1. Preferred brand :None
2. Budget : rm3k +/-
3. Usage : Primary: Microsoft Office, media. Secondary: light gaming (lol and mmo), photoshop
4. Screen Size : Any but preferably 14"
5. Other Preference: 8th gen i5, ssd, lightweight <2kg, nv mx150, ips

Currently found 3 potential buy
1. Asus Vivobook S S510U 15.6"
Probably best fit my preference, only 4gb ram, gt940mx instead, heaviest of the 3 [edit* can't find i5 variant with ssd]
2. Lenovo Ideapad 320s 13.3"
Also fit my preference but ports are too limited, only 4gb ram, may need to pair with external hdd [edit* no stock]
3. HP ENVY 13 13.3"
Nice design but only integrated graphics, most expensive [edit* crossed out, over budget]

Looks like i'm left with the asus vivobook, does anyone know what the difference of a510u and s510u model?
Is it possible/easy to add ram and ssd by myself for the i5 model?
Any suggestions or other models that are within compromise?

Hello laptop/notebook guru's need help for a laptop recommendation.

1. Preferred brand : any recommended brand (prefer good after sales service)
2. Budget : 3k-3.5k
3. Usage : Movies, Dota 2, Work
4. Screen Size : 15.6 + 1080p resolution
5. video card : Capable of playing DotA2 and other light gamings
6. dvd\cd tray: none
7. RAM : at least 4GB
8. CPU : Good enough for smooth experience ( eg i7-7500 )
9. Storage : 1TB HDD or SSD or both
10. Weight : lightweight. less than 2kg

Currently this Laptop catched my attention, the vivobook s15 s510 because it fits almost all of my criteria but i am just a bit skeptical about its price. is it normal to have this spec at this price? also found this at Lazada, which still not reached my budget but i can still topup. is it worth to get this? or have any other good recommendations. Thanks everyone

Edit : This laptop is priced at 4k, lazada is rm 3.8k

Acer vx15 is better than the Lenovo y520

The reason is Acer use a more contrast-ty IPS screen than Lenovo. Lenovo possibly using a 6-bit color rate panel.

In short, the Acer have an even brighter display than Lenovo which is quite important for a laptop. I would prefer, personally, to use that than a dim screen.

Lenovo isn't too dim though, but you do see it's difference side to side

have u own or touch the Acer vx15 before ? in Malaysia market it is came with TN panel only, where got IPS?

Hi guys and girls,

I've been missing in the laptop/Ultrabook/tablet section for quite sometimes ever since I got my company laptop for use.

Therefore would appreciate the community help here for a recommendation.

This would be a gift to encourage my sister pursuing this modern career through social media. To make things more serious for her, I would like to encourage her to create good content by means of learning on video editing.

Mainly the usage to this laptop to replace her ever aging 5 years old Dell on the purpose of video editing or creating digital contents.

Brand: HP, Asus..

Budget: Below Rm4k

Usage: Creating digital content, Video Editing, YouTube Content

Screen size: 13' , it would be best if its light weight for carrying around.

Processor: i5-7300HQ?

Hope you all can share some recommendations on this.
