Hi sifu,

Narrowed down to this 2 model :

Lenovo
1. G4080 i5 5200
2. G5080 i7 5500

Difference between both of these model (RM 20) is just the processor speed and the G4080 having win8 compared to G5080 DOS, and the screen size which is not really the main factor.

Which one will be a better choice?

go for i7 then. coz you can install windows by yourself.

Always opt for i7 if u want a better performance of your processor. Haha i7 works better and efficient in photo editing software. Install the OS yourself. Shouldn't be hard for you.

got thinkpad series? i prefer the small scroll ball one instead of the large touch pad, easy move wrong

Advise taken.

Will proceed to buy 5080 i7 model

thinkpad never below 2k beside it is a 2nd hand unit...

The following is the thinkpad series. They are usually more than 2k.
Lenovo ThinkPad E450 20DCA04QMY 14" Laptop/ Notebook i3-4005U, 500GB, 4GB, Intel, W7P DG W8.1 Pro RM2243/-
Lenovo ThinkPad E440 20C500A2ME 14" Laptop/ Notebook i5-4210U, 1TB, 4GB, Intel, W7P DG W8.1 Pro RM2,639/-
Lenovo ThinkPad E450 20DC0031MY 14" Laptop/ Notebook i5-5200U, 1TB, 4GB, Intel, W7P DG W8.1 Pro RM2730/-

Invest in i7... you will not regret... believe me...

How to install OS by myself? Is it pirate? Becos I do rmbr last time my desktop was having sth like window 7 genius

Well IMHO, I will prefer windows 7 over windows 8.1. So, an original Windows 7 home premium OS will cost you about RM300. But if you think that installing OS is tedious, you can always ask the computer shop guy to install it for you with some charges at around rm30-50. (Only if you have the budget ya)

But if you don't have the budget, you can go pirate which is free

It's actually really simple to do, especially with Windows 8/8.1

There are also plenty of easy to understand guides online that give step-by-step instructions

I didn't realize we condone piracy on these forums...

My apology. Still new to the forum here. No more next time.

You can Get windows key for less than 60rm if u know where to find it

the shop guy told me that he can install a mix version of both 7 n 8.. @@

any special features that windows 8/8.1 has? compare to windows 7?

i not know more about windows 7 or even 8/8.1

Look in garage sales
Prices ranges from 40-100
