Hi Sifus
Budget - RM5k-6k
Usage - cad works, programming , light gaming
Waiting time - can wait

Got budget from the company to buy a new laptop.
Any recommendation?,
currently using 7 year old z50 lenovo laptop recommended here in prev thread. Works great.

Hi kerm. Acer Aspire 5 will take you pretty far at a much smaller budget (RM2.5k approx). If you're willing to stretch that budget a bit, you can try out the Acer ConceptD 7. Top of the line for cad. Last check on Lazada pegged it at RM6,969.

Budget: around 5k

Usage: abit docker, virtualisation, coding, software dev. otherwise just general use. No gaming

Requirement:

13 or 14 inch
prefer Lenovo, esp Thinkpad but other brands also welcomed
16gb RAM min
512gb SSD min
no need ultra thin laptops
I am thinking T14 (AMD) or X13, but sifus might be able to recommend better one. T14 looks good but it is sold out in Lenovo site.

Swift 5 (SF514-55TA-70TD) falls right in your budget and requirements. Thin also la, but I'm sure that's a plus point not a minus laugh.gif https://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/models/laptops/swift5

conceptd 7 looks sleek.  i can only go 6k max though.
aspire 5 probably value for money but is there anything in between?

Paiseh. Went off for CNY didn't have time to come look back here hahaha. Gong xi gong xi.

Acer Concept D3 would be in between. RM5699 according to Technave. https://technave.com/gadget/Acer-ConceptD-3...pecs-24816.html

I'm using it for usual office work, nothing intense, normal browsing. I think it should be okay with 8GB ram, yea?

Try Acer Swift 3. At Rm3.3k is well within your budget and specs. Most important for work is reliability. Will definitely last you well beyond warranty.

I've been looking to 2 model right now, lenovo ideapad flex 5 and dell Inspiron 14 non touch screen, ideapad more expensive 30 ringgit then Inspiron, same ryzen 5,help me please

Would pick Lenovo over Dell. Personally not a fan of Dell. Might just be me but my laptops always barely run over warranty before giving up on me.

Can also try Acer Swift 1. Cheaper than Ideapad and should give you the same specs + reliable.

Thank you for your recommendation, I'll look into it. I think this is laptop, not 2-1 as tablet yea?

Ya that's right. If you want a 2-in-1 try the Acer Spin 3 instead.

Hi all, I'm new here.
My second-hand Acer laptop of 6 years battery conk-ed (need to plug in charger only can turn on) and planning to retire it  tongue.gif

I am looking to get myself a brand new laptop for my daily usage.
Budget wise would be around 5k - 6k

Any good recommendation
If I am not wrong, can I get a Nvida RTX Graphic card laptop at this price ?
Am I able to get something fancy like RGB as well ?
Currently there's way too many laptops and I'm unable to keep up with the current trends lol  doh.gif

Mainly usage -

Occasional gaming like Fortnite, Dota 2. some other AAA games
Daily net surfing, watching movies, Youtube
Editing documents.

Hoping to get some insights from some Sifus here.
*
Well within budget for an NVidia RTX. If you want something fancy that scratches that itch, go for Predator Helios 300. RM5.5k dead center.

Hi, been out of the loop for laptops but currently looking for a laptop with max budget 5k. Requirements are as per below

- For data crunching so need at least 6 core CPU and Nvidia GPU
- Upgradeable RAM/SSD
- Not too heavy
- Good IPS-type screen
- Doesn't look too gamer (laptop to be used for work)
- Decent build quality (doesn't creak too much when lifted etc)

Thanks

Can consider the following:

Dell XPS 15
Asus ROG Strix G
Acer Swift 7

May be tough to stay within budget for those specs unless refurbished. Might want to consider topping up a bit.

If sticking with Lenovo, go for Flex 5. https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/ideapa...5/p/88IPF501453

Hi Sifus,

1. Budget : 3k++
2. Usage  : Ms Office apps (excel, ppt,teams mainly), Browsing, Entertainment (youtube,netflix)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : looking for thin and light and durable, will carry in my messenger bag probably without any sleeve everyday.  Small would be good, 13 sweet spot i think. Need good battery life eg 8-10hrs productivity work. No gaming.

HP Envy 13 hits your requirements but bit steeper price at RM3699. If you don't mind 14 inch you can try Acer Swift 3 at RM2599

Hi

Need recommendation for student - sekolah menengah.

Budget around 3k
what about macbook air?

Thanks
*
Macbook Air starts at RM4k. Not sure you can get refurbished at that price or not. If its just for school recommend lower end specs.

Try Acer Swift 3 or Aspire 5. Swift nowadays preinstalled with Win11 already but Aspire can still get with Win10.

How about HP Aero 13?

Comparable to Envy 13. Aero 13 holds a small charge (10 hr vs 16 hr) and is slightly lighter, while being slightly cheaper.

M1 Macbook Air goes for RM4.2k for 256GB, RM5.2k for 512GB right now. Consider applying to Apple's education pricing program. Might be able to get a further discount on what you're looking for. https://www.apple.com/my/shop/education-pricing

Dear Sir/Madam,

Enquiring a laptop for a friend.

1. Budget : 5k (max)
2. Usage  work +  gaming 
3. Requirements: good webcam, decent audio, gaming (mid settings will do), if possible not too heavy .
4. Wait time: not in a rush so can wait.

After watching tons of YouTube video, I got more confused .....some say this is good, some say is bad...sigh

Your response is much appreciated. Thank you.

Have to be prepared to spend to get a good gaming laptop. Having said that, RM5k can still get you something decent. Try out Acer Nitro 5.
