Lenovo Y50-70 FHD - i7-4710HQ Processor, 15.6 FHD TN(SLIM), 8GB RAM, HYBRID 500G 5400RPM SSHD(8G), EXTERNAL 9.5MM DVD/RW, GTX860M DDR5 4GB, DOS, 2 Year Carry In

Lenovo Y50-70 FHD - i7-4710HQ Processor, 8GB RAM, HYBRID 1TB 5400RPM SSHD(8G), EXTERNAL 9.5MM DVD/RW, GTX860M DDR5 4G, Window 8.1, 2 Year Carry In

extra money for extra hard disk bay and upgrading ram to max 16gb.
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..

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

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?

What is the ulv u mentioned?

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

Well I guess I have to diy. Hahaha
