If I'm in SG, sure go for Aftershock. Cause it most probably will be cheaper. Aftershock price converted to MYR is also very competitive, some model even cheaper than ILLEGEAR also.

aftershock m-15 already SGD1559.. while he can get better spec than aftershock m-15. + add another hdd.. or add sshd

DELL.. alienware

if Alienware give good specs, no doubt, i also go for alienware.. but nowadays alienware is not last time alienware. alienware era has ended for past few years. (well, for me.)

1. Preferred Brand
- none, but would avoid unknown brands.

2. Budget
- ~RM2k

3. Usage
- Personal laptop to complement work laptop. Touchscreen. Laminated display preferred. 4GB RAM. Not intend to play games, but must not stutter when watching youtube or when switching between 20 tabs in chrome. HDMI output. Thinner form factor is a plus. Can consider tablets too.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
- =<14" for portability reasons.

My work laptop is HP EliteBook 820 G1, which introduced me to the wonderful world of touchscreen ultrabooks. I would love something like it, but cheaper  laugh.gif

1. Preferred Brand
- none.

2. Budget
- ~RM3k or more also ok laa for wife.

3. Usage
- For office work purposes. Uses power pivot and please don't look down on this function it consumes alot of cpu/mem usage if you are working with million of sales item in record.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
- =<14" & 15.6" only.
*
14" can see dell 7447 that suggested by myway
other option is :
MSI CX61 – 15.6” HD + i7-4712MQ + 8GBram + 1TB + GT940M 2GB D3 + W8.1 : RM2999 [2.4kg]
**if you willing spend more, i suggest max the ram to 16gb.. add another 8gb ram

do keep in mind that. this is quad core processor.. and battery usage is only up to +/- 3hours+ mostly..

Hi guys,  please help me..

Is there any i5 4th gen or above tht cost around than RM1500+-???

Brand: dont care but prefer well known such as dell asus

Budget: RM1500+-

Usage: office work  + heavy web browsing (multiple tabs) + entertainment or light gaming

I only want i5 laptop and expecting snappy performance ..  Had bad experience with i3, very slow..
Max screen is 14in.. Max weight 2kg.. Portability is also important.. If possible also want dedicted gpu..

Please help me sifu..  Someone offered me vostro 5470 rm1550.. But i read a lot this model got unfixed wifi card issue..
*
if dell vostro still in good condition and always wifi card prob.. i suggest you buy the wifi dongle

at most, only can found these 2.. can get lenovo z40..
Lenovo G40-80 14” - i5-5200U , 4GB ram , 500GB , AMD R5-M230 , DOS : RM1630+/-
Lenovo Z40-70 14” FHD - I5-4210U , 4GB , 500GB , GT820 2GB , W8.1 , 1YR warranty : RM1730+/-

QUOTE(Babet @ Apr 23 2015, 02:43 AM)
Vostro 5470 is 2014 model..  I ve read tht changing wifi card doesnt solve the prob..  It is design flaw... Rm1550 is actually for new one.. Not used..

Then can u suggest me the cheapest i5 laptop tht meet my requiremnts above?

How about lenovo s410.. Is it a good model?
Z40 70 with tn panel..  Is tn panel really looks bad?
*
The main advantage using TN panel is that it provides the shortest response times, making them good for gaming. In combination with LED back-lighting, offer high brightness and draw less power.

There is no single type of LCD that is good at everything. What panel type you choose must be a compromise based on how you use the monitor. Gamers will generally be happy with TN panels and their exceptional response time. Photographers and graphic designers should buy an IPS monitor instead...

and usually TN is cheaper than IPS.

i was thinking of something like Asus Transformer Book Flip TP500LB-CJ003H..

i guess nothing is best at both world. and those with ssd combination seems to have limited choices in this range nearly all of em goes above rm5k.
*
that asus is using dual core processor i5 with ULV type, thus, laptop runs on battery usage also longer. ssd is very expensive.. thats why.. the only option is hybrid type.. sweat.gif

Hi, need for suggestion

2. Budget

3. Usage
- Personal laptop for my son study

4. Preferred laptop/screen size

try bargain for this. might less 2k too. such as buying w/o free gift.
Asus A555LJ : 15.6” - i5-5200U + 4GB O.B + 1TB /+ GT920M 2GB + W8.1 : RM2040
Acer Aspire E5-571G – 15.6” + i5-5200 + 4GB + 1TB + Nvidia 840 2GB + W8.1 : RM2030

Dell Inspiron 3542 – 15.6” + i5-4210U + 4GB + 1TB + GT820M 2GB + W8 : RM1950
Lenovo G50-80 15.6” - i5-5200U + 4GB + 1TB +AMD R5-M330 + W8.1 : RM1920

[attachmentid=4422996]

this seems to be a bargain. what's lacking is to swap the hdd out and install windows into it. Any idea if brightstar does this kind of service?
*
hmm.gif the price included 6%gst? very good bargain. if you get the freeDos version.. which dont have operating system, then... its worth change the hhd with hybrid type. i dont think brightstar will do that service.

that 1t is 5400rpm type... standard

Hi,  many thanks for the reply..

Last question..  Is Lenovo a reliable brand?

I only bought dell and asus laptop for the past years,  have very good experience with dell..  A little bad experience with asus bcos of slow warranty claim..  But still satisfied...

So is lenovo a good brand like asus or dell? Especially its budget laptop..
*
can say, it is good brand.. service after sales.. seems like a more or less the same with asus malaysia laugh.gif only happen in malaysia so far..

However, this brand still gets the odd Best Buy, and i like its innovative approach to laptop/tablet hybrids and their keyboard than asus.. much comfortable to type.. nod.gif

Yea. But IIRC there is also one thread in this forum teaching people to mod their laptop to use different gpu. Not sure is PC gpu or mobile gpu.
But it is also doing similar stuff I think, damn chio.

For ncx, does he use custom BIOS ? Too technical for me liao.. hahaha

i saw it for myself... the pic and everything for the past 4-5 years ago if not mistaken... its pc gpu.... laugh.gif custom modification... connect to external monitor iinm.. cant remember... rclxub.gif

My Friend bought an MSI and then spoil 3 times, he sent it for repair for like 3 times. process was long. it seems like the MSI resellers and sellers only know how to Market their products but the quality and after sales service are slow and horrible. Do you have any suggestions MSI fanboy?
*
which model is dat? sent repair for 3 times sounds like x da laptop issue. unless picking wrong bad model. i exp handling this kind of issue last time.. whn the customer keep resent back the notebook for repair.. sometimes its the notebook issue.. but.. sometimes.. hw the user use it also influnce the notebook lifespan.
