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 icon_rolleyes.gif

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 rclxub.gif

Hi bro notworthy.gif
Yeah~~ SsD is basically another form of storage drive, which is way, way, way, way faster than even the fastest of HDD laugh.gif
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 brows.gif 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 smile.gif

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

But be warned... once u go SsD, there's no turning back haha... too fast already brows.gif
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 smile.gif
U can buy an external HDD casing and turn the original Hdd in your Inspiron 15R into an external Hdd thumbup.gif

Very great advice!!! Thank you very much! rclxms.gif
Since can turn the original hdd into external hdd, definitely worth the price for a faster laptop rclxm9.gif
