alright bro, inspiron 7548 it is then

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : 2.5k, might be able to expand to 3k if the upgrades are worthy enough
3. Usage : Study, heavy word docs, occasional sims 4 and goat simulator
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14", blue variant colour is sort of a must, cd drive and quite light to travel around campus.

Currently planning to buy my laptop at karamunsing, if theres a good deal online, might as well have it delivered if the prices are that big.

Thank you very much

Dell xps 13 how much?

Hello. I want to ask whether the graphic card GTX 965M 2GB DDR5 is more powerful than GTX 960M 4GB DDR5. I play only FIFA series. Thanks.

1. ASUS
2. RM2100 max and below
3. DOTA 2 (i want that to be high setting with good fps maybe 60)
4. 14" above

please recommend. T_T

Dell Inspiron 7548T this is can add in your list. have 2 version (that is i7 version)

that lenovo and probook, not sure available in malaysia or not. seems 15" thinkpad is not for malaysian market. unless you willing buy from singapore. but dont think its a good choice as RM is very weak.

image processing software usage, i suggest u go for i7.
hybrid hard disk / ssd, its better go for ssd...

if you want consider 14", then,
Lenovo U41-70 Ultrabook 14” FHD , i7-5500U , 4GB , 256GB SSD , N16V-GM 2G , W8.1 : RM3100/-
since your budget is not a prob, can use some money to add up the ram

pls do check the review too ya..

sshd = hybrid

sshd - solid state hybrid drive.. so... its hybrid storage but it does not give ssd-like performance..

compare those 2... yoga have much better screen because it comes with IPS display. but in terms of storage, u41 is better.

yes.. u41 is available. since you using it for photoshop, editing video, i think its better you go for i7 series. u41 is good deal too... if have remaining money, upgrade the ram. plus ssd is a bonus. if you have a lots of things.. can use external hard disk to save movies or any other things.. 256gb is not that much. so mostly your work will consume a lots of space. external hard disk will help you manage your file

range between rm3700~rm4999
have variant type. and display also different

yes, 965 is powerful than 960...

limitted budget, i dont think you will get fps 60.. only low setting can. mid also hardly to get.

Preferred Screen Size
Portability, storage size and battery life to be considered as it would be brought along places.

Hope professionals here would able to recommend some models for consideration. Thanks!!

Thanks for responding

The 15.6" screen is kindda a must. The inspiron 7548 is really appealing.

I have two concerns though :
1- I wounder how much they would cost nowadays
2- How are they in terms of durability, I am planning to make it a long-term investment

Thank you again

hihi, need users' opinion here.
im going to hongkong for further studies this year and im torn between asus g501jw and z5, since asus has international warranty and Z5 has more reliable quality, and im very tempted by z5 ._.
so which would you guys recommend?

Lenovo U41-70 14” FHD , i5-5200U , 4GB , 256GB SSD , N16V-GM 2G , W8.1 : RM2499/-
*try check with lenovo, either they provide international warranty or not.

the only not covered international warranty as they stated are


else look at this
Asus K401LB- FA003H 14" , i5-5200U , 4GB , 1TB , GT940 2GB , 1.65 kg , W8.1 : RM2499+/-

please check the review of the notebook you want to buy to avoid problems in the future.
if you think want to buy in taiwan, as RM still better standing than NTD(taiwan dollar), then might be worth to buy in taiwan. as anything happen, easy to solve.

feel free to ask

yes.. so far.. that was in your budget and your requirement.
