hi all! looking for a new ultrabook, main priority is that the device has to be thin and light as possible, with decent enough specs for casual use.

budget: RM5k MAX
usage: microsoft office, movie streaming, web browsing
waiting period: depends on whether the ultrabook recommended is worth waiting for

i've already shortlisted the Acer Swift 5 and Huawei Matebook 14 R5 2021, wondering if there's any other recommendable ultrabooks that i've missed out?

thanks!

for your reference: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4771316

do you need 16GB RAM?

thanks for the reference. i've gone through it and noticed most of the laptops are out of stock or unavailable, like the Huawei Matebook 14 (i5-1135G7) for example.

any of the ultrabooks within the 4-5k budget in particular that's worth waiting for?

i guess if i'm paying >RM4k would be nice to have 16GB of RAM, especially since there are options within that price range with16GB of RAM.

unless there's an ultrabook with 8GB of RAM that's better then the ultrabook with 16GB of RAM in a few other aspects then maybe can compromise.

your main priority is light weight?

yeah i'd say main priority. but of course specs should also be 'decent' la laugh.gif

enough for simple casual tasks and multitasking
