1. Preferred Brand: Any (reliable, asus will be out from review here)
2. Budget : RM2k
3. Usage: microsoft office , some gaming(dota2, L4D2, hope can play) video/photo editing, surf and online movie.

I was looking at E1-472G. Does it come with Dos only?? Not a fan if W8. And also lower end of Flex 14 (GT820M card) RSP 1799 at Lenovo Web'

Its good to know that you have already did some research before asking  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Oh, we only recommend the Flex 14 if your budget is from RM1.7-2.3k AND you don't really play games haha.. since you do game, please consider these instead:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

HP Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: silver/black

*Prices in RRp ya

THe graphic cards in these are much better than the GT720M
Just pick the one you like more, since both are pretty equally spec-ed. If you are going for the Dell, it might be better to fork out a little bit more for the warranty ya icon_rolleyes.gif

Try to upgrade to at least 8GB RAM, it will help with your editing and multi-tasking nod.gif You can choose to upgrade later on when you have the budget  icon_rolleyes.gif

I think this problem is also plaguing the MBP with RD as well  hmm.gif
Its not just Microsoft problem, but basically every software out there... which is why as of now its still not a very good move to go for super high-resolution screens  hmm.gif
Sure thing man, given the choice, I would want one too thumbup.gif
Its a premium notebook with mSATA SSD yo thumbup.gif
Just too bad it doesn't have a GPU... but that's asking for too much already lol

Anyway, looks like its on promotion too:

Dell Inspiron 15R with AMD HD8850M (no longer in Dell website) is much better than almost every other GPUs in its price range brows.gif

You are most welcomed~

Depending on brand, its around RM300-400 for a 128GB SSD, and around RM600-700 for a 256GB SSD  icon_rolleyes.gif
Definitely worth upgrading thumbup.gif
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 icon_rolleyes.gif

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 hmm.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

Morning. Great advise.

Will put it in wishlist rclxm9.gif rclxms.gif
