Read unit evidence and terms

Compare RAM capacity, SSD versus eMMC and HD/FHD resolution first. An i7 versus i5 label alone does not establish performance; CPU generations and configurations differ. Battery, charger and warranty coverage still need unit-specific confirmation.

The Laptop Price Is Not the Delivered Total

Start with the SKU price on the card, then request a dated quote for the exact item and each addition. This guide invents no RAM, SSD, battery or installation prices.

Item	Evidence before adding to the total
Laptop price	SKU, condition, price and check time on the card; verify the checkout price.
Delivery/accessories	Unknown. Confirm destination, fees and the charger actually included.
Upgrades/installation	Unknown. Request the compatible part number, unit slot configuration, labour cost and warranty implications.
Budget decision	Laptop price + all required charges must be ≤ RM1,500. If > RM1,500, the total is outside the budget. If charges are unknown, the total remains unverified.

Reviewed Offers, Ordered by Price

New, used and refurbished remain distinct on the cards. A used label with seller warranty does not establish refurbishment work. Review usage limits, battery, charger, warranty/returns and source links before opening the seller offer.

Soalan Lazim (FAQ)

How many new, used and refurbished offers are there?

This catalogue has 3 offers: 1 new, 2 used and 0 refurbished, with base prices RM890 – RM1,250. This is a listing review, not the whole market or a hands-on test.

What changes from the RM1,000 list?

2 offers also fit RM1,000; 1 more costs above RM1,000 up to RM1,500. Compare configurations and conditions below. A higher price limit does not guarantee a faster CPU, better battery or wider warranty.

Do prices include delivery and upgrades?

No. Destination charges, installation, compatible RAM/SSD and required accessories do not have exact quotes here. Obtain a written total; anything over RM1,500 is outside the budget even if the laptop alone costs less.

Is it enough for study, CAD or Photoshop?

Match the application version, project size and simultaneous use to the exact CPU, RAM, storage and GPU. We have not tested these applications on these units. A 4GB/eMMC model is not treated as equivalent to 8GB/SSD or 16GB/SSD. Check the student guide and application requirements first.
