weight as light as possible
batt life at least 4 hours
also would want to do programming
display size 10-12 inch

Kinda hard to find such small laptop that meets your requirements with that budget

Hi,

Looking for a laptop mainly for browsing on chrome, streaming movie, and programming with max budget of RM2,500. I have no preference on brand. Thanks.

1. Budget: Below 3k
2. Usage: Standard office usage, Coding and technical capabilities, video and photo editing, medium gaming usage with standard settings
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc): Not really particular, but then, preferably ease in portability with good power usage - light and long battery life. Screen size is moreso 14 inch or above.

Lenovo Ideapad 330s-14IKB, 320S-14IKB, 320S-14IKBR (upgrade SSD and 8GB RAM)

You need a good display for that, the closest one would be Asus UX430U-NGV176T but it's slightly over budget

Fine with 13 inch?

huawei matebook x pro i5 and i7, everywhere out of stock?

Get other model?

What about Dell xps. I need a solid and thin notebook

May I know your budget? Usage? Any preference on weight (max kg), battery life (min hours) and display size?

Budget 5k
Usuage for heavy chrome user, email, mirocsoft file, video edit.
Weight below 2kg
Battery life more than 8 hr
Display size 12-14inch

Need 16GB RAM? (many models with non-upgradable 8GB RAM)

8 or 16gb ram is fine.

Forgot to ask, are you fine with low sRGB display? Do you need dGPU?

Yay I can finally stop lurking this thread and make an account to ask for a recommendation!

Budget: I don't have a budget, I'm planning to save up. (Just wanna know how low I can go)
Use case: LaTeX, light programming, Microsoft office, web browsing
Battery life: double digits
dGPU: don't want
Storage: NVMe SSD 64GB (I have 1TB of cloud storage anyway)
Other: Touchscreen, super thin bezels
CPU: idc as long as cheap. (I can accept AMD or Intel. Heard there are issues with AMD in laptops but it's okay IDC)
RAM: Preferably 8 GB cause it's cheap and enough.

I first plan to buy the Chuwi LapBook Pro when it comes out next month. Then planning to save up for a better laptop end of year perhaps to handle CAD for my upcoming semester next year.
I've done some research the past week, this'll be my first time buying a laptop so I wanna do it right.

Is there a cheapo laptop that fits the criteria?
I was thinking Surface Laptop 2 but maybe it's overkill and more expensive than it needs to be.

1. You should give a range in budget to make things easier
2. What do you mean by double digits?

I'll suggest you to get a used/refurb laptop or tablet if you want to save up longer for a CAD laptop. If you're not urgent in using a laptop, just buy nothing and save up for a new, better laptop

1. <4k I guess.
2. Like 10+ hours

Pretty urgent unfortunately, but I don't have the funds right now for anything above 1.7k hence the Chuwi.

I'd rather CAD on something faster that cost more than something slow that costs less. Hence willing to save up a lot for a decent laptop.

I might go used if I can replace the battery, but probably can't seeing as I also want a very thin laptop (forgot to specify in my 1st post).

Just get a cheap Chuwi (or other budget options like Lenovo Miix 320-10ICR, Avita Liber)

Max weight you prefer? (in kg)

1. Budget: max RM4500

2. Usage: Microsoft Office, basic internet surfing

3. Requirements:
- display size: preferably less than 14 inches
- battery life: at least 5 hours
- hard disk: any size will do because plan to use this laptop for mostly typing
- weight: <1.5kg - as light as possible, gonna bring it around for work
- processor: at least i3
- RAM: min 4GB
- Graphic card: no preference
- others: need a HDMI port for projector



Btw, I've been searching for netbooks / 11-inch laptops but cannot find any suitable one. Any recommendation?

1.3kg

Are you suggesting a cheap laptop for CAD? Or for the urgent laptop?
