Hi sifus,

Planning to buy my first ever laptop within the next few days as I'm out of the house a lot now and no chance to use my desktop d....

(desktop bought in 2015 - i5 4460, 8gb ram, Asus mobo b85mg, intergrated graphics)

Going to lowyat for look see look see 2moro but best know what I'm looking for first.... otws sure will be walking around like headless chicken
1. Preferred brand :
any , as long specs gives best bang for bucks
(1 that is durable and has reputation that lasts)
(so far few friend mentioned ASUS )
(Read through some of the stickies and gathered a few brand names which garnered bad feedbacks but will not bring up here, so not to spoil this thread )

2. Budget :
2.5k maxxxxx
(Don't mind spending a bit more as long as I can stretch my ringgit (durable and can last the extra few years)

3. Usage :
home/ use a lot of internet browsing/ work (Microsoft office) / light gaming .. though I don't even play any games on my desktop, but just in case

4. Screen Size : does not really matter - as long can fit in my bag pack ... I am a male so not too small I guess. And must be clear and easy for the eyes (1 of the reasons I never liked laptops in the past is bcoz it's very strenuous for the eyes)

Pls provide suggestions plz..
as all this while I never liked to use laptops ... hopefully with some inputs frm sifus here and window shopping with 1 of my tech friend 2moro , hopefully can get 1 that will change my perspectives of laptops. Lol.

Thanks in advance !

1. Preferred brand : Any brand just not asus/acer
2. Budget : 3k to 3.5k
3. Usage : Light video editing, watching movies, light gaming, work
4. Screen Size : 13'/14'

Would like a laptop that is thin and elegant. For a girl to carry everywhere.

Hi all, looking for some recommendation. still in initial research stage so I'm flexible to change.

1. Preferred brand : Any

2. Budget : Ideal: RM3k, willing to go up to (pref lower end) RM4k+ if better fit my needs/usage.

3. Usage :  Work (Important): Graphic Design programs (the smoother it runs the better), mainly - Photoshop, Illustrator; occasional video editing via After Effects + Other Adobe progs.
Occasional Gaming: Would be nice, not vital. 

4. Screen Size : Min 14". Bigger is preferred, but I plan to dual screen with a larger monitor most of the time.

5. RAM: 8GB + , option to upgrade later is nice

6.  Storage: SSD + HDD

7. Others: Good display (colour) (Not too knowledgeable about this), weight - don't care, anything is ok.
Thanks in advance!
