Any tech-saavy person in BW? Can help me to see if this lappie is worth to buy with the specs and the cost? Courts is charging at $799 though with the same specs...

I wouldn't recommend buying a laptop with only 4gb of RAM. So the first option is probably a better offer.

 

If you want some cashback with your laptop make sure you use the shopback app! Have you checked Lazada as well?

I would recommend buying the $900+ one instead of the $750 one as paying the extra $200 nets you additional 4GB RAM and a pretty decent GPU that can be used for light 1080 gaming. The CPU on both models is 4-core with hyperthreading (which means 8 virtual cores), so opening up multiple Chrome tabs with 8GB and Microsoft Office should be a breeze. 

 

Also, SSD prices are dirt cheap now. Amazon.com is selling 500GB SSDs for like USD$90! Check out this one. If you plan to upgrade in future, save the money and opt for this. https://smile.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-NAND-Internal/dp/B0784SLQM6/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1537426184&sr=1-4&keywords=500gb+ssd&dpID=51K4HDZVQzL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

i would deemed a  1.2k should give u a decent one w anti-virus etc sad that u only have that kind of budget , but a good laptop will last u 3-5yr!

i randomly clicked on your links provided, if u dont mind a heavy laptop w HDD , then it shd be fine and it is closed to 1K already

& now all started using solid-state drive Ssd instead of HDD

Speed: This is where SSDs shine. An SSD-equipped PC will boot in less than a minute, and often in just seconds. A hard drive requires time to speed up to operating specs, and will continue to be slower than an SSD during normal use. A PC or Mac with an SSD boots faster, launches and runs apps faster, and transfers files faster. Whether you're using your computer for fun, school, or business, the extra speed may be the difference between finishing on time and failing.

Also, no more fragmentation as SSDs are inherently faster.
Durability: An SSD has no moving parts, so it is more likely to keep your data safe in the event you drop your laptop bag or your system is shaken about by an earthquake while it's operating
 

SSDs make virtually no noise at all, since they're non-mechanical.

Power: An SSD doesn't have to expend electricity spinning up a platter from a standstill. Consequently, none of the energy consumed by the SSD is wasted as friction or noise, rendering them more efficient. On a desktop or in a server, that will lead to a lower energy bill. On a laptop or tablet, you'll be able to eke out more minutes (or hours) of battery life.

It's amazing how much value a SSD has today!  Instead of updating to a fast state of the art laptop I upgraded two older laptops with 500GB of SSD and... they fly!  And, as a poster commented earlier, they are getting dead cheap!
