Looks like my option only left Asus and MSI since Acer only has 1 USB3 port and Lenovo's battery life is terrible. How is the battery life for Asus and MSI? I'm expecting a battery life of at least 4/5 hours.

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

Not sure if Asus Malaysia release an i7 spec (btw i7 ULV is only duo core) S400CA  hmm.gif
Anyway, the S400CA listed above is very similar to the S300CA listed earlier, only slightly bigger and heavier. It has a small mSATA SSD for caching, which will improve responsiveness a bit, but it's a hit or miss affair.
Personally, unless you really need the big storage all the time, my suggestion for any laptop is to go full SSD if budget allowed (i.e. if laptop come spec with HDD, just grab a SATA SSD aftermarket (256G ~ RM600) and swap out the HDD (normally will not void laptop hardware warranty) to keep as external storage). Reduce weight, improve thermal profile, improve battery running time, improve responsiveness substantially, ....

Errr ..., you want touchscreen?  biggrin.gif

Generally, if you really like touchscreen, please make sure you are totally confident in the strength of the hinge (part holding the screen with the base) for traditional laptop form factor. Nothing more annoying than wobbling screen tongue.gif (That's also why, if the construction is the same, smaller screen size may be more viable for long term abuse as the screen is lighter and won't strain the hinge as much).

Thanks a lot! I'll consider smile.gif

prices are negotiable except for Sony. tried asking at their retailer, but they said the price is fixed for it. for the VGA port, i suggest you buy a HDMI to VGA converter, and that saves you lots of cost. smile.gif

I recently found a laptop Inspiron 14r with

-4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4500U processor (4M Cache, 1.8 GHz, GT750M 2GB)


RM2699 - 1 year warranty.

Adding up three year warranty , the price might shoot up to Y410p price.

Between the dell and lenovo , which tn screen is consider better?

negotiate, negotiate hard. It's easier to negotiate adding RAM, warranty, or bigger battery than reducing price.

Hi there guys.. Need some recommendations here.

1. Preferred Brand : Dell
2. Budget: 2k-2.4k
3. Usage: Assignments (Estate Management), Watch Movies, Casual Photoshopping, Light gaming (RA2, maybe?)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14inch / 15inch

I've narrowed down two of my most probable choices, which are the Dell Inspiron 14R(5437) and 15R (5537).

Both are
-powered by intel i3-4010u haswell
-has Intel 4400HD graphics
-has 6 cell (65Whr) batteries
-has same resolution, 1366x768

But 14R has
-touchscreen
-OS media kit

I've specced both at the dell website and the 15R actually came cheaper at RM2088 compared to 14R which costs RM2477.

Which of the two will be a better buy?
Which of the two will have better battery life?
Is the touchscreen on the 14R really worth it?
The OS media kit, is it a necessity?

Lastly, can i configure my laptop at the Dell Concept store at lowyat plaza? I don't have the confidence of ordering my lappies online

Sorry for the looong post sweat.gif. Your feedback is much appreciated guys, thanks thumbup.gif
