still hunting, still hunting, not forgetting MSI also.

i7, dual core....

but 8GB ram with touch screen seems pretty nice, price also still ok.

ok, kena poison dy.

Maybe will need to do a new requirement. 

If ppl have tested it out to be solid (Linus even put it overnight under the rain despite it not being waterproof and it still works), I believe it is totally solid.
Better build than many of the machines that are currently being sold.

@myway
no need to ridicule one of the best laptops of 2015 just because you are not selling it 
especially your epic claim of Dell's 7000 series having good quality despite the horrible flex just because you sell it.

Budget 2k mainly for work and web browsing; preference is light weight

Dell Vostro 5480

Any other to recommend?

there is a difference when calling something bad vs comparing it with something which is much bigger, much heavier of a different class (comparing apple with oranges).
once again, it said nothing about XPS13-2015 being a badly built model and also how it is inferior to other machines.
how someone abuse their product != build quality of the product. how you think there is a correlation there is beyond me.
I mentioned Linus as one of the reputable person (any PC enthusiast would know him for his work over the years) who actually test it out to be good.

asking one not to consider/ buy a brilliant product just because of human abuse is plain 
might as well ask everyone to get a Thinkpad X1 Carbon as it survive a drop test from the ceiling (if you dunno this, google it).

since you mentioned I am not selling a product, I am as neutral as possible here without any bias as I am stand to gain/ lose nothing from my comments.

Hi, anyone can help me figure out laptop for my mom. For work and surfing. Work as in microsoft office etc, not those 3d editing or whatnot.

I don't have a preferred brand, but looking at Dell since good CS, so it wouldnt be much of a hassle for her to repair/claim warranty.

Budget < 3k.

Currently looking at Vostro and Inspiron 7000 series, any other recommendations?

Thanks for the suggestion.

If I may ask, as you're suggesting Latitude over Vostro, whats the difference between them?

Yup.. There is. And after gst.. The prise stupidly raise high..  Haissshhh..

any idea how much this model cost in Msia? long time no survey liao.

yes.. same, but singapore have a lots of variety than marehsia 

i think you can purchase illegear z5...  much better than asus in case anything happen.
as quoted in their website. so i think illegear warranty also cover for singapore.
these notebook within your budget range.and dell is the best warranty support. do consider lenovo too..

Dell Inspiron 7447 – 14”
Lenovo Y50- 15.6” FHD

oh, no need liao    i build my desktop o'd... and carry it anywhere i go. even its heavy and mega bulky     

  then illegear is the best choice for u. buy in malaysia.. bring bek to singapore, if amything happen, can ship to marehsia bek.. have u ever heard Gigabyte gaming laptop? Ouros? Origin? Aftershock?  and lots more..

ya,.. wat to do... RM4k.. can make powerfull gaming desktop.. 

Singapore too expensive.
illegear(googling )? what brand is this?lol my 1st time getting a new laptop here..haahhah. actually i don like laptop, but no choice.

aftershock is singapore brand after all..

compare illegear and aftershock, which 1 u will choose? 

I LOL'ed at your reply.. LOL

aftershock m-15 already SGD1559..  while he can get better spec than aftershock m-15. + add another hdd.. or add sshd
if Alienware give good specs, no doubt, i also go for alienware.. but nowadays alienware is not last time alienware. alienware era has ended for past few years. (well, for me.)

can deal with him.. ask anything especially warranty matter. PrinceJ

Hi Guys,
1. Preferred brand - Any with good support service
2. Budget - 4k
3. Basic usage - gaming (cod),heavy web browsing,entertainment
4. Screen size - 14-16

When buying a laptop it is crucial to understand the reason you are buying it for and what function you want. If you are thinking about presentation, we all know Apple is the best. But as for gaming and compatibility with other software getting others is more beneficial.

I, myself use a very powerful laptop, this is because of entertainment, high end gaming, and also I like the mobility. If you are looking for performance laptop always check the temperature. Now the new graphic card gtx980 is cooler compare to the previous one. You only need one of it, but if you are more adventurous you can have sli gtx980, basically 2 of it. Most important is still the heat. Find one that it doesn't get hot easierly as we know it will reduce the performance. But of course the price is also very expensive.

Cheers.
