QUOTE(Imagination *-* @ May 18 2016, 10:11 AM) I'm interested to get a new laptop since my current laptop is 5+ years old already. Recently the gfx card died and will cost around RM160+ for "reballing". It'll work I hope but wont be sustainable in the near future. Thus interested in a new laptop. I believe I should wait for the latest technological advancement in gfx card to come out first such as the GeForce 1000 series. Waiting for the mobile versions. I'm a gamer. Do any of u guys know when that might be? pascal? should be released early of jun and we can see some laptop with pascal maybe end of jun i guess

QUOTE(xSerenity @ May 19 2016, 12:41 AM) Hi guys, looking for ultrabook/light weight laptops recommendation 1. Preferred Brand: No preference 2. Budget: from 2.5k~3.5k 3. Usage: Office, civil engineering softwares such as Autocad, Java and only light photoshop, not for gaming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : not less than 13. 5. Others: SSD if possible for that price range, RAM can be upgraded to 8GB. Currently eyeing up HP Envy 13 and ASUS Zenbook UX305.
