Laptop in my mind currently, HP Envy-4 with 32gb ssd, lenovo z400.
Are this two laptop is the new model coz i'm thinking to buy the newest model if possible.
Can u help and recommend me please..
Or if there is any other model suited details above
Dell
Vostro 5460, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + (32GB mSATA SSD + 500GB(5400rpm))@RM2199[1.54kg], 4GB, W8SL, 3 cell
HP
Envy4-1204TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M + 32GB mSATA +500GB(5400rpm)@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, W8
Envy4-1238TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M@RM2099[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8
Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty
Envy 4 line up has been quite a while, HP update the specs from time to time.
If you go for HP, I suggest you take the 1238TX, then swap out the HDD for a SSD (128G ~ RM300+/-). Give you much better user experience vs the 1204TX stock spec.
Z400 is quite new. But it is not an ultrabook, even it is thin. The i5 M CPU plus the small battery won't give you good battery performance.
If you go for the Dell, extend warranty to 3 years on site (~ RM250).
If you intend to game on any of these models, make sure you get good external cooling solution (eg. cooling pad, table fan ...).
Prices are RSP, negotiable.
