Hi LYN sifus, having a dilemma here so need some advice:
- 14" or smaller FHD (prefer 13")
- 4gb ram or more
- NO optical drive (nid to cut down weight)
- Budget around RM 3000

So far, have these choices:
- asus zenbook ux305 CA
- asus k401ub
- lenovo ideapad 710s
- acer aspire s13
- lenovo ideapad 500s

Personally, it's for college in business course stuff, but I will use it for entertainment and light gaming ( civilisation v or Insurgency, so requirements not really that high? Btw, insurgency fans come add me please, my steam name same as this LYN acc name)

Also, just curious, but is there any noticeable pros and cons between different brands? Was under the impression like asus has good build quality but poor service, acer laptops feel a bit wonky/not durable, lenovo laptops bluescreen a lot etc etc

Re posted? Add oso inspiron 7359 i5 variant.

Yeah, just wanted to get more opinions from more people. Btw, thanks for your suggestion again!

I've check the Inspiron 7349 you recommended, seems like a good choice as well. But are convertibles like this durable or practical? Never really used one so no idea 😅

Hi sifus,

for a budget of RM 5K, pls recommend me the best option for these specs:
-at least i7 6700HQ
-at least 8gb ram (prefer ddr4)

..and will there be notebooks with gtx10xx with the same price range?

Wait for gtx 1050 perhaps end of quarter

1. Preferred Brand - No Mac
2. Budget - 4k
3. Usage - web browsing, office, video streaming, works, no gaming- Intel Core M is enough right?
4. Preferred
a) 13" FHD
b) Ultrabook or under 1.7kg
c) 8gb ram
d) 256GB SSD

Asus ZENBOOK UX305C	Intel m3-6Y30, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD, 13.3" FHD, 1.2KG	RM3.3k
Acer Aspire S 13	Intel i5-6200U, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Intel HD, 256 GB SSD, 13.3" FHD IPS, 1.42KG	RM3.4k
HP ENVY 13-d135TU	Intel i5-6200U, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD, 13.3" QHD IPS, 1.39KG	RM4k

for your usage intel core M is more than enough

only 13inch? 12.5 cannot?

The only 12" I like is XPS 12 but way to expensive

Check ur pm.. something similar to xps12 but military grade..hehe
