Hi guys,
I need a recommendation for:
Budget: RM 1000 (??) Brand: Any Usage: Work - Microsoft and ArcGIS software OS: Windows 10
I've Macbook Pro already, but for some reason, I don't like switching to bootcamp so much. Been using it for 3 years, and I found it boring to do nowadays. So, I need second laptop for work purposes only.
Thanks.

RM low Well, I only need a laptop for typing and using ArcGIS software. I don't really like switching between OS and Windows whenever I need to do some work. I found it really tiring though. That's why, I'm thinking to buy a cheap one.

was thinking of buying xps 15 but with the price I think it's ridiculous. 6k and not even 4K display. anything similar to xps but cheaper? at least 1080p screen, i5 or i7 processor and minimum 8gb ram.

1. Preferred Brand - Any as long as it is reliable (I kinda like MSI though) 2. Budget - Around RM5K 3. Usage - Heavy gaming, video editing/rendering. Since I'm also gonna use it for work, I prefer the laptop to look "normal". As in not gaming looking one. Need to be inconspicuous 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15"
Need new laptop as my current one is breaking down day by day. Thanks

1. Preferred Brand - Asus only. (My this particular friend is a die hard Asus fan). 2. Budget - less than RM2.5K 3. Usage - normal websurfing. office use. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 inch.
Note: She requested that the battery must not be attached like the iphone 6 type or Lenovo Yoga series type as she intend to use this kind of laptop for a very long period of time.

Looking at Inspiron 15 7000 Series and HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook - 15-ak031tx, would they be able to support games like fallout 4 (on low graphic setting of course)
Also any recommendation for 14 inch laptop (gaming and for work, mainly power point, excel and word)?
