Greetings to all sifus. Only discovered this site earlier today - glad to have found it
Hunting first new laptop in many years, after working with and heavily abusing old thinkpads with heating issues...

1. Preferred Brand: not dell, acer or hp (if possible)
2. Budget: <4K preferably; can push to 5 only maybe...
3. Usage: 2d/3d graphics, some video editing, movies, video encoding, coding, hundred or more browser tabs at times - always multitasking
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15"
5. Other preference:
a. i7 processor, 6th gen?
b. >=8GB RAM
c. not fussed about HDD; I guess >500GB (so probably not SSD)
d. nVidia GPU
e. with optical drive
f. do not require hybrid, touchscreen, etc
g. known to have good Linux compatability
h. good number of usb ports
i. ethernet port
j. hdmi nice but not necessary
k. less heat better, but not likely with i7 and nVidia I guess

Hope that's not overly specific. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to make suggestions.
I have been researching possibilities, but am not so aware of what is available and best to aim for in Malaysia...

Cheers

HI all,

I'm looking for a new laptop which primary use is for PHD ( Business) ,
Budget: 3K
Ram:8gb
Size:15"
Brand: Dell/ HP / Acer
I'm not into gaming and multimedia and hope can last for 3-4 years

Thank You

dun need workstation yet

u can consider inspiron 7566 i7, msi gp6x (wif 960m 1. not sure bout the exact code), rog gl552

optical drive the hard 1... msotly no ODD de

Dell Inspiron 15" 5567-20812G-W10 (i5-7200U, 8GB, 1TB, AMD R7 M445, W10H) 2.36Kg

if need portability can consider this
Acer Aspire Swift 3 SF314-51 14" (i5-6200U, 4GB, 256GB, Intel, W10H) 1.5kg * remaining money use top up to 8gb ram. it comes with ssd so the speed for processing read/write is better than mechanical hard disk.

Thank you,

i may consider dell 5567

Is the warranty void if we upgraded 1TB to 256SSD and how it will cost us

Thanks myway!
I can live without ODD. Can always buy external if necessary.
Any idea what options might remain?

Swap hdd to ssd won't void warranty...

Inspiron 7566
Msi gp62 960m

Hi,

Looking for laptop for playing dota 2. Budget less than RM 2,000 the cheaper the better. Done some research and found Lenovo Ideapad 310-14IKB 80TU0036MJ (RM 1,899 from TechHypermart).

Any other alternative I can consider? Thanks.

yeah.. thats the only best specs that you can get.. but 4gb on win10 is really sucks.. i suggest you upgrade ram to 8gb at least.

Thanks for the input. Lenovo quality is okay compare to other brands?

Thanks again, myway.
I am liking MSI. I have also had Illegear suggested, as well as HP Omen.

I am wondering though, I am not really a gamer - are there many machines with high performance for video, 3d work, etc that are not styled for gamers?

I guess performance in games = performance in producing graphics/games/etc but I'm just looking for simple styling...
However, if the best machine in my price range is a gaming machine, I will still happily get one.

Thanks again everyone who has been helping, very kind of you!

Omen.... Dun la... I went to their launching.. try the machine.. personally giv it a 6/10.. bit too late for the market...
Their management team speech make me rate them 3/10..

I dun think a directionless company can build something spectacular.. they tell us to focus on pavilion series tat make me vomit blood.. I would hv better perception bout HP If they tell us sell more spectre n elitebook ....but pavilion.... Haih...tat speech make me totally feel HP hopeless de

good day, all.

looking for laptop with 15.6 inch screen.

budget maximum is MYR3,000.00

usage: multitask, autocad, all rounder.

thank you, sifus.
