U greedy oso ah... 3k wan full HD... very hard.. unless 4th gen

Then refresh i suppose since you don't game. Then again the CPU might be lower in GHz.

Lenovo (One of the best quality laptop.)
Thinkpad T440P 20AWA1JSMY – 14” / i7-4710MQ / 4GB / 1TB 16GB MSSD / Intel HD4600 / Pre W7+W8.1 Pro : RM3940/-

Lenovo thinkpad is one of the best in terms of quality and dell one of the best after sale service. Since you dont game on laptops, dont worry much about the heat. But if it feels warmer after using for a long time then open up the laptop to clean the dust off. Also, try to increase the capacity of the RAM to at least 8Gb .

Essentially the business grade laptop is good. Latitude, Thinkpad etc. Extra budget you can change HDD to SSD or increase RAM or get another monitor for your coding.

My bad. I thought you were gonna game. Was in a hurry last night so my apologies......

Happy hunting buddy.

Sure but you are limited by your budget and the screen size will be smaller to 14inch.

Feel free to ask any questions.

If for both option and seeing how you would use them. Get the Hp better after sales (From my experience). Since you dont game, heat wont be much of an issue. But if it gets warmer after long use just open up the laptop and dust the dust off from the heatsink and fan.

ya, from mid end to high end. Wouldnt really want a high end straight.

Could get a mid end then upgrade it. If that way is better.

So the choices left are MSI GE60, MSI GE62, Illegear Q5.
Will look about it.
The lenovo T440P and dell latitude is only 14". Preferably 15" and above, below 17", considering my laptop bag size is small.

Dell XPS15 is good, but it over budget already, 5K and below only.
It offer i5 too, should I stick with i7 since I always complain computers are slow?

I quote u 5k n below wat..

How come price so big difference one..

Dell XPS15-2081SG-W8 15.6"
i5-4200H,
1TB,
32GB SSD,
8GB,
W8.1
RM5,283

DELL NEW XPS 15 LAPTOP
4th Gen Intel Core i7-4712HQ Processor(6M,up to
3.3GHz)
Genuine Windows 8.1 Home 64bit
1TB 5400 rpm SATA Hard Drive+32GB mSATA Solid

Maybe the website not updated.
But anyway, optical drive is important for me, use it quiet frequently too.

But still thinking of Illegear Q5

Clearance unit....

still hunting, still hunting, not forgetting MSI also.

Lol... wan me poison u wif another touch screen? Inspiron 5548 i7 full HD touch.. I7-5500u, 8GB ram, 1TB hybrid HDD, 15inch touch.. but no optical.. RM2899

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.

1 more I not sure still available.. Inspiron 7746 17'full HD. 16gb ram.. RM3999 got dvd

would even not consider this.
gt 750m is too far behind from the gtx 960m offered in the MSI and Illegear.
it would be silly to spend that much for such an inferior spec as the XPS15 is at one of the most awkward spot (not as mobile as XPS13 and not as powerful as other performance laptops despite its weight/size)

i would get neither.
if you want battery life i would suggest consulting this list
http://blog.laptopmag.com/all-day-strong-l...sting-notebooks

note: the HP Spectre x360 from the current tests have better battery life than the XPS as HP worked closely with Microsoft for really good optimization

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.

U not selling anything u dunno my worries... there r brutal PPL out there...I hv client who break the hinge of the aw17 on the first week... n claim this obvious human error is a pain... not from dell but the PPL who abuse it... unless u tell me xps13 hinge stronger than aw17...

All right. Seems you have already have some in your mind. Computer slow because of HDD or RAM.

If you have the budget to do so. Swap the HDD to SSD, you'll never go back to HDD (This i can promise ). RAM (for me at least) minimum 8Gb well with the way your using your laptop might as well go for the maximum allowed by the laptop.

For me i would consider MSI GE62 and Illegear. As the older model GE60 doesn't really have a good cooling system.

Now again happy hunting my friend.

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

Dell Vostro 5480

Any other to recommend?

Tat the best from dell de... Inspiron new 1 crazy price after gst

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.
