Hi, which is better?

Asus X554LJ or X550DP? The X554LJ has Intel Core i5 with Nvidia GT920M, but a seller in Lowyat Plaza recommended me the X550DP with AMD A8 with AMD Radeon Dual Graphics? Which should I go with for the long journey? The seller offered me similar price for both laptops with upgrade to 8GB RAM included.

The important things are, whether it can run GTA V with no issue and has good battery life or at least acceptable for a Windows laptop. Please help. Thanks.

Hi there, I need some suggestion :

1. Preferred Brand - Any, prefer if it has a good after sale services
2. Budget - RM3,4k Max
3. Usage - For Study at Uni + Gaming ( Dota 2 mostly) + watch youtube
4. Preferred screen size - 13 - 15

I prefer mobile and not easy to overheat notebook cause I'm a heavy user (use laptop a lot).

Thank you

x550DP is quad core and mid end range graphics.. its much better than intel gt920m, i think same dual radeon = gt940m.. but, i bet... might drain battery since it is A8 processor, same as intel quad core i7.. i have hp with same specs.. as latest games, its better to get nvidia card... nowdays games, nvdia card really advantage.. due to their monopoly in games industry.. kinda dirty competition if you read nvdia scandal...

max 4k? then, dota 2 mostly.. either you will get Dell 7447 14" gtx850m or Asus GL552 gtx950m...
even asus is not that good for sale services but, you can consider it... the product is reliable just warranty is the problem.

while dell is 14" but the sales service is superb.

if you can stretch up to 4.2k.. you can get Illegear z5. (not forcing, if only if) but it just freeDos. that is best bangs for bucks. with gtx960m + good heat disperse... its a beast machine

there is lenovo y50 with gtx960m within your budget. if want consider lenovo. take the y50 with gtx960m. as 860m suffering a certain of issue.

microsoft surface 3 is expensive than zenbook + it has better processing power.

meanwhile zenbook have low processing power processor M in order to increase battery life. supported with ssd make it reliable enough to do everyday computing. just that, it might not be suitable become tablet. its not convertible notebook like surface 3.

how much is your budget? if you plan not using it as a tablet... then, zenbook. if you want it to be tablet... then get surface 3

I see. Thanks for your tip.

My budget is around RM2500.

Thank you for your suggestion good sir

But what I mean by 3,4 RM is 3.400 RM

4k is way beyond my budget

Right now I'm still at Jakarta, and next month I will start study at KL, so I need to know where to find this laptop in KL.

Thank you

I think the Windows 8 trial version is limited to the Enterprise edition and is valid for only 90 days. Also, note that that is one of the few editions not eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 10.

if your usage need to be portable and carry here and there. and use it as table. can take microsoft surface. else, take zenbook. but please check the review before purchase. especially issues that common facing by the user. either it will effect you or not.
