Hi Fong,
Is there a 2in1 laptop that does i7,8gig ram and at least 512 ssd?
Battery life also must power one. And maybe less than 6k? I'm using it for trading while travelling need to do internet stuff while at the airport.
I think I check all the review sites, they all seem to come with prices starting from 6k.
Either that or I think dell xps 13. But problem is that one is slightly over 6k.
Actually a bit conflicted also choosing between the 2in1 or just traditional laptop. What do you think?

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 7 2019, 01:03 PM) Do you need touchscreen with pen support or wants to save space / use laptop in tight space? If no, don't get 2 in 1 Ok looks like 2in1 is no go then. QUOTE i5 ULV and i7 ULV basically don't have performance difference
Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM? I see in that case, i5 would be fine. 16 gig not necessary right? What's srgb? I'm not sure if it's important or not. But I do like my display to not look washed out. Meaning vivid colours> bland colours. Non-upgradable ram doesn't matter if you have at least 8gigs right? |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 7 2019, 01:45 PM) Some models don't have upgradeable RAM so you might want to get 16GB. 8GB is minimum nowadays, maybe in next few years 16GB become standard. Who knows Higher sRGB means more vivid colours. Low sRGB = washed out colours Would suggest business grade laptops since your budget allows So in that case, just go with the dell xps 13? |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 7 2019, 02:03 PM) XPS 13 is consumer grade May I know your preferred display size, max weight and min battery life? Fine with non-upgradeable 8GB RAM? No size preference. But I suppose can't be too big coz I forsee me working at the airport or a mobile desk. Weight should be light. Battery life as long as possible. I'll be watching markets. And might have to watch for a few hours. Fine with non upgradable ram. If that's the case, I'll just get 16gig. No issue. But again, like I said budget around 6k is ok la. More than 7k I feel is too expensive for a use once a month situation. |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 7 2019, 02:24 PM) Fine with max 1.5kg? TBH I don't think you need to spend RM6k 1.5kg sounds fine. Although.. im not sure if that's considered heavy or not lol. Lighther is better tbh. |

And some even give windows pro... The dell latitude really catches my attention. Can't understand why it's cheaper than xps This post has been edited by Emily Ratajkowski: Oct 7 2019, 03:14 PM |

QUOTE(msacras @ Oct 7 2019, 03:32 PM) XPS is Dell's answer to premium laptop market like Macbook of Apple. Its generally more concentrate on the lightness, style and premium experiences than performance and functionality. In short, its specifically designed for ppl who want a Macbook-ish laptop that run on Windows. On the other hands, those Thinkpad and Latitude lines of laptops are meant for business or corporate markets. Their main focus will be on stability and durability. For your requirement, a Thinkpad X395 is the perfect solution to you, but you just missed the CITIBANK partnership sale which lower its price down to 3.1k-ish. There's still a chance that there will be more sales upcoming, so do keep an eye arounds if youre interested in X395. I see. Will keep an eye out. |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 8 2019, 03:29 PM) FYI Comet Lake isn't much different compared to Kaby Lake Refresh (eg 10210U vs 8250U So you're saying the 10 series not worth waiting for? I saw like some brands are already updating their processors with the 10series. Was tempted to buy. But no review so scared lol. 10.10 sale coming up, maybe I should use it to buy some older models on promo. |
