Starting up, we would like to point out that this guide was made due to our inability to reply to EVERYONE that keep asking, “what’s a good laptop for me ah?”
us: “what do you mainly do? study or game?”
them: “I actually don’t know but my budget is under 3-4K, the laptop must look pretty la, like MacBook”
For us, we can’t deliberately reply “go buy MacBook la”, so the conversation becomes awkward.
Regardless, within the budget of RM3K not more but less, the decent laptop for you that definitely have the style, design and sleek look so you can Wow your friend by them saying “so rich ah”.

This might sound to you ladies “Mere i5 only? I want i7!” as you ladies keep following the trend that i7 is the best among the best but your budget isn’t the best to offer. So L I S T E N, i5 8th Generation nowadays = i7 Previous Generation. Moving on, these models come in various color depend on your vendor, however, if the color is the only problem to your satisfaction, then get a vinyl wrap.
These laptops have the latest 8th generation Intel processor (AMD processor also available but the price isn’t available for everyone) and the blazing fast storage upped with dual-band wifi. So no more lagg when opening applications and fast internet connection to cope with the Unifi latest internet boost. Enjoy movie streaming to the fullest.

Enhancing your K-Drama video quality(huehuehue).
This is basically the Casual level of ladies while not underrating you guys with thick 4GB Celeron laptop that MAJORITY of you people buy due to promoter’s bait.
My only important pieces of advice to end this article are these:
- Buy USB type-C to VGA (cause damn university still haven’t use HDMI ports for presentation)
- Always check the laptop you’re buying from a vendor that it is 8GB of RAM. (the more the better but 8 is the most comfortable zone)
- Keep referring to this guide when buying so you won’t get scammed
- Bigger storage doesn’t mean you should fill it with all your Dramas. Keep them in an external hard disk.
- ASK FOR FREE GIFT! (the common thing to ask for are free +4GB RAM, an External Hard Disk, a USB pen drive, SD card, or a mouse)
- SCREEN PROTECTOR. BUY ONE! These laptops are fingerprint and scratch magnet.
- Ask for OFFICE 16 (if you can’t get one, use WPS. Still the same but FREE)
