QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Apr 11 2019, 06:22 PM) Define fast? I want fast because I am sick of even the most basic programs like Word taking forever to start up, lol. I only want better specs because I hope to keep the laptop longer and if the specs are low, future programs may demand a lot of heavier specs soon and my laptop will become useless very quickly.Mind non-upgradable RAM? Mind low sRGB display? Any preference on weight and battery life? Open to other brands? (brands don't matter much TBH)  Low sRGB is OK. If it's decent to begin with then non-upgradable RAM is OK. Weight no particular preference.. mmm 2kg? Battery life no particular preference.. 6 hours? Other brands - looking for quality build that won't spoil easily, prefer an established name over lesser known brands for that reason. So far I am comfortable with Asus and Dell. |
