hi bro,

can you please recommend some laptop model (below rm3.5k) for me?

requirement (priority from high to low):
1) light weight
2) long battery life
3) super fast power on
4) not hot after operate for long hours
5) usage: excel , web page surfing/edit, e-commerce, photo & video editing (for e-commerce only). NON-gaming.
6) minimum 8GB RAM & 256GB SSD, need HDMI output to occasionally connect to external monitor, ok without gaming GPU as long as it don't have negative impact on priority 1-4.
7) 11-14 inch laptop screen.

This laptop is mainly for e-commerce purpose, and non-gaming, and it will be carry around when traveling / going out.

I prefer non-Lenovo brand, been to SenQ but apparently nowadays all those laptop below rm3k all sold out !

Hi, Do you mind share how do you manage to get it for RM2.8k? Looking for a Ryzen 5 4600U for around RM2.8k. As a teacher, my main usage is office documents, light browsing, and occasional light graphics work.

Hoping all sifus can recommend. Don't mind waiting for a month+.

1) if now got good recommendation? if later any models i need to keep an eye on & how long ETA?

2) no need 16gb ram

3) HD display is ok, not really going for 4k. 13' / 14' / 15' is okay, no preference there actually. 256gb storage min (imho not really keen on having that low on board storage). type-c/thunderbolt is not a priority. if can jimat on win10/office365, i'd take it, im comfortable installing that myself. probably okay webcam, for this PKP age, i guess?. AMD/Intel is fine, but those amd mobile chips tho hngh.

I think better search and buy earlier if possible as I was at Low Yat last week and many shop owners complain not enough stock for the bigger brands!
