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..
*
I don't think you can find one, unless used. How old is this vostro? I think it is a good offer because the retail price for this model is Rm2149 before. Actually you can just swap WiFi card with another one.

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

Also can try look at this:

Lenovo Flex 2-14 5944-2128 - White – 14” FHD Touch / i3-4030U / 4GB / 500GB / GT820M 2G / W8.1

Hi, Thanks for the recommendation.

But I cant find that model in Acer Website  sweat.gif

Is it old/discontinued model ?
*
Nope. Maybe they didn't update the website. I prefer to check laptop availability at Techhypermart website. Here's the link: http://www.techhypermart.com/notebooks/ace...intel-w8-1.html

Then again...
If that PC is not gonna be used for gaming? But just spreadsheets, youtubes, and accounting software and surfing?

Then stick with Intel. Intel has better performance per clock compared to amd, cooler and probably longer battery runtime.

Need some help here. Is Nvidia GTX 850M better than GTX 950M ? I tried to check the benchmark performance on notebookcheck but some games are higher fps in 850M and vice versa.

Pls check whether it is ddr3 or ddr5 version. I think the difference is very little.

Thanks man,the laptop you recommended has great specs, but the Inspiron 7447 seems to be too heavy for me, I prefer lighter laptop. I did a bit research myself and I find Lenovo Y40 and Y50 to be kind of good? What do you think about that laptop? I have never bought any laptops from Lenovo so I'm wondering if it is a reliable laptop for playing games like watchdog and gta?
*
Dell 7447 only 2.3kg loh,. Lightweight laptop normally does not have good graphic card.

Y40 will struggle due to dual core processor

Y50 is good, but actually it is heavier due to bigger screen
