Hello,

I'm planning to get a thin laptop for my gf for normal office use.
Currently eyeing on Asus Zenbook UM462D-AAI501T and Huawei MateBook D.

Any opinion on this 2?
My gf don't want business grade cause of the look doh.gif

Budget around 3k

Asus seems nice as it's 512GB SSD and battery life seems good, but thickness wise seems a bit thick?

Anyone used either of it can give some review?

haha I can totally understand that

UM462 actually has lower battery capacity compared to Intel counterpart UX462, so expect battery life of 7 hrs or less

Preferred max weight and min battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

Yeah so I'm struggling to get one now biggrin.gif

Preference will be:
- Thin & lightweight (no need to be thinnest and lightest, i know my budget cant achieve biggrin.gif )
- 7 or 8 hours of battery life is good enough tho, I doubt she will work so long without plugged in
- sRGB don't really matter much, cause she is not those eye candy type, she just need to get work done
- as long as it's 8gb ram it's fine, else 4gb + top up to add another 4gb
- 256 / 512 SSD (no need pcie also can)
- 14 / 13 inch

RM3k can get decent consumer grade models under 1.5kg:
Lenovo Thinkbook 13s 20R900DWMJ: upgradeable RAM (1 slot), 3 yr warranty
Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-54A3/5699
Acer Spin 5 SP513-53N-52HJ
Lenovo Ideapad S540-14API 81NH000MMJ: low sRGB IPS
Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R0CS/R2YE +RAM : low sRGB IPS but has upgradeable RAM (1 soldered, 1 slot)

X395 is having sale now, just saying
