My budget screwed up big time....
So here's the new one..

Looking for a laptop. Any recommendation?

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand, prefer good warranty.
2. Budget: below 1.5K, might be able to up to 2k
3. Usage: gaming, Matlab, Catia, other engineering softwares, gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" and above...
5. Other preferences:
-something on par with my lenovo y400 (dead mobo, out of warranty)
-If the budget is too low, feel free to play around with the spec (with gaming in mind)
-I don't mind gaming at medium/low as long as it's 60 fps.
Should I go for pc instead? If so what's the spec?

Thanks in advances...

Hi guys, been out of the laptop game for awhile, need to get a new one for my wife whose 3-year-old Sony netbook is slowly heading towards its last days.

1. Preferred Brand: Anything but Apple. Asus and Acer come to mind when I think of slim lappies. But do suggest more.
2. Budget: 2-3k
3. Usage: Web browsing, presentations, word, light gaming (Yahoo gaming that sort)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 11-13"
5. Other preferences: Slim and light is a must! My wife has to carry it room to room for presentations sometimes. Aesthetically pleasing, not the blocky, business-like types from say Lenovo. Would need about 8gig RAM too.

Kindly offer your suggestions and thanks in advance.

Consider upgrading the RAM to 8GB or more with your remaining budget. This would definitely be very good for your wife usage. 1.2kg only. Extremely thin and slim. Comes with SSD also. biggrin.gif

This Asus one should work well for her. If she wants a better graphic card, opt for HP. Both weight almost the same. The Asus one looks nicer though. tongue.gif

Any ASUS ZenBook UX305UA users? How is the machine/predecessor ZenBook?
I m impressed by the aesthetic appearance but curious about
1) the heat dissipation function? How good is it under normal operating ambience (i.e. good ventilation, minimal dust)
2) after sales still so so like before?

I m interested with following specs
1) i5 6200U (don't want core M)
2) Win 10
3) 8G memory
4) FHD will do, no need QHD
5) GPU dunno what GPU they use

Key usage
- mainly for work involving words, excel etc nothing graphic intensive; surfing, real time streaming of sports, no intensive gaming, just occasional facebook type game
- welcome any other recommendation as i m not sure if my specs overkill for simple applications. tq

The ventilation is decent, and since it is core M, so they won't generate as much heat as i5-6200U. Performance wise, I personally think that core M us sufficient for you usage. No gaming, no graphic work, and no programming work. Core M is created for a more efficient and power-saving in the long run. biggrin.gif

What is your current budget? If you have a high budget, might as well get a Dell XPS. More reliable in term of after sales service. Asus after sales service is never good. laugh.gif

Hi all the sifu, I have been out of the laptop world for years and I would be appreciate if you could recommend me some laptops to buy.

1. Preferred Brand: Anything but Apple and with nice design. (Reasonable After sales service and can use at least 2-3 Years)
2. Budget: <RM 3k (slightly above like 100 more also can)
3. Usage: Microsoft office, HD movies, 3D online game (eg. Cabal 2 etc)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: at least 13"
5. Other preferences: Slim and light is a must! I'll need to carry it to meet clients everyday, so I'll be putting into my briefcase and have to be fast in turning on the laptop. Ssd Is a must too.

Thank you.
