Get an i7 model is more advisable than getting the i5 one (for the sake of Lightroom and Photoshop). The rendering speed is so much faster with i7. There is an empty m.2 sata slot available in the 7559, you can always add in SSD when you feel like that HDD reading speed is not fast enough.

Maybe this one will do?
Acer Aspire E5-474G-50URb 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV 920M, W10H)

Definitely Dell 7559.

What about this one? But this is 2.1kg.
Asus A455LF-WX063T A-Series 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-5200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT930M, W10H)

If you can top up a bit more, then you can get a much better one. This one is extremely light with decent performance. 1.2kg only.

This model is 1.96kg.

Perhaps this one?

Dell Inspiron 7559.

Definitely Acer V Nitro.

Should be around RM2.7k. You can always bargain the price as you can decline the free gifts. Usually they will give you around RM100 discount.

If you are really interested in getting one laptop with good after sales service, you have to consider Dell.
However, Dell laptops are usually more than 2k. Consider the following model. It is around RM2.3k. It is very light and slim. 1.5kg only. Windows 8.1/10 have a faster boot up speed than Windows 7. So, no worries.

Unless you really want a less than 10 seconds boot up speed, consider upgrade SSD.

Dell Vostro 14 V5459-1045SG-W10 Laptop/ Notebook (i3-6100U, 4GB, 500GB, Intel, W10H)

happy hunting!

Lenovo getting worse these days.

Yes, Lenovo user here. I couldn't agree more on the speaker and the keyboard part. The design of the keyboard is really comfortable and ergonomic and the JBL speakers are really powerful. However, the cooling system is not as good as the V nitro. Lenovo aftersales service is getting worse, unlike the past 3 years where the service was excellent and fast. I once replaced the touchpad last year, took 3 weeks for that.

pandera999 sifu also did mention that Acer V nitro has a better graphic card on the other hand. Moreover, Acer has been working harder on the aftersales service since the end of last year. So, it is definitely more reliable brand than Lenovo.

Dell is known for their superb service for years already. But if the warranty ends, you definitely need to pay to get your laptop fixed.

What about this laptop? The specs is better than the Dell one. But if you really gonna use the laptop for typing and surfing only, then I suppose an i3 is sufficient already.

Asus X455LJ-WX319T X-Series 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i3-5010U, 4GB, 500GB, NV GT920M, W10H) RM1.7k

Well, you can nego with some dealers to upgrade the ram for you for free but you have to decline all the free-gifts in return. Nego always works to me. That's how i got my 8gb ram

Wahh recently sell gaming chair liao? My chair a bit cacat liao. Pm please.

Open shop liao?
All DX chair also got sell?

you need at least a gtx960m to run fallout 4 on low settings.

Most common i7 in the market comes with either a quad core or dual core. U series = dual core. Dual core is more power saving compare to the quad core ones.

For e.g,
U series = i7-6500U, i7-6600U
HQ series = i7-6700HQ

There are even more efficient processor than the i7-6700HQ such as i7-6820HK.

But at least he take initiative to ask.
Last time when i was a noob, i thought get an i7 = best bang of buck liao.

Performance wise, i7 > i5 > core M > i3
Core wise, HQ > U

But U series processor means that it is towards power saving and lower battery life.
If you have the budget, the current best bang of buck would be the Dell Inspiron 7559. I would say decent in almost every aspect.

Asus K401U-BFR011T 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT940M, W10H) 2.5k/-
Asus A456U-FWX023T A-Series 14" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT930M, W10H) 2.2k/-

Since your budget is 2.5k, you can get Asus A456U, and upgrade ram/invest on a cooler pad for a long run. Whether your laptop is gonna last long or not, it is solely depending on the owner. Ventilation, maintenance and etc are very important. pandera999 gor gor has a 7 years Acer laptop that can still plays dota.

IIRC, you did mention to hunt for K501 before. But not sure which K501 model you mentioned though, but anyway, K501U comes with a better graphic performance than the one i recommended. But personally, i really do think that 8gb ram is a minimum requirement for windows 10.

Hope this helps a bit.

Milk powder damn expensive nowadays.
Some of my married friends also mention the same thing. Anyway, it does come with a 15.6" model.

Asus A556U-FXX038T A-Series 15.6" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT930M, W10H)

How old are your kids? Soon no need to drink milk liao. Feed them with white rice!

No gaming?

Brightstar staff says that really? Lol
I thought they were one of the honest seller in lowyat. Dell and illegear has the best aftersales service in malaysia. ACER is no where near them.

Get the Dell Inspiron 7559 DOS if you are okay with DOS laptop. Way cheaper than the one that comes with OS.
This is one of the most reliable gaming laptop that comes with GTX960M.
