Hello,
Please assist to provide recommendations for me:

1. Budget :
RM 5k to RM 7k

2. Usage :
Output to 2-3 external monitors, CAD, Excel, browsing, videos, medium gaming.
Roughly 70% time hookup to external display and 30% travel/mobile usage.

3. Requirements:

Display size: Minimum 13"

battery life : Minimum 3 hours heavy usage

weight etc : Less than 2.5kg is ideal

Looking for something reliable that can last minimum 4 years.

Willing to wait up to 2 months.

Thank you !

Thanks, could you elaborate more with some sample models please ?

I'm actually torn between the 2 types really, maybe you could recommend one candidate from each type then I can look into them ?

My priority is for reliability, I'm willing to sacrifice some specs to remain within the RM 5 - 7k range. I'm really looking for a model that can last hassle free for at least 4 years.

I'm currently using a Macbook Air purchased in Dec 2014, that I've never had any issues with so that's my benchmark right now. Unfortunately, new Macs are now way too damn expensive lol.

Also, thanks for taking the time to respond to the many queries in here.

Ok thanks I'll look into it !

Hello boss,
I spent some time looking at the Thinkpads and found that the X1 Extreme Gen2 (appears) to have some discounts right now.

Specs I configured:
Total cost is RM7,562.

I'm thinking even if I waited for the next gen with newer components, the prices would probably be higher for similar performance. So perhaps better to get the current generation now ?
I'd appreciate any input you may have on this.

Ok thanks for pointing that out !
I'll look out for models with those GPUs
