Battery life preferably around 6 hours. Not mandatory. Mostly will be used in office where powr source is available.

Monitor quality is not important actually. Preferably upgradable ram.

Can stretch to max 3.5k

Huawei Matebook D

want to ask, i5 8250u or i5 8300h enough for vmware?

Please answer my questions precisely, otherwise I can't help you:
Preferred display size? (eg 15 inch)
Preferred min battery life in hours?
Preferred max weight in kg?

Lenovo Thinkpad L480 - storage upgrade is complicated (if get HDD need add SSD via WWAN slot)
Lenovo Thinkpad E490
Lenovo Ideapad 530s 14 81EU00NRMJ / 81EU00NSMJ / 81EU00NTMJ / 81EU00NUMJ - no HDD
Lenovo Yoga 520 / Yoga 530 +RAM (1 slot only) +HDD (optional)
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Lenovo Ideapad 320S-14IKBR +RAM (1 slot only) +SSD

Small battery (>6 hrs):
Lenovo Thinkpad E490s - no HDD
Dell Vostro 5471/5481

Thinkpad A485 also good but you need battery upgrade in order to get good battery life which will make it heavier. Also, storage upgrade is complicated

Also, some ppl don't like the look of Thinkpad

It's a good model, however take note:
If you want good battery life on this model, you MUST opt for 24+72Wh battery which increases weight
Also, there's no display upgrade option (higher sRGB panel) unlike T480
QC might not be as good as T480 / other premium business laptops like Latitude 7490

2500U and 2700U are basically same, only difference is iGPU performance. KBL-R / WHL ULV and Ryzen mobile APU have about the same multi core performance, however it depends on various factors like cooling, firmware etc

Confirm no preference on weight and battery life?

What games do you play?

Thanks for the reply. i went for some window shopping and see some other option on top of your suggestion. what do you think of following model compared to your suggestion?
1. ASUS Vivobook S15 S530U
2. HP Pavilion 14-ce1062tx

yes some are 15 inch. . sorry wife dont like the thinkpad

1. OK-mediocre reviews from NBC and other popular sites - I might do my own review on it soon since my friend got one
2. Battery life too short, runs hot

Open to 15 inch?

thanks for the info. yes 15 inch. but light. about 1.8 kg n below. however its ok. i almost made up my mind. just looking for best price around. thanks for the advise

VM ? Oh boy you gotta pump it up even more


Try Shopee , people sell 'cheap' keys. Now where they are sourced from , I am not too sure but it can be legally activated. Bought Windows 10 Pro upgrade from Shoppe

hi all can recommend a laptop for me
1. Budget :3.2k
2. Usage : light gaming, watch movies, light game (dota 2 mainly)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : whatever also can.

I am helping my sister to get a multimedia and gaming laptop. Budget 4k, expect battery life at least 3 hours. Any recommendation?

No need to post everywhere bro, post here and I'll see

No preference on weight? Mind low sRGB display?

Prefer regular laptop / Ultrabook or gaming laptop? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

Illegear Raven. A few quirks but otherwise great.

regular laptop will or gaming laptop both oso ok. if possible future wanna make it to 8gb ram

I am considering to buy a laptop around RM3k. I have done some survey on the laptop. Could you guys recommend me which laptop to choose for among below three laptop? Or you guys have other recommendations as well. I put in Asus TUF FX505G because I am thinking to play Dota 2 or its better to buy a PC to play Dota 2 and exclude Asus TUF FX505G from the list.

1) Lenovo Ideapad 530S
2) Asus Vivobook S14
3) Asus TUF FX505G
