Thanks sifu for the recommendation! Like the design very much! You seem to be very supportive of this model hehe. May I know roughly how much to upgrade to SSD?


Currently I'm considering Lenovo Yoga 13 and this Dell 14 7000

You are most welcomed~

Depending on brand, its around RM300-400 for a 128GB SSD, and around RM600-700 for a 256GB SSD
Definitely worth upgrading
Of course, you could choose to do it later on when you have the budget... after all, the 14 7000 already comes with an mSATA SSD which will keep things running smoother than just a conventional HDD alone

Hey TJ, do u mean that we can upgrade it later to SSD?? Does all laptop available or need see spec??
The laptop im getting from Oscar also can ?. But it come with 1TB sata. Wont it be a waste ??
Pls advise

Hi bro
Yeah~~ SsD is basically another form of storage drive, which is way, way, way, way faster than even the fastest of HDD
It works like a giant pendrive; and since it doesn't have a moving part like those in HDD, SSD is cooler, lasts longer, lighter, less prone to damage by knocking oh ya... it doesn't slow down like HDD too after years of usage XD
Its basically a dream come true for computing hah~
Definitely worth getting if you have the budget.. yes u can upgrade for most,if not all notebooks... just a matter of how hard only depending on the internal design of your notebook

No worries, u can ask bro Oscar to help u do it! He helped me with mine too

But be warned... once u go SsD, there's no turning back haha... too fast already
The only drawback of SsD is of course the amount of space for your money.. but for the speed u get, ita worth it! And SsD s are getting cheaper and cheaper now
U can buy an external HDD casing and turn the original Hdd in your Inspiron 15R into an external Hdd

Morning. Great advise.

Will put it in wishlist

Still a pretty awesome machine for such weight

3. Usage: bring to class, office, web browsing, dota 2
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: around 11.6"~13.3"

do you think that transformer book can support dota 2?

Err, don't think so
Not much options at your budget unfortunately

Well then i need to find used notebook then.. any suggestion on used one?

Try looking in Garage Sales?

That's some very demanding requirements
Closest would be this one I suppose

Performance don't really come with slimness/lightness/cheap price tag
