Convertibles nowadays relies on USB to LAN/Ethernet port, or the keyboard/dock itself only have the Ethernet port. so there is no such thing for your requirement.

Guys I am back again lol, last time asked but didn't buy because was waiting.

1. Preferred Brand: Any except for ASUS.
2. Budget : RM2k - 2.5k, dont mind topping up a bit more.
3. Usage: College, studies for sister.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" or less. The lighter the better thus prefer around 13 - 14" screen size.
Is there any other models that I am missing out? Actually wanted to get ASUS k451lb but changed my mind on ASUS. Thought of topping up for lenovo U430T but everywhere in digital mall seems to be out of stock. Flex 14 is out of the list because sister dislike the design.

Now I am deciding between Dell Inspiron 14 & Inspiron 14R due to dell great warranty support. What do you guys think between these two model, especially the Inspiron 14? Price is cheap, seems like a good buy only downside is the battery life I guess. http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-14-3437/...nspiron-14-3437

Does this model suffer from wifi issue like vostro 5470?
*
Inspiron models are free of wifi issue.

why dont you try PM devour or numbertwo for the U430T? they are reputable sellers in this forum and maybe they still have stocks.

Sorry, after the incident with devour, I will never buy things from him anymore. Yeah will try to contact numbertwo or just purchase it directly from dell website smile.gif Might just get that model & replace the hdd with an ssd. Should be perfect I guess.

The dell website says it comes with 4cell battery & 6cell is optional but I can't find anyway to add 6cell battery during the customization  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
*
oh, what happened between you and him? as my POV towards devour is positive. hmm.gif

by the way, try talk with Dell's sales representative via online chat, see if they do it as Dell Malaysia's site is missing out a lot.

I'm looking for a laptop for work purposes, using mostly Microsoft office and occasional usage for cad and photoshop. Will be bringing it along for daily usage.

Want a reliable laptop with good after sales service, 3 years warranty is necessary.

Budget will be around 4k.

Is it necessary for me to look for business laptops or normal home units will do?

Thanks.
*
normal home units will do. to add, they offer better specs as well, especially for your photoshop and cad use.

Dell
Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

Lenovo
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3399[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8.1, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

Z510, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT740M@RM2799[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs

Acer
V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8

HP
Envy Touchsmart 15-J053TX, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080;touch)@RM3499[2.56kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8

prices in RRP and negotiable. my best vote goes for Z510 if your cad and photoshop isnt intensive, Y510P if you are intense.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Agree that the specifications for home use laptops is always better than the business laptops of the same price range. But will there be any significant differences in terms of reliability and built?

Have used a couple of home used laptops before this, but they does not last too long. Was told by my friend to go for business laptops instead, such as thinkpad. But the price variance is quite huge for similar specs. Are they worth the extra money?

Thanks
*
true that business laptops are built to last longer than home laptops do but technology evolution wont stop. the demand of performance will increase as well when you want a productive work to produce faster. an average laptop life span is 2-3 years, but if you are lucky enough, maybe 5 years also wont become a problem.

about business laptops, they are worth to buy for last longer usage but negative side is the low resale value and price over performance factor.

I'll be using it as a mobile workstation cause need to travel quite often. Read reviews that the normal home laptops will not be as durable as business models if you are moving it around often. Is that true?
*
never heard of that factor as all of that are personal opinions. my brother do constantly moving around with his Inspiron 15R and now its still working like charm.

Y50?

Budget 3 - 4k

Usage College use which involve using Multimedia software, photoshop, video editing after effects, casual gaming (need for speed rivals, titanfall mid/low graphics)

Preferred laptop/screen size 15"

problem is, Y50 isnt announced yet. the best budget overall you can get at the moment is Lenovo Y510P, or you need to wait for Y50.
