Help with budget laptop recommendation

barrybear — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 23:59:26 +0800

Hey guys!

Have not been in touch with the current laptops now and need your help sifus with some recommendations.

The laptop budget would be preferably from RM2k to RM2.5k. Mostly being used for:
- Browsing & surfing online
- Writing documents (up to 50 pages or more in Microsoft Word) and powerpoint (up to 150 slides or more)
- Watching movies
- Would be awesome if its light and portable too!

I came across a few like the:
- Acer Swift 1
- Lenovo Ideapad 320s
- Asus Zenbook UX330CA
- or even a Macbook Air 11".

Not sure which is the best for me or if there's any other models out there that could better fit the usage.

Thanks!

Hey all!

I've made a few calls and apparently there's a shop in LYP offering the Lenovo G480 for only RM1499 while a few others are offering for about RM1999. Is the price too good to believe?

By the way the laptop to be obtained have the same specs - i5 processor with the Nvidia graphic card.

Dell Studio 15 or BenQ Joybook R47-LE02

Hey there! i was thinking of buying a new laptop, since i'll be entering college soon and it'll b easier to carry around. I play decent games like, DOTA, L4D, CS, etc. Nothing really that heavy.

Im planning to do an engineering course, and i was advised to get a decent graphic card to be able to support programs like AUTOCAD and PRO-E(these programs are part of the engineering course). I heard Intel graphics aint ..that good. So, i thought of going with nVidia/ATI graphics with an Intel processor.

My budget is of below RM3,000. Preferably, below RM2,500.

So, i was looking around, and i found these two laptops, Dell Studio 15 and BenQ Joybook R47-LE02.

These are the specs of the laptops:

Dell Studio 15
Processor: Intel Centrino Processor Technology - Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400 (2GHz)
Memory: 2GB Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive: 320GB Hard Drive
Graphic Card: 512MB ATI Radeon HD4570
Price: RM2799

BenQ Joybook R47-LE02
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
Memory: 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
Hard Drive: 320GB
Graphic Card: nVidia GeFore 9300M GS
Price: RM2399

I would need advise on which I should go for. Any further information that can be provided about these two laptops are most certainly appreciated!

If you have any other recommendations for me, please state I will certainly be most glad. Thanks!! =D
