- Uses for Movies and stream watching ( youtube / Netflix )

- Very light gaming

- Occasional office work (email, excel, word etc...)


Prefer something with :

- good screen ( since it's mostly for movie watching)
- Decent sound
- Good battery life
- Doesn't get hot very fast
- SSD storage
- Upgradeable storage/ram




-Bonus if the laptop looks cool.



BUDGET : RM 3000 and below. Lower is better laugh.gif

not for me but for someone else.

games is for little kids that share the laptop not games that uses really high resources.
I don't really know what games they play, so let's just say a "default" minecraft level of game.

Don't need high sRGB. So, if it's looks good when watching movies it's perfect.

something like 3 hours or so battery life? enough to last one movie and bit more? this is just a guess.

I don't think watching netflix/youtube uses much battery.

If you had to choose between good screen and upgradeable RAM, which would you choose?

Also note that most Ultrabooks / regular laptops have poor / OK sound quality, best also 'decent' only

D15 looks really good. Is Huawei's warranty/support decent?

Pretty good.

They've got a lot of service center scattered around the Klang Valley.

All sifus, any other recommendations with price below RM3500, light weight, suitable for University student?
It will be great if it comes with a dedicated GPU.

Sorry for late reply.

okay, let's put the sound aside.

Hmm... I say good screen. Because this laptop is going to be used lightly.

that of course, if the screen is really good.
