Hi all, just saw this thread. I need some suggestions on what laptop to buy

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand
2. Budget: RM 2800-3500 (maybe can stretch upto 4k if really really needed)
3. Usage: mainly for Gaming (Dota 2), and other multitasking use (Surfing, FB, Skype, YouTube, Movies)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" up

Ive been thinking about Lenovo Y510.

All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks in advance!

   

How about these?
14"
Dell
Inspiron 14 3000, i3-4005U + Intel HD4400@RM1349[2.2kg], 4GB, 500GB, Linux, 4-cell, spill-resistant KB, 2 years Pro support; W8.1SL@RM1499
Inspiron 14 3000, i3-4030U + Nvidia 820M@RM1549[2.2kg], 4GB, 500GB, Linux, 4-cell, spill-resistant KB, 2 years Pro support; W8.1SL@RM1699

*extend warranty to 3 years with remaining budget

For notebooks around this price range, you can either choose in between portability or good built... those with both are more expensive

How about Lenovo G40-70 (Intel i5 4200U) and HP Pavilion 15-N227TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia 840M@RM1849[2.33kg], 4GB, 500GB, Ubuntu because I prefer intel i5 than intel i3 and good built?

Do you think what is the best choice?

Thank you   

1. Preferred Brand: Asus, Lenovo, Acer NO HP & DELL
2. Budget: 2k - 2.5k
3. Usage: Mostly Uni Stuff:Assignment, Movie, Web Surfing, Fifa maybe?
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" above

Currently I'm looking at Lenovo S410P and Asus K551LB. Price is almost the same. Which one is better?
A store in pyramid is offering student price for S410P for 2499, with i7 processor and also Microsoft office ( Student ) not full.
Any better choice?
Please help

Help me please.. only PF.TJ replied me with 2 choices.. other any choices?

Hi!

I would like to look for a new laptop with:

1. Preferred Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM3500 (If lower price laptop can meet the usage, then don't need to maximize the budget)
3. Usage:Writing, MATLAB, Photoshop and some 3D CAD like Pro-E and Solidworks
4. Preferred laptop / screen size: 14' (Most preferred) to 15.6'

Thanks in advance for all the nice effort 

Not many 14" notebooks with quad-core i7 processors left nowadays huhu...
So it all boils down to these:
14"
Lenovo
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB, DOS, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5)@RM3199, 8GB, 1TB, W8.1, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

* extend warranty to 3 years; or opt for an SSD with remaining budget

Thanks for the recommendation. 

Seems that quad-core processor is a must and the ULV processor is not able to handle the thing... If go for 15.6' screen, any recommendation? 

Hello experts!

I need a recommendation of a laptop.

What I'm currently using: a 3 year old ASUS N55SF (The GPU fail on me now)

Preferred brand: Any

Budget: Maybe not more than RM2,500 but don't strictly stick to it because I'm not aware of my needs vs price.

Features: Lightweight, good battery life, I work mobile (home+office)
Usage: MS Office, Adobe AI+PS, Video streaming/recording capable, light gaming (Anything that is equivalent and enough to run Dota2 with good FPS is fine), general multimedia use (movie playback/music/surfing/torrent)

Preferred screen size: 14" maybe? Currently using 15.6" (and it's heavy)

What I don't really care about: Sound quality.
Hope to hear from yall soon.

Thank you!

Don't every buy DELL laptops!

I have been using DELL computers and laptops for more than 10 years, I know what I am talking about. 

DELL laptops will conk out just after the warranty period.  If you still insist on buying DELL desktops or laptops, pay more for longer warranty period and pray for the best.

hi sifus

1. Preferred Brand: any brand
2. Budget: RM 3000~4000
3. Usage:
gaming : dota 2, battlefield, counter strike, titanfall
software : autocad, 3dmax, rendering, photoshop, sketchup
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" up

looking for slim and lightweight notebook

Thanks in advance! smile.gif

Thanks for the encouragements man 
The sifus and I appreciate it!

Anyway, for photo editing, getting a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro RD (cheapest at RM4.1k wo) is a better pick since the screens are better and more accurate bro

There are complains about yellowish tints of the IPS Screen of the Flex-2 (probably due to relatively cheaper IPS screen to keep prices down)
I think only the MBA13 (and MBA11 if you are considering) is within your budget unfortunately:
13"
Apple
MacBookAir 13", i5-4260U + Intel HD5000 + 128GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3199[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

*upgrade RAM when you have the budget, it will help with Photoshop rendering and multitasking

As for Office, take note that you will experience incompatibilities when switching from APple to Windows platforms ya 

How about these?
15.6"
Lenovo
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3399[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8.1, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

MSI
GP60-2PE-026MY, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT840M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) @RM3299[Dynaudio], 4GB, 1TB HDD, W8.1

*Prices in RRP
Also quad-core powered with FullHD goodness, but larger and heavier

Thank you so much bro for your recommendations...   

For the updates, I already bought Macbook Pro Retina Display on 31st July.. To be honest, I'm quite scared first to use Mac since I never use a Mac before.. I've been loyal Windows user for 20 years.. But this year, my works need to do lots of photography editing, so I followed your advice and get a Macbook.. It is so good in doing photography editing, the color reproductions also is very good and the OS is very snappy compared to Windows (not trying to be a fanboys).. I love its trackpad and keyboard so much.. No wonder Macbook's price is higher than some Windows laptop because of quality.. You got for what you pay for.. 

Anyway, thank you so much.. Keep the hardwork in this recommendations thread..
