Hi,
Hopefully get some recommendation of laptop based on my needs.

1. Preferred Brand: any brand, but prefer HP due to Onsite service (I am HPE employee too )
2. Budget: around RM4.5k
3. Usage: Adobe Lightroom for photo post processing, Microsoft office, youtube, non-gaming, web browsing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13.3" only
5. Other preference : with ssd and able to run Windows 8.1 due to my office apps compatibility in I.E and Juniper Pulse VPN connection client.

So far I have shortlisted Envy 13-D045TU.
Is the Screen color accurate for photo editing without professional color calibration?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your recommendation.
128GB SSD is kind of small for me because i have many photos to store and waiting for process in lightroom.
I afraid 128GB is bottleneck, just like Iphone with 16GB.

Update: After i checked in Dell.com.my, the price is quite high

By the way, HP Envy 13-D045TU with 3 years warranty, RM4399 from HP Employee Store.
I think quite a good deal

I am using Hp Elitebook 820, business laptop, the screen color is soooooo dull.
I hope this Envy is not that bad.

But I agree with you, I will explore the calibration kit. Any recommendation from you

Yes, 128GB is not enough.
I think the price for Envy 13 is good enough for my non professional usage

Spectre seems like only got 128GB SSD, no QHD + higher price.
To me, besides Macbook Pro, all laptop built quality also like meh.

Based on my budget, storage and screen resolutions requirement, i have ordered Envy 13-d045tu, RM4399 with 3 years warranty.
Thanks for all the input!
