 59346610 RM1,449
S400 59346442/43 RM1,699
G480 59356426 RM1,749

Toshiba
U840-1009X RM1,799
U840-1008X RM2,199
U940-1001X RM2,499

Which one better, more valuable?
Any recommendation?

Toshiba having lighter weight but price ... slightly over 2K sad.gif
If taking out the weight as consideration, G480 looks the best
