Budget: Below 4k
Usage: normal usage (browsing, watch video, office), no heavy gaming
Spec : 15 inch and above, weight below 1.7kg, windows os, at least 8gb ram, at least 512gb

15 inch below 1.7kg? Very hard to find...

Preferred min battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

My company's laptop is Latitude E7470 with similar specs and since i'm leaving the company, i've decided to get one with similar specs. This is the closest i could find actually. What would you recommend?
*
Latitude and Inspiron...one is business another is consumer grade...cannot compare

Why Dell only?

No one can guarantee on reliability FYI, if you want better reliability then go for premium business laptop

1. Thinkpad finishing is like that
2. You can swap FN and Ctrl via Vantage I think
3. M.2 SSD and 2.5 inch shares the same slot. If you wish to do future storage upgrade, the only way is via M.2 2242 (WWAN slot)

Sad to hear that you broke a clip (I broke a few in my lappy haha). How long it takes for it to arrive?

As for the warranty, I don't think mine is premium, thus explain the price.

Suggest some really good laptop for programming.
Budget : 2k-4k (if the recommended more than budget still can be reconsider)
what i been looking : lightweight, easy upgrade option(ram and storage)
Currently I been using my 17' gaming laptop. It quite heavy to carry around and that the only laptop i had.

Preferred max weight in kg? Any preference on battery life?

Hai. can u recommend me a good laptop?

Budget: below RM3k
Size: below 12.5 in (if none of this category meet my budget, then 13 in oso can)
battery: 6 hrs or more.
Usage: My usage will not be heavy, i guess? Mostly typing in google docs and emailing, browsing with lots of tabs opened, youtubing, movieing, sometimes photoshopping, no gaming.
Display: It's not my priority. As long as not sakit mata, then good enough for me. 
Lightweight: Yes, because i'm on the move a lot. 

Thanks a lot. smile.gif)

Mind non-upgradable 8GB RAM?

What's your opinion on Acer Swift 3 SF314-54G-52L8 (https://www.techhypermart.com/notebooks/acer-swift-3-sf314-54g-52l8-8-w10-14-laptop-notebook-i5-8250u-4gb-128gb-1tb-nv-mx150-w10h?filter=863%2C1389%2C1450%2C3451)

This really fit my budget and requirements.

Also a good one, you get more portability and battery life but less CPU+GPU performance. Need to upgrade RAM

I think the lightweight is more than enough cause I'm casually walking around with laptop in office while dock with charger all the time when at my desk.

Give a range on 'lightweight' - max weight in kg

No preference on battery life?

Get 1650 laptop: Illegear Raven or Level51 Forge 15 (low sRGB IPS only for now) - 3-4 hrs battery life

If you're fine with 1050TI:
Dell G7 (8750H+1050TI) - 6-7 hrs battery life, low sRGB IPS, need SSD upgrade, over 2.5kg
Lenovo Legion Y530 81FV00M8MJ - 4-5 hrs battery life
