QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 8 2020, 05:16 PM) May I know what games do you play? Preferred max weight in kg? Most of the time Thinkpads need to be bought from Lenovo website At the moment the games using emulator, not the graphic/resource hungry ones. Prefer lighter ones, but the screen size minimum is 13.3 inch, max is 14 inch. Can be FHD or UHD. Thanks.

Can be FHD or UHD. Thanks. Can consider T495 or X395, both models are good enough for your usage, don't need to spend RM4k. For customization, let me know if you need any help

No such restrictions.... the main reason for business class laptops is for the ease of repair/upgrade (by the IT departments of businesses) + durability... specific example: Lenovo's Thinkpads/Thinkbooks.....

Hi guys,
I’m currently looking for an ultra book with the following preference:
-thin and light (below 1.4kg) -not for heavy gaming (max also maybe csgo) -4K display is an advantage -preferably i7 gen10 -ssd500gb -16gb ddr -budget below 6k if possible
I have short listed:
X1 carbon, yoga c940 and x390. Please advise and suggest other brand if I missed out any good models out there.

Also, 10th gen ULV (CML, IL) isn't really faster than 8th gen ULV (KBL-R, WHL) Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM? Any preference on battery life? Need dGPU/decent iGPU?

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Mar 7 2020, 03:16 PM) May I know why would you want a 4k display? Mostly for 4K movies and video streaming. Also, 10th gen ULV (CML, IL) isn't really faster than 8th gen ULV (KBL-R, WHL) I’m ok to that as I need a i7 mainly to run afew business software I.e. ifca, and afew data analytics software at once during work and any lag or hang issue will really be a no no. Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM? Any preference on battery life? Need dGPU/decent iGPU? Preferabally a non srgb and upgradable ram. But I can live with a 16gb non-upgradable ram.
