1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : Any
3. Usage : Intense gaming and multitasking (Final Fantasy 14, Steam's Game- All max setting)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : Tablet + Notebook + As light as possible

I know the number 3. and 4. is abit ridiculous as tablet + notebook build will not yield a good gaming build. However, due to I only can choose to buy either 1 tablet or 1 notebook (not both) and the price doesn't matter, is there currently any on the market? Thank you.

If you want max settings it won't be light.

ya. that looks good. But if i'm not mistaken, it can't be dissemble right the screen and turn it into a tablet based on the video review. Sorry about the trouble cause I really want to get the asus n57jr and another tablet but I was forced to only choose one.

If you want laptop and tablet together and you got the money there is asus transformer trio (if my memory serves me correctly it is RM3,999).

Thank you so much nexus2238. Now I can happily go purchase my new MBA next year. Sometime really feel not so comfortable when making a leap toward a new OS. Especially certain software on Windows I used the most is not available in Mac.

Bro, I got another question, the most identical battery life performance to Macbook Air 13" is Sony Vaio Pro 13" and Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus?

Because currently looking for the Best Battery Life + Ultra Portable, ultrabook/laptop. nod.gif Asking you for opinion which model for the best. Price doesn't matter as long not acceed 4k sweat.gif
*
Note macbook air is not that durable and can easily dent if get hit by something hard due to the aluminium casing which is not as strong as composed plastic but slimmer and lighter.

Another things to note is the thunderbolt port which buying cable from apple distributor maybe be expensive when want to use HDMI or VGA.

This is a video for Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus vs MacBook Air 13"

Hi there. Need to replace my 2 year old Asus U46SV.
https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/U46SV/

Lighter and better than this.

1. Preferred Brand: Any, with strong hinge and good stereo speakers!

2. Budget: RM5k thereabout or less.

3. Usage: Work and business traveller. That is why I don't care what laptop. At least able to use Adobe CS6. I use the GT540 to render 3D graphics on the laptop for work. I don't mind onboard, as long as it can display the 3D objects without stuttering.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: cannot be smaller than 13". Don't mind 16" if it is light. Better screen colour if possible.

5. Others: I don't mind a cheap HD laptop. I will change it with my 512 GB SSD from this laptop. Will carry over the 8 GB DDR3 Ram also. So that is not a problem. The main problem for this laptop is that the hinge. Since they made it too thinly and the there is a bump behind the base of the screen, the screen hinge will hit base at full tilt. This stresses the hinge and then brake the hinge bezel at the monitor region. This is an idiot design. Since the screen is washed out most of the time, and I need good colour representation, I need to tilt the screen backwards.

On another note, I would like stereo speakers which are on the left and right side of the laptop. On this laptop, both speakers are placed at the same right side area. It does have stereo, but you can't tell since the speakers are too close to each other.

Thank you
*
So you want the laptop to be able to do 300 degree or 180 degree?

Guys, after much consideration i'm moving away from Vostro 5470, to get one with graphic card simply mean going above my budget of 2k.

Looking at following models now, any final input from sifu here?

Lenovo S410P-9989 I5-4200 4GB 500GB NV GT720 2GB 14" W8

HP 14-N059TX/060TX I5-4200 4GB 750GB NV GT740 2GB 14" WIN 8

Price difference can be ignored as the financial package offered makes it more or less on level playing ground.

HP better hdd and graphic? Is not like you buy a laptop and use for few weeks right? So just buy the one with better specs.

1. Preferred Brand : Lenovo/ASUS/Dell. I would gladly take any other recommendations too, but I would prefer to not buy Acer laptops (sooo many lousy experiences with Acer)
2. Budget: 2.5k
3. Usage: Mostly light business-related work such as emails, writing extensive reports, perusing documents, etc. Also some video streaming and internet usage on the side.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 inch.
5. Weight: Around 2kg. I would be bringing this laptop around with me quite a bit, so ease of portability does factor in somewhat.
6. Would prefer at least 4GB memory.

Thanks!
