Hi Sifus! Kindly help me to recommend a suitable laptop with the usage & requirements as below:

1. Budget: Maximum RM3499
2. Usage: Coding, multitasking, browsing, no gaming.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc): 14" & less than 1.5kg, long battery life, DDR5 (SODIMM, not soldered) RAM is preferred.

I have been looking at Lenovo, Acer, Asus and also Dell but there's too many options at the moment and some are with U-series CPUs. Not sure if it's a good choice or the CPU speed would be slower later compared to the H/HS ones 🙏

1. Budget: around rm4k
2. Usage: for Architectural Uni Student
3. Size: 14 or 15"
4. Must have the following:
- Ryzen 7000 or 8000 series (due to battery life & decent iGPU)
- Removable DIMMs
- 2x SSD Slots
- Ideally, not OLED screen

so far I found Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen 6. Any other options?

Fellow samaritan, any good recommendation for gaming laptop as below requirement?
Why laptop? I travel alot for work.

Budget +- RM5k
1080p should be good enough as I already have 7800XT PC for 1440p.
Maybe RTX 4060 or 4070?
Mostly playing Monster Hunter, Marvel Rivals, COD, that required online and good/high fps

Not sure to pick MSI, Lenovo or Asus? or any other better brand?

Having use Dell desktop and laptops before and claim warranty, I can say dell's after sales is excellent. tech come on time as promised, replacement part never an issue even in east Malaysia. But once out of warranty, parts super expensive.
Is it all AI laptop ram cannot upgrade or only some? I try look see on website, some specifically mentioned on board ram, some mentioned sodimm ram which I assume still can upgrade?

NPU its like apple M chip.. processor, ram, igpu all on the same die chip.. thus ram CANNOT upgrade

dell laptop/pc.. when u buy.. try to max the warranty.. it is pain to buy parts after warranty end.. i very agree to this part.. sohai dell parts
