Hi,

I'll be buying a new laptop soon and hope to get some recommendation

1. Preferred Brand : Any as long as it's worth it
2. Budget : Less than 1.5k
3. Usage : General office task and movies (sometimes HD movies)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : as long as the dimension feels comfortable for movies

Hope I'm not asking too much for the price. Thanks in advance!

Nope, you are not asking too much for the price haha~
Can consider these:
14"

HP
Pavilion G4-2110TU, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1599, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
[Ultrabook] Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b010TU, B987 + Intel HD@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8
[Ultrabook] Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b051TU, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

Lenovo
G480, i3-2348M + Intel HD3000@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS; W8@RM1499
G480, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

All these are good enough for your usage, its just a matter of design preference now haha~

Thanks for the prompt reply from many sifus. I tried lookup for more information for the laptops but I have some questions.

Dell New Inspiron 15
Dell Inspiron 14

In the 2 links above, I'm comparing the RM1399 15' laptop with the RM1299 14' unit. I'm just curious how come the 15' unit just cost extra RM100 compared to the 14' unit with a slightly better processor, extra 2gb RAM and extra W8 OS or is there any hidden information that I missed out?

Also I would like to know is touch screen feature useful and worth the price for W8 cause I have no experience with W8 yet. If so can sifu pls recommend me some budget laptops with the feature?

Hope that I can get some advice on these. Thanks!

Hi I was looking at the Dell 14z series at Dell 14z webpage and the reviews there are considerably extreme as some are really satisfied with it and some totally disgust it. Would like to get some opinion from the many sifus here. Thanks in advance!

1. Brand - Any brand with decent warranty
2. Budget - Below 1.5k
3. Usage - Microsoft Office and movies
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - about 14" and above

Just want to know which is the BEST laptop that I can get with this price?
