1. Preferred Brand: None, hope that sifus can suggest some so that I can compare...
2. Budget: 2k-3k
3. Usage: Mostly Uni Stuff:Assignment, Movie, Web Surfing, MatLab, Gaming like Dota 2 & CS:GO
4. Preferred laptop/screen size:-

Hi all,just started my uni life few weeks ago, and I think it is the time to get myself a laptop and I'm wondering if you really need one for your uni's life, try not to spend my parents' money as much as possible...
I'm an Engineering student and not sure whether is there any software I'm gonna use in my uni life but so far I know that I'm gonna use MatLab...which I don't know what the hell is this thing...
Also can sifus suggest a laptop powerful enough to play D2 and CS:GO smoothly??I don't expect high resolution gaming using laptop but a decent one should be enough....
I'm not sure which screensize I want since I don't own a laptop before...
Hopefully can get an answer from you all soon...

Have a read haha 

I suppose that's because at the same price range, people would prefer going for the Flex 2-15 that comes with a FullHD Screen + hybrid drive
However, never buy a notebook solely based on the main specs... if you like the HP Pavilion (after you have tried it out), and don't need a FullHD screen, then its worth considering 
The most important thing is that you like it after all, you will be stuck for it for several years to come~
Some notebooks we will never get to try, especially higher end business notebooks.. but still, most of us will never consider getting those notebooks as well, so it doesn't really matter.

Most of us will be happy enough with premium-line notebooks for everyday tasks: They perform well enough and are reliable too~

As for gaming devices, apart from those close to or more than RM10k, they can be found as long as you try

Anyway, mind sharing your budget and usage? 

1. Preferred Brand: any reputable good brand.
2. Budget: max RM2.5k
3. Usage: light gaming (fifa, fm, dota 2), microsoft office.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14".

thanks!
