Hi, Need experts here to recommend a new laptop/ultrabook. I am bad in seeing computer spec.

1. Preferred Brand - any brand that fits the criteria, easy to find places to repair/good service center.
2. Budget - RM2k below
3. Usage - I have my ipad already. just for normal usage with keyboard for typing, if I wan to do heavy re-searching and putting them down as notes, I prefer to use a laptop than a tablet. no gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13 inch should be fine.

Other preference, I may want to travel around with my laptop, prefer it to be light with good battery, good wifi, if possible to have fast startup? any future proof spec? tongue.gif

Thanks for your advise & suggestion. Looking forward

If you are really interested in getting one laptop with good after sales service, you have to consider Dell.
However, Dell laptops are usually more than 2k. Consider the following model. It is around RM2.3k. It is very light and slim. 1.5kg only. Windows 8.1/10 have a faster boot up speed than Windows 7. So, no worries. biggrin.gif

Unless you really want a less than 10 seconds boot up speed, consider upgrade SSD. biggrin.gif

Hey DS_Legacy, Thanks.
Can I ask how is the service for Dell after the warranty ends? Thinking that I might not be always using my laptop, hmm...maybe it wouldn't have too much problem. haha. then what happen when the warranty ends?

If I would take out the good after sales service, what is the secondary choice you would suggest me?

Dell is known for their superb service for years already. But if the warranty ends, you definitely need to pay to get your laptop fixed. biggrin.gif

What about this laptop? The specs is better than the Dell one. But if you really gonna use the laptop for typing and surfing only, then I suppose an i3 is sufficient already. biggrin.gif
