Hi sifus, I am looking for laptop with
1. Price below RM2.8k
2. Light weight (below 2kg or 1.7kg - travelling overseas)
3. Durable, nice build quality (Last for 5 years)
4. Long battery life (6-8hours usage)
Any suggestions?
Is Matebook D a good deal?

And also, mind telling what's the difference between T495 and X395? How about Thinkbook 13?Thanks!

Do you really need touchscreen? If yes, need pen support?

The main difference is T495 has upgradeable RAM (1 slot) while X395 is smaller and lighter

Thinkbook is Ideapad rebrand

Not necessary actually but preferable. No pen support required.

3500U, W10 Home, 8GB onboard, 256GB NVMe (512GB if you want), FHD IPS touch (if want high sRGB, opt for 400 nits option), 65W adapter

Other things that aren't mentioned are optional. No backlit keyboard though

Add another 8GB by your own (in the empty slot). If you want max 32GB then opt for 16GB onboard and add 16GB by yourself

Don't use 'SCHOOL' code, wait for another one

Is there a huge difference between 3300U and 3500U?
Would you suggest to take 3300U then?

Hello all.

Any thought on this? HP 15s-du1058tx.

Plan to get one soon smile.gif

Better go for something with 8gb ram or above, 4gb isn't sufficient for next few years..
