Hi, anyone can help me figure out laptop for my mom. For work and surfing. Work as in microsoft office etc, not those 3d editing or whatnot.

I don't have a preferred brand, but looking at Dell since good CS, so it wouldnt be much of a hassle for her to repair/claim warranty.

Budget < 3k.

Currently looking at Vostro and Inspiron 7000 series, any other recommendations?
*
agree with getting Dell as their warranty approach is really suitable for the less tech savvy crowd like your mum.
vostro would be a suitable one being thin and light (entry ultrabook class)

Thanks for the suggestion.

If I may ask, as you're suggesting Latitude over Vostro, whats the difference between them?

If i remember correctly, Vostro is entry level business laptop while latitude is the kinda the flagship so to speak.

Latitude more lasting compared to vostro.

Yes it is pretty but medium specs. With the budget you can get better but if you like it that much and have the $$ to get it. Then by all means go get it. It can game pretty well with the 860m but of course don't expect ultra settings etc.

Yup.. Price bit to high with the spec.. But still.. Pretty one..
Btw.. I think i'll going for Asus G551jm.. But the 860m 4gb one already out of stock.. the coming new stock is 860m 2gb one.. Is it better i get the 2gb one where i googled.. the 4gb one kinda...'useless'..and price difference quite huge too.. Extra $ i may use it to upgrade ram to full 16gb or maybe a ssd.. Or any else upgrade i should...

Yup, for normal 1080p gaming 4Gb is a bit much but for 2Gb you might need to tone down some settings for some games. As for the extra $$ , yes it is better in adding RAM (should you need it) or get an SSD.

Most of the time the performance of the GPU is the bottleneck before even fully utilizing the max vRAM.

Would be guessing the stuff used for the laptop and/or lenovo is able to sell at lower price.

EDIT : The optical drive. One is included while the other is not. Did not realize this earlier doh.gif doh.gif
