Hi guys,

1. Preferred Brand - Any except Asus
2. Budget - 2.5k
3. Usage - Office work, movies, casual gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14"-15", light preffereable

Need suggestion to decide between this laptop
lenovo z500 or toshiba satellite u940
did compare the price almost the same and u940 got 32gb ssd+640gb sata compare to z500 1tb sata hdd
really confusing to choose or is there any other laptop within the same range of price and performance that u guys can recommend..

Tough question
This?
11.6"
Acer Iconia W511, Intel Z2760 + Intel GMA + 64GB SSD + (1366x768 IPS; touch)@RM2399[580g], 2GB, 3G, W8, keyboard dock, 1 year

The Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro in Singapore has 3G as well, not sure whether ours are updated with it

If you prefer a light notebook, then the U940 is definitely the better pick here
15 inchers are pretty bulky to bring about, even when some of them are quite slim

I'm planning to buy a laptop for my gf.
She is a movie/anime junky and plays a lot of casual games.
Ocassionally will use it for powerpoint presentations.
Most of the time will be internet surfing and streaming.

1. Preferred Brand - any good ones, girly designs and nice looking ones.
2. Budget - 1k - 2k
3. Usage - multimedia, internet, office use
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15" above

thanks

Hi guys, need some recommendation for a laptop that I'm looking to purchase.

1. Preferred Brand - Any Brand, but preferable with good warranty / support
2. Budget - 3k - 3.5k
3. Usage - Office work (Primary), Movies and surfing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - ~14"-15"

I would prefer to have touchscreen and also an optical drive.

Any ideas / recommendations?

Hi, need some expert recommendations here also

1. Preferred Brand - any except hp
2. Budget - 2.5k - 3.2k
3. Usage - mosty high-end gaming, photoshop, also programming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 or 15.6

been eyeing on lenovo y400 for its gt650 graphic card, but the stores I went don't have stock (and promoting other models instead). one model, an acer i think, is using gt730 so im not sure if its good.

thanks

Which one is better depends on what you plan to use the ultrabooks for, which is why we have a format to follow at the 1st page
Both are ultrabooks, so they will get hot when on load as compared to normal notebooks

Are you sure you would one to get a 15" notebook (and above summore) for a girl? They are bulky and heavy yo
Regardless, there are no slim and light 15" notebooks here in Malaysia within your budget unfortunately...
Perhaps 14" would be better picks? As follows:
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX059V, i3-3217U + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD

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

Lenovo [Ultrabook]S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199

Toshiba [Ultrabook] Satellite U840-1009X, i3-3217M + AMD HD7550M + (32GB mSATA + 500GB HDD)@RM1899[1.7kg], 4GB, W8P; backlit keyboard

There are not really a lot of touchscreen notebooks at the moment:
14"
Acer V5-471PG, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT710M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB, W8

Asus VivoBook S400CA-CA006H, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB + (1366x768; touch)@RM2299[2kg], 4GB, W8

Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT730M + (1366x768;touch)@RM2099[2.33kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8@RM2399

HP [Ultrabook] Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4-1239TU, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768; touch)@RM2799[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W8

Prices in RRP, negotiable~
Dell and HP offers better warranty support among this options You can use the remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years

If having a better screen for viewing pleasure and photoshop is more important to you, then the Acer would be a great choice for your budget:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8
* use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years

Otherwise, you can try and find Y400 (I still saw one or 2 units some time ago at Digital Mall SS14), or you can simply wait for the upcoming Y400 with GT750M
