The i5 6200u and integrated graphics are good enough for my uses. My budget is sub rm4k.<br /><br />So I&#39;ve narrowed down my choices to these 2: <br />1) Acer Aspire S13<br />2) Asus Zenbook UX305UA<br /><br />They both have similar specs in terms of the following:<br />-i5-6200u<br />-256gb ssd<br />-8gb ram<br />-1080p IPS display<br />-Battery seems to be good on both according to various reviews<br /><br />The Acer is about rm600 cheaper at rm3400 compared to the Asus at rm4000, but apart from that there aren&#39;t any other major differences I can see between the two laptops. <br /><br />So, does anyone have any experience with either of these laptops? What differences should I be aware of between the two? Is one definitely better than the other? Is the extra rm600 for the Asus worth anything? I&#39;ve read an article here before that friends don&#39;t let friends buy Asus. Just how true is that with respect to this model?<br /><br />Thanks Disclaimernotice Mobile Computing Mon, 11 Jul 2016 17:52:43 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2789490 Hi. I was considering getting this laptop to replace my current Aspire 5755g:<br /><a href='http://www.sony.com.my/product/svs13a36pg' target='_blank'>http://www.sony.com.my/product/svs13a36pg</a><br />Its specs include: i7 3540, Nvidia gt640m le, 256gb ssd, 1.61 kg, 7 hours of battery life<br /><br />However, I have a few questions and worries, which I was hoping you guys could help me out with, before I make the purchase:<br />1) Is Sony planning on refreshing the vaio lineup any time soon? Should I wait a few months for the prices to drop or for a newer model to be released?<br />2) Are Sony vaio laptops durable and lasting? I don&#39;t want to be spending 5799 on a laptop that can&#39;t last at least 3 years<br />3) Is the gt 640m le at least as good as a gt 540m, which is my current graphics card?<br />4) Are there any alternatives I should consider that might be cheaper? I want a dedicated graphics card, &lt;1.8kg weight, long battery life and ssd memory. Also, a 13 inch screen is preferable. I can&#39;t seem to find any others that fit these criteria. Most 13 inchers lack dedicated graphics while others have poor battery life. <br /><br />Finally, does anyone have this laptop? Because I can&#39;t find any reviews of it at all on the Internet. If you do, can you give me your opinions of it? Disclaimernotice Mobile Computing Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:19:43 +0800
