QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Dec 9 2018, 09:08 PM) Lenovo Yoga 530/520 (i5-8250U) - only 1 RAM slot HP Pavilion x360 14 cd0036tx - small battery Upgrade RAM/storage by your own if not enough There aren't many 2 in 1 with dGPU. Is 2 in 1 a must? Tablet mode will be used to view plans on site. Company prefer to get 2 in 1 than separate tablet. Currently using 4 years old traditional laptop with i3, 4GB with some low spec Nvidia GPU... The requirements I listed are just best case scenario ... If it doesn't have GPU power to run the software, I can opt use the office workstation remotely. I'll check out the laptop you suggested  Thanks!

Might invest in a good monitor in the future tho. Thanks.

Quality - depends on model, all laptops I recommend has at least acceptable exterior build quality, can't comment of QC since it heavily depends on luck and usage too Service - quite good from what I heard, only thing is no onsite

1. Budget : RM1.5k-RM2k 2. Usage : Just browsing internet, stream videos, email, facebook 3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Since my requirements aren't too heavy, I'm thinking of a lighter weight laptop. Preferably i5 with 8gb ram for multitasking. Display size ~15". If can get SSD drive as well would be great.
