What documents needed to get 15% student discount? it is applicable to y530?

Applicable

Anything that can proof that you're a student, student ID for instance

Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

Are you fine with 1050TI?

That's a really high budget as mentioned before, XPS 13 is excellent enough

Hi. I just bought HP Pavilion - 15-cs0033tx. Need to upgrade the SSD and RAM right? SSD i got one new which bought last year (SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB SSD (520MB/s - SDSSDA-240G-G25) ). This SSD suits right? The SSD is just for OS?

For the RAM, should i replace the existing 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM or keep the existing but add in another 4GB in another RAM slot? Sorry for my noob question as i never upgrade RAM before but i read somewhere if mixing the RAM sometimes it may not works.

This RAM ok? https://www.lazada.com.my/products/adata-4g...s332688201.html

Alright Thanks!
would you actually recommend the 4k screen?

and last but not least... would the X1 Carbon be better than XPS 13?

That SSD uses 2.5 inch bay so you have to sacrifice the HDD. If you want to keep both HDD and SSD then buy a new M.2 one (SATA or NVMe doesn't matter)

If 8GB is enough for you then X2 4GB RAM, dual channel can provide slightly higher performance. RAM is RAM, just find the cheapest with same timings and frequency

Yep, 1050Ti is perfectly fine for me.

X1 Carbon has similar pros and cons compared to XPS 13, only noticeable difference is lower battery life (not 'bad' by any means). And much expensive. Comes with HDR option though.

Wouldn't recommend UHD display, 13 inch is really small, FHD is enough. If I remembered correctly the panel has glossy surface and slow response times

Bro can recommend me which SSD should i choose? i have totally no idea at all how to choose the SSD.

What's your budget and preferred size?

May i know the SSD just for install OS right? Movies, Documents, Programs all can be installed at HDD?

If so, i think 120GB is enough for me as i can put my things in HDD instead SSD. Budget less than RM200 for 120GB and RM350 for 240GB.

Is 11" budget laptop like Asus vivobook E203M or Acer Aspire 3 A311 good enough for internet browsing, youtube, office works and casual gaming? I want to buy 11" laptop to replace my 6 years old netbook

x1 carbon i7 around RM8100 le

After looking around awhile, I found a few models which I would like some suggestions on.
Please note that I am considering the i5-8250U for all these models. And I am going to upgrade to 8gb ram for those 4gb models. I will also swap out HDD and insert my spare SSD.
I am mainly concern about heat (temperature issues? I scare kena overheat) , battery life, screen quality and brightness. I am ok with the weight of these models.

ASUS VivoBook S15 S530U (or UN?) - But I saw some review mention this has a very dim max brightness screen? 210nits
HP Pavilion - 14-ce0083tx
HP ENVY - 13-ah0041tx
ASUS ZenBook UX430U
Asus ZenBook UX331U (or UN?)

Originally I found HP Omen 15 (2018) which has impressive specs for the price? , but the weight is VERY heavy , so I crossed that off my list.

If you don't put a lot of large files (like me) then go for 240-256GB SSD (HDD as spare)

If you just want OS drive then 120/128GB

Which one you prefer?
