1. Preferred Brand - Not particularly inclined on HP/Asus coz my last HP died on me/Asus well known for bad after sales in M'sia. Opens to suggestions if the product is good.

2. Budget - RM 3,000 for now. Unwilling to part more currently but if the argument is convincing enough, I'll consider.

3. Usage - Desk diving ( Excel, words, specialized software for accounting / related ), Entertainment ( Spotify, movies & related ) and mild gaming ( Rarely, but would prefer it to be capable to game, but least of my importance since I don't have time. )

4. Preferred -

a. Lightweight and sturdy built ( Move around a lot )
b. 14 inches preferred as 15 inches are usually larger and heavier.
c. Decent screen and backlit keyboard is a must. Don't care bout speakers as I am plugged into my headphones all the time.

Will add when I can remember.

Thanks for the recommendation boss.

But no backlit, right?

Backlit is part of my requirement.

Got budget.

Don't want spend 6k for a laptop only.

I can only claim tax 3k.... Cough up another 3k just for backlit and touch screen is plain crazy.

2,4kg not that bad la. A bit heavy but as long as the power supply unit is not like my old Alienware, doable la.

Inspiron 7447 comes with 4GB ram only by default? I was browsing Dell's website thou. Not yet check lowyat for better pricing.

Finally, something that is not Dell or Illegear

Am looking at this model but am thinking about after sales service of Lenovo.

Any review about that?

I heard it was terrible.

Expected.

A lot of people are telling me the same thing.

Lenovo all if no problem, is awesome.

Once got problem, ownself settle.

MYR 5,800

I'd rather get an Apple d....

4k screen on 13" monitor.... Tak payah la. I rather get another TV for that price....

I blame myself for not making enough to counter the drop of ringgit

Which is why I am not inclined to get a Lenovo despite it's awesome specs to price ratio.

Itu 1g cost MYR 3.09 weh....



Nvm la, let me look at inspiron for now. Takmau spend 6k just like that

7548 I saw from Dell Website is around 3,399.

Macam not bad.

Full HD, Touch screen and backlit kb.

Hard to replace the 1TB hdd with a SSD? And to ownself add the ram until 16gb?

If not, this is a very likely model for me to invest on

After work go lowyat see the product then.



If ngam liao only start hunting for best deals in town

7548 is out already no?



http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-7548-...-15-7548-laptop

I think it's Lenovo U41 right?

The only model around 2,4k with SSD

Lenovo U41?

It comes with a SSD too, so workflow should be faster.

Precisely.



15 seconds boot up are awesome.

Get an external one then.

Small matter, really.

If you want photoshop and video editing, 2k ain't gonna cut it....

I don't know how your friend use the computer.

Maybe he stack up to 1Gb worth of layers at photoshop...

Either way, if he's serious, 3,5k is more likely the possible number....

I can think of few sub 3k models thou.

Budget?

Most on windows can be upgraded to 10.

Well....

Hook it up to a monitor.

Or.

You get more money in.

Honestly, without knowing your usage, I'll just suggest you the most expensive 1TB SSD that is bundled on earth for just for fun

If you want better recommendation to save your money, go state your purpose.

I'd reckon a MacBook 15" with 1 TB SSD. That way you can dual boot Mac and Windows since budget's not a concern

At that kinda range, Lenovo U-41 would be the best bet.

If you're into office, I'd reckon a Mac.

Been using one for office purposely solely, it's awesome that way. Durability's great and it's pretty much as reliable as it can get.

Drawback would be the pricing. Cheapest one starts at 4K++
