Mind non-upgradeable RAM? Min how many hours of battery life? Need dual storage?
I don't think there is any decent 17 inch model unless you go for gaming laptops

If the ram is 8gb or more i dont mind non upgradable, as the laptop is mainly used for master study, to work on assignment.. Prefer to be abv 8 if possible, as there will be a lot multitasking

Around 4 to 8hrs on browsing only.. But i think most laptop nowadays should last that long with just browsing?

Storage wise, prefer to have 1 ssd with 256 or 512gb, dont plan to get sdd+hdd as hdd will make the laptip thicker, fyi i can always move archive stuff to external hdd.

Not sure im too demanding for my budget or not, been too long since i follow laptop stuff 😅

Budget: 2.5k

Usage: Office, web browsing, watch video etc, a bit multi tasking

Requirement:
- 8GB ram
- 256GB SSD or higher
- 14 inch and light weight
- i5 (or i3 is fine as well)
- if can exclude OS to reduce price, I'm fine as well

I found Asus Vivobook x420FA almost have what I needed, however not sure it's available in MY or not

Most Vivobooks are mediocre

*Lenovo Thinkbook 14s 20RM003LMJ / 13s 20R900DWMJ with 3 yr warranty (use code LENXCIMB)
*Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-54A3/5699: non-upgradeable RAM
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R0CS/R2YE +RAM

*high sRGB IPS

If bump to RM3k can get business grade laptop

Thanks for the suggestion.

How is the built quality of acer swift 3 54A3?
Is the battery life ok? Can last for roughly 4 to 6hrs?
