all Sifus,

i am comparing 2 model
1. U41-70 Ultrabook -14” / I5-5200U / 4GB / 256GB SSD / N16V-GM 2G / W10H
2. Asus K401LB-FA003H - 14" / i5-5200U / 4GB / 1TB / GT940 2GB / W8.1

one with SSD, anodhter with great graphic card.

both the price are about the same. mainly for paperwork, online surfing, watch movie, and little game like the Sims 4.

Saw it looks nice overall with aluminium magnesium body really looks premium + so portable.
Only if the bezel is thinner
Anyway I still no where near QHD yet due to scaling issue. FHD is good enuf personally

Hi,
I had made a query on http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-5552-...op/pd?flyingspaghettimonster=PD_OC and was about to buy it online.
However, while I was reporting an issue with another Dell laptop I have the support suggested me to not buy the one with Windows 10 for now as there is alot issues.
Now I need to hunt for a new laptop but lesser windows version.
Is this a common issue for all laptop brands and can some one suggest which brand is able to give warranty and support like Dell Pro? And is it true its not wise to get one with Windows 10 now especially from Dell?

this 1 le

No, Dell Support told me that Dell laptops with Windows 10 is not stabile right now. Thinking of other brands also is the same issue ?

Yup.. but u must know the different.. preload is stable while upgrade from win 7 n win 8 is not.. my Alienware burn mobo after upgrade.. whole thing crash... luckily got warranty.

Ya I know, and the support told me the preload also not stable which I was surprised. So now looking other brand or Windows 8.1.

wat u need? i can order dos n load win 8 for u...

u can adjust the scaling in the display setting...customize size and resolution... i have Acer S7 FHD IPS screen... HP Envy 13 screen is much better and brighter

hd < FHD < IPS FHD < QHD < UHD (4k)

scalling issue , you mean the resolution?

Not the resolution but apps that sometimes scale horribly that result in microscopic text or the fonts don't scale properly. No such prob with FHD because majority still cater to the latter

oh.. yes. it is. the text. cant it be fix by using windows own font re-scale? or even being calibrate the font in some apps still looks horrible?

1. Preferred Brand: any brand
2. Budget: <1.5k
3. Usage: typing job
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: any size but below 14''
5. Other preference: doesnt heat up overtime
transformer book and other detachable also can
battery life 8 hours above (seems hard for this budget?)

can... i/m scaling at 175% currently as 100% is too small due to QHD+ screen..
currently my resolution is 3200x1800

anyone know any shops where i can reasonable discount for laptops ? eyeing the 13-4138TU (i7) in ash silver (gold and black). Looks fantastic but outside selling rm5999. Any recommendation ? KL/PJ area.
