hi guys, my 7-yrs-old laptop went kaput yesterday. thinking to get new laptop for day to day usage - mostly web browsing and netflix/youtube... my previous laptop (ROG ASUS) has 8gb of RAM and i normally open like 15 tab simultenously without problem. does 8gb RAM still enough for future proof? i don't play game on laptop anymore.


had some quick survey, Asus vivobook 16 caught my attention. price around rm2.5k which is within my budget. any better model/brand for this price range?


and i find that all laptop nowadays come with only 512gb SSD. I feel that not enough for me (my previous have 128gb SSD + 1TB HDD). In term of cost, would it better if i upgrade on the spot or i buy seperate ssd online and go to the shop to install for me? but then i have to buy again original windows 11?

hi, just to update i finally purchased asus vivobook 16 a1605z last week. after using voucher from shopee i get it slightly below rm1.9k. 16" screen is so good that i can have better view when opening my excel sheet. having fingerprint scanner is good too. that what i think significantly different than my previous laptop. running more than 20 tabs also smooth... so far happy with it

Sorry, I can't comment on that because I only use my laptop at my desk and never bring it anywhere yet
