Don't know what is "better quality" smile.gif

If you do engineering 3D, you need decent CPU and at least moderate discrete GPU.
But taper your expectation due to your budget.

Sorry. Should have elaborate more on "better quality". Currently I am using 5 years old Dell Inspiron 14. I dont like the not solid feel of the laptop, prefer brand comes with better built which can last me for few years usage without much problem. How is I raise up the budget to RM3k?

Thanks.

Listed quite a few models for you previously. Check them out 1st smile.gif
The Asus Pro, HP ProBook, Lenovo V480 in particular has "solid" feel for RM2.5k price range.
There is also a slight difference between 14 and 14R smile.gif (not much, but slightly better build).

If you hike up to RM3k, then can consider these as well:

Asus
PRO45VJ-V0049X, i7-3520QM + Nvidia GT635M@RM3099[2.4kg], 8GB, 750GB, W7P

Dell
Latitude 14 3000 (sorry don't have the detail spec and price, but should be comparable to others)

Lenovo
ThinkPad Edge E431, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT635M@RM3179[2.15kg], 4GB, 1TB, W7P/W8P, anti-glare

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
