Just resigned and I gotta return my company laptop that has served me well for the past 3 years. Now looking to get my own laptop and I am so out of touch with the brands and models today. So thank in advance experts for replying.

1. Preferred brand :
I seriously have no brand preference but my previous laptop was a HP Elitebook.

2. Budget :
RM2.8ish (inclusive of Windows and Office).

3. Usage :
Mostly as a work purposes like email, web browsing and all. I don't do any graphic or video editing. Occasionally I'd love to play some games (Dota2 and CSGO) with it as well but I think these games doesnt have too high of a requirement.

So I guess certain requirement I want is basically - lightweight, lasting battery duration and able to play games like Dota2.

4. Screen Size :
Doesn't really matter. 13' is fine. 15' is fine.

Edit:

After going through some pages, just to help to narrow down the list.

Okay with non up-gradable RAM
Preferably regular laptop

Actually what is the diff between business laptop and everyday laptop?

I was given that so I got no choice but the lightweight and 13' screen seems to work fine for me. I also like how the battery can last quite long.

Having said these, if the business laptop can do some light gaming like Dota2, I will go for it.

Thanks for taking your time to reply!

X395 is a bit out of my budget actually.

Under 3k, is there anything you would recommend?

13 inch is okay. Consumer grade is okay right? Why you make it sound like they're bad haha.

No dGPU I still can play games right?

Maybe according to your opinion, what is the best under RM3k business laptop out there?

I see you are a big fan of Lenovo. Any particular reason why Lenovo has the edge over others?

Ah my bad for making this assumption.

Gonna take a look at the thinkpad series you recommended. One gripe though is the ugly design and logo on the laptop hahah
