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.

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.

X series should be detachable 1 if i am not mistaken.

She don't mind heavy. Laptop just sitting in her house most of the time, but she does not want the desktop.

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)?
