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.

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

Ya i know that core-M is running on TDP 5W vs core i5-6200U of 15W but not sure about its "power" but now that u mention is actually sufficient for my non intensive use i will also consider core-m models.

Budget around 3-4k region. I think XPS a bit costly around 6k?

Design wise zenbook quite appealing. like the wedge type n slim type. I heard the xps carbon palm rest is a magnet for smudge/fingerprints or something, though the "borderless" display is nice

If you do gaming at highest settings, don't get the UX305. It doesn't have a dedicated GPU. So, not so recommended.
This Asus K401 will suit your usage. 1.65kg. Slim and light. Comes with a decent GPU for max settings in the games you play. Good enough for a long run. But no back-lit laugh.gif
