QUOTE(CP88 @ Mar 22 2014, 03:35 PM) 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. 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 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 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 |

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Mar 22 2014, 05:29 PM) 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. I think most built-in batteries are not that hard to replace I suppose.. apart from those in thin ultrabooks or hybrids |

When plugged in the adapter and startup, the battery meter shows 0% and not receiving charges, means its dead.

QUOTE(@udio_jr @ Mar 23 2014, 11:35 AM) 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. Not really a big difference, unless if you are doing 3D stuffs Or anyone can recommend other laptops of similar performance and price range? Thanks. If you are doing 3D stuffs, then it might be better to consider notebooks with more powerful GPUs instead |

I need your suggestions. As recommended earlier, go for MBA11 or 13I'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 |

QUOTE(redbear @ Mar 23 2014, 05:40 PM) 1. Any brand. Might I ask, where are you headed?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! Really appreciate it! 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 |
