price is RSP and negotiable.

but you dont have change to negotiate more than RM100.

lenovo after sales service is ok but not as great as dell. not sure about the service center though. 4-cell can last up to 4-5 hours depends on usage and specifications.

they just want to scare you about it. i chat with the sales representative before and i act like stupid and n00b about laptops.

like what [P.F.]TJ said, get a experienced technician to handle it if you dont know how to disassemble.

EDIT : or you can find me if you want to.

it wont be hard. take it as a RAM module.

EDIT : it is not normal if you cant reach 3 hours of battery life. less than RM4000 i can get lenovo Z400, which is better than the 15R SE.

Z400 has no full HD screen. but the new acer v3 does have, even it comes with full HD IPS screen.

like that the dell you got is a better deal. you got lots of freebies + discounts.

not sure about the price. have to ask the sellers about it.

ASUS [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD
Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate
Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty

price is RSP and negotiable. use the remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years.

here you are.

ASUS A55VD-SX520/521/522H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M@RM2149[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: white/blue/red
Lenovo Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT645M @RM2299, 4GB, 1TB, W8; backlit, 2 years warranty (4-cell)
Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white

upgrade the warranty to 3 years if you have extra money. as for ASUS, upgrade the RAM to 4GB. windows 8 require lots of RAM.

Lenovo New Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate
HP [Ultrabook] Envy4-1238TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M@RM2099[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8
ASUS A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

best among budget and specs wise, its the Lenovo Z400.

Z500 and Z800??? lemme help you correct it. its Z500 and Z580.

Z500 features a built-in 4-cell battery (non-removable) while the Z580 features a 6-cell removable battery. from weight measurement, the Z500 (2.2kg) is lighter compared to Z580 (2.65kg). from the laptop size measurement, Z580 measures 14.8" x 9.8" x 1.3" while Z500 measures 14.8" x 10.4" x 1". Z580 features 4 USB ports (2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0) while the Z500 features 3 USB ports (1 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0). majority of the Z580 body is made of plastic with aluminium parts, while the Z500 body majority is aluminium with plastic parts. the Z580 doesnt has a unibody design like the Z500 do.

maybe sound confusing.

i prefer Z580. i want the removable battery feature, which i can bring 3 batteries along when im on a travel.

other than Z580, i will prefer the other one in my siggy, the dell XPS 12. but that costs a bomb.

you are welcome.

just dont forget to register the warranty after buying the laptop, as getting a new stuff is the most exciting moment in everyone's life.

Dell [Ultrabook] XPS12, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080;touch)@RM3999[1.54kg], 8GB, W8, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, build-in battery, no ODD
Lenovo [Ultrabook]IdeaPad Yoga 13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399, 4GB, 2 years; colors: grey/orange
ASUS Taichi, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD@RM3999[1.25kg][Bang & Olufsen], 4GB, dual IPS screens

actually the best choice is the sony vaio duo. if you want a laptop like convertible, the best is dell XPS 12. Lenovo Yoga also not bad, but the negative side is your keyboard will be facing outside but locked in tablet mode. ASUS Taichi has great dual screen technology but terrible screen experience in terms of colour sharpness and vibrance.

price is RSP and negotiable. there is no use even if you extend the RAM to 16GB, except if you are multitasking a lot.

im not sure about acer though but for ASUS, their warranty support is haiz. actually, the lenovo Z400 is pretty slim. they are ultrabook like laptops with consumer line specifications. but the battery performance will be bad compared to other ultrabooks, as it is not an ULV processor.
