Get a higher RPM hard disk would help a bit i suppose....

If you want asus, I think G551JM-DM052H is ok...

Err, i think it is the other way around. IBM sold their thinkpad line up to Lenovo. Lenovo is still a company that is based in Beijing....

I went to ILLEGEAR website and found their S-series, R-series, D-series and Q-series all have 17" models. What are the differences and how do I choose?

You can ask directly to the Illegear team.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's too expensive lar. Asked my boss the budget is not that high, so I survey a bit and filtered my choices to items below, can you guys advise if these are good choices or not? Cuz I filtered based on specification I needed only, not sure about the laptop review like services, durable or not, easily heat or not etc.

1) HP Pavilion 14-ab024tx, RM2808, i7, 4GB RAM , 1 TB SATA HDD, Nvidia® GeForce® 940M, 14", 1.96kg.
http://www.techhypermart.com/hp-pavilion-1...v-940m-w8-1.htm
2) Lenovo U41 (never use this brand of laptop before, not sure about the quality) - RM 2861, i7, 4GB RAM, 256G SATA SSD, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT920M 14", 1.68kg.
http://www.techhypermart.com/lenovo-u41-70...6v-gm-w8-1.html

3) ASUS ZENBOOK UX303LN, RM 3868, i7, 12GB RAM, 1TB SATA HDD+24GB SSD, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 840M, 13.3", 1.5KG.
http://www.techhypermart.com/asus-zenbook-...t840m-w8-1.html
4) Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G, RM 3550, i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB + 8GB SSHD, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 860M, 15.6", 2.4kg
http://www.techhypermart.com/acer-aspire-v...x860m-w8-1.html
Out of these options, Asus Zenbook is the one meet my budget and requirement, means I dont have to do extra upgrade to meet my requirement. But I am not sure if this laptop is ok or not, never see anyone recommend it for AUTOCAD.

Option 1 and 2 are my compromised options if option 3 really sucks, but will upgrade them from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM if possible, do you guys know how much normally cost if I want to upgrade to 8GB RAM? Also, how much cost to get a 256gb SSD or SSHD?

Option number 4 is my last choice since it is so heavy (2.4kg), but just keep as a backup plan.

Thanks in advanced all sifus, sorry for the long query.
*
Well, do note slim/ultrabook has soldered RAM so you might not be able to upgrade it and it will run slower in autocad because of the ulv processor. For autocad just like what pandera999 has said, the best is the Acer. SSD for now is around RM2/1GB but do look for LiteON SSD model it is much lower in price.

Thanks both. notworthy.gif

Sorry haha, I initially put budget as below 5k, after check with boss is below 4k. sweat.gif  sweat.gif
Illegear is too expensive for me I think, the Q3 RM4299 is without operating system, if need them to install need add RM300++ = RM 4600++ alr, too pricey.  shocking.gif

In that case, I think I may have to compromise on the weight.  cry.gif  cry.gif  In that case now I have two options:

1) LENOVO Y50-70-2223, ~ RM 3900 (from lowyat trade post),  i7-4720HQ, 16GB, 1TB HDD+ 8GBSSD, NVIDIA® GeForce® 960M , 15.6", 2.5kg, warranty 2 years or

2) Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G, RM 3999 (for ACER official website),  i7-4720HQ, 8GB, 1TB + 8GB SSHD, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M, 15.6", 2.4kg, warranty 1 year.

Personally more prefer Acer V Nitro cuz it got better review in after sales services. But with similar price, I can get 16gb for LENOVO, so..any comment?

I may want to upgrade the HDD with 256GB SSD, as I am really noob in computer stuff, is this one compatible with both laptops above? PX-SCS-256L9S (NEW) - LITEON 900S 256GB SSD SATA3 - RM 380
*
Well,

Lenovo has QC problems and bad screen

While Acer has better screen. QC seems to be ok.

Also, yes the SSD should work with the laptops.

pandera, the RM 3074 for GL552 price, any recommendation which seller to go to?
By the way, whats the difference between DM014H and DM174H?

Also What does M.2 Slot allow you to do? Does it let you run a SSD and HDD together?

QUOTE(pandera999 @ Jul 18 2015, 09:46 AM)
can consider this seller.. try browsing around.. there is always be trusted seller. dont go for undisputed tag seller  laugh.gif
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3551766

M.2 slot means... hdd is using ssd cache.. kinda turbo charge for hdd.. you can imagine it like dat  laugh.gif  boost up hdd performance actually.

i din see any any much different. i think must be hdd capacity or any equip with ssd cache or not lo.
*
M.2 SSD is just another variant for connection. And is good for laptop because it is small size.

Not entirely true.

Not necessary m.2 ssd only used as a cache. As long as you configure it properly and motherboard supports it. You can get a 512 gb m.2 ssd and use it as the main drive and/or with a hdd as secondary drive.
