QUOTE(kidmad @ Apr 22 2015, 11:25 PM) 1. Preferred Brand - none. 2. Budget - ~RM3k or more also ok laa for wife. 3. Usage - For office work purposes. Uses power pivot and please don't look down on this function it consumes alot of cpu/mem usage if you are working with million of sales item in record. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - =<14" & 15.6" only. then u need a quad core wif ur budget i think 7447 only

QUOTE(kidmad @ Apr 23 2015, 10:41 AM) [attachmentid=4422996] this seems to be a bargain. what's lacking is to swap the hdd out and install windows into it.

HDD is not much affected in Ur situation

QUOTE(Babet @ Apr 23 2015, 02:35 PM) Hi, many thanks for the reply.. Last question.. Is Lenovo a reliable brand? I only bought dell and asus laptop for the past years, have very good experience with dell.. A little bad experience with asus bcos of slow warranty claim.. But still satisfied... So is lenovo a good brand like asus or dell? Especially its budget laptop.. Yes but not in Malaysia.. their after sales par wif ASUS...

QUOTE(miong93 @ Apr 23 2015, 10:32 PM) This reminds me of the OLD time modification done by one of the forumer. He also done similar stuff like this, but need to use custom BIOS. Erm.. I think he just liked MSI more than others "No need to be so straight forward, sometimes you know is already enough, no need to say out" IMO, if you game solely on high demanding game and you're those which max almost all settings in games, I don't recommend 4k display. If not it is an option, but if the price different is too much, I will go for FHD. the pic i post from ncx.. he open casing n connect to gt 705.. now he gonna try gt760ti

QUOTE(miong93 @ Apr 23 2015, 10:43 PM) Yea. But IIRC there is also one thread in this forum teaching people to mod their laptop to use different gpu. Not sure is PC gpu or mobile gpu. But it is also doing similar stuff I think, damn chio. For ncx, does he use custom BIOS ? Too technical for me liao.. hahaha ncx88 just plug n play.. but i think only limit to those wif intel gc

QUOTE(DragonRiderStar @ Apr 24 2015, 03:15 PM) Sound like one? Of course lah i'm a MSI Fanboy lah. Love their products and design. Also i'm just here to help since not many people talks about MSI stuff or say about it. Anyway, not all resellers are sifus lah. Some are just regular sales person who know more about the spec rather than the detailed stuff like OS, backup etc etc I even experience before salesman try and sell me PC rig with the FASTEST harddisk speed compared to other brand. 14,000RPM. Waaaahhhh.. Lols! 14k fastest ah... the 15k SAS is wa... tat sales person blur blur 600GB 3.5-inch 15K RPM,6Gbps SAS Hot Plug Hard Drive(qty 6) 6 HDD cost almost 5k.
