13" laptop recommendation

[SKinny86]

Physical wise is really good to handle.

I'm also using my old IdeaPad bought in 2011 which lasted till now.

The only problem is the Windows 10 restarting problem I'm facing.

XPS is a good choice and also try to bargin with the shop to give u a 8GB RAM.

Oh, Wa.. 710S also like not bad

 

[soupgoblin]

I went to try both, and 710s does seem pretty good for the price. But still love the form factor and look of XPS

 

[jameshong]

I just bought at Sim Lim. Why you choose 710S ?

Yup 710S.

I choose i5 but with a high RAM of 8GB.

I believe this is a light machine thus opted for a lighter processor than i7.

The physical use is really outstanding.

Which model did you get? Price?

There's two i5's and they both have Intel 540 so should be decent!

Walking around sim lim and the malls today. Still can't decide which ultrabook to get.

Lenovo 710S has very good specs, but not so good keyboard and design
Asus UX305UA has pretty gd price and specs wise, but alot of people seems to experience issues after 1+ year of usage.
Dell XPS 13 definitely has attractive design and specs, but the price still doesn't kind of fit my pocket.
Till the point I'm also considering to get a i5 surface pro 4

Really difficult to choose!!!

You buy from which school?

 

[Magickiller9]

You buy from which school?

Can buy either NYP or Smu. I think all the poly and Uni will have.

 

[Mighty_Orange]

Skinny in case u are going to buy from Sim Lim, remember to ask first for stock availability.

Its quite disappointing when u sinked your mind to one you wanna buy - in the end there's no stock.

 

[yellowtang67]

Am planing to buy the Asus UX305CA-FC004T. This is the 4GB version with 128SSD.

Best deal I have so far is $999 with free stuff as follows from best denki Punngol. Anyone seen any other better pricing?

32GB OTG Drive
Wireless Mouse
Bluetooth Speaker
Ms Office 365
Anti Slip case
USB to LAN adatper
Mcafee Anti virus

 

[SKinny86]

I end up buying UX305UA from harvey norman. Lol
Don't want to spend too much on ultrabook as i've already a powerful desktop at home. Saw they have some pretty good freebies, so end up just hoot liao
