Hi guys. I really need your help and suggestion for a new laptop.

1. Preferred Brand:
Any will do. I dont really mind the brand as long as it fits my budget.

2. Budget:
Below 3k. My initial budget is 2.5k but i can stretch it to 2.9 or 3k if the laptop is really really worth it. Also, i dont mind if the laptop is free dos because i intend to clean install windows 10 on it. (Plus i can save couple hundred ringgit)

3. Usage:
Movie editing, work and casual gaming. I play a lot of games actually but i dont play the games in high quality settings. Almost all the games I played before are played on medium settings (even though i can run skyrim on ultra settings on my pc). I'm more to 'performance first' kind of guy i guess.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size:
I dont really mind 14 or 15 inch but if I have to choose, i prefer 14".


Side note: I already did some research based on my friends suggestion and I quite like these 2 laptops, Dell Inspiron 7447 and Lenovo Y40-80. But I'm not that familiar with cpu and gpu so i dont know how both of these laptops perform. Any 7447 or y40 user out there willing to share their experience?

Btw, i'm not finalizing my option to just these 2 laptops, so if you have other laptop that you think is better than these or a cheaper one that can outperform these 2, do let me know biggrin.gif

This is my first laptop so im kind of nervous and scared if i might buy something that i might regret (you know that feeling) icon_question.gif

Y40-80 comes with an i7 but a weaker graphic card. GTX850M performs better than the Radeon R9 M275. More over, 7447 is equipped with an i5-4200H has a higher clock speed and higher GPU clock speed than the i7-5500U. If you were to focus more on gaming and reliability, go for the Dell 7447. The onsite warranty is more reliable. But of course, the battery life in 7447 is much shorter than the Y40-80. The JBL speaker in Y40-80 is better than the 7447 one. And lastly, the Y40-80 has a better look than 7447 imho. Hope this helps.  biggrin.gif

This is really helpful. Thank you. I think I'll go with Dell 7447 since they have a better aftersales services. thumbup.gif
