Hi there,

Need help from you guys for laptop recommendations. Wanna buy one for my lil bro.

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget: less than 2k
3. Usage: Mainly doing his Uni stuffs eg writing, Multimedia, able to use Photoshop (PS) or Coral with ease
4. Size: 14" or less
5. Light weight + easy to type keyboard + problem free scroll pad (lenovo pad quite problematic for me) + long lasting battery (at least 7-8hrs)

Waiting for your suggestion then.  Thanks guys

1. Preferred Brand-any
2. Budget-if can below 4.5k (can go up to 5k if worth it)
3. Usage (work+some light gaming (fifa16)-i already have ps4&ps3
4. Preferred laptop/screen- below 15'

Been doing some research and got this two model
Dell 7447 but gtx850
Illegear Z5
But both cant replace gpu right?Any other good laptop that can replace gpu and worth to have it in my range of budget?

Thank for your explaination
If that case might opt for non-upgradable graphic card laptop.
Budget below 4.5 or max can go up to 5k. Now eye illegear z5. Is the graphic card good enough to last several year. Been reading this thread from beginning (page1) till now

Only Dell 3443? Any other brands? I'm not that familiar with Dell 

Hello, I'm currently looking for a brand new laptop. This laptop is solely for University work (NetBeans, Microsoft Visual Studio, Webots, etc), so gaming is not important.
Thanks in advance!

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - Less than RM2000
3. Usage - Programming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 inches
5. Preferably Intel + Nvidia as I'm familiar with them.

Thanks for your reply! May I know the Asus equivalent of the Dell 3443 DOS? I have the sudden interest in Asus, will edit my post to state 'prefer Asus'.

by oct shud starting hv new model x much.. ideal is nov-dec... by end ths year... cz this mnth usually shipping and incoming...    pattern always da same...

illegear z5. yes.. dats da best, hardcore or not.. still looks good.. but jz wasted if u not fully utilized its potential.. acer v nitro is good bang for bucks too... lighter.. improvement on model it self... cz previous acer v nitro gtx850m have heat issue.. but new version seems much better... 

for personal things... the best way is external hard disk... keep it in there for time being...

as for now.. b patient.. and wait.. just a word of wisdom, choices is nt there yet.. so b patient.. else, gonna regret da nxt day..  consider of the price too.. and current notebook is not same as last time.. now markets a lots with ulv processor...
its ok to be picky.. its your choice...
btw... lenovo i tot can straight away press f1-f12 keys without fn.. only hp need press fn.. nvr knew lenovo also need too.. 

I didn't know the pattern is like this, but another problem with newest model that just arrived is its usage, performance, temp and some other things, more like real world usage performance. Surely the msi ge60 probably has the best spec along with its ads but turned out that the real world performance it generates heat a lot during playing games. November is just about 2 months away, more like I have to wait up to 4 months for these new updates on laptops. I guess I just continue using my mom's laptop to do 3d modelling works and main works too

There are some lenovo models that needs you to press the fn key to use f1-f12 keys, I don't know the specific model, but the fn is orange coloured on the keyboard

A friend of mine, literally got several non acer gaming type laptop, somewhat literally told me to stay away from acer. That's why I'm trying to turn away from acer. Been an acer laptop user for over 10 years already by the way with several model used

well, it just certain model need to avoid.. no matter wat brand.. must b certain model need to be avoided... so far... i did not have problems with acer... bought it in mid 2010... and still kicking until now. even play dota 2 smoothly (low setting). while.. my asus bought at early 2011, and died early 2015, this year..

im not sure what model your friend buy.. hopefully he dont mind to share which model and wats da prob... so dat dat model can be avoided.. not boicott the brand.. as on first page... each brand, have their own defective model  People tend to generalize when it comes to brands- If his/her notebook sucks, then everything from that brand sucks. This is of course, inaccurate.
One has to understand that there will always be lemon units in electronic devices. Whether a notebook lasts or not depends on a little bit of luck, but a lot on user care!
Even the most premium brands out there are not free from defects.

quoted from my very dear friend : lil kiasu: "Cheap no good, good no cheap."

looking for a notebook for my brother to use at uni.

1. Any
2. Budget max rm2000
3. For uni usage
4. screen size 14" 15"

any good/reliable notebook can recommend?
thanks

but at least.. win7 is much stable than win8.. and better features than winxp which is totally absolute.  yes... customization notebook will gives u better specs that you prefered. no optical, no prob.. can booting using usb...    not a prob...

  yes... exactly.. gonna wait for few patches... even now im using win8.1

before this... they want to replace IE.. that namely spartans.  but end up they use the name edge browser.. means... they actually fail to finish up the project.. so they extend the ability of IE then gv new name "the edge". better than ie but not meet spartans expectation. still The Edge is prototype for Spartans browser. its just forums assumptions. read it somewhere 
spartans

edge

Looking for a recommendation for a friend!

1. Any
2. Preferably below RM4000
3. Gaming and assignments (multitasking)
4. 14" - 17" anything within the range

Thank you so much! May I ask though if they have overheating issues? Sorry for the inconvenience!

Then, I think I will wait till the end of this year to see if got fancy spec or not. One of my friend also says you better wait.

Just that hopefully I'm able to keep it till the day comes

lol. suddenly become consultant? oh my God!! you should have stay in blackhat forum!!!
