For that price I would rather get business grade, more reliable

I need 4k output for movie

1 output enough.

Looking at these two lappie from Dell...

[attachmentid=10349527]

Which would be the better choices ?
And any pros and cons from both of this ?
Any experience users before ?

Thank you... 

Hi Sifus,

Budget 2k. Mainly programming use. Might venture into video editing hobby also. Please also recommend a 3k budget model for comparison. Will consider if it is really worth topping up to 3k.

Main req: Preferably lag-less experience doing programming/launching applications..

Thanks.

Hey bro, thanks for the recommendations. How about with below requirement?

1. Budget : Below RM2,500
2. Usage : Microsoft Office, Ai, Psd, Multiple tabs browsing

hi,
looking for good laptop to last me for the next 4-5 years

1. Budget: around 3-4k (cheaper better)

2. Usage: photoshop, movies, games, some 3D modelling software

3. Requirement: can run photoshop smooth, can play new games at high @1080p 60fps, lightweight
Upgrading from old desktop so this will be main system, I've never owned a gaming laptop ever so idk about prices

Not urgently in need, can wait for new laptop model for 2-3 months for better specs

Photoshop, REVIT, autoCAD

Hello,

My job gave me a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (6th Gen) for work. It is a solid computer: slim, powerful, good battery life, but I ran into a problem today. There is a software that I need to use which requires 16GB RAM and my 8GB RAM can barely load the software. I need to propose a new laptop to my boss any recommendation? I wanted to propose the 2020 Dell XPS 13 but I am not sure when it will get to Malaysia and it might cost >RM10K which I do not think they will be happy with it. I am currently looking at the

Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2
9th Gen I7
Windows 10 Pro
16 (8+8)GB RAM
512GB SSD
OLED Panel

It comes out to about RM8.5K which is about the same price as my current X1 when it came out I believe. So I can propose it and they might be okay with it. Anyone have a better suggestion?

yes, with bim in future work (building desktop for work)

nope, juz for work only

My thinking is less than 10K I am able to propose comfortably to my boss.

The problem is if I tell him I need 16GB ram he will base model everything and get 16gb ram. It is fine, but I am not sure how much processing power this software needs. I work in science stuff (proteomics, metabolomics etc) so my laptop would need to be able to crunch a significant amount of data in a short period of time.

OLED is not necessary, but it is mainly for sometimes I need to show stuff on my laptop to people it will just look better. Only reason I am doing my own research is to also slightly future proof the laptop. Especially in term of processing power. As science research gets more advance I will need my laptop to crunch more data.

Main use for the laptop is presentations so ports plays a factor, processing power since it will need to crunch significant amount of data, 16GB ram cause that is the minimal requirement for the new software to run, highly portable since I am on the road or in a flight >50% of my work time. The OLED is more aesthetics and not an actual need (like if you're trying to sell a car you would make sure it is clean and smells nice... while I am trying to tell people to give me more money I need to dazzle them a bit so an OLED would make my models looks better that is all... I know this doesn't matter when I am using a projector but sometimes I do not have access to projector).

My personal laptop yes it is OLED but current Thinkpad is IPS.

I did not know it existed. I am currently looking at the p1 gen 2 now... I am looking at their differences now

Yo.... 16GB is barely enough... at least a 32GB... I'm personally rocking with a 64GB system... will be upgrading to a 8 core/16thread w 128GB soon...

Programs (in metabolomics) regularly crushes 128GB...which for the time being is run on Hing-end desktops/servers and clusters... also personally building a 256GB rig

RAM size != Processing power...

Nope.... X299 or TRX40 or maybe even both

Def interested but will need to upgrade to windows 10 pro. Thanks for the recommendation
