QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 12 2013, 05:42 PM) Accounting is actually one of those course that punch in lots of numbers, and I think she may want to have the dedicated numpad in a 15" Thanks nexus!! i will copy this for her to consider first~ If she go for 14", then she may need to have a external numpad (Logitech wireless ~ RM80 is very good), otherwise life will really be miserable  For her usage, i3 & HD4000 is more than enough. Anyway, 14" Asus K46CM-WX059V, i3-3217U + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, 4-cell battery, W7HP, OD Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1549 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 4 cell Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + HD 4000@RM1,549[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM1,749 HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b051TU, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS G400s, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1599, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS Prices are RSP, negotiable. Use remaining budget to get RAM (4G stick ~ RM100, 8G stick ~ RM200), extend warranty (Dell, extend to 3 years next business day on site ~ RM250, very good in case laptop broke down during assignment time  ), swap HDD for SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600). 15'' is heavy for gal to carry. so i think 14'' is enough. she just want more stable laptop. her bro just bought acer last few months, alot problems. she totally no idea about laptop, so which 1 u think is more stable (seldom heard of problem)? lenovo is using broadcom wireless card......too weak right.. how about toshiba? thanks~~ |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 13 2013, 01:55 PM) I get the sense you friend is afraid of problems yup... because she totally no idea about this kind of stuff which related laptop/pc. In that case, maybe she should really think about the Dell. They offer on site warranty (go to your friend house to fix problem) on next business day if and when she call in to Dell to report a problem. Actually Broadcom has very good wireless cards in its product range, just that it also sell lots of cheap single channel card that lots of OEM stick inside cheap laptop To ensure the wireless reception is ok, if she opt for Dell, just make sure you friend customise for Intel 2230 (don't take the Dell Wireless )Toshiba is not very competitive at this price point Closest:Satellite S40t-AS107, i3-3227U + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768; touch)@RM1999[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB, W8SL; 2 years local warranty Thanks for your suggestion~~!!  |
