Some people still prefer to work in starbucks one. I see a lot of them editing photos and videos with mac. Macam trend liao   

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand.
2. Budget: 2.2K
3. Usage: CAD, mild engineering software, web browsing.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: No
5. Other preferences:
I'm looking for something cheap yet powerful. Best bang for the buck.

Right now I saw online there are a few cheap laptops that suit my requirement:

HP 15-ac169TX RM1979
i5-5200U Processor
8GB DDR3L-1600 SDRAM
1TB SATA Hard Drive
AMD Radeon R5 M330 2GB DDR3
15.6" diagonal HD WLED-backlit (1366 x 768)

LENOVO Z40-75 RM1849
AMD QUAD CORE A10-7300 PROCESSOR
8GB DDR3 1600L MEMORY
1TB SATA 5400RPM AHRD DRIVE
2GB DDR3 AMD RADEON  R6-M255DX GRAPHICS
14" FULL HD 1980X1020 LED DISPLAY

LENOVO Z50-70 RM2379 (slightly overbudget)
Intel 4th Generation i7-4510U
4GB DDR3 1600L Memory (2 RAM slot)
1TB SATA Hard Disk 
2GB DDR3 dedicated NVIDIA GT840M graphics
15.6" FHD Slim LED 1920x1080 Display

I like the Lenovo for its FHD display, but I prefer the i5-5200 than the APU. Don't really care about battery life, and don't need latest spec.
Anyone got better options for me? 

i didnt see at dell my website sia..where u got that

Thanks! I'm considering this too. But why should I ignore the Z40-75? Is it because of the CPU? Because looking at the benchmark, that AMD cpu performs better than my old laptop, which I used for CAD before it broken down.
Price is superb but too bad it's not FHD display.

Dear sifu,

Any comments about dell xps 15? Pros and cons?

Thksss

Probably a stupid question but how do i do that? If the model comes with window 10 can i request the seller to downgrade it for me?

So ill just request from the manufacturers? I can do this for every brand right? And how bout the cost? Does it remaim the same?

Then i assume i have to do it myself if the manufacturer doesnt help me downgrade to window 8

How bout msi ge72 and asus rog g501? Any good?

its sometimes depend with which store and which state. but the HQ sometimes very slow processing too..  not all taiwanese brand aftersales sux.
