Need some help here after some disappointment with Dell Sales Team.

1. Preferred Brand - Any brand will do
2. Budget - below RM3000
3. Usage - Internet Browsing, Photo Editing(simple, not photoshop), required big storage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15 inch

Previously i consider Inspiron 15R but Dell team is slow respond, please suggest a good option or Inspiron 15R still the best choice?
Thanks

A FullHD screen will come in handy for photo editing or movies etc.
15.6"
MSI GE60K, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2899, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, 2 years warranty

As for Dell, you might wanna consider this one instead brows.gif
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + (1366x768; Touch) @RM2899[2.6kg], 6GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

*Prices in RRP, negotiable, try to extend warranty to 3 years icon_rolleyes.gif
*For Dell, buying directly through Dell website is not that worth it, unless if you bargain with online Dell Sales Agents. Otherwise, can try looking for viper88 or putochip123 here icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the prompt respond, appreciate your help very much.
i have some confusion rclxub.gif , you recommend Inspiron 15 7000 vs 15R but i check the spec and price seem like 15R is cheaper with better spec, is there any hidden spec i dont see on Dell website?

Same processor, window and screen but
15 7000 vs 15R
6GB Ram vs 8GB Ram
7500GB HDD vs 1TB HDD
IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4400 vs AMD Radeon™ HD 8670M 2GB DDR3
RM2899 vs RM2299

Thanks

you must go see the actual laptop... then you will know the spec/price is not deciding factor for you to choose the laptop d

the exterior and built quality is always neglected by buyers...

whereas for a laptop, imo, the most important is built quality, design, screen, keyboard quality, touchpad quality, ventilation, brand, then only talk about spec....

very powderful laptop but if pair with choppy keyboard or awkward touchpad... will deduct the overall score of the laptop... even you pay a little bit extra... it is worth also, coz you will forget how much you pay after a few month...
