I need a laptop mainly for project documentation and some programming. That could last longer like ASUS Zenbook or Macbook Pro(or Air)

Brand: ASUS Only

Budget: Below RM3500

May I ask you that which model that you have given me has the highest perfromance and able to last longer?(which you prefer or long lasting)

Does 3D modeling needs high size on disk?

Asus UX32VD-R3001H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT620M + 24GB mSATA SSD + 500GB HDD@RM3099[1.45kg], 4GB, W8

Asus UX31A-R4005H, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920 x 1080)@RM3599[1.3kg], 4GB, W8
Christmas promotion.. sure less.. who knows..

see this apple:
Apple MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 128GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3299[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

as suggested by sifu nexus2238.. i prefer dell vostro... gt msata ( This drive will be utilized as a cache, which will decrease boot and access times.)

for me.. bigger storage is needed... cz.. the content of the file is quite big too... project + private folder.. of cz need bigger storage..

You should notice all the models I listed earlier are spec with:
i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M
so it means in term of raw power, they are more or less equal.
The reason for that spec is because you seems to want something light

What I prefer? If I were to take a Architecture course, I would have ignored the weight, and get a laptop with i7 quad core, FHD screen (for more workspace), and reasonable GPU (and blow the budget)

Anyway, I can't tell which model listed will last long, since there could be lemon among any models.
If you are worried, aim for good warranty support. Dell Malaysia currently has the best warranty support.
Take the Vostro with mSATA, extend warranty to 3 years. Should give you peace of mind.

Depend on the project size. Anyway, 500GB is more than sufficient for a student

Ok,what if I don't want light mass of laptop?

Any model with FullHD+i5(i think it is enough) <RM3000 & 500~750gb ,4/8gb ram?

Seems like too greedy, forgive me , cause I wish I can buy it once and use for such a long time.

1. Preferred Brand - HP, Lenovo, Acer
2. Budget - around rm 4000
3. Usage - light gaming + paperwork
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13' ,14 "
5, Preferred Laptop kind - ultrabook

thanks

Dear sifus,
My sister requested me to recommend her a laptop + scanner&printer within 1500 to 2000 RM, she is a teacher, so mostly Microsoft office usage and online system data key in. Already asked that she doesn't really need mobility that much, so slightly heavier is okay. Total budget for laptop. Good warranty and tough body/good build quality is great to have (less work for me later, hehe).

1. Preferred Brand - None/Any
2. Budget - RM 1200 to 1800 (<2000 after including scanner/printer)
3. Usage - MS office and online (IE/Chrome)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - Any, >11"

Thank you in advance.

I've searched some information about MSI GE series,is it can only be found at KL MSI store?

Also,is there any 14/15inch for msi?

Sifussss,
I might be in the wrong forum but just wanna ask for Dell Inspiron 14R (5437), original is 500G HDD. Can it be change to 128SSD? If can, will the warrranty void? TQ

Yes, can upgrade after-market.
No, will not void hardware warranty.

You can find re-sellers for MSI laptop right here at LYN garage sales
That GE60-2OC is 15".
14" is this:
GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3499[1.8kg], 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

Gaming series is better?Why don't choose their Workstation series?Is it costs more or worse than G series?

Yes, she can make do with Intel (Haswell) Celeron / Pentium CPU.
Dell Malaysia has the best warranty support currently.

Dell
Inspiron 14-3437, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1399[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1549
Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 @RM1599 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8.1 , 4 cell

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
Extend warranty to 3 years on site for ~ RM250. All in, should be within her budget.

Not everything from MSI is available in Malaysia.
And GT series is out of your budget ( ~ RM5-8k)

thanks nexus for your previous suggestion.

but i do have one last question. 3rd or 4th generation of intel, which one is better for gaming?

thanks again.

hi sifus, i'm looking for laptop with portability and idk.. decent battery..? previously used Asus U41JF for 3 years no problems at all, then i tertolak jatuh bed-height meja, lands horizontally very badly and motherboard prob a little, send to repair sooooo bad service from problem at screen only terus kiok, so sad cause i really loved it, esp the metalic look and slimness

1. Preferred Brand - Asus / Lenovo / (Acer/Dell?)
2. Budget - 2.5k
3. Usage - can quite easily bring about, multimedia, medium gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14", i5 is enough for me i guess, not so thick, decent battery life

i've looked, Asus K46CB, Y410P or S410P and Acer V5-473PG or Dell Vostro 5470 seems fine.. opinions, sifus? thanks in advance
