Hi sifu,
I noticed that for this model below the battery is non removable:-

Asus
K451LB-WX071H, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199, 4GB, 750GB, W8

What happens if the battery spoilt and you need to replace the entire system?  rclxub.gif
*
Most people don't bother replacing the battery unless if you really need it laugh.gif
In which's case you just need to open up the casing and replace it?

Sifu I was thinking what if battery kong and you may not bring the lappie outside/travelling where you need to rely on the battery.  notworthy.gif

Unless if you always put your battery into the oven, or if you use your notebook inside an oven; batteries won't die so fast laugh.gif
Usually around the lifespan of 2-3 years, when that time comes you will feel like changing a new laptop already. That's why most people don't bother changing..
The battery in my M14x is dying as well, and I don't really think I would change it too, just use socket haha laugh.gif

If you really need it, buy battery and replace the kong one? I'm not sure how easy you will be able to find an Asus battery though hmm.gif Probably need a few hundred

There is a risk that batteries will die accidentally, or without our conscent. Only if TS not to worry about it, it is okay.

Or if you want a 'user replacable' non-removable battery, get macbook. Macbook's non removable battery involves removing back cover, unscrewing and detach battery plug, which is a simple job. laugh.gif

laugh.gif What do you mean "without our consent"? Doesn't feel right haha laugh.gif

I think most built-in batteries are not that hard to replace I suppose.. apart from those in thin ultrabooks or hybrids hmm.gif

You know, my 6930p battery died without my consent. The adapter was plugged in and battery meter showing my battery was fully charged. Just when i wanted to switch place a while and i turned off the adapter, the laptop insta powered off. When plugged in the adapter and startup, the battery meter shows 0% and not receiving charges, means its dead.

Thanks, it's actually for engineering work, with some autocad, programming tools.
Have to be windows 7 compatible, that's why resolution higher with big screen is preferable. Best is cheap also, haha....

Aiyo you see la, that's what happens when you all don't mention properly your requirements sweat.gif
You almost bought the wrong notebook! lol

For your usage, go for the RM2999 MSI GP60, ignore the others nod.gif

Hi guys, i'm looking for a laptop which will be used mainly for work, mostly involving office applications and autocad. Need a laptop which is reliable and good warranty coverage. Currently considering the Thinkpad 440P variants, between the i5 and i7 models. The i5-4200h variant comes with 4600hd and the i7-4600m comes with gt730m. Is there any significant performance difference between these? It's about 1k difference in price.

Or anyone can recommend other laptops of similar performance and price range?

Thanks.

Not really a big difference, unless if you are doing 3D stuffs nod.gif
If you are doing 3D stuffs, then it might be better to consider notebooks with more powerful GPUs instead thumbup.gif

Can also ask him to quote you the price of the Dell Precision M3800 too (looks exactly the same as XPS 15, but with slightly better specs)

Hello guys. I need your suggestions.
I'm a Mass Communication student, I used to have HP Pavilion g4 series as my laptop.
Recently, my mom wants to buy Surface RT tablet as I want to bring something light and easier to carry around college.
But I was thinking, instead of buying Surface RT, I would like to change to Macbook.
I've done several research/survey online which Macbook models I should buy but I still can't make up my mind.
I want something where I can keep a lot of things inside (assignments, pictures, songs) but didn't lag,
I walk quite far from my car to college so I want a thin & light laptop, long last battery.

I need your help, which Macbook models (MBA 13 inch vs MBP 13 inch) should I buy?
You can explain to me in detail about the disadvantages/advantages of both models and suggest me which Macbook model should I buy smile.gif
*
As recommended earlier, go for MBA11 or 13

1. Any brand.
2. Range from around 2k-4k (above 4k a little would be fine too)
3. Studying medicine overseas so probably to do assignments, research and reports, to play l4d2 and dota 2 only, and also to watch movies.
4. At least 15 inch.

Thank you very much in advance for your help! smile.gif
Really appreciate it!

Might I ask, where are you headed?
If you're going to be overseas for years, its better to buy your notebook there since (i) it might be cheaper to buy over there, (ii) the warranty here won't work over there.
Purchasing international warranty in Malaysia can be very expensive, and some even requires transfer of warranty to other countries hmm.gif
