Hi guys,I received my dell inspiron 7520 today and not quite satisfy with it.the weight is quite heavy and the lid keep stick those finger print which make it very ugly and dirty

Should I jump ship to Illegear RE-15 or RE-17? or I just upgrade the hdd of the dell inspiron 15R SE to 256GB SSD I dislike the dell maybe because the design I think

My usage will be only programming and general usage.

if you want something light and powerful, go for HP.
if you want something ultrabook sized but high performance, go for lenovo.
if you want an ultrabook, can consider asus.

Lenovo Z400, Core i5-3210M, Nvidia GT740M, RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, 2 years warranty (4-cell)

this is definitely a better deal.

Acer Iconia W700, i3-2375M + Intel HD3000 + 64GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM1999, 4GB, W8; BT keyboard

your tight budget disallowed to purchase most touch enabled laptops. most of them are priced RM2000 and above.

Errr ... didn't you look at the real thing first before you buy it?
Anyway, if you really don't like the design, it is best for you to quickly return the laptop and get money back (14 days from date of invoice, with original packaging) (I am not sure how to tell Dell Malaysia though since I don't have experience in return to Dell using "I don't like the design" line )
As to the RE-15, it is a bit over-kill for programming and general usage but if you like the design and has the budget, by all mean go for it (but make sure you like the design this time )

Hi bosses,

Please suggest to me me with below request:
1. Prefer Lenovo / Dell with i5, 4GB RAM (Any other brand with good service and support can also suggest to me)
2. 1.5k +-
3. General use, microsoft word, excel, internet, youtube, flash games
4. 14"

Thanks in advance!

anything almost similar to this level or laptop S200E Asus


the one acer you gave me is more to tablet.. if want to buy that i rather take surface or note 10.1..

I had test it out before I buy at my local store but it offered a lot of freebies such as monitor,so I attracted with the freebies and go for the wrong step
The Customer Service told me that if I return it within 14 days,it will charge me for RM80 but I think it should be alright,it is better than stuck with this laptop for the following 4-5 years
I think I would like the design of RE-15. It looks cool and heard it has very solid build and very beautiful screen.

The monitor is gifted by Mastercard,so the monitor will be delivery to me after two weeks.IF I requested for the return policy,will the monitor still free for me?

but be note that the processor you have on surface rt and note 10.1 is an ARM processor, which means all x86 x64 based apps are not supported on surface rt and note 10.1. this acer still uses x86 x64 processor and you have the chance to install plenty of programs into it as it is windows 8, not windows RT. so i dont take this acer as a tablet. and some more, you requirements and budget doesnt allow you to get most of the touch screen laptops. 11-12 inch touch screen laptops are very expensive, and you want something practically is lighter. if you can go on with 14", then you can take a look with this :

Acer V5-471G-53334G50, i3-3227U + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768; touch)@RM1899, 4GB, 500GB, W8

Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS
Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell

above these have 2x RAM slots. so you upgrade them upon purchase.
prices are RSP and negotiable.

compare that wish s400 how?

1. Preferred Brand : Asal Bukan Acer
2. Budget: RM2k - can top up but the lesser it is the better la.
3. Usage: Surfing, tengok wayang, light gaming, college use
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14''

RE-15 is definitely more solid than Inspiron 15R SE. On the screen, since RE-15 is customisable, please please make sure you get the screen you like In fact, please make sure you get the proper spec you want for all the customisable components.

On the free monitor, come on lah, common logic tell us there is no free lunch

I would like opt to the 95% gamut screen Yea,after customize,it should be cost up to 4k+

haha yeap sad

By the way,how come the screen of inspiron 7520 so blurish? is it defect or what? I suppose the screen of dell inspiron 7520 should be quite nice also but it look worse than lenovo Y500 a lot.

Lenovo [Ultrabook]S400, i3-2365M + AMD HD7450M@RM1699[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB

it is ok but just without touchscreen.

did you bought the matte screen version or else?

I supposed you mean the FHD screen in 15R SE? I have seen a few, and they seems quite alright.
Being matte screen, it will not be as bright as the glossy screen in Y500, otherwise I don't think it is any worse than the screen in Y500 (in fact, the FHD screen in Y500 really is only so so But FHD in 15" is always nice )
But if you go for the HD screen in 15R SE, that's another story

After some research, planning to get Asus Vivobook.
Would like to know roughly the price for S300 and S400
