For low sRBG no, one of my option HP ENVY 13 is not upgradable, but I hope the laptop can lasts for at least 4 years and still running smoothly.

I would prefer 1080p display.

Thanks for your recommendation.

I think I will focus on Lenovo Yoga S730, HP Envy 13, Lenovo Ideapad 530s 14 and Dell Inspiron 13 7380.

I am wondering how long can lenovo ideapad 530s battery last?

Lenovo Yoga S730 is quite attractive in terms of design and spec with that price, unfortunately, there are no USB-A, but I am still interested but there are no much review. Does anyone own Lenovo Yoga S730 and can share their experience with me?

I didn't see Lenovo ideapad 530s in Lenovo retail store in Plaza Lowyat, is anyone know where could I find it in Klang Valley area? I'd like to hand on the laptop before buy it.



The price indeed is too low for the spec and machine

I saw some of the reviews said that Lenovo ideapad 530s battery only can lasts 5-6 hours. I know I can buy it online, but I'd like to hand on the laptop to feel the keyboard and trackpad before make decision.

Thanks anyway.
