The prices in the Notebook Price Catalog are in RRP (which may not be the most updated as well )
The actual price you're going to get will vary, depending on how much a seller offers you

should go feel the screen size, not much people especially students choose 11" since 13" is just RM300 away... anyway good luck to your purchasing...

Hi everyone! I hav a budget of RM 2000. I wud like 2 hav a laptop wif d follwing criteria:
1. 4th gen Intel core
2. 2GB RAM or above
3. 500GB memory or more
4. 14" screen or above
5. 2GB graphic card

Currently, I hav set my sights on Acer Aspire E1-472G, Lenovo Ideapad S410p and Dell Inspiron 15R. I heard dat Acer is not a gud brand, and ASUS is better. So, can anyone advise me which laptop is better?

Please read the 1st post and follow the format ya

Ok, I will~

1. Preferred Brand - Not ACER
2. Budget - below RM2.3K
3. Usage - mobile office & client quotation
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 inch below

1. Preferred brand: Any brands (currently looking at Lenovo, Dell and ASUS)
2. Budget: RM2k-3k
3. Usage: MS Office, photo editing, video editing, light graphic design, web browsing, stream movies
4. Screen size: Anything as long as comfortable to read and edit photos

**Looking for a lightweight and durable laptop (~2kg)

Any sifus can enlighten me?

1. Preferred brand: Any brands
2. Budget: RM2k-3k
3. Usage: MS Office, web browsing, occasional gaming but not a must (for eg. FIFA/COD playable at smooth fps at low-med graphic), run some engineering software like autocad is optional too (if can't run is fine too)
4. Screen size: Below 14"

-weight is below 2kg or slightly more than 2kg (ultraportables)

Currently looking at Lenovo U430 touch and dell Inspiron 14 7000. Any other recommendations?

Not many options for notebooks less than 14" for that budget unfortunately.. unless you don't mind those ~10" budget netbooks which are not very reliable and comfortable to use

This is the notebook to look for, you'll love the premium design and also good screen
14"
Dell Inspiron 14 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2699[2.02kg], 6GB(soldered), W8.1, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD

*extend warranty to 3 years
Can consider getting from bro Oscar, one of the best sellers here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=216...1751731&fref=ts
Last I check he was selling this at ~RM2.3-2.4k only, which means you might have enough budget to ask him upgrade to SSD to you if you want, or just use the remaining budget for something else

You do realize U430 and Inspiron 14 are 14" notebooks (not "below 14"")? haha

I suppose its still these two at the moment Lenovo for better GPU and higher resolution; Dell for better warranty support (If opted)
Sure can run AutoCAD, just a matter of how smooth (depending on the intensiveness of tasks given)

Can consider this one as well, quite sleek:
14"
HP Envy Touchsmart 14-K119TX Sleekbook, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768;touch)@RM2799[2.01kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8.1

going down to kl tomorrow, where can i get this price in kl?

yeah..how bout 15'' with at least 4gb and light weight

Hi, need opinion.. which one is better, both got same spec..
-lenovo s410p
-dell inspiron 14
Spec, i5-4200u, nvidia gt720m, 14"

What is the pros and cons for both model?

Lowyat plaza is the place to go
but you'll need to ask around from shop to shop (only go to big stores ya to avoid con-case) to get the best price
And try to turn down freebies- they're useless, ask for price reductions instead

*Assuming you already know both laptop suits your usage
With the Dell you get better warranty support (better if you extend the warranty to 3 years on-site)

The Lenovo is lighter and slimmer, potentially hotter as well

I think you are looking for a 14" notebook

Can consider this one, its a great and classy-looking notebook, with great 1-year warranty support too:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2699[2.02kg], 6GB(soldered), W8.1, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD

Do check with bro Oscar on the price here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienwar...?flyingspaghettimonster=ts&fref=ts
Last I've checked he was selling at a price around your budget

Or if you prefer something cheaper, then this:
14"
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2299, 4GB, W8, 2 yrs; colors: black/orange

But do take note that slim notebooks don't come with optical drives (CD-ROM) anymore ya

Oops, should say 14" and below. Haha!

What if the screen size is around 11" - 13"? And the budget is increased to 3.5k? Will i have more choice? Want something that can justify the higher price tag though

1. Preferred brand: Any brands (Prefer Lenovo, Asus, Toshiba)
2. Budget: 2k~2.5k
3. Usage: MS Office, Gaming, Photo Editing
4. Preferences : at least 15" display, along with GeForce GT740m 4gb ram.

Need any recommendations~ currently had my eyes set on Lenovo Z510, looking for more alternatives

11-13" notebooks are not that large-scale produce , so they are generally more expensive
It costs more to fit more in such a small profile as well, so nope... not really much you can choose around that budget

Closest:
13"
