Hi Sifus, pls help me in this... thanks alot!!

1. Preferred Brand: None.
2. Budget: 4500MYR.
3. Usage: Working in Ms Office, Web Browsing, Stocks Trading, Occasionally watch movies.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15"+/-
5. Special request: W8.1, Need high memory to avoid laggy, HDD capacity 1TB if possible, long hour usage (try to avoid easy get 'fever' and bigger battery capacity)
6. Plan to add-on: Ms Office 2014, Antivirus (w/ extra budget)

p/s: On top of that, I think touch screen is cool as Im quite get used to Surface Pro at the moment, wanna check if touch screen feature how much I need to spare in extra if necessary.

Well the first thing that comes to my mind for long batt life is the macbook pro or macbook air,
but since u wanted w8.1 i guess ur best bet would be the

ThinkPad T440p, i5-4200H + Intel HD4600 + 16GB mSATA + 1TB HDD@RM4139, 4GB, W7P+W8P, 3 years

Do note probably u can haggle on the OS preferences,

OR if you want to, u could get a macbook pro and bootcamp windows OS in it,
that way u can get ur battery life longer, but u wont have touchscreen on the mbp

Thanks for your kind advice. thumbup.gif

First of all, Mac is not my choice for sure as Im abit against to learn new OS as many things seem so different.

Is ThinkPad a good choice? It look quite classic in design to me, but I am ok if it is strong in performance rclxms.gif
What do you think of its batt can last long for how many hours? 5Hrs possible? (Pls spare me for being noob as I totally have no idea about these knowledge)
W7P+W8P means what? Why it comes with two versions of Windows OS? For user's preference in case they prefer to use W7?
Lastly, the screen is upgradeable to touch screen or what? If yes, how much would it cost extra for the difference in between?

p/s: Wondering why ThinkPad T440P and Y410P price gap so much different even the cheaper one is carrying an i7? Bcoz of the Intel graphic card?

No i wont spare u. I will murder u and throw vulgar words at u. Hahaha jkjk smile.gif
Anyway so macs are off the table now the y410p vs t440p

Based on what i read. U can get up to 8 hours of browsing. Im not sure myself as to what setting its using but it is plausible. Managed to get 7hours of browsing with my old acer 4820tg using med setting. So the t440p should handle it well. And also the y410p is aimed more for the gaming side due to the dedicated graphic card but has no touch capability.

The t440p comes in with touchscreen u dont have to add (i might be wrong please double check with ur seller) and the w7 + w8 suggests its possible on both platform meaning drivers are available (do check again with ur seller to see in which side does it come with)

Wakaka... I let u slash my photo's neck if u really wanna lepas geram la tongue.gif I will remain immortal in real life and can give u slash second, third time and so forth lol!!! bcoz I owe you once due to the favor of input. notworthy.gif

Uhmm, 8Hrs is more than enough. Im thinking of 6hours if possible as sometimes really cant find power point then it can really allow me to accomplish my task while I am travelling outstation. Since you've mentioned that Y410P is more suitable for gaming purpose, I'd rather chose T440P then, coz I don't wanna buy another 'toy' to get myself addicted into the mud again lol!! (I can simply get addicted into a game, easily!!)

If you have any nice seller to recommend to me, I can go for him too. Im going to Harvey Norman/ computer shop in mall to check for this particular model now.

Thank you so much, bro Kivaa... for advising us generously. You are good man, good luck will be with you always, LOL! biggrin.gif
