Thanks for your prompt reply. Are there any shops in lowyat that you would recommend? There are so many laptop shops in lowyat, I don't want to waste so much time hunting for the best bargain.

Hi guys, I would like to get some recommendation for a laptop for my mum. I'm open for any brands. Price cheaper the better. At least 13" and i need windows preinstalled. Just need a laptop for daily use of web browsing, a bit of fb games, YouTube and Microsoft.

Hi, I'll need a new laptop for my work next month. I'll be doing a lot of programming in java & .net, so I'd need a pretty powerful lappy.

1. Preferred Brand: Lenovo/HP/Dell
2. Budget: around rm3.5k
3. Usage: android programming, java, .net
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15.6 inch
5. Other conditions:
i) at least i5, prefers i7 - both should not be U model.. cause U model sucks when doing a lot of programming work... sweat.gif
ii) 8gb ram, more is better
iii) FHD screen
iv) SSD 256gb preferred, or at least it's easy to add SSD later

thanks!
