Thanks for your reply. Perhaps laptop with SSD is better as she always complain her current few years old Dell being slow. And laptop with great bright screen. Budget up to 3-6k should be alright. Thanks again. This post has been edited by ntdote: Nov 11 2013, 11:41 AM |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Nov 11 2013, 12:24 PM) Most of 15" are over-powered for her usage: If change to SSD, it will void warranty according to Dell rep as below conv.Apple MacBookPro 15" (Retina Display), i7-4750HQ + Intel Iris Pro 5200 + 256GB SSD + (2880x1800)@RM6499[2.02kg], 8GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX Dell XPS 15, i5-4200H + Intel HD 4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)+ (1920x1080; Touch)@RM4999 [2.0kg], 8GB, W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 61Whr (talk / chat with Dell rep and tell them you want full SSD) won't she consider something smaller like 13"? Apple MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 128GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3299[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4258U + Intel Iris 5100 + 128GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM4199[1.57kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX Dell XPS13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080)@RM3999[1.36kg], 8GB, W8, backlit (could probably get good discount since this is being phased out, to be replaced by new XPS 13 model next month) Sony Vaio SVP13213SGS, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080)@RM3799[1.06kg], 4GB, W8SL Prices are RSP, negotiable. Alternatively, you can stick with these. They are solid, and look elegant, with good screen (the FHD has better screen panel). Upgrade SSD aftermarket yourself (SSD 128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600), will not void hardware warranty, (or just talk to Dell and ask them for SSD spec).
