Thanks for the recommendations smile.gif Are all these Asus models can allow the user to detach the battery? Because I've saw one post here in Lyn that the model K451LB have non-detachable battery. Wouldn't that shortened the battery life when the user want to continue using the notebook even when the battery is low?

Again, can you please do a bit of research yourself? smile.gif

3. Whats the best laptop with gaming GPU at budget 2k?

4. Do you come across any used laptop for sale with good feature and <2k?

5. I saw some lenovo y510p and y410p, they have complain abt the battery

Hi guys, not really know much about computers
I wish to buy a new laptop for my degree architecture study and I hope it can last for at least 3 years?

Preferred Brand : Dell, Asus, Lenovo

Budget: around RM 3k

Usage: for design software such as CAD, photoshop. I don't want it to lag in the midway of my project. Does not overheat too fast. Good battery life is a bonus

Preferred laptop/screen size: > 15''

Preferred specification:
Windows 7 / 8  64bits
Intel i5 or i7
8GB RAM
>500 GB hard drive
good graphic card (not much knowledge of video card)

I know it's hard to find a laptop of such specification with my budget.
You can just tell me the models that suit me even if over budget =)
Thanks for helping!

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
With those CPU and GT740M/GT750M GPU, it should not lag in project. You will still feel lag due to HDD (HDD is the biggest bottleneck of performance), when you have more budget, get SSD to replace the HDD.
Use external cooling, cooling pad, table fan .... make sure laptop dissipate heat. Periodic maintenance to ensure air inlet / outlet is clear of dust, clean the fan / re-apply thermal paste periodically (once a year).
When the discrete GPU don't kick in (just surfing, ... ) these laptop have ok battery runtime (3 - 4 hours), if GPU kick in you are lucky to get 30 min smile.gif
Anyway, the Inspiron 15 7000 and 15R have the best battery runtime among the models listed (5-6 hours surfing).
If a model standard spec is only 4GB RAM, you can increase after-market to 8GB RAM (4GB stick ~ RM100).

Nobody can tell you how long a laptop will last.

You want an i7 quad CPU with AMD GPU?
Nothing within your budget in Malaysia.

What is "ultra series"?
Do you mean ultrabook?

If you want laptop with that "ultrabook" sticker, you will have very limited choices with your budget.
If what you look for is just thin and light, then:

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15.6" or 17"

That A6 is about Intel Celeron level. Should be enough for your sis usage. The SSD will help a lot in responsiveness.

Any other brands besides these two? I am not particularly familiar with the MSI and I will never touch a Lenovo with even a 10 feet pole, ugly as fk!

If you want exactly the same type of spec within your budget, then those are the only 2 I know.
