Sifus pls reccomend,

1. Preferred Brand
anything will be fine

2. Budget
RM2500-3000

3. Usage
a) 20-50 tabs on Google chrome + 2-5 adobe pdf reader opened + Spotify + 1-2 excel. Everything at the same time
b) not going to play vidya games
c) Movies

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
a) screen size 13-14
b) processor(as long I can use without lag for another 2 years ok already)
c) RAM 4GB minimum
d) graphic card, doesn't matter. Not playing video games anyways, as long can play 1080p video ok oredi
e) LIGHTWEIGHT (1KG-1.6kg)
f) 256gb ssd

5. What I have in my mind, but can add some suggestion too
a) Dell Vostro 5480(touch) RM2808, RM2543 non touch
pros: 1.53kg, i5 5200U, fancy graphic card
cons: 4gb ram, 500GB 5400 rpm SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache(I want full SSD)
not sure: how many slow of rams and also if the ram and hdd is soldered inside if not maybe I want to buy an extra RAM and change to SDD D

b) ASUS UX305
pros: VERY LIGHT, 8GB RAM, looks cool
cons: Pentium M


tl;dr I want a 13-14 inch ultrabook that does not lag when I open 30-50 chrome tabs

I suggest increase the amount of RAM instead of 4GB because of the amount of tabs your are using. I say 8GB and above (i don't even think 8Gb of RAM is enough for you. Get a second opinion on this.)

thinking of getting this and then sell the 4gb ram and get an 8gb one

Vostro line up is a budget business class laptop. So, i think it is fine but doesn't have the SSD that you required.

How about this? Some extra choices but Asus after sales service is very bad.

EDIT : ASUS proc will not be as powerful as the DELL.

EDIT EDIT: Just realise your edit. Haha, if you get the non touch version of the DELL, the extra RM500 you can get yourself a 256 GB SSD and upgrade the RAM but will be over budget abit >>RM3000.

Is it light?

Weight is the problem for him. Max is 1.6 KG. He is interested in the DELL Vostro 5480.

2.4kg.. it won't kill u...

It is around 2.3 KG for 7447.

I don't think Core M performance is good for your multi tasking work load looking at benchmarks. So i suggest the DELL.

I know.. but vostro 5480 almost cannot upgrade.. n I can tell u the heat will make it slow... does it even hv a fan in tat thin casing...

u n y series worst in multitasking... m is better.. but core m is slow..

If i'm not mistaken. He can upgrade the HDD to SSD and the RAM to max 8GB. Should be sufficient but not quite sure since the amount of tabs he is opening at once. If he don't mind some increase in weight to around 2KG then he has alot more option to consider.

If not mistaken again the Vostro is using the ULV proc. So the heat management should be OK but looking at how thin it is, it might get hot abit but not to the extreme.

I always thought Atom < M < i3 < i5 < i7.

ram max 1 x 8GB kua... dell not working todaY. Can't ask them.. but I always against vostro... wif tat price tag I rather take latitude.. more tahan.. 2800RM.. I can get latitude i7 de

Post the latitude model and spec with budget of RM3000. Looks interesting. Yes latitude is better from what I have read.

Tat is speed rite...clock speed of coz I5 better... But ULV known bad for multitasking... tat y I say m better for "multitasking" only... but speed slow...

I wish.. but my inventory only got 2 x aw17, 3 x xps15, 2 x Inspiron 7447, 2 x Alienware x51

Latitude e7440 I was selling RM3200 max... e6540 / 6440 wif ati oso 3k only

I don't think it is about the clock speed. You can find benchmarks for i5 and i7 with same clock speed but i7 performs better.
