Hi Laptop Sifus,

I am in need of a new laptop (currently using a Lenovo Y410P).

1. Preferred brand : Indifferent with brand but my past laptops were Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba and Compaq and I have no issues with any of them
2. Budget : Less than RM4,000
3. Usage : Gaming and video/photo editing. I do not need high end specs and as long as I can run games released from the past 2-3 years in medium settings, I am very content.
4. Screen Size : 15 inches and smaller are ideal resolution sizes

Another preference but not a deal breaker is it would be great if the laptop doesn't have a number pad. I prefer the qwerty keyboard to stretch to the width of the laptop.

My girlfriend also told me her colleague got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (i5 processor and 128gb ssd) for ~RM3,600. Wonder if it's a good deal?

Looking forward to y'all recommendations.

7567-30414G-W10

i5-7300
4GB D4
1TB
NV GTX1050 4GB
15.6"FHD
W10

this ?

3. Usage : Everyday office work

Can someone shed some light for me to which laptop i should choose? Im currently deciding between:

(1) Brand new import set alienware 15 specs as below:
15" , i7 7700, 1060 6gb, 1tb hdd no ssd

or

(2) 3 months old alienware 15 specs:
15" , i5 7 series, 1060 6gb , 1tb hdd 120gb ssd, local set

i5 7 series and i7 7 series big difference in performance? price difference is around 700 cheaper for used set. which one should i get?

there is no brand new import set.. dun kena fool... n the local set i doubt.. coz dun hv tat confi.. how much ur budget

too bad now aday even rm 1.2k cant get a i3 processor laptop ( new ), max those amd or duo core processor only

From gaming experience, I assume certain budget only afford limited attributes point, and its up to me choose the spread of attributes point among the kiviat diagram of the laptop. So, I like to know if my laptop specification exist in reality, and what's the compromise (if any) for that (/those) priced suggestion(s).
In short:
-budgeted RM2,000 (and below)
-reliable laptop (not wear out too fast)
-capable of smooth multitasking (2 tasks or more).
In length:
Size: medium and above (comfort viewing)
OS: windowed (any average window surviving current tech performance standards)
Usage:
-Smooth 2 multitasking and above (eg. 1 browser/media player + MsOffice; or 2 MsOffice same time, etc)
-Smooth low end gaming (if Minecraft, Terraria, etc with lowest settings counted as low end)
-Sustain (heat concern, etc ) above average usage time (actually considered heavy usage time reaching 10 hours + during weekends)

Extra (if my specification satisfied too easily):
-intel based maybe?
-4GB RAM maybe? (optimal match to cpu abilities?)
-SSD storage maybe?
-priorities order maybe: lenovo>dell>asus>toshiba... ... (if my brand conception not wrong, slightly dislike acer)
*remaining specs like camera, resolution, styles, etc not so critical

@myway1985 myway1985 Thanks for the suggestion . (I'm not a very techie guy) So mentioning Asus AMD A9 at the salesman (hopefully lucky to get a knowledgeable one) should be able to get me the right recommendations (affordable laptop that really can run smoothly), right ? (among all those funny model alphanumerics choices )

1. Preferred brand : Dell/Alienware (but any reputable one is fine as well for its quality) No mac though as its a windows working environment

2. Budget : 5k to 5.5k +/i (below 5.6k)

3. Usage : Programming, VR Rendering, Graphics Rendering, Graphic design, maybe minimal animation, etc

4. Screen Size : 15" at least (due to programming, VR rendering, etc)

I'm not sure whether you can still get an alienware with your budget

Maybe previous version of XPS 15 may suit your need. But have to find lo

i was surveying this

do you think its worth it?

seems to fit the purpose though

http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-7577-...-15-7577-laptop

I think I can safely say this is one of the best mid range gaming laptops. But I do read about the fan noise issue. Macam behaving noisier than the other Max-Q laptops.

Maybe future dell updates would solve the issue.

Otherwise, this is a good choice for the purpose.
