15" notebooks are generally larger and not that easy to bring about
Can consider these:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2649[1.99kg], 4GB(soldered), W8.1, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD

If you can stretch your budget to ~RM2.3-2.4k, then I would recommend you to get the Inspiron 14 7000 from bro putochip123
Personally I think the Inspiron 14 7000 is one of the best notebooks for work

Thanks! =D Considering 15" 'cause it's for my dad who prefers a larger screen.
Any Asus to recommend?

U already spoonfeeding everyday here de ..
All repeat question when they can just read from page 1 till 40
and know what model they want already

Hi All Sifu / Master,
Need help to buy Laptop for Daily Usage / Web Programming.

1. Preferred Brand: Microsofr Surface Pro (But don't know whether is it suitable for programming environment?)
2. Budget: 2K+-
3. Usage: Web Programming, PHP, Web Browsing, Entertainment.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Around 14" +-

Can you please advice what are the different for Ultrabook, normal PC Laptop & Surface Pro? Thank you. Preffered i5 processor.

Really need advice.

Thanks man! haha
Finally someone who understands

Still okay la, not everyone has the time to read from page 1 until the most recent
Few more days will get your notebook liao yo Excited?

Surface Pro is actually a very great choice, if you can still find one
The 128GB version is selling at ~Rm1.9k only, just need to add another ~RM300 to get the type cover and you're good to go- affordable, portable and high quality device. Of course, you do know that its 10" in size right? Might be too small if your work requires a lot of workspace

Can consider this one as well:
14"
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT820M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2299, 4GB (soldered), W8, 2 yrs; colors: black/orange


Ultrabooks are basically slim and light notebooks aimed at portability and battery life but compromising on performance
Normal PC notebooks are relatively bulkier but packs a punch for the price you pay
Surface Pro is a Hybrid Convertible that can be "switched" from tablet to laptop mode vice versa, very convenient for those on the go, or those who needs to make presentations using tablets.

yup yup .. Pray for Bro Oscar safe return.
Show the spec to my friend and he also say nice spec for the price.
