Hi everyone, I am a newbie over lowyat and just managed to find out this website through Google recently
I have been struggled these few days to opt for a suitable laptop for me and hopefully ts and other members could help me out to look for a suitable laptop/ultrabook as a going-to-be university student
Here are the details :
1. Preferred Brand :
Asus, Dell (for its on site service ) or anything
2. Budget : RM2k to RM3.5k
3. Usage : For university projects, movies, and light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 13" to 15"
+ =< 2kg
Uhm, and not to forget,

is it touchscreen or backlit keyboard important for us as a student during our university life?
Hope to get some opinions on this issue.
Thank you in advance
backlit or touchscreen is optional. its kinda not good thing to do ur things in the dark even have backlit keyboard. u will had strain ur eyes. sooner or later, u will realised your eye sight getting blur when see distance object... not good practice.
Asus TP500LB-DN002H 15.6” FHD ~ RM3000+/-

hello mates..
i need a simple help:
1. Preferred Brand: ASUS but other brands will work as well
2. Budget: less than 1k
3. Usage: documents, normal web browsing, youtube and maybe watching HD movies
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 11.6"
so basically i'm looking for a simple for doing assignments and so on.
but i need a long battery live (preferably over 6 hours)
i've been searching lately and i found the asus x205 and the HP stream 11 are good devices but the 32gb storage is just too little for me
i also like the ASUS x200ma but the battery life is just too short!
please help if you know any other models that would suit my needs..
thanks in advance
- also if the ram is easily upgradeable that would be nice but not important

hp stream 11 did offer 64gb if not mistaken.
asus also have 64GB version which cost RM899+/-
Both the RAM and eMMC storage are soldered and NOT upgradable

Hi, need recomendation on laptop selection for my nephew as she is going to college soon.
Budget: RM 2k max
Personal preferences: i5 for processor, with optical drive, screen 14 inch or bigger, with OS.
Thanks.
try purchase w/o free gift. might be less than exact price. 15" might be heavy and she seems gonna move around.. so i guess 14" is consider standard size for college use. not too heavy

Hello guys, I need recommendation on laptop which can run software like autocad smoothly and maybe some light gamings (dota 2, csgo etc)
My preferred specs:
Any brand, budget up to 5k, up to 13 inch, preferrably light as I will be moving around a lot.
Thanks in advance for the advice
the best option u have is. not sure if Illegear still sell this unit or not. but this is the best option so far. with autocad demand a lot on processor core and hyper-trading.
Illegear Q3 13"
13.3" Full HD Anti-glare Display IPS Wide Color Gamut & Viewing Angle (1920 x 1080)
i7-4710MQ
Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M 2GB GDDR5 with Optimus Technology (Maxwell)
8GB DDR3L RAM 1600MHz - 1 X 8GB
