Thanks for your suggestion

Technically, I have an ultrabook.. But it's not powerful enough to be my desktop replacement since it died on me.. (it has been very laggy since I first got it)
I'm thinking the laptop as a desktop replacement, as it is more portable, and doesn't consume as much space..

Also, it's easier to maintain... (in the past, I enjoy customizing PC, so I don't mind troubleshooting what's the problem when my PC has an issue.. But these days, I prefer just one touch point.. (i.e. if it's a hardware issue, then just get the laptop company to repair it, during its warranty period) Getting lazy... :/)

I don't think I would like to get a desktop.. So the question is, should I follow my "want" (get a powerful gaming laptop), or just follow my "need" (get a reliable non-gaming laptop).

1. Preferred brand : Asus, Dell
2. Budget : RM2k - 2.2k
3. Usage : Web browsing and general office use
4. Screen Size : 14"
5. Other requirements: Good battery life and weight

Requested by a family member, need it quite urgently since the old laptop died. Thanks in advance!

So far no laptop powerful enuf to be pc replacement at 6500

I think models like illegear Laguna and dell 7577 which has i7 7700hq plus gtx1060 is sufficiently powerful for me to use it as a desktop replacement I think.

I acknowledge it will not be as powerful as a desktop i7, but it's likely able to compete against an i5 right?
From what I understand it's better than i7 3700k (slightly), which means it's technically still an "upgrade" for me, coming from i7 2600k desktop.

I've checked the gtx1060 laptop and it's about 90% the power of a desktop one. I think that's more than enough power in the 1080p environment given the diminishing return of performance these days?

Any area I missed out? I'm not too experienced in laptop stuff so there could be areas that I didn't look at and would be grateful if you can share your insights.

Any of you think this is a good 2nd hand temporary laptop to buy to bring overseas, for occasional web browsing and office documents editing or play movies.

Only thing is I find that it has only 1GB memory and Celeron.
But many reviews on that item.

Hi guys, would love to get some suggestions from y'all.

1. Preferred brand : Leaning more towards Dell, Acer, Asus.
2. Budget : <RM 2.5K, can go slightly higher depending on scenario, but prefer to keep it as low as possible.
3. Usage : Programming, probably lots of on-the-go usage(so long battery life is a great plus)
4. Screen Size : 14" should be ideal
5. Preference: SSD, 8GB of RAM, i5 (if I get one with an older processor, it's going to be cheaper, right?), not too chunky(doesn't have to be featherweight)

Thank you very much and have a nice day !
