Hi guys, looking for a lightweight laptop

1. Preferred Brand:Any Brand
2. Budget: 2k-3k
3. Usage : for office work
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Any size

Hi Im a college student, studying designs... not much to use for gaming, but sometimes will ply Steam game like csgo. I pretty like macbook pro, but is it worth that buying it with that 'kind' of specs? I mean storage.. anyway still need u guys' opinion. Pls...

1. Brand : Apple, dell or asus? (Scare of Asus's service)
2. Budget : RM5000-6000
3. Usage : Work, study, daily usage, seldom gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : whatever

Dear Sirs,

Recommendations much appreciated :-

1. Preferred Brand: Dell
2. Budget: Not more than RM3,000
3. Usage: office, web browsing, gaming, photoshopping
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 inches
5. Most importantly should be as durable as possible (tahan lasak) - bcos my son uses it 12 hours a day (That's why we choose Dell for its great 2 years warranty - takut "mati" lepas 6 bulan.)

Selected the popular 7447 but was told no more stock (Dah jadi EOL : "End-Of-Life"). Now considering the new Inspiron 5445 (with fifth generation new I7-5500 chip). Bros, anyone use this chip before?. New model . . . takut beli lemon lappy.

Thanks in advance any invaluable input.

Cheers

Design as in which area ? Interior design ? 3D rendering ?
The new MB is spec is not as good as the previous, if you really want MB, get the previous version. The new one is quite a facepalm, Intel M processor and need to get external adapter for more ports
Do note if you get MB, you can't play CSGO on high settings 1080p. You may play it but you hardly can get 60fps abv.
Your budget is very high. If you seldom game, just get Business grade laptop. It is more reliable and built quality is better.
Thinkpad, Latitude and Elitebook are all your choice. IF you want gaming capability then get one with dgpu.
If not then go for gaming laptop. Your budget can get gtx970m already.
ILLEGEAR S5 / D5, Asus G751JT, MSI GE62 2QF etc.

1. Preferred Brand - Anything except Acer and Samsung
2. Budget - around RM5,500
3. Usage - for university. Looking for a battery life of about 8-10 hours with light-medium usage? Touchscreen is a must
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - Minimum 13"

Dear sifus, I'll be using this laptop in the uni, and the field that I am in requires me to use the laptop outside the classroom often. Meaning I'll be walking about with the laptop in my hands, so a light portable laptop will definitely be better.

I am currently looking at the new 2015 Dell XPS13, i7 with touchscreen, but if any sifus know of a laptop with touchscreen, i5/i7, with good battery life and doesnt weigh much then I'd consider them also! I do some light gaming every now and then, so HD5500 should be enough but a dedicated GC wouldn't hurt Thankiuuuuu

Lol im not interested that new MB la...is MBP...
Anyway, is gaming laptop reliable? Which brand is better?
Note that im a seldom gaming guy. I know gaming laptop comes with higher specs, but also heard gaming laptop always problemed...
I need a laptop that can hold as longer as possible, i dunwn any problems if possible, i hate to going to service centre hahaha..

Recommendations much appreciated :-

1. Preferred Brand: Any
2. Budget: Under RM1.5k, lower better (budget limited) but hopefully with sshd
3. Usage: Office, web browsing, mainly for GST accounting, no gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Any, but lighter/thinner better
5. a. Preferably SSHD (even with 8GB is good enough) for fast boot, no need god spec, enough to run GST compliance software then ok already.
b. Comes with original windows, 7 or 8 doesn't matter
c. Hopefully it can last for quite a while since it is for company use

Is Intel Atom good enough for accounting software?

intel 5500 can play dota 2

If you're really not going to game a lot, especially high demanding game, then get business grade laptop. Business grade laptop built quality is better and will surely last you at least 3-5 years if you take care of it.
Thinkpad and Latitude is quite common in this area. Just make sure you get a unit which is upgrade-friendly. (no onboard ram, support up to at least 16gb ram, SSD slot etc etc.)
If you're rich, then you can go ahead and get MBP or Dell XPS 13. These 2 unit is damn slim and battery life is damn long. But their spec is not as good as you expected. U series processor is not meant for multitasking and heavy processing.

Currently using Lenovo y500 SLI GT650m running Ubunbu Gnome. Intern as IOS Developer. Going to pursue final year degree in Computer science in US.

Not sure whether to continue building apps for IOS. But looking for a premium build laptop. Planning to pass this Gaming laptop to my younger bro as I don't need so much GPU power.

If money is not a problem. What's the best laptop for programmer/ developer ?

- premium build quality
- support 2x external monitor
- resolution as high as possible. 2k or 4k
- ram : 16gm (multi VMs)
- Disk : ( anti HDD only SSD)
- more CPU less GPU. Intel GPU is fine. Afaik, intel gpu can now support 3x display.

- wait for 2015 mbpr 15' refresh?
- Dell Precision M3800 mobile workstation, developer edition (ubuntu), it has quadro, overpowered GPU. i dont think i need that.
- Any think pad series reached my requirements ? (i know they're good in build quality)
- or any other recommendation, other developer what are you using ?

Dear Sirs,

Thank you in advance,

1. Preferred Brand: None
2. Budget: Not more than RM3,000
3. Usage: office, web browsing, gaming

Looking for a business grade laptop that'll last me for a bit.

1. Preferred Brand-MSI,Dell,Lenovo
2. Budget-5k-5.5k
3. Usage-College (studying IT),Light gaming like Dota2, CSGO
4. Preferred laptop/screen size-15-17

Looking into MSI GE62 2QF, 2015 MacbookPro , Dell XPS , or Lenovo Y50 . Dont know which one to choose , prefer light, long battery life.

for your current field, I guess a MBP would be better.
you can get the academic discount as well.

As evo said, MBPr is your best bet if you're still going for IOS or Apple development.
If you're totally not into Apple development already, get Thinkpad or Latitude. Most business grade laptop that has high end CPU comes with quadro card, so no choice but to get it though.

Sifus, I need a light laptop for uni that has a long battery life. Any good Windows laptop that can compete with the Macbook Air besides Dell XPS 13? Not really considering the Surface because storage is too small... It'll be better for me if the screen quality is around 1080p and above.

1. Brand : Asus or any other brands (Worried about Acer's quality)
2. Budget : RM3000-RM4000
3. Usage : study, typing document and doing presentation, web browsing, watch videos, no gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 13 inches or smaller

Thanks~
