Anything between 2k to 5k. Battery life decent good enough.

Comparable with i3 ULV. No Swift 3 model with i3

Can stretch budget to how much?

Budget?

Trying to keep it within the RM 4K to 5.5K mark - ideally something I can use for 2 years at least ..

There aren't many 2 in 1/tablet below 11 inch. Is 13.3 inch OK to you?

Can consider Dell XPS 13, Lenovo Thinkpad T series, HP Elitebook 830/840 G5, HP Spectre x360 13, Asus Zenbook UX461UA, HP Envy 13, Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 (Intel)

Can do at 2.5k.. got any good n sturdy laptop at that price? Seems like swift 3 with 15.6inch is around that price.

Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM+SSD upgrades

Hi guys.. looking for a laptop, mainly just to put in room and carry around

Purpose: Website browsing, steam game, movie

Budget: Below 3k

Appreciate for your input

Hi all. Would you recommend a laptop mainly for doing programming and office work? Budget around below RM5,000. Thank you.

Why must Asus?

Preferred max weight, display size and minimum battery life?

Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

Was checking with friends ytd and searched online.. The brand seems reliable.. Haha! Anyway, i can still open up to others

Weight 2.5kg below, 14 or 15 inch preferable, battery life i think not really important.. Cause i am using it in room, will connect to power most of the time

No brand is reliable

You prefer Ultrabook/normal laptop or gaming laptop?

i assume ultrabook is the thinnest right? i would say normal / gaming laptop will do

If you're fine with non GTX GPU:
Acer Swift 3 14 (SF314-54G) with RAM upgrade
Lenovo Yoga 520/530 (8250U) with RAM upgrade
HP Pavilion: 14 ce-tx, 15 cs-tx, x360 cd-tx (upgrade to at least 8GB RAM and with SSD)

If you want GTX GPU:
Acer Nitro 5 or HP Pavilion Gaming with RAM+SSD upgrades - CPU cooling issue (needs repaste+undervolt)
Lenovo Legion Y530 - 15% discount if you're a student

Or tell me what you've found

GTX GPU better right?

both Nitro 5 and Y530 looks nice... hmmm...

between Nitro 5 and Y530.. which 1 would you go for?

Brand : Doesn't have a specific one (But ASUS aftersales warrenty seems quite bad to me)
Budget : ~RM4000 (Cheaper the better ofcoz )
Screen Size : 15" (Because wanted the numpad)
HDD : SSD is a must (Once tried it cant live without it)
Graphic : Occasionally play games from steam library.

Seems like too much options these days, too much data for me to digest

Best aftersales service? Go for dell g3 or g7 model
