Hi. Looking for laptop with the following requirement and appreciate recommendation as to what to consider.

1. 14"
2. Large storage >500G. SSD too small. So Hybrid HDD would be preferable.
3. Great screen resolution to view photos
4. No gaming.
5. Budget 2 to 3 K.

Thanks

Latitude 7440 fhd u ok?

Thanks but I don't think that is suitable because I think that only comes with SSD. Need lots of space for lots of photos. So looking at one with Hybrid HDD. If out of 2K-3K budget, will get a HDD instead of SSD.

OHAI opti-dude!!!

i just had some notebook issue, had to ask something about it and guess who i bump into??

btw, do you know that US is preparing to seize properties that had connections to 1MD-

*b!tch-slapped by mods for posting non-forum related stuff and trolling*

anyway...

- few HP Pavilion series can fit your specification, i5 processor isn't the best but at least you get 2x the hdd size

Thanks.

The HP is out because it too big and I wanted 14"

The Yoga and Asus looks promising. The X455LF have Hybrid HDD? How does it compares to AsusK401LB?

On the 1MDB and the 3.5 billion questions. 1MDB said they paid but Aabar said they haven't receive and this must be the money the US is talking about. Now going to arbitration

the latitude 5470 boh ngam u?

I don't understand. You mean you get a free EXTERNAL 500GB Hybrid HDD? Or is this 500GB built into the laptop?

The Yoga 500 looks interesting but not sure it have Hybrid HDD inside, especially the Yoga 500 -14ISK

the laptop come wif stock m.2 ssd.. but i saw in the review they hv slot for hdd

so i free u 500gb hybrid

together u hv m.2 + 500gb hybrid

Doesn't seem available.

no, It is not possible to use a 2.5-inch hard drive and a thin M.2-SSD simultaneously. , the m.2 ssd already occupy the sata slot

new gen is 7359, 7348 is old stock

external ma.. he already said

wait for Yoga 510 or if can accept 15 inch display size, ideapad 700

the manufacturer usually don't put in hybrid due to simple cost reduction reason. it would be 1TB coupled with 4GB ram or 500GB coupled with 8GB that sells more; either it's a storage or a edit tool

there are other notebook manufacturers you can try and look into (no time to help out due to werk... cleaning up other's sh!t really takes WHOLE LOT OF TIME!!!), each with their own feats. the notebook manufacturer i know are as below:

Acer
Asus
Dell
Fujitsu
HP
Lenovo

notable expensive ones are:
MSI (dun try this, mostly for gaming)
Toshiba (focus heavily on mobility, high spec, and high price)
SONY (VAIO, expensive and not supported becuz they sold it off)

side note:

as for HDD, hybrid HDD would be faster overtime when the SSD part figures out which are the most cache... overall a well maintained 7200rpm HDD is at par with a hybrid with fragmented hybrid

but nothing beats SSD!!! they are the fastest... that is if they don't heat up, show you the blue screen of lurve and refuse to boot...

*sigh*

side-side note:

about the fund, not sure which Aabar they posted but...

*mods eyeing closely on noodlez post*

urgh... maybe next time...

thanks. But I notice several manufacturer list their storage as 1TB @ 5400rpm. If it's mechanical, would be very slow, wouldn't it?

Pure SSD wouldn't do. Got tons of photos to store.

that's also due to cost saving steps taken to reduce the assembly cost...

the few i had mentioned would fare a wee bit better inbterm of rpm, then again size is halved...

Get aw14.. got 32gb msata.. haha
