*Prices in RRP
*Do take note that Asus Malaysia's warranty support is not good
Yeah your budget is certainly good enough haha

Although its one generation-earlier, I would recommend you to try and look for the high quality XPS13 (Maybe can ask
putochip123 whether he has access to them or not)- more reliable, though in the end whether a notebook lasts or not depends on a little bit of luck, and how u take care of it

If you cannot find this, then try and get the Inspiron 14 7000, and extend warranty to 3 years, that'll guarantee you at least 3 years

Can look for bro putochip123 or
viper88 for the purchase~
which would u really recommend based on the list u suggested and why ? and what do u mean by higher quality XPS13 ?
