Hey there, i just got bak from a short visit at lowyat.

I got some quotations for the dell inspiron 14 7447 and the asus k501lx-dm006h

The dell inspiron 14 7447 specs are i5-4210H, 4GB ram, GTX850M 4GB, 500GB HDD, Windows 8.1, 2 yrs warranty, selling for rm2869

The asus k501lx-dm006h specs are i5-5200U, 4GB ram, GTX950M 2GB, 1TB HDD, Windows 8.1, 2 yrs warranty, selling for around rm2800

The prices are of coz before nego-ing, dell's processor is better but its graphic card is weaker. Which one should i go for hmm?

Dell warranty more reliable. 7447 has less storage while K501LX has weaker processor. Actually there is not much difference between GTX950M and GTX850M. If you travel a lot with your laptop, go for the Asus K501LX. It has relatively longer battery life and lighter in term of weight. Moreover, K501LX has FHD. Although you can get more specs with Asus, it has one of the worst after sales service. So, think of your priority.

Hmm, i'll to decide again after getting the post-nego price lol.

Is there a great noticeable diferrence between the two processors? Or will i get almost similar gaming experience from both laptops?

Another thing is the dell warranty thingy, i dont know if laptops break down frequently in the first two years of purchase but i see a lot of people are recommending dell because of its warranty, is it really worth it?

The difference between the two processors is that the i5-5200U is more power saving and is created for a longer battery life. Not much difference in gaming experience. But if you really wanna compare, K501LX has the better specs. Dell onsite warranty is the best in Malaysia so far. In within 2 working days, your laptop can be fixed. If an Asus laptop has spoiled and you wish to claim the warranty, you have to go to their shop. They will send them to their service centre. That will take weeks.

Understood

But most probably i'll go for the asus 1 because i love the slim design, the larger screen and also the larger capacity and battery life like you said

And i think the probability for a laptop to spoil frequently within the first two years of purchase should be not that high maybe depends on luck i think.

Anyway, Thanks for your advice bro

Yeah, sometimes it's all about luck. People say Lenovo has lotsa Lemon products. But I only encounter a wifi problem once in 3 years time.

But asus should be more dependable than lenovo right? 😂

As long as they have 2 years warranty, i don't mind waiting for them to repair if really got problem lol

But dont think is worth to pay for higher price and get lower specs just for bettr warranty

Nah, back in 2012-2013, Lenovo and HP warranty can fight with Dell one. But dropping since last year. Apa boleh buat? But still better than Asus. Asus replaces a hardware only took a month. That was what my brother told me.

Some people use laptop to work. Hence, storing important information/homework/presentation slides in the laptop. If no repair ASAP, how to continue work? That's why Dell onsite warranty is so popular.

Hmm true true, better store my docs in cloud storage or hdd then lol.

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - <RM3,000
3. Usage - Work & multimedia
4. Preferred
a) FHD resolution
b) Light weight, travel a lot
c) Good battery life
d) 14" or below

Since you don't do gaming, Lenovo U41-70.

Inspiron 7348...

How about Asus UX305FA?

is that laptop for gaming?
its over my budget tho

dell website show latest 1 ma

i ask u look for older ver 1..

gt 750m pair wif 16gb ram, i7-4712hq can play alot game de

This model put up a great competition to U41-70. Is also a good choice! Much lighter than the U41-70 since it is only 1.2kg. However, M-5Y10 is a much weaker processor than the i7-5500U. So think wisely.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will compare them both at local shop.

Bro, i'm a MSI fan here and you should look at either the PE-series or GE62 from MSI.

Both are under 4.5k with choices between 17' and 15' screen. GE62 has more upgradability with m.2 SATA but PE series is more for photo and video editors with their True Color technology that better color correction.

Found the old article here when they first launched it.
