Hi,

there are just too many different models of laptop in the market. i hope to get some help n recommend me a laptop base on my below specification

processor : intel i5
screen : 14"
HDMI : yes
ram : expandable to 6-8gb ram (plan to use win7 64bit)
OS : freeDOS also never mind, i can install OS on my own
HDD : doesn't matter size (preferable can use SSD)
Battery : decent battery life (4 - 6 hours for normal usage)
Graphic : dedicated VGA card (ATI or geforce doesnt matter)
DVDROM : yes
Price range : below RM2,500

I'm not even sure with my above requirement if below 2,500 is possible. But i'm open for suggestion and recommendation.

Can consider these:
14"
Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

*The Y400 is one of the best budget gaming machines on the market, comes with i7 though
* Prices in RRP, negotiable
*6 hours battery life might be pushing it laugh.gif

Try to bargain for this one:
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX060V, B987 + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD; 2 years international warranty

Other cheaper Asus notebooks have only 1 year international warranty (which makes it similar to notebooks from all other brands)

As for Lenovo, the warranty is not fully international, better check and see whether the warranty covers the area you are going to 1st prior to purchase nod.gif

Lenovo
G400s, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1599, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Not really business, I edited my post a bit, because is mainly usage at mentioned over there, surfing internet wifi because outdoor mostly like at kopitiam or starbuck area, and then light video streaming like watching some short 5-10min video or maybe youtube, then mostly work on microsoft office like word or powerpoint, do some email, so that is why Battery last long and Weight must be light enough like ultrabook type to carry or run around.

Previously bought one Asus S400CA for my friend, but before thought of getting the same one, must ask all the SiFu around here for other choice. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
