Thanks for the recommendation .... Beside Asus what about Dell any laptop around RM1500

wow, this looks good..which seller sell this? any physical shop?

Thanks, it helps me a lot

The only model I can think of below RM1500.
Dell Inspiron 15 5551-5445SG-DOS Laptop/ Notebook (N3540, 500GB, 4GB, Intel, NO Windows) RM1,357/-

If you got more budget, you can opt for this.
Dell Vostro 14 5480-0045SG-DOS Laptop/ Notebook (i3-4005U, 500GB, 4GB, Intel, NO Windows) RM1,705/-

Both are DOS though.

Since you are from Penang, you can check out the ICT mall at komtar. I bought my Lenovo laptop there too. There are a few shops which sell Lenovo laptops there. Kindly check them out and do research before buying ya.

I can't find any review in this forum for that laptop. Edit : just found it
I read some reviews, some says that the hinge is awfully not durable ,, you can read it here -> http://www.ultrabookreview.com/4274-asus-z...ux303ln-review/
It is worth the money to take that risk?

And can you pls kindly tell me are there any physical shop you recommend in KL?

Thank you

Glad to hear that you are making so much effort before buying a laptop. Sorry that I was looking too much on the specs instead of the durability. There are still a few models to consider before buying a laptop.
1. Dell Vostro 14 5480-20452G-DW7SSDMC Laptop/ Notebook (i5-5200U, 256GB SSD, 4GB, NV GT740M, W7HP) RM3,380/-
2. Lenovo ThinkPad E450 20DC003EMY 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i7-5500U, 1TB, 4GB, AMD R7 M260, W7P DG W8.1 Pro) RM3,178/-

Personally, I think that the Dell Vostro 14 5480 is good for your sister since it is designed to target female users and has a relatively long battery life. But please do your own research to compare these models ya. Since everyone has their own priority when it comes to choosing their laptop. Hope this helps.

I'll talk to my sister about that.
You're a life saver.
Thank you

Latitude e7440 i5-4310u, 8GB ram, 256SSD, win 7 pro, RM2800
Latitude e7549 i5-5200u, 8GB ram 256SSD win 8, RM2850

Both 1.6kg , aluminum body

Latitude e7440 n 7450... add abit for business grade lappy lo

Thanks for the suggestions. Quick question.
Why is the one with the newer range of GPU and W10 cheaper than the other?

GT830M is simply better in term of performance of compare to GT920M.

I see, any 15.6" recommendations within the same budget?

Can try Inspiron 5547, 3543

I see. Wondering where you got the prices from.
Checked the dell website, the Inspiron 5458 and Vostro 5480 is RM2649

EDIT: just checked out this website: techhypemart. seems legit.

How is that? with i7 5500U & NV 840M


Apparently this model is unavailable from Dell's website.
If I go to digital mall, you reckon they still sell it there?

I also found this one - Inspiron 5558 (i5-5200U, 8GB, NV 920M, 1 TB, 15.6") RM2,599

Just saw you recommended Lenovo too. I try to avoid Lenovo, bad experience and they are getting bad publicity on the news nowadays (installing bloatware in the BIOS?)

MSI GS60 2QD is within your budget at RM6,899.. only 1.96kg & as thin as 19.9mm.. comes with GTX 965M &IPS panel..

4. Preferred:
