Thanks. Just saw the spec of Swift 1, it is Intel Pentium, is fast or slow? Or should i just go for Swift 3 with Intel i3 8th Gen?

Comparable with i3 ULV. No Swift 3 model with i3

Can stretch budget to how much?

Yes - also looking at XPS 13 9360 / XPS 15 9560 since we mainly use Dell units here in the office.

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

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?

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

Brand : Doesn't have a specific one (But ASUS aftersales warrenty seems quite bad to me)
Budget : ~RM4000 (Cheaper the better ofcoz tongue.gif )
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

What's your usage? Only games?

weight and battery doesn't really matter much, but who doesn't want light weight and long battery life wor.

usage ah, a little bit of everything? I m sure most of the laptop now can fit my usage.... just too much model to filter it out.

Hi fellow sifu. Been so long since my last post here. I need a laptop for editing and printing purposes. So my requirement is sRGB 100% and aRGB at least 90%. Is there any laptop out there that has dedicated GPU and has an accurate screen like this?

Afaik only MBP 15, XPS 15 and Zenbook Pro met my requirement. Is there any other laptops that can perform the same? I am open to refurbished laptops such as Dell Precision too.

Kindly advice notworthy.gif

1. Budget: 3.5k
2. Usage: mostly student work. Light gaming like Overwatch, Dota Csgo
3. Requirements: an ultrabook is ideal.

I bring it around daily so I need it to have good battery life and to be light as possible.

Been aiming zenbook UX331. Any other alternatives I should consider?

Into consideration as well, battery life no preference.

Prefer Slim and solid , not those plastics finishing.
