both are quad core.
Main difference is the CPU packaging:
HQ - FCBGA1364 (BGA - ball grid array)
MQ - FCPGA946 (PGA - pin grid array)

Hai everyone

1. Except Asus
2. RM2000-RM2500 (may be willing to add money up until rm3000 if I its worth it)
3. Work - Office, Matlab, Labview, and might also need to use cad/cam software.
Games - Most likely Dota 2.
4. 14"-15.6"

I was on this thread about a month ago asking for advice. Sifu nexus suggested the Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U, Nv 740M, 4GB RAM (RM2059) because my budget was quite tight at that time. But, due to some problem, I couldn't buy any laptop until now with an increase budget

I've been eyeing the Dell mentioned above and also Acer V5-473 since last month. But I still have not decided on which laptop should I buy.

Should I buy either one of those 2, and add RAM, SSD and warranty, or is there any other better options?

Thank you.

Edit: Edit budget.

Thank you so much.

Been thinking the same, Acer V5-473 + RAM + SSD + Warranty, is it possible? How much it will cost us?

From my review so far:

V5-473 = RM2190-Rm2299
RAM = 4GB (~RM100), 8GB (~RM200)
SSD = 128GB (~RM300), 256GB (~RM600)
Warranty = extend to 3 yrs about RRP is RM198 iinm.

usually 128 gb ssd will cost u around rm 369 ( plextor)

good

If we install SSD we need to remove our HDD rite? And then we need to install the OS ourself?

Yeap, that is the plan

I have just read some warranty claim issues from other forumers. Starting to worry if I would get a grey set from US since s410p touch still very new in Malaysia market which is not even shown in Lenovo Malaysia website. Am I worrying too much? :/ If local set must having 2 years warranty?

I think you can check the code on you box. If its end with XXXMY then it is a Malaysia set.

And some model has 1 year and some has 2 years warranty.

If devour, storm88, numbertwo, hikari85 are selling, then get from them. As far as we know, they are all selling official, local units
Can't go wrong with that, deal with confidence~

sifu, is Asus Malaysia setting up some special team to service these "business laptop / ultrabook"?
Don't think corporate market will touch these if still only carry-in warranty

sifu, I just grabbed a 128GB M5S this evening at RM320 (too tired to negotiate or search around in LYP)

HP envy 15 Touchsmart or envy 17 can get below rm3k...check it out!

reasonable, now got Promo get 15 F.O.C 1
