14 no problem, I would prefer light laptop (that is why I look on xps in the first place hahaha)

you can refer to here for other options: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4771316
initially wanted to suggest Yoga S740 but sold out...

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm not in a hurry for the laptop so I can wait. Is there another few options besides the Yoga S740? (Pricing can vary slightly but still prefer the lightness if the laptop)

TBH there aren't many Ultrabooks with good display+dGPU+16GB RAM below RM4k, unless you willing to make some sacrifices (eg 8GB RAM, no dGPU)

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can ppl here suggest, a laptop with a rm4k budget, use for college level animation rendering?

Looking for a laptop to be used by university student.

Budget: RM1500
Usage: Microsoft Office, normal uni student work nothing heavy, watch movies and drama, no gaming
Preference: Display 13-16
Weight: <1.8
Battery: 4-6 hours

If u can list a few recommendations, I would love to.
Thank youu

No preference on weight or battery life

Ya thats the thing worried about price over there also but then got problem means difficult also

Any preferences on weight and battery life? Which programs you'll be using (if know any)?
Suggest going used/refurb business laptops
The choice is yours - either sacrifice price or warranty/aftersales

Look for a laptop budget 1.5k. Not heavy use, for student. If dunwan 2nd hand laptop, can suggest me a model?

the problem is, there is no new model under RM1.5k that I would call 'decent' or even 'acceptable'. Too many sacrifices (eg performance, build quality, battery life etc)

Should be ok
I saw 2 models that may fit my criteria
Acer swift 5
Dell Inspiron 7000
Both with touchscreen.

China unit
Lenovo Ideapad C340-14IWL 81N4003YMJ / 40MJ

If you want Ryzen 4000: Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 81X2002XMJ (apply code LENXCIMB)

Swift 3 and Inspiron 7000 are out of your budget

1. Budget : 2.8k – 3.5k

4. sRGB Display – high
5. Upgradable RAM – Yes, preferable
6. Weight – light weight and easy travel
7. Battery life – 5 – 6 hrs
8. Time - Urgent. make the purchase now

Thanks in advance
