sorry for asking here, if i want to buy dell laptop, which is better to buy from? Is it from the official dell website or from the reseller from lyn?
thanks in advance

Hi guys

Please recommend ultra portables 14"-15.x" with full sized keyboard.

For ACAD, MS office etc

Preferably with SSD for system and < 2kg weight.

TQ

15" will not be < 2kg.
14" normally don't have "full sized keyboard" (I supposed you mean keyboard with dedicated numpad), except certain Fujitsu models.

Dell website - If ready stock, deliver to you within 3-4 days. If need to build, could take a couple of weeks. Can pay by credit card, no extra charge. Need to negotiate to get discount from RSP using dell online chat. Can extend / upgrade warranty during customise stage. Can customise (but options have been reduced substantially in Malaysia). Have full range of models.

Resellers - Normally ready stock, don't need to wait. Payment by credit card is based on re-sellers' own policy. Normally already lower than RSP (but no harm negotiate a bit ). If you want to extend / upgrade warranty, have to ask re-sellers to help you (or you could directly) contact Dell, make sure you do it immediately or the extension cost may be quite different. Cannot customise (any customisation is after-market). May not have all the ranges. Need to make sure you get fully sealed brand new set (not display / refurbished set, unless you specially ask for those to get more discount).

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

iinm, Acer Malaysia has not refreshed Aspire V3 with Haswell spec, so you are probably looking at some old stocks.
Which spec? The link you provided did not mention anything.

Dell
Inspiron 14-3437, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1399[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1549
Inspiron 14, i3-4010U + Nvidia GT720M @RM1749[1.99kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, 4-cell

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
Make sure you get the 6-cell battery (not the 4-cell), then battery run time will be quite good.
GT720M will give better performance for Dota, but if you turn down the details, Dota is playable with Intel HD4400 (anyway, concentrate on making money rather than playing game )
Extend warranty to 3 years on site for ~ RM250. Dell Malaysia has the best warranty support currently.

I thought on the first page of LYN, there are price list from quite a few re-sellers at LYP (cycom, jayacom, czone, startec, thundermatch, viewnet, allit) they list down quite a lot of SSD models.
Personally I only buy SSD from Intel, Samsung, Plextor, Crucial (no particular order).
You can try looking for Plextor M5S, there is (was) a promotion (buy 5 get 1 free, i think, from Plextor to re-sellers), 128G is (was) RM320, 256G is (was) RM570 (from Jayacom, iinm).

he was concern about the -] mark that i made before this. i stated 128GB and 256GB were priced at about RM300+/- and RM600+/- respectively, which resembles around the price of it.

Hey guys, I am looking at both very similar laptop

Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699

Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Linux, 65WHr; W8SL@RM2699

Both having same price, same CPU, same Ram, same HDD, the only noticeable diff are 14" 15.6" and diff GPU,

Generally I have no problem with both 14 or 15.6, so just wondering which graphic card is better? I did some research and most of the people said it is same.Thanks

I thought can run Windows via BootCamp? Anyway gaming not my main concern, graphics work is but of course I want to be able to play games if I find something good to play Mac is over my budget I know but they've great customer service, less problems and durability although I'm not sure how stable to run Windows on it Still considering what to get
