Hi there everyone, I'm currently looking for a laptop for my sister. She's majoring in accounting at uni and casually using it for Photoshop and Lightroom

Budget: RM5000 (should be more than enough for what she's doing)

Usage: Accounting and casually using it for Photoshop and Lightroom

Requirements

a. display size: 13 inch
b. battery life: Should last her the whole day for classes and such
c. weight: Light is better

If the laptop comes with less RAM/Storage but as a cheaper option, I can upgrade it for her as I have a spare SSD and 16GB(8x2) DDR4 RAM with me
Hope sifu can help me out here

Edit: Forgot to mention, does not need to max out budget at all. Can be well below budget (like 2-3k) and it should be good enough.

Ah I see, they seem to be good prices for some of them too!

How would you rate Lenovo's aftersales service (if you know abt this)?
Me and a few friends have been through Dell's aftersales service and we had a pretty good experience with it!

Ah alrighty!
Any other laptops which you would recommend around the rm3k range too?

Oh, same as the above one for 5k range.
Weight light should be okay
Screen doesn't need to be 100% srgb, just look nice should be good for her

Yeap 14 inch is still good
I'll also be checking out all the others you recommend and show her in the end for her to choose

Edit: Seems she forgot one crucial detail, a number pad is also needed as well!
Sorry abt that

This is what she sent to me yesterday when I asked her to list down what she needed

Numpad needed
Long battery life
Good touchpad
With everything else she asked earlier

Well showed her those, but didn't like that middle mouse feature at the keyboard

Oh I see, well let's check out consumer grade too!
I'll show her in the end and let her decide anyways!

Oh, then under Rm5k?

Ah I see, well I was checking out the Inspirion series from Dell too, what do you think abt that?

I can give her my 8GB 2666 ram to upgrader the laptop to 16gb too!
What do you think?

I've talked to her abt the numpad thing, she said she doesnt mind an external one, if it allows here to get a better or cheaper laptop
Thanks in advance for all yr help!

Do check out the Rig Recommendation thread on Lowyat
Also, it's cheaper and easier to build a desktop instead!

Alrighty thank you my man!

Hi there sifu
Would like to get a laptop recommendation!

Is it possible to get things

1. Budget : ~RM3000
2. Usage : MS Office work, mainly for uni
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
Since might be bringing it around for classes, so something light
Good battery life so that don't need to bring the charger often


Thank you for all that helps out

Thank you!

Hello sifu, would like a laptop recommendation.

1. Budget : RM3-4k
2. Usage : Gaming (mainly CSGO) and uni work mainly
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
Display size (prefer 17 inch if possiblem but if it's too much of a compromise then 15inch should be good), battery should be okay for some uni classes as well

Thank you!

Ah yes, saw this one just need to get a 16gb RAM kit and should be good to go. Thanks!

Maybe 4-5hrs?
Weight, shouldn't be too heavy. 2-3kg im guessing

Which model boss? Also, what are the specs for that one?
