QUOTE(celdric @ Feb 1 2016, 09:49 AM) Dell did provide 1 year 0% if you refer from the website. Yes Illegear also provide that but also subjected to bank surcharge, let's say you're taking 24 months is 7% interest of the amount you want to take installment. Example: RM4000 total, you paid advanced/downpayment RM500, RM3500 you want to take loan, 3.5x0.07/24 is the amount you need to pay for 24 months. Not too sure about Asus tho. But Illegear is having CNY promo, tho is kind of expensive, or you can look into Z5 Haswell 960M. Thanks for the advice! Do you know any shop in lowyat offering 0-5% 24 months EPP in lowyat? Im actually more into ASUS k501ub.

Besides, how about HP Pavillion 15-ak032TX? Doesnt see much recommendation on this Im wondering if you know the downsides of this laptop? Like cooling systems or noise? Well if just looking at the specs, I can tell it is quite a good one too. Btw one of the use of these laptop for me are graphic rendering *Just a beginner one*  Wonder if it works well?

Btw one of the use of these laptop for me are graphic rendering *Just a beginner one*  Wonder if it works well? The price of HP Pavillion 15-ak032TX only come with GTX950M, with almost or slightly higher price like Dell 7559 you can get a 4Gb GTX960M. You can refer the first page of this thread to check out all the gaming laptop spec and price. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3753380This post has been edited by celdric: Feb 3 2016, 08:17 AM
