Hi guys
please recommend me a laptop for business purposes

1. Preferred Brand: Dell or any good after sales service
2. Budget: RM2k or less
3. Usage: Need a laptop with good connectivity because office work is highly dependable on Wifi, Internet and Network. We need to consistently connected to airlines system (MAS, AirAsia, Malindo, etc) and travel agencies ticketing system. Any network disconnection can be a risk for huge loss.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" or 15"

your best choice, a small beast :

Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB, DOS, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

prices in RRP and negotiable.

Not that I know of
But you could always put one in yourself if budget permits

14"
Dell
Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 @RM1599 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8.1 , 4 cell
Inspiron 14-3437, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1399[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1549

*use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years
*you could always get an external USB wifi adapter as backup (if needed haha)

i m kinda worried if there is any laptop like Dell Vostro 5460 having weak adapter
is there any other model having same problem?

Sifu,sorry 1 more question which help my friend to ask.
1.any brand
2.budget :1k
3.usage: to do business assignment/ able to play counter strike
4.14"

any laptop recommended?

as far as i know, Inspiron lines are free from weak WiFi.
if you are still worry about it, you can get these :

Acer
E1-472G-54204G50, i5- 4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Lenovo
G400s, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1599, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS
G500S, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Yeah, like what raymond sifu has mentioned, only Vostro lines suffer from weak WiFi cards (which can be "fixed" by replacing the card )
I would recommend sticking to Dell if you want good warranty support

RM1k is quite low unfortunately
14"
Asusd
X44H-VX231, B820 + Intel HD3000@RM1099[2.44kg], 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS; 1 year warranty

*Do take note some do not come with Windows

I'm also in the same dilemma, whether to go for home or business laptops. Setting my sight on thinkpad at the moment, but not too sure whether is it really worth the money.

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.

If you have the budget and do not intend to change notebooks for up to 5 years, go for business-line notebooks, they are truly reliable and are also covered by superb support
Make sure you have an SSD if you are moving around alot
Conventional HDDs are more susceptible to damages caused by knocks

Preferred Brand any

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.
