Hi, been reading your post and generated the following specs for your recommendations: -

1. Budget : 2.8k – 3.5k
2. Usage: Office related, light gaming (the sims 4 with medium graphic setting if possible)
3. Display size – 14 – 15 inch (with touch screen)
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 notworthy.gif

Am myself looking at  Acer Swift 5 seriesand Asus Vivobook S15 series. Anyhow, am open to few suggestions. Might look at the design later.

I think some sacrifices are needed: increase budget, no touchscreen, no upgradeable RAM. Choose 1 or 2

Sifu ZM - Still cant seem to get it to work, have removed all the dan lain2 and only added - 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD & 300nits 100%RGB display. Comes up to RM3671 now lol.
The base price is RM3749
Your price is RM4589

Is this correct?

In that case, If I increase budget what option do I have and what price range am I looking at? I can forego the touch screen feature but
would love to have upgradeable RAM.

If I opt for no touch screen, no upgradeable RAM, what option do I have?

Okay i know what i did wrong, instead of Primary hardisk change to 512mb i need to change Secondary hardisk to 512mb instead. So will get the default 60w battery instead of 80w battery. So i assume this is the way to do it?

Just checked, there's no decent 14-15 inch model with high sRGB display and upgradeable RAM in your budget unless you're fine with refurbished options: Dell Latitude 7400 DFO. No dGPU though

Non-upgradeable RAM (8GB RAM) no touchscreen:
Acer Swift 3 SF314-55G-55DX

Non-upgradeable RAM (8GB RAM) with touchscreen, no dGPU:
Lenovo Yoga C740 14 customize (optional 16GB)
Lenovo Yoga C740 15 customize 500nits (optional 16GB)
Acer Swift 5 SF514-54T-52AS / 50GD

Hi. I need a laptop recommendation.
Budget: up to 2.5k
Good build quality and not too heavy as my sister will be using it. At least 256GB 8GB.
Mostly for student use; office, movies etc.

Edit: Integrated graphics is fine. Good display is a plus but not a must considering the budget.

Thanks!

If you want good display, this is the only option for your budget. Unless you're fine without it

I have the same requirement as you too, and I narrowed down into two models (both 4500U):

Acer Swift 3 AMD SF314-42 (RM2599) - Found in Shoppee

Asus VivoBook S14 M433I-AEB005TS/6TS/7TS/8TS (RM2899) - Found in Shoppee


I was also looking around Xiaomi and Huawei's, unfortunately the 4k series is not available yet.

Currently leaning towards Acer Swift 3, going to buy in 2-3 days time (still reading people's recommendation in forums and websites) unless found another model that's within my price range (<RM3000)

Yeah these 2 are decent budget options, however Flex 5 has more raw CPU performance due to higher power limits
