Hi, guys. I wanna buy a laptop for my girlfriend as birthday gift. I currently looking at HP Pavilion 15-CS0033TX , Lenovo Ideapad 320S, Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ), Acer Swift 3 15. Which 1 better among these and any other recommendations besides these model?

1. Preferred brand : -
2. Budget : Less than Rm3000, cheaper is better hehe
3. Usage : MS office, youtube, browser, movies ( generally just for normal use )
4. Screen Size : 14-15 inch
5. Prefer slim & light. ( but not necessary, dont too heavy will do)

* I surveyed the price of Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ) & Acer Swift 3 15 (8250U+MX150). Price is almost same. However Acer Swift 3 15 has 256GB SSD and 8 GB Ram which Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ) only 128GB SSD and 4 GB Ram. Does it means Acer Swift 3 15 is better? Anything i missing out?

Among these models which 1 is the best for u? HP PAVILION 15-CS0033TX ok or not? Any cons for this model?

Besides, may i know how much roughly to upgrade to 8GB Ram? Any reliable yet not too expensive RAM's brand recommended?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that many laptops will experience 100% disk usage when running ( including my brother & me) , do u know what are the causes? I read some user reviews of HP PAVILION 15-CS0033TX also faced this issue.

Thanks bro!!!!!

I noticed only graphic card difference? Which model should i go for?

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

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

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.

Sorry i am quite confused here as i am newbie in tech. How do u mean by ''HDD as spare'' & ''OS Drive''?

Actually i will put a lot of movies in my laptop so i guess i should put them in HDD as SDD has low storage. So i thinking to use SSD to install only OS and HDD to put movies. Is that possible?

1 more question, the stock ram for HP PAVILION 15-CS0033TX is samsung ddr4 2666MHz 19-19-19-43 but from website it stated 2400MHZ. So should i go for 2400 or 2666? The timings is not really important right? Thinking to get this https://www.lazada.com.my/products/kingston...s610253673.html

Ok bro. Any recommendation for 240-256GB SSD? One of the forumer bought same laptop and he told me the stock RAM is 2666Mhz ( i5 8250u only supports 2400 though) but the website published 2400Mhz instead. Let say the stock RAM is 2666Mhz, should i get 2666 or 2400Mhz?

Actually i buy this laptop for my gf. She dont play games. Hehe. She use the laptop for normal surfing only so i think 120GB SSD will be more than enough but from others opinion usually 120GB SSD comes with lower specs.

I am currently eyeing these 2 SSD.

a) https://www.lazada.com.my/products/kingston...s571268400.html

b) https://www.lazada.com.my/products/western-...s540999351.html

is that (b) has lower specs? Sata?

Bro, how about if 120GB SSD? Any recommended model? Any cons compared to 240GB SSD besides the storage capacity?
