Then anyone would do - you can look at similiar suggestion for that price range

Seriously - if you are an iTunes/heavy iPhone user - consider getting Mac. I am an ex-mac , ex-iphone user , so I know about this

Best bang for buck , custom-made tested , for RM 2999 it's pretty good....1050 is okay for eSports and other light gaming (you can play most games at full hd medium settings anyway)

Cheapest yet good would be Illegear Raven right now

Cheapest yet good - Illegear Raven for now

Mind low sRGB display? Any preference on weight, battery life and display size?

Hello people,

1. Make / Brand : Acer, HP
2. Model : Haven't shortlist any yet
3. Tech Spec's : At least 4GB RAM with 250GB or 500GB HDD.
4. Additional Info : For personal / office use only.
5. Willing To Consider Other Alternatives ? : Yes, if any similar spec
6. Budget: MYR 1K - 1.5K (Mostly are Intel Celeron in this price range. Are there others?)


Thanks in advance.

Suggest buying used/refurb

Forgo the CPU part first, 4GB RAM and HDD aren't suitable for W10 tbh. If you really want a new laptop below 1.5k, you need to stick with 4GB non-upgradable RAM and slow CPU for years.

Worth buying?

Buy from their website, starts from rm2999 now

really depends on what games you play and video settings used

Define smoothly

You okay as long can whack at any resolution/any graphics settings ?

I need to know smooth , also smooth in DOTA can mean latency/lag

So be clear on the requirements here , graphics details or how...?

i just realized that too, what a shock

no, not latency or lag issue.
as long as can display nicely - not boxy and no need very high details also.
something like the movement is smooth?

If you want , I can also suggest some business laptops - like AMD A-series


Yes - these lower end ones can still play the game at a lower resolution....

If you can wait, they do offer some free upgrades like RAM, calibration and thermal pasting when they have promo.

Thanks & appreciate your advice bruh..

Shall lobby around for used/refurb units then.

I dont mind bout the weight, if posibble battery life can use up to 4 hours is better but not priority.

(My current laptop is ACER MODEL MS2343 / Aspire 4755G Year 2011 Manufactor with Screen/Display14 inch HD LCD 16:9, 1366 x 768 pixel, glossy)

Above column is my current laptop hope can upgrade for my future laptop on display size and sRGB display. TQ

i not sure whether i am heavy iPhone user or not, iphone mostly use on take photo, whatsapp, wechat, facebook, messenger... but the main problem right now is my current iPhone has system problem need to connect iTunes to activate it, but unfortunately my current year 2011 laptop cant install new version of iTunes that's why is important to have laptop that can install new version of iTunes

Lenovo Thinkpad E490, E590, E490s, E480, E580 customize - opt for 3 yr warranty upgrade
Lenovo Ideapad 530s 14 81EU00NRMJ/ SMJ/ TMJ/ UMJ
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Lenovo Yoga 520 81C80016MJ / 17MJ +RAM
Lenovo Ideapad 320s-14IKBR 81BN0071MJ / 81BN0072MJ +RAM+SSD

I only include those with >6 hrs battery life, otherwise there will be too many options to choose from

1. Budget : RM2k - RM2.7k. Maybe can stretch to RM3k.
2. Usage : Mainly on office use (Microsoft Office, Gmail, Adobe Illustrator etc) and personal use (surfing, youtube, etc)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : I prefer a display size of 13". Max 14". Something lightweight and battery life around 9-10 hours is ok.

Any budget recommendation for requirements as above?
