I'm looking at Inspiron 7000 14". Is it possible to configure the spec?

Inspiron 14 7000, i7-4500U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768, Touch) @RM3399[2.02kg], 8GB (soldered), , W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD

Would like to upgrade the screen to Full HD (1080p) and dedicated GPU.

Inspiron 14 7000 doesn't offer dedicated GPU.

according to notebookcheck, it is 2 floors away from the router but i think it varies between countries or depends on how good your router antenna is.

I see... 2 floors away seems acceptable to me. Any other notebook with similar spec to the inspiron 7000 that you can recommend? (i7 4th gen, ultrabook, budget RM3500~)

Oh..2 floor away..then that's ok. Well any laptop 2 floor away i don't think there is good wifi reception right?
I was thinking router at ground floor, laptop at 1st floor already got problem.

I see the spec for 7000, its a dual band...what does that means?
*
dual band means you can connect to either the 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ band wifi. 2.4GHZ is the most common wifi band and can be very congested. 5GHZ is less common/congested which should provide more stable wifi. (but you'll need a router that support dualband wifi)

i7 4th gen ultrabook not possible with that budget. the only best option you can get is the Dell Inspiron 14 7000.

the 2 that closest and nearest to your budget :

Lenovo
Yoga 2 pro, i7-4500U + Intel HD4400 + 256GB SSD + (3200x1800 IPS; touch)@RM4199[1.39kg], 8GB, W8.1, 2 yrs

Acer
Aspire S7-392-74504G12, i7-4500U + Intel HD4400 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3999[1.3kg], 4GB, W8.1
*
Manage to identify another model, from HP:-

HP ENVY TouchSmart 14-k118tx Sleekbook (http://h20386.www2.hp.com/MalaysiaStore/BundleDetail.aspx?pdetail=P321908&)

HP ENVY TouchSmart 14-k029tx Sleekbook (http://www8.hp.com/my/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=5399233#!tab=features)


Any comment on the model above? Btw, the dell is it carry-in warranty now and no longer onsite warranty?

its okay if you can bear the weight a little.

Dell is carry-in warranty now? suppose its on-site service after remote diagnosis, which means after you called Dell and a problem is yet to be fixed, Dell will dispatch a technician and service your laptop on-site, no matter where you are.

The quote they gave stated it is carry-in sweat.gif
