Hey everyone,
I need advice regarding choosing a high-end laptop as a desktop replacement and also to carry around KL in a backpack. My budget is RM6k, and the most important aspects for me in a laptop is high quality, reliability, durability, long life-span, and also quick warranty claims, and good customer service.
I've narrowed it down to these three models, and I'd appreciate it if anyone who is an experienced laptop user can give me advice and recommendations on selecting the best laptop for me that will last me for the next 6 years (with upgrades throughout it's lifetime), as this is a long-term investment for me.
Currently, I've narrowed it down to these three models from three different manufacturers, but I'm open to new ideas, options, suggestions, and recommendations...
I'd appreciate it if users of these laptop series could give me feedback on their experience using these models and the problems / troubleshooting that I might experience during the laptop's lifetime!
Thanks in advance...
