1. Preferred Brand: Dell or Asus(Or if there's any better and cheaper brand than both of these, please suggest. The reason why I might be choosing DELL is because of its warranty services. On the ASUS side, because they produce quite a few top notch laptop.)
2. Budget: RM3000 to RM3200 or below 3. Usage: Business + Some light AutoCAD designing 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14' or 15' One last thing, since I'm going to use this laptop for some light AutoCAD designing, is 4GB or RAM enough to handle everything? Or should I just go with 8GB? Plus, I am planning to use this laptop up to 4.5 years or more. Also, I will bring this laptop around with me as I'm going to meet some customers and do some live presentation. So, any feedback will be very much appreciated. Thank you! This post has been edited by JkzsBlog: Mar 10 2014, 05:15 PM |

Yeah, the storage is upgradeable As for the Asus, can consider this: 14" Asus PRO45VJ-V0047X, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2399[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB, W7P K451LB-WX071H, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199, 4GB, 750GB, W8 Or this if you can fork out a little bit more: BU400VC-C3086G, i5-3337U + Nvidia NVS5200 Optimus + 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD@RM3599[1.64kg], 4GB, W8P *Prices in RRP, negotiable. However, do take note that Asus Malaysia's after sales service is not good |
