2nd hand mai la , dunno gotch what "hidden" problems they may hab as dunno how the previous user handle/use the laptop before

Moi thinking of long-term use, so why take chances with "pre-loved" items regardless their condition

Moreover use gahmen-gib money, so thinking dun be so hard on moiself

Be selective about who you deal with lah aiyo.

 

[TopGun]

Buy a LG Gram from Amazon US.

If you don't need to game on your laptop, I would recommend a refurbished M1 Macbook Air.
It is the best laptop I have ever owned!

What is 24/512??

24gb ram , 512gb ssd lor

 

[tian_yibang]

Acers are usually the more affordable (read: cheap) laptop options

Ultra 5 is the latest Lunar Lake Intel CPU. It is more power efficient (consume less battery, so your battery lasts longer), and it comes with NPU to help AI software.

Hmmmm

So whats the diff of this simi Ultra 5 and the normal i5 ?

 

[tian_yibang]

My partner just bought one Asus Vivobook Go 15 for $509. I just copied the specs and ask chatgpt to help me compare with the rest. Lol..

Why reh, notch worth the pricing or the laptop no good ?

 

[toolbox03]

Moi ish lappy noob, so quite dunno where to start from specs or function wise

So nong story short, any MS Windows laptops that "worth every cents" for a $1K budget ?

Preferably something notch more bigger than 14" as moi hab space constraints , and at least a 24/512 for futureproof use

Thinking wanna use the SG60V to get a lappy, but the Big 3 major stores and Challenger all dun accept so bopian later need use from GSTCash

https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/pc/laptops/tech-news-microsoft-new-surface-devices-specs-price

The latest surface pro less than $1.5k

https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/pc/laptops/tech-news-microsoft-new-surface-devices-specs-price

The latest surface pro less than $1.5k

Moi read before that surface pro tends to easily overheats, dunno if now the issue still persists

 

[tian_yibang]

TS got time go see see I remember got laptop under $1k for basic use.
Gaming laptop wise definetely above $1k.
Go for at least AMD Ryzen 5 with IGP will do for basic use.

Example this around $600.

Once you get GST voucher can just go buy.

Actually the RAM can upgrade or not.. I see the 8GB is like sibei ridiculous... bare bones minimum should be 16GB... sweet spot should be minimum 32GB

Yeah , if they gotch "free" upgrade to 16gb then can consider bai at this pricing

It seems 16gb ish the least smelly smelly must get huan

This is the difference:

Ultra 5 is the latest Lunar Lake Intel CPU. It is more power efficient (consume less battery, so your battery lasts longer), and it comes with NPU to help AI software.

Meaning older normal i5 consume more battery power, doesn't have NPU, hence AI software works slowly.

 

[Shion]

under 1k ? dont think have ?

try lenovo

8gb still ok for most tasks

there is no need to deliberately spend more money

 

[ToonBlue]

It's cheap but good or not is depending on individual luck.

In terms of spec.. ok leh...
But of course cannot expect the sky

Not for Windows 11. Minimum RAM for decent performance is 16GB.

Windows 11 is a resource hog, just loading the basic Windows 11 OS core already using a fixed 7.2GB of memory. GPGT, see below. If your laptop only has 8GB of RAM, opening a simple web browser will also cause the system to swap out memory content from RAM to SSD/HDD, which will cause your laptop to lag.

first of all.....you need to ask yourself these questions.

what do you foresee your usage pattern for the laptop will be?
issit just surf EDMW and beo tiktok/youtube beedios?
or u intend to pak AAA games with the laptop? or just light gaming on e-sports title?
will you be lugging the device around often?
is battery life important to how you will be using the device?

 

[ricogan427]

Acer laptop? Cheap and good?

Go to SLS, many pre-owned laptops. That is the only place I go to if I want a pre-owned PC or iMac, it comes with 6 months warranty.

Cool, but somehow I don't see lag on my 8gb windows devices

Maybe there are other factors involved?
