Thinkpad is commercial range, not suitable for usage I guess

It can be good. Or another way round.

If you can wait for the review, then it's better for you. It's always good to not rush to get a new laptop.

Xiaomi macbook air.. laughing when look at the name.. but the spec dun play play le. Got pcie ssd n ddr4 ram..

hi looking for a laptop for my girlfriend.

1. Preferred Brand - Generally ok with any.
2. Budget - below 2.6k?
3. Usage - Web browsing/occasional progrraming (engineer student).
4. Preferred
a) 14"
b) Light and thin, generally portable
c) want bigger memory (not ssd preferably)

Was actually eyeing the Acer R14, but because its 128 GB SSD, though faster, she doesn't really feel she needs the extra speed. unless it makes a huge diff then maybe but otherwise just something portable and....nice looking?

Vostro 5459
i5,4gb, 500gb, gt 930m

Asus A556U	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GT 930MX 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 15.6" HD, 2.3KG	RM2.3k
Acer Aspire E5-575G	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GT 940MX 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 15.6" FHD, 2.2KG	RM2.4k
HP Pavilion 15-AU501TX	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GT 940MX 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 15.6" FHD, 2KG	RM2.4k

Asus K401U	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GT 940M 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 14" FHD, 1.65KG	RM2.6k
HP Pavilion 14-al019TX	Intel i5-6200U, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GT 940MX 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD, 14" HD, 1.58KG	RM2.6k

Is there any more option that doesn't have the built-in dvd. Would like to cut to weight. And have an extra RAM slot to upgrade to 8GB. Or other model that has 8GB RAM please? Sorry, friend just updated the spec he wants.

Ram he add outside cheaper...add on requirement without increase budget? Then tell him go find outside de..

any information *cough* about the new rumour gtx10XX laptop *cough* that you mentioned?

Hi! Check these out! Both around 1.3kg and the price is around 5k too

Dell XPS13-2041SG-W10 13.3" Laptop/ Notebook (i5-6200U, 4GB, 128GB SSD, Intel, W10H)
Asus ZenBook UX305U-AFC040T 13.3" Laptop/ Notebook (i7-6500U, 8GB, 512GB SSD, Integrated, W10H)

thanks for the input. based on the specs look like asus zenbook is a better value for money. in real life how is asus zenbook performance, or should i expand my budget and get the xps13 with better specs?

what about the new xiaomi air?

no1 had hands on xiao mi air la

xps 13 higher league compare to zenbook

normal usage zenbook core m should be enuf

As myway1985 gorgor has mentioned, no one has hands on the new Mi Notebook Air yet.

No review about the product yet. But I doubt its performance is going to be on better than Dell XPS level.

With your usage, I personally don't think you need i7 or even a quad core. a Dell XPS 13 should suffice your usage and serve you well. And also, Dell provides a good coverage of onsite warranty service which Asus doesn't. You may wish to take that into account too.

who said no one have hands on Mi Notebook Air ??? go check China's webpage, unless you cant read mandarin la

Dell xps 13 dfo, HP envy 13, Hp spectre ,

No 1 here.. u fly there n buy 1 la.. today or tomolo available for sales de

he ask for review ma, even for other model available in Malaysia, u also can ensure got ppl on hands lo ?, example Asus GX 700 laptop
