Some confusion here bro..

Lenovo website is confusing, http://shopap.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/ide...y500/#techspecs

1. screen reso only stated (1366x768)..some say got DVD drive, some say no. 

2. does swappable ODD means we either can opt for dvd burner or 16gb SSD as per from lenovo website?

No follow latest tech..asking for my bro..

Thx!

yes can

great. im sure the processor also can change (just in case). well, if i want to replace the RAM with an 8gb version, can i use desktop type? sorry, quite new in modding and customizing pc components. 

Hello guys...I want to buy a new laptop...
my budget is 1k max...
only use for word n powerpoint...with music n youtube..surf and other casual stuff...
free dos if possible...
thanks.

I'm a graphic design student. I would like to purchase a good performance laptop (even battery life), so that I can use my 3D & animation softwares/files smoothly.

I will be purchasing a 256GB SSD drive for my laptop as well. So I don't want to buy a laptop which is above RM2500.

Screen size: Any (FHD, if possible)
Preferred Brand: HP, ASUS, FUJITSU, DELL.

Recommendation Please, Thanks.

There are no FHD, performance notebook at RM2.5k. Still, can consider this one. Closest:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

MSI GE60K, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2899, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, 2 years warranty

Both are above my budget. As I mentioned I will be purchasing a 256Gb SSD, replace it with the HDD. For FHD, I mentioned 'if possible' or else without FHD will also do. According to my research I found Dell Inspiron 15R and HP ENVY Series which fits my budget. Would like to know your opinion on these 2 models or is there any other models which are better in less than RM2500?

Thanks.

Hey its you again I remember you   
Welcome back~
For those normal tasks, an ultrabook will do (Z500 is not exactly an ultrabook):
14"

HP [Ultrabook] Envy 4-Ultrabook 4-1035TU, i3-2377M + Intel HD3000 + [32GB mSATA+ 500GB HDD(5400rpm)]@RM2159, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP

*Only recommending the ones with SSD for snappier performance 

Looking for ultrabook for gf...

1. Preferred Brand- any as long as reliable ie not much prob/require to service

2. Budget- around 2-2.5k

3. Usage - mainly basic work ie. words, excel, basic presentation. Some basic photoshop. Main criteria is portability/ Prefer <1.5kg

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13-14? Best balance for size, weight and performance

5. Plus point for nice looking laptop suitable for girl, don't have to be pink la...=P

Tq for the recommendation guys! Appreciate it...

haha, how did u remember me? although this is my 3rd time asking for recommendations.

Hmm..not necessarily need ultrabooks or touchscreen.
And now u just added more choices for me to choose from.. 

Because I recommended you one of your notebooks before? Forgot which one already though since you kept on changing (or changing for your gf) haha
ANyways its good to see you again~

Well, I wasn't recommending any normal notebooks because they are simply overkill for your gf's usage. The ultrabooks may have slower CPU (not that it matters if its only for normal tasks), with mSATA SSD, ultrabooks will still give a faster experience then those normal notebooks with a normal (slow) HDD 
Additionally, ultrabooks are slimmer, lighter, and more good-looking, girls will dig those 

Sorry for missing out your inquiry 
Can consider the ones above. Most of them are pretty good looking, I'm sure your gf will love them 

Yea, i asked here twice before, but 1 for me another for my bro. Not that i keep changing.. haha.
Anyway. are there 15" with msata? since i dont really need ultrabooks.
15" is better for movies right?

guys..
my budget RM4000 max, what i got - intel 330 ssd 120GB

my needs
1. 15 inch
2. a-bit-fast-future-proof gaming rig
3. can tahan for 3-4 years and company still can services the laptop if got problem after 3-4 years (dont mind if need to pay)
4. can hold and maintain high load multimedia (vegas pro,photoshop,after effect,premier pro) and engineering (autocad,solidworks,mathlab) software..
5. can be bulky, NOT an ultrabook
6. dont care the ram coz i'll max it according to the processor 
7. battery life dont need to high,3 hour max if can

im consider 2 option..pls tell me which one u prefer and why

1. y500 i7-3630QM+GT750M SLI+msata 120gb ssd (for OS)+1tb HD (i will sell trade/sell my ssd 120gb to get msata 120gb ssd due to only 1 slot for HD and 1 msata slot)
1.1 might consider Y510p i7-4700MQ+GT750 from ajul (trader for y510p) if can use ext GT750 from y500..can r? or when will y510p SLI come?

2. illegear re-15 i7-4700MQ+GTX765M +1tb HD+ my intel 330 ssd 120GB for OS (coz got 2 slot for HD and 1 msata slot)

The thing is only ultrabooks will have mSATA SSD or SSD as default. If you are getting a normal notebook, you'll have to install one yourself, and of course, not everyone has the technical abilities to do that (including me )
15" in general are better for movies, if the screen resolution in high enough. 1366x768 is not exactly very high for the notebooks you can get with your budget unfortunately. You get more DPI, but it will actually make everything even weirder (as in too large). Large size will mean harder to carry as well.
But if you insist, can consider these:
15.6"
