receive more negative feedback from user.. so, obviously that hp is problem a lot.

i'll choose acer z one compare those 2 even acer have mushy keypads.  asus also not bad.. just power button issue and battery issue not charging correctly.. dont know if its fix or not.. but it happens to certain transformer model.

Many complained acer z one:
Charge very slow
Over brightness no ips so eye ache
Only 2.0 usb. Got no left usb if use mouse

Why not get a laptop and a tablet instead or just a tablet.

Anyways, best is that you yourself go and check out the product because one man poison is another man treasure (Something like that).

look at Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-012 - 10.1" IPS Touch + Z3735 + 2GB + 32GB + 500GB + W8.1 Bing + Office 365 : RM1315
another is Acer Switch 11 SW5-171-337K - 11.6" IPS FHD Touch + i3-4012Y + 4GB + 60GB + W8.1: RM1820 but out of ur budget range.

Acer V3-112P-P0SJS 11.6” - RM1210 also have decent battery life. estimated is 7 hours on heavy usage.

for ur usage for presentation, i think switch 10 much suitable u. not much different in screen display as well as have detachable keyboard.. need type, its lousy to type on screen and a bit slow,then use keyboard. present ur work, detach it..

Low cost and detachable notebook. you can stand around during presentation cz its detachable  nod.gif  The Switch 10 is in the same price category as a Chromebook or mid-range 10-inch Android tablet.

fyi, there is always pros and cons between android and apple. but current apple product is different than steve jobs era  sweat.gif  as for android, its have a lots of supported apps but many bloatware as well  doh.gif 
sweat.gif sounds like i have something suspicious  laugh.gif
u mean Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G-78SG – 15.6 IPS FHD + i7-4720HQ + 8GB + 1TB+8GB + GTX960 2GB + W8.1 : RM3550

better u go for Asus G551JM-DM052H – 15.6” FHD + i7-4710 + 4GB Ram + 1TB + GTX860 2GB + 6 Cell + W8.1 : RM3350
remaining money add the ram, max 16gb... that 4gb ram, u can sell  laugh.gif

not much different gtx860 and gtx960..

Thanks. I like hp x360. I like flip mode than detachable. Detachable prone to defect and looks complicated? I think I should wait hp stream x360 or acer switch 11. However acer switch 11 price rm 2.8k not rm1.8k?

5400rpm, that speed is normal. ya slow..  laugh.gif  but 14", if i7 QM... its normal with uncomfortable heat... thats why.. if i7 HQ, QM better go 15". cz inside not that pack.  back then, i think envy always overheat... hmm.gif

Why qm better 15 inches? Even after sold it, buyer complained I sold the dusty inside notebook coz of overheat. Even i5 desktop not so fast compared with core duo.

Wut?!?! My 3 to 4 years old Hp DV6 still kicking and doing fine. Can even game on it albeit mid to low settings.

Did you turn it on 24*7? I always turn it on 24*7 because I am lazy to wait the start up mode. Just let my laptop on sleep mode.
Amd? Amd is good and fast but don't know why my laptop with amd cannot last more than 3 years. Always have problem on keyboard. My fujitsu and acer keyboard after using amd processor not work for some keys. In the end must sell cheap.

More space for the heat to dissipate and also more space for the air to flow can cram better cooling system.

HP stream 11 even doesn't have a fan bro. So will it be overheat?

It is using the celeron type proc. Don't wory much about heat but do some maintenance from time to time like dust off the dust. If you are doing basic stuff, the proc wont heat up much.

how to diy dust off the dust? I never do that because the price of dust off the dust not cheap and we need to wait hours or even days at service center.

Open up the laptop and use brush and compress air to dust it off.

HP and lenovo laptop good for precision and moving laptop while acer and asus will get problem easily on laptop if we are very mobile. My toshiba fell then the hard disk suddenly rosak
