Very nice, for the point of view but about the 64 gb of storage abit small?

I think i will choose those can remove battery laptop will do.

Any advice ^^

Just asked Dell's support, all of their Vostro/Inspiron/Latitude laptops only fits half height mSATA SSDs...

Where's the Linux option in the website above?

Anyway, is there any laptops that allow me to fit a full sized mSATA SSD? Since I wanted to have a SSD+HDD combination and I don't really want to go with the optical drive caddy option which most likely voids the warranty.

tomorrow will go to lowyat and buy this laptop.
will add ram and extend warranty.

any other advice sifu?

Hi Thank you for your kind advice again!! I will follow your advice. Any online trusted sale you can recommend to get a dell inspiron 14 7000?
I have tried contact bro Oscar, he replied twice then gone missing...
Please pm if you feel comfortable to recommend, Thank you..

it seems the Z50-70 i5 and the flex 2-14 have almost the same specs (except flex has touch screen and Z50-70 has double the HDD space)

wondering what is the reason that you recommend the flex over the z50? sorry, paranoid buyer-to-be here

nao... let me stay at ur house

add 4gb ram straight. and if u plan want install OS.. get 64bit... thn it fully utilised ur ram.. dont use 32bit(x86) cz ur remaining ram will left out and unused.

probably he busy.... there's a lot.. hikari86, princeJ, devour...

if u rike touch screen.. go for flex lo but i prefer z50 than flex.. touch screen? jz optional

it seems we have the same mindset hehe

so dont waste with those touch screen.. why need touch screen if u hv semark pone @ tablet to touch2

Preferred brand: any bran that is value for money
Budget: low 3k with Windows and office
Usage: working and dota2
Laptop screen: 15'
If possible light as I might need to bring my lap top. Not that often

Many thanks. Will drop by lowest this weekend would appreciate if you could recommend which shop

Again thanks for everything sorry for the trouble

If you go for the Z50, you can use remaining budget to upgrade to 8GB RAM and also swap the HDD for an SSD

Hi Sifus,

1. Preferred Brand:None
2. Budget: RM 2K +/-
3. Usage: General Usage for university, some gaming(dota2), marketing student here
4. Preferred laptop/screen size:None

Thanks sifu for the fast response. Did a quick research and found that lenovo flex 2 has slightly lower battery life.

Apart from the lenovo, is there any model that you would recommend me. Was thinking about hp pavilion for instance.

Thanks again in advance

Unfortunately you can't get great performance, portability and good battery lives at the same time, not with a 15" notebook at the price range
You could consider these as well but the specs are more or less similar, so the battery lives won't be very much different:
