Hello guys! I am looking for a laptop that is good for engineering work (civil engineering to be exact). The price range would be around rm4k ~ rm5k. thx.

What is your main app will be..??

IMO, u need a laptop with at least 8GB RAM, SSD, Intel i5 processor & above, and a decent graphic card. Try to search for laptops with above specs.

mostly AUTOCAD

My kind of topic, Engineering!

GC dont need to be so good. Just a normal 1 will do.

You need a good CPU and RAM. Minimum i5 and not ciplak i5. There are many types of i5. From low to high end. So please dont go low end CPU else you open any engineering app also takes u 5mins.

RM4-5k is good enough but get the right spec. Put more focus on CPU and RAM. Dont go for AMD!! I'll post here if I have time to search for it later.

Alright, thx guys, i get the gist of it. x-frame, can you recommend some of the models for me?

1 is newer which cost RM100 more, but honestly, both having the exact same spec. Dont know what is so new.

thats a i7-6700HQ, 4 cores and 8 threads, 8GB memory.

I am looking at Dell but could not find the pricing for their laptops.

Dell has some great laptop as well, but I really dont know the price, maybe you can browse a bit or maybe someone here might know better of it.

I was issued a HP Elitebook on my last job, but I still prefer a Lenovo Thinkpad.

Dell - partly due to their ease of servicing.
