Need a recommendation for a Windows photo-editing laptop to replace my 5-years old Dell XPS 16. Would be good if HDD and RAM slots are easily accessible.

1. Preferred Brand: any brand with good after-sales support.
2. Budget: RM5k
3. Usage: desktop replacement, photo editing, light gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" to 17" non-reflective IPS screen

Thanks!

Can look for this one by dealing with bro putochip123, he's selling within your budget brows.gif
14"
Dell Inspiron 14 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2649[1.99kg], 4GB(soldered), W8.1, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD

Or you can get this one too, though its slightly less sturdy and has a smaller battery:
14"
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT820M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2299, 4GB (soldered), W8, 2 yrs; colors: black/orange

no good cooling system for light and sturdy laptops. to make the laptop light, it has to be slim which means traps more hot air and thinner heatsinks. anyway, suggestions :

Dell
Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1799[1.62kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, 3-cell

Lenovo
S410p, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400M@RM1699[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

prices in RRP and negotiable. use the remaining budget to upgrade RAM to 8GB and extend warranty to 3 years on-site for the sake of peace in mind. icon_rolleyes.gif

depends on what kind of engineering course you are taking. even if you have the need to use CAD for your engineering course, the i5 is enough to use for 5 years (without software upgrade) but i'd suggest i7 to prevent inconvenience.

for purchase, you can find it at lowyat or Digital Mall. smile.gif
