Yup need the GPU, but no need so high end one

Dear Sifu, @ZM Fong

I found this promotional offer from one of the online computer shop,

Is the Dell Vostro 5402 laptop good ? and worth to buy ?

Strictly casual end-user usage such as Microsoft offices, Zoom meeting, email, Youtube, and Facebook, and Internet surfing.

- Intel i5 Core 11 Processor
- 8 GB RAM, 3200 Mhz
- 256 GB SSD
- Full HD display
- Windows 10 pro
- 3 years warranty from Dell

RM 32XX


How about Dell Vostro 5402 compared to Dell Inspiron 5402 ? which model is better, look like the pricing is more or less the same, both are RM 3K plus

ya, actually it upgrade C and D cover to metal
can consider MSI Prestige 15 A11SB-449 with RAM upgrade
It's very similar to Inspiron actually

Your budget and wait time?

Hi ZM Fong, other than MSI, is there any brand else u recommend? How about Huawei Matebook 14 or D14/D15?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

1. Budget : below rm4k
2. Usage : mostly on Microsoft office, CAD & solidworks, or web browsing, youtube, multitasking will a lot, maybe start play some online games after buying new laptop but not AAA games.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :display size better good and big, more focus on durable laptop, weight doesnt matter, battery life also doesst matter too.

i would recommend something with dGPU, hence my recommendation
if durability is your concern, go for business laptops - however they are not cheap now

wait time?

If like this any recommended, i not really like business laptop, haha.i can wait , no rush.

Thanks ZM Fong, the best price I can find for MSI Prestige 15 is RM3699... Is there any discount code available for it?

It's only 8gb ram, do I need to addon another 8gb if I am just a light Adobe user? The most I use is Photoshop, Illustrator, short video clip editing, Unity 3D game development.

wait for cheaper RTX3050 decent models
no discount code

yes

Any brand? Or any model you can recommend, thanks

1. Budget: RM2k - RM2.5k

2. Usage: Internet surfing, stock trading, Microsoft Office, light gaming, maybe some data analysis programme/tool (thinking to pick up some data analysis skill)

3. Display size: Preferably 15 inch but 14 inch is fine too
Battery Life: Doesn't matter
Weight: Doesn't matter
Brand preference: Asus > HP > Dell

My current Asus X452L bought in December 2014 (<RM1500) serves me well just that sometimes it is getting slower and hanging. I think is time to survey for new laptop. That's why I am looking for another Asus laptop

getting laptop budget around RM2.5k, is i3 honor magicbook recommended?

1. Budget below 3k

2. Requirement :
Light ~1.7kg
battery 8 hours min
Ryzen 5000



3. Usage
words, excel, light video editing

Asus and HP don't have decent models at budget-mid range

For your budget you need to made sacrifices like build quality or performance

yes im ok with those sacrifes. it is good to go then or is there anything that can be recommended? many thanks.

If possible within 1 month. If have really good deal maybe can wait longer

you value build quality more or performance?
with coupon:

rm per value.

let me rephrase, you prefer better build quality or better system performance? can only choose 1

durability - i assume system performance?

or if you dont mind, can i know which at it best? so i can pass your recommendations to my friends.
