Already recommended right?

Ya but someone invokes my bittersweet memory....lecturer tak guna...recommend avira yg merosakkan comp ceh

imo budget always can be top up unless stated otherwise... i just proposed the alternatives... for macs the info is nicely presented at the official website where i dont think specs speaks all alone...

for work i still recommend windows laptop...
if just buy a laptop for entertainment / design / video / photography, OSX is not bad also...

the problem with those cheap laptops is too many bloatwares inside... not all of the buyers knows how to remove it properly since some of the bloats is deeply integrated with the system...

Guys recently i have been searching for a laptop that low in weight and high in specs.
This is for both work and gaming purposes. A laptop that fulfills 2 important part of my life.
And after browsing around i found the Razer blade 14".
I am most impressed by its low weight around 1.8kg? With decent specs in terms of processor and graphics.
Though the price tag is a bomb, but i am more worried about the laptop's heating up issue as i looking to use it almost full hours of my daily life. Any of the sifu's here can share some feedback on this laptop?

Er one more thing..is this consider good spec?

2 year warranty

rm2499

good price and good specs no? Or lame one?(for gaming and else)

i will make a pass with razer 14... the cons is really fatal for such price point laptop... unless the screen you getting is different...

Pros: Sexy lightweight chassis; Extremely portable; Excellent graphics and performance; Comfortable fully programmable keyboard; Long battery life
Cons: Runs hot while gaming; Limited viewing angles; Lacks SD card slot
The Verdict: The Razer Blade 14 combines long battery life and excellent graphics performance in a slim and sexy design for a great mobile gaming experience.

Display Quality
It's unfortunate that one of the hallmarks of Windows notebooks seems to be that the vendor can get almost everything right, and then have one massive, gaping flaw. Unfortunately this remains true of the Razer Blade 14-inch as well. While the Blade has incorporated some of the best elements of Apple notebook design, they neglected to include one of the biggest and most important reasons why people will buy MacBooks: display quality.

An Ugly Duckling Display
Razer had to go and ruin the one thing that owners will look at the most. The screen is bright — so bright that you can write a document with the display set to 10% brightness outside on a sunny day. But that exceptional brightness causes washed-out and inaccurate colors, poor black levels, and very low contrast levels. In other words, videos and games look bad, much worse than they should.

Apart from some of the drawbacks mentioned by xproc, you have to worry about warranty support in Malaysia as well. Repairs are done in Singapore.
Powerful but slim notebooks will definitely get hot, its inevitable.

Can consider these as well:
13"

The GPU is not as good as the ones recommended to you earlier

off topic: how to make the @xproc ....

You do like [ and then @name and close it

Well done my padawan

Any recommendations?

Can consider this one:
14"
Lenovo
(1) ThinkPad Edge E430, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM2299[2.2kg], W7P, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), anti-glare
(2) ThinkPad Edge E430, i5-3220M + Intel HD4000@RM2599[2.2kg], W7P/W8, 4GB, 750GB (5400rpm), anti-glare

*Prices in RRP
*For (1), use remaining budget to upgrade the HDD to SSD, and extend warranty to 3 years on-site
For (2), extend warranty to 3 years on-site (don't think can afford a SSD with the remaining budget)

You can also take a look at Dell Vostro and Latitude units as well, preferably the latter. But this one you need to deal directly with Dell for specs and price since they are not readily available

1. Preferred Brand
lenovo or asus
2. Budget
below 2.5k
3. Usage
accounting student - surf the net, assignments, play videos and musics
4. Preferred laptop/screen size
14 inches and below

now looking at asus s400ca, lenovo s410p， want it to be light weight below 1.9kg

1)why asus s300ca same spec with s400ca but more expensive?

2)how's the built quality of s410p? is it using the problematic realtek wifi card? is u series better than s series?

3) should i wait for lenovo u330 or a refreshed version of s400ca with haswell processors?

1. Preferred Brand: Any
2. Budget: 2k
3. Usage: microsoft office, browsing, FIFA
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" / 15.6"

prefer ultrabook/slim because i always need to carry it to work. prefer i5 and with graphic card.
now considering Asus A550C..any other model recommended?

> i7 Processor
> 8GB Memory

Hey man, really long time no see
Err.. what screen size does your friend prefer? 10"? 17"?

Asus K46 are 2kg in weight, so out already

Pretty much Lenovo units here:
14"
Lenovo
S400, i3-2365M + AMD HD7450M@RM1699[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB
S400, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 24GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, W7HB; AMD HD7450M/W8@RM2199
S410p, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768, touch)@RM2399[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8, 2 yrs
S400T, i5-3337U + AMD HD 7450M +(1366x768, touch)@RM2099[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8
S400T, B987 + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768, touch)@RM1499[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
* Try to go for the old S400 with mSATA, its much faster

(1) 13" notebooks are generally more expensive than their 14/15" counterparts, probably because they are harder to make and design; and are less in numbers

(2) Too early to tell, I haven't seen and touched any S410p yet But I don't think they have WiFi issues. That was resolved ever since the S400 afaik.

(3) Buy when you need, wait if you can

Can consider these as well
