Hi, planning to change a new laptop since my previous one died on me

Anyways here are my requirements.

1. Budget friendly 1.5k and below
2. For everyday use (movies, youtube, documents)
3. casual gaming (dota 2, etc.)
4. engineering softwares (HYSYS, AutoCAD)

I'm just a normal guy with day to day usage only. Only thing Im heavy on are movies.

Appreciate it if anyone could suggest me some affordable ones.

Been looking through:

ASUS X550DP ; Lenovo G40-45 ; HP 15-G201AX

Or are there better choices for me out there?

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !

Thanks for reply! I am eyeing on M3800/M4800 too. Will consider

Thanks for reply! But Macbook pro cheapest 15 inch is over my budget d Will check out XPS15

This model can work well. But you need a RAM upgrade to 8gb as the recommended ram for AutoCAD is 8gb.
HP 14-ac137TU 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i3-5005U, 1TB, 4GB, Intel, W10H)

OK Thanks !

Will open up my options for this model as well..

Wow ... dint know autocad need that much of RAM @_@

2gb is minimum but recommended ram is 8gb. DDR3 ram is getting so cheap nowadays. No worries one.

Evening guys,

Need your suggestion or opinion:

1. Preferred Brand : Dell
2. Budget : RM1.6k below
3. Usage : mostly work, browsing and no gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14

Was looking at :
1) Dell Inspiron 14 3451 (Pentium N3540)
2) Dell Inspiron 14 3000 (Pentium N3700)

Between the 2 which is a better processor ...

Thanks for your help.

I would choose 3451... slightly better design

N3540 has higher turbo clock speed and better overclocked clock speed.
N3700 is a newer processor that can support 3 displays (N3540 can only support 2). N3700 consumes less power.

Thanks for your comment ... Design in terms of laptop design or processor design. Sorry for the question

Check on net Intel N3700 is a newer peocessor than N3540. Any significant different between this 2 processor.

Which processor should I go for if just work working & surfing Internet purpose. Given both are same price & spec wise. Thanks

If you do not work at home and want a longer battery life for your laptop, go for the N3700. If you don't move your laptop around one, go for N3540.
