1. Preferred Brand - [Ultrabook] Dell, Asus, Samsung, Toshiba
2. Budget - Below RM4500,
3. Usage - Office work, Software simulations
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - Quite powerful, screen size - 13"/14"

My mom has a budget allocated for her to buy a new laptop and she really prefers the ultrabooks. She's gonna use it mostly for office works & some software simulations. No gaming (duhh) & doesn't really mind about the audio/speaker.

Can someone please recommend some options for me? Thank you in advance.

Hi, need help for buy a new laptop

Preferred brand: Any except Acer
Budget: Around RM2000 - 2300
Usage: Heavy download, movie, surf, photo edit, gaming (NBA or Facebook game etc)
Screen size: 15

Kindly please help recommend. Thanks in advance

thks for the recommendation sifu, but can also recommend where i can get it on site in kl?

Ultrabooks are usually not equipped with powerful processors yo
Still, can consider this one:
13"
Dell [Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399[1.36kg], 4GB, W8, backlit
*Price in RRp, negotiable
*use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years complete cover (~RM800)

Otherwise, can consider these:
13"
Lenovo [ultrabook]IdeaPad Yoga 13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399, 4GB, 2 years; colors: grey/orange

14"
Lenovo ThinkPad T430U, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM3799, 4GB, W7P, 3 years on-site warranty

If she prefers something more powerful (but not an ultrabook, then perhaps this one):
14"
ThinkPad Edge E430, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT635M + 16GB mSATA+750GB HDD@RM3399[2.2kg], W7P/W8, 4GB, anti-glare

Perhaps you can deal with "devour" here at LYN if you don't want to go to Digital Mall and Lowyat Plaza to try your luck

The Lenovo Z500 would be a good choice, pretty balanced in terms of performance, weight and also looks:
15.6"
Lenovo Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty

*price in RRP, negotiable; then use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years

Really appreciate the suggestions. Btw, may I know your opinion on Asus Zenbook UX31A-R4005H? Is it any good? Anw, thanks again.

Is Lenovo Ideapad Y500 good for gaming, I am a hard core gamer with a 3 k budget

Its a pretty good machine, provided you are not worried about the poor warranty support by Asus Malaysia

Yes it is, pretty much the only one apart from the MSI GE60k

Never trust technicians They will do anything to get you to buy their stuffs

Either Lenovo Y500/510p or MSI GE60k
15.6"
MSI GE60K, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2899, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, 2 years warranty

though the Y500/510p would still be the better pick because of the stronger CPU and also the potentially better performing GT750M SLI

Thanks

Dear Sifus, kindly recommened some models and my specification as follows :-

Preferred Brand : Toshiba or Dell
Budget : RM 2,500 to 3,200
Usage : Office use, download movies and edit photos
Preferred Laptop Screen Size : 13 inch.

By the way any reliable shops at Low Yat Plaza that I can drop by to look at some models. There are tons of shops there but not sure which are the ones reliable. Thanking all sifus in advance.

thanks masta , a simple answer .. hehe

btw, which better between Y510p single gpu and MSI GE60K from all aspect?

*still waiting for the Y510p .. huhu

yeah, the problem is that the Y510p is still not here yet

If you are only comparing the GPU performance, it depends. If you are into gaming the performance is more or less on par in between the GT750M and the GTX660M.
However, if you are into software support (photoshop, bioinformatics etc.), the GTX660m will offer a better edge~

13"
Dell [Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399[1.36kg], 4GB, W8, backlit

Toshiba Portégé R930-2034, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM3499[1.4kg], W7P/W8P, 4GB, 640GB (7200rpm), 3 years international warranty, Toshiba backpack

*Price in RRP, after bargain will be within your budget
For Toshiba, you might want to wait for awhile since Toshiba is in the midst of refreshing their notebook lineups now...

ok, thanks sifu .. i'm confused right now to make exact decision ..

Anyone know when Lenovo Y510 be release, spec and estimate selling price?

Any big gap price different if get Lenovo Y500 now?

Big thanks to all sifu and seller here...
