But I'm sure there are experts out there who can help. Kindly advise me. Thank you very much. Regards, I'm using the Lenovo E440. Specs as follow: i7 4702MQ Quad-core CPU 8GB RAM (can go up to 12GB) nVidia GeForce 740M 14.1" 1366x720 Screen Around 2kg Battery life around 8-9hours under normal usage with WiFi on. I tested personally the battery life. Previously I will bring my adapter along in my hand carry luggage for usage in the lounge while waiting for my flight. Now i don't even bother, just put in my check in luggage. To see comparison of high end CPUs, go to http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html. The 4702MQ has a score of 7321, which is amazing for a laptop processor Edited July 9, 2014 by Shull 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way is lug around without battery lor. Then can.... I agree. 15 inch and below 1.7kg are mutually exclusive. I'm using a Sony Vaio SVS15 (discontinued model) that has the following spec. The only problem is battery life - it only lasts about 2 hours on a full charge. But my usage pattern is mainly home and office so its okay for me. I also like the large keyboard and separate numeric keypad. Because of its size, its feels lighter to hold because it is not as dense as, say, a 13 inch laptop weighing 2kg. Its also slim with no odd protrusions.

Armvalkyrie Clutched July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 (edited) Hi, 2 years ago I was searching for the same specs for office and travel use. Actually this 15in notebook would be my main computer in the office, which I rather use than the company's thin-client set up In the end, there were only 2 candidates - Samsung 7 Chronos and Sony S. I chose Sony S model VPCSE17GG/B. Specs were i7, 8GB ram, HDD (not SSD), 15in LCD and 2kg with battery and DVD-drive. I removed the DVD-drive and slot in another HDD in the bay. Price was about S$1700+ and pretty decent for 2012. Now getting itchy and looking around for a similar specs.... cheers Edited July 10, 2014 by Armvalkyrie ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
