Hai everyone  biggrin.gif

1. Except Asus  tongue.gif
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  rclxm9.gif

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.  smile.gif

Edit: Edit budget.

Hi, i'm looking for a laptop that suits my needs in the future. I'm coming from a laptop that is very bulky, hot and very power consuming (i7 with graphics card)

What i'm looking for here is a laptop that is light and has a long battery life. In other words, portability and stamina is my highest priority, but I wouldn't go anywhere lower than 13", best if 14".

I prefer Asus and HP. And has no budget limitations but keep the prices reasonable.

In a nutshell: Light, slim, lasts long with a single charge while having the least compromise in performance.

Any recommendations for me?

Hi all, I'm looking for a laptop as detailed below:

1. Preferred Brand: Dell, Asus, HP or Toshiba
2. Budget: Around RM2.5k. Max is 3k
3. Usage: Mostly work, emails, documents, excel, Internet surfing and occasionally to watch movies. Something with a decent graphic card.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Since I'm using it for work, I need something not too bulky. Around 15" screen would do.

A must for me is that windows 7 be installed on the laptop. I don't intend to use windows 8 yet.

Any recommendations? smile.gif

But the Asus looks so much nicer and the backlit keyboard is attractive. I might wait for Haswell to come to the UX31A

Are Mac OS X more power efficient as compared to Windows 8?

Thanks for your recommendation.
However, I am trying to look for a package that has Windows 7 installed.

Any recommendations? As I see the one that you recommend above is running Windows 8 instead of 7.
*
win7 is old version...very hard to find..unless u install urself...or some seller install pirated one into that laptop...
only configure item like Dell provide selection windows 7 or win 8..other brand pre-installed win 8...
