Hi, I am looking for a laptop for home use. Basically just do some internet browsing and photo edit and design work. Not going for MAC due to the pricing.
Budget below RM3k. Did HP and Acer after sales support is good? IBM laptop still the best laptop ever? (I am kinda outdated about what's new in the market and etc) Thanks. |

Anyone have experience with Dell Vostro 5480? Powered by Windows 8.1 Single Language, 5th Generation Intel® Core i7-5500U Processor, 4GB memory & 1TB hard drive, NVIDIA® GeForce® 830M 2GB DDR3.

Unsure 5480 is still touch screen or not.Dell Vostro 5470 Business Multi-Touch Screen Ultrabook (4th i5 2.7Ghz,500GB,32GB SSD,4GB,Nvidia GT740M-2GB D3,14" Touch LED,Win 8.1 OS) - Free Dell Targus Backpack For Rm1999, seem value for money with 32 GB SSD, touch screen, lightweight, I5, got GPU somemore. Any known problem for this GC? Does 1 Year Local Manufacturer Warranty mean warranty from dell? can i purchase extend warranty after that? I know lazada have many bad review, so i will proceed with COD to be safe.  |

QUOTE(onnying88 @ Mar 24 2015, 10:01 AM) Current 5480 model is non touch but it's have better network card that solve the 5470 wifi problem. Just saw in Dell web site and there is a model of 5480 came with touch screen. But lower spec: Powered by Windows 8.1 Single Language, 5th Generation Intel® Core i5-5200U Processor, 4GB memory, 500GB hybrid hard drive & touch enable.Can I change the 5470 network card outside? How much it cost if can? http://www.dell.com/my/p/vostro-14-5480-laptop/pd?flyingspaghettimonster=PD_OC |
