Hi guys,
can recommend a light weight laptop(max 1.5kg) & durable which is not more than RM1500?

For typing document use only, no gaming.

Lenovo IdeaPad L340 (15, AMD)... 1080p...3500u..4gb onboard... questionable durability

A question, is the HP 15s-EQ0067AU RAM upgradeable manually?

1. Budget : 3k-3.5k
2. Usage  : Presentation, office
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Smaller and lighter the better, touchscreen

No need anything fancy, for tech illiterate fam.

Strongly considering the LENOVO YOGA C740, but it's really stretching the budget at 3.7k.
*
C640... 13.3", cheaper, smaller, lighter, w touch, equal in CPU option: it would have been better if it was w ice-lake CPU.

Dear sifus.
Need to decide one out of these laptops after watching utubes and reviews.

Dell Inspiron 14 5490- i7-10510U/8GB/256GB SSD/MX230/W10Home/2yr warranty - rm3199

Acer Travelmate P2-214-52-55B6 : i5-10210U/8GB/256GB SSD/Intel/W10Pro/3yr wty - rm3119

HP Pavilion 13-an0056TU: i7-8565U/8GB/512GB SSD/Intel/W10Home/2yr wty - rm3089

Main usage productivity and office and portability. Which one will be worth the money and can last long (many yrs). Tq
*
Specs... Dell wins...
Lasting... No one really knows: depends on luck of draw and end-user

No preference on weight.

Are Thinkpad P53s and P43s recommended? They are about 4.5k.

Which workstation would you recommend on budget?
*
53s and P43s uses the paltry intel 8th gen U series processors.

It is hopeful that the AMD's H series (4800H or higher) ws laptop options will be released soon....@around 4.5k..

Mainly(8 core to 8 core equivalence) because you pay approx. 25-30% less in price and you get equal to around 10-25% greater performance@default TDP while consuming up to 30% less power....

Looking to buy Lenovo budget casual gaming laptop in next few weeks.

Through the latest Ideapad Gaming3i would coming soon, should I wait this or opt for existing line(L340 gaming or Legion Y7000)?

Budget wise, around RM3k-3.5k

Hi looking for a laptop for my 65 year old father to use to work from home. Ideally 16" size(because he cant see letters too small) but not too heavy/bulky. He mainly needs it to send and reply emails, uses applications like Word and pdf reader so doesn't have to be high spec. Not too heavy because he might carry it around. SSD would be nice to have but not compulsory.

Resolution of 1600x900 in a 17.3 inch....

Thanks, do you know if any of those laptop have usb c display output also, and can charge at same time.
I want to occasionally plug it to my monitor.

Specifically the Acer Swift 3's usb-c has power in (19v), usb 3.2 (10gbps) & display port out.... and should be able to reverse charge/power devices or portable usb-c monitors...

Thanks for the answer bro, only the Acer advertise can be charge using the usb-c port with 65w, display out i'm not sure, possible maybe?

as for the Asus, the usb-c only support data transfer, based on this article - https://pokde.net/review/asus-vivobook-s14-m433-review/ (search for "charging" in the site)

It does.... It carries DP 1.2 signal through USB-C.... 4k@60Hz... Together with the HDMI port you can have 2 external 4k monitors@60Hz

From lenovo: Slim 7 and 5 with AMD 4000 series should be at 3k and up... (these should be XPS class in built quality but cost less).
There's also likely be a thinkbook 14s: w 4000series.
HP will have x360 or Envy w 4000series.

Was going to suggest Thinkpad with Ryzen 4000 but no idea when they will be available. The current (old) Thinkpads all have inflated prices so not sure whether you want to buy it now

Swift 3 SF314-42 still don't have 4700U model. 99% laptops have soldered CPU, same with Swift 3

Or 100% of ultraportables have soldered on CPU
