Hi,

I am looking for a laptop or a tablet/2-in-1

1. Preferred Brand : No preference. Not Illegear as I am overseas throughout the year ( Warranty Issue).
2. Budget : RM1500 and below
3. Usage : Coding, SSH client, Linux
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 13 inch and above

My previous laptop was a rMBP 13 inch. Used for 6 months got problems and returned it. Right now, my plan is to use a laptop/tablet/2-in-1 for SSH to my desktop or as a portable computer for on the go coding/web browsing.

I am looking at Onda Tablets v919 or Teclast Tablets X98 Air 3G
These tablets are Windows / Android dual boot but next next week is Chinese New Year, so I probably can't get them before end of February.

So, right now I am looking for a similar priced or speced laptop/tablet if available.

I would very much like to buy a Freedos laptop because it would save some cost as I will uninstall Windows anyway.
But the problem with my price range is that the laptops have disk drive which means that the laptop is heavy and thick.

HP Stream 13 seems to be a pretty good option but it does not have upgradable RAM. Can you guys suggest me a laptop that is light and cheap? Preferably with flash storage/SSD. Processor no need to be powerful, just that RAM need 4GB and FreeDOS.

Sorry that my inquiry is quite long.

Thank you!

Can recommend a laptop that is 13' or bigger.
Price around RM1500
Brand doesn't matter.

Most important is no DVD burner.

Thank you!
