I do agree on the part of charge..they very good in additional charging..haha

is onsite service available on weekend? cuz i will be working in singapore n travel bk JB on weekend.
unless gt international warranty else quite troublesome
I think lenovo has started to do onsite, but not sure how good is that..

I dealt with them before. Received DFO unit. (Dell Factory Outlet). Complained to them and received refund.

If you want DFO you can order yourself from here: http://www.dell.com/learn/my/en/mydhs1/cam.../dell-outlet-my

A550jk only 4gb ram where as 7447 8gb ram?
I prefer asus because it's more hardy.. Have been using one since 5 years ago and it's still in good condition just that the spec already outdated and can't support my work now so need a more canggih one.

Dell on the other hand I heard reviews from friends that it's quite flimsy and it's casing can be damaged easily.. Eventho they do have good after sale service.

@myway1985
Your dell unit is new or DFO unit? Hehe

I think his unit is new 1.. not DFO..
If you want solid, go Dell latitude.. that 1 is damn solid and durable.. My boss been using for.. 8 years ? still can run current program without any failure 

huh?  did u msg me? or u referring to others?

Hi guys...Any workstation laptop to introduction? budget around rm5000

Ya ke ? Melaka campus still okay. Mostly is international student who is using Mac, cause of its world wide warranty. Most Mac user do hackintosh one. Seldom see people stick to only Mac OS. Too limited liao.
People want spend on Mac we also can't do much what. Just hope when actual performance we won't regret lo.

Well I agree most of your point.
1. I got no idea there is discount for MAC machine, I only know of Dell giving this promotion.
2. Well it is good under normal usage, when under load it is not necessary good. But most probably also around 3-5 hours right ?
3. Yes I know this. No need to rephrase it to me again
4. I DIDN'T MENTION about gaming at all.
5. Well for me 2kg and 1.35kg is not huge different. The laptop now is mostly using aluminum unlike last time.
6. Agree
We're talking about MBA aka Macbook Air. I agree Pro is quite good, but most developers are using it is because you NEED an Apple machine to be able to develop Apps for iOS/OSX platform. You also need an Apple Developer ID. Application based developers are using it because it is a requirement for developing Apps on iOS/OSX platform. People tends to go native development (purchase mac) instead of x-platform solution like XAMARIN because in long run it will be cheaper.
If you're developing things related to server, mostly people will avoid Mac and use other stronger machine like Thinkpad or Latitude or even workstation (with Linux as OS / Windows).
When you're performing stress test or penetration test on your server or application, you definitely won't use Mac most of the time.

Well you have a strong point though. No need to argue more as different person have different perspective. Thanks for clarifying to me on the goods on Mac, I meant it

thank you for the suggestion..do you think dell xps13 9343 is worth the price?

For normal usage yes, but with that price you can opt for better spec.

Well I just told him there is possibly better option. XPS 13 is indeed good, especially its accessories. But with that price range, you may get inspiron (almost full spec).
Weight may be heavier, but in actual life, you hardly will notice it. 2.5kg vs 2kg is not that much different when you're using backpack.

If he is willing to sacrifice his money for the extra light weight, then it is okay for me also, go ahead
The SSD will soon be limited if he/she is going to install stuffs for like 2 or 3 years above. I think if you're using the laptop for 2yrs above, you will surely try to install stuffs right ? And the spec won't last him too long too.

Just my opinion, you can ignore it

Thanks bro..I valued your opinion...right now I'm thinking between xps13touch or ru14 pro..more prefer ru14 pro but lack of backlit keyboard

Well Inspiron is just an example. There are obviously better option.
I do agree. Just I got different opinion only. The heat, you won't realize any different in real life if you compare it with a 4th gen cpu (assuming you're using same laptop to compare), except you're using software to view the exact temperature.
Storage wise it depends on user. But you can't guarantee that the user won't want to play game in the future. So it is better to get larger storage capacity in case you need it. (I used up 100GB without installing any games, even steam is not installed)
XPS 13 is still using 4gb onboard RAM, I think it will soon be limited though. Cause with Windows 8.1, it already consume about 1GB - 2GB of ram. If you deactivate those services running on Windows 8.1 to save up more ram, you defeated the purpose of using Windows 8.1 then. Not to mention Windows 10 may requires similar or more since there is Cortana coming along with it.
Like I said, I'm not disagreeing with anyone. I just want to let TS know there are better option which he/she could consider also

Yea I agree. I think for general usage there is no need to be too worry about heat generation. Since you won't be doing anything intense so HDD or SSD is not a worry though. Only the speed of read/write. I personally use quite a lot of software so 128GB is definitely not enough for me.
I would still go for i7 at least since I'm willing to spend that much already. Except for the SSD, I feel that spending so much for a slim design laptop without good spec is not worth it.

P/S: Yea, I facepalm-ed at the new macbook. Now Apple is even selling the external USB-C adapter, "You want to use USB ? purchase it from us" It is like Dell XPS 13 (not sure Dell give the accessory for free or need to purchase separately)
