Yo dudes,

Looking for a simple laptop mainly for web surfing.

Budget below RM2,000, the lower the better
Preferably Dell for their after-sales service
15.6"

user of dell 7559 here
yes from the dell website or reseller don't have ssd option, but you can add one yourself
is much cheaper compare to build in, the ssd it using is m.2 sata slot, I am getting the samsung evo 850 250gb

as for warranty, don't worry it won't void, same goes to add extra ram (already ask dell staff through online chat and call)

yes why not, if want swipe dvd drive out, just buy a caddy case

my fren hv inspiron 3558, 5558 i5. rm1850 each.. clearance

window 8 pro license key i sell RM80 nia.. haha

How much was the SSD damage to you? RM500?

Will there be much of a differences if i go for GTX960m with core i5 instead of core i7 in term of FPS?

ya you got it

I wanna upgrade my SSD, 120GB just doesn't make sense.
But still looking for a suitable one.

Ya after install os and frequent used software left not much
Ssd is 232gb usable, after install those software left around 180gb for me

But 120gb is fine, tried install some stuff on your hdd lor

Not really okay.
But I'm putting everything into my external 1TB HDD.

How I wish I can afford 512GB SSD. My photos and those Adobe software eat up so much space. Don't even have a single game in my SSD.

why put on external HDD instead internal HDD

as for 512GB SSD too expensive, nearly RM 800
since I just install frequently used software and OS, others install on HDD
I also don't have any game installed on SSD, all on HDD

Hi all sifus please recommend me a few models that fit the requirements below

1. Preferred Brand: any
2. Budget: 3.5k - 4.5k
3. Usage: gaming, movies, uni work

5. Others : With SSD (SSHD also acceptable), good after sales service available in Singapore, high durability, good cooling system/no overheating issue
6. Optional: backlit KB, DoS

Thank you very much in advanced!

1. Preferred Brand: No Acer
2. Budget: 3 -4k
3. Usage: movies, ms office, work. Not really for gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15"
5. Other preference:
a. 6th Gen Intel
b. comes with SSD
c. Good battery life.

Thank you in advance !

Is it worth to buy i7 4200 GTX970m RM5k instead of RM3.3k i5 6300HQ GTX960m?
I will not be playing games at over 1080P (won't play on external 4k monitor), most of the games i play are in ultra setting. I prefer high FPS when gaming. is the RM1.7k really worth it to upgrade the specs of the laptop? Games like GTA 5 Ass. Creed Batman Fallout ETC.

BUMP ~

Hi Sifus,

Thought of getting a laptop around 2.5k.

1. Preferred Brand: I have few in mind: Toshiba/Dell/Asus/Lenovo but with good reason I welcome all sorts of recommendations.
2. Budget: Around 2.5k. Can re-think with good reasons.
3. Usage: Surfing/Playing high def(including bluray) quality movies(sometime through extended screen)/SideUsage -> Minor gaming:Dota2/D3.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Will look at 14" first. If needed, probably 13" or 15". Full HD if possible.
5. Other preference:
a. Durability (I am stil having Toshiba = durability kinda thought, though Satelite design sucks nowaday)
b. Good/Latest spec possible on Processor/RAM/Storage (not preferred SSD, who knows when it might die on me) which may affect the response of the laptop - have to say this as right now it jerks while typing with company laptop =.= really setting me off sometime.
c. Good warranty / after sale service (thats why I have Dell in mind)
d. Back lit keyboard
e. Comes with Wins 10

Side story:
1) Helped a friend of mine on searching for 2k budget laptop and I got these:
-> Satellite L40-B202GX (PSKQEL-005001)
-> Lenovo G50-80 i5-5200U ver
-> Asus X455LF/LJ
Should be slightly better than these.

2) List so far:
-> Toshiba L50-A100 (Pro:740M/Cons:15"/Wins8/2.4kg)
-> Asus K401UB (6th Gen) (Pro:14"/1.65kg/Wins10/Cons:940M)

Thanks !

Pls edit ur post

Lol, you're asking for ultra yet high FPS of course GTX970M can perform better than GTX960M. Performance benchmark is more than 60%.
