Hi guys,

Any suggestions base on this specification?

1. Budget
# 2k - 2.5k if possible

2. Usage
# internet multi-tab browsing
# microsoft office
# zoom, webex, google meet calls
# a bit of torrenting for watching movies/series

3. Requirement (display size, battery life, weight etc)
# around 14"-16"
# decent battery life (8 hours I guess)
# has a numpad
# around 2kg or less
# 8GB RAM
# mainly for writing up docs/pdf
# gaming is not important

not much ok options in this price range...fine with 2c4t i3 CPU and 256GB storage?

256GB SSD? Sure.

2c4t i3 CPU, I'm not so sure about this one...will it be slow with an i3?

Don't do heavy multi task then ok

Actually which laptop model has this 2c4t i3 CPU?

What would you consider as heavy multi task?

If I were to up the budget to 2.7k, would I have better options?

would say wait a bit to see got lower price/more options or not

fine with non upgradeable 8GB RAM?

yup, no need to upgrade the RAM, 8GB I think is more than enough

Curious, how did you manage to get that price? I went to the Lenovo site and tried to configure the build to the image that you had and it came out as RM2.7k
