hi guys! happy labour day! tho cuti ended already

so straight up,i need two recommendations for laptop.

The first laptop is for home use only. Moderate spec is okay. If possible:
1)intel i3
2)500gb hdd
3)no need dedicated gpu.
4)comfortable keyboard.
5)budget is 1.8k and below.
6)prefer asus or lenovo or dell.

The second laptop is for my college use. Got special laptop money from scholarship offer up to 3.5k max. Preferably:
1)intel i5/i7
2)500gb hdd/256 ssd
3)dedicated gpu is a plus (casual gaming like fifa or old nfs games)
4)very needed:
a)lightweight(1.8kg and below coz need to carry here and there)
b)slim(maybe 2.4-1.8cm to put in backpack)

5)budget under 3.5k or much lower is also okay.
6)any brand but not those gaming brands like msi razor etc

I did my research and found that the first laptop's choice is VERY WIDE so really need advice on that.

On 2nd laptop i found three very amusing slim w/ lightweight laptops

Acer TravelMate P6 (1.6kg,2.08cm)
Lenovo ThinkPad E460 (1.9kg,2.44cm)
Dell Vostro 14 V5459 50814G (1.53kg,1.85cm)

but maybe i had probably missed some other better laptops.

Any suggestions or reviews among the laptops i highlighted are welcome.

Thanks in advance

i dont quite understand.

are u going to get two laptops for two different usage or only one?

for two purposes. first one to keep at home for my mom's use while the second is for me to bring to college. sorry made you confused.

laptop 1

Asus X540LJ

Intel i3-4005U, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GT 920M 1GB, 500GB SATA HDD, 15.6" HD, 1.9KG

RM1.6k

laptop 2

Asus K401U	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GT 940M 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 14" FHD, 1.65KG	RM2.6k
Dell Vostro 14 V5459	Intel i7-6500U, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GT 930M 4GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 14" HD, DOS, 1.53KG	RM3.2k

Hey bro. What's scholarship is it? Mind sharing with me

laptop 1 specs was great really looking forward to that

laptop 2 i think i might go for asus for that slim and lightweight. either way i will go to the store itself for hands-on and decide there. Thanks X_F@cT0R

petronas scholarship btw. hahaha wish i could. i might not using it fully 3.5k pun nanti

Congratulations bro. I wanted to apply that too.. But hesitated. What course are you in?

Thanks yeah me too at first. i wanted Mara eduloan but after seeking advice at pros here at this forum they told to take up pertronas bcoz job offer after study and a full scholarship. I'm in electrical engineering,study at utp for foundation (1yr) and degree (4yrs) there.

how about you chengyue ?

That's a very good opportunity to go petronas indeed. I got matrix but then I am planning to go TARUC for accounting. I'm a pure science stream student in high school tho. Taking a leap to arts. Kind of worrying

Thanks TARUC is like one of the BEST uni in Malaysia even i have no guts to even apply there. And about changing streams is no problem. I got many seniors (i was in all science stream fully boarding school) currently working as professional accountants at Bank Negara. As long u are interested its totally fine.

Sometimes those seniors take a visit back to school and drive like audis , volkswagens at such young age. Kinda jealous hahaha
