Go orientation and ask your senior lor or anyone you knew from the same course. Glad that my course no need laptop from what I heard.

Yea cause it include 3 years warranty and some adaptor etc. but why buy now? When there's a new model coming in soon.

U mean the 13" MacBook Air is due for refresh in Sep 2016 when Apple launch the iPhone7 ?

Thanks

 

[ryan_khoo]

Meh. Hp isn't really that value for money. Try taking a look at the think pad 260 , x1( click the 260 there's a upgrade to X1 option )

You mean the upgrade +$850.65 ?

The retail price of the think pad is insanely high take for example the same i7 spec retail for 3.4k outside its like 2k only in school with 3 years onsite warranty. And it's only 1.1kg.

U mean $1,319.31 + $850.65 in campus Vs $3.4K outside ?

Can I know where you get the info that the weight is 1.1kg ?

The dell xps13 is also in.

I didn't see in the list that NTU offers xps13 leh ...where did you see that ?

Thanks

Maybe air maybe pro not sure but it has to be one..If they refresh the pro it should be lighter than current air and cheaper.

XPS 13 FHD is better. QHD+ will suck your battery very quickly. Rather go with X1. Better durability also.

Oic ... thanks bro for the info...

But can i know whether the 1.1kg is only the weight of the tablets/screen or the whole system, ie (tablet + keyboard) ?

Went to Best Denki at Tampines Mall but they do not display the X1 Carbon, the salesman said must pre-order...

Any idea where i can have a look at the X1 Carbon ?

Thanks

Paiseh paiseh, ready wrongly ...

But hor, in this link

http://shopap.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon/

there are 3 types of X1 Carbon:

1) Laptop Low End - $2,842
2) Laptop with 4G - $3,053
3) 4th Generation High End - $3,409

Why are the difference in price so great ? The only difference in the specs that I can see is in 4th Generation High End, the Ram is 16GB RAM instead of 8 GB Ram.

Also, between (1) and (2), the specs are the same ....

Does it mean if I buy (1), the laptop cannot detect and connect 4G ?

Thanks
