15'': Acer 5740g@RM2999, i5 520M + hd5470
14'': Toshiba l510-s4318b @rm2799, i3 330M + hd5145

Try to increase the budget a bit more to say 4k.

Newer games like ME2 or BFBC2 have quite scary requirements.

Eventually raise a bit more to 5k can get a lower end Alienware

lower end is rm 6k, not 5k

Like?? M15x base spec is RM5999

unless ur refering to the upcoming Alienware M11x Gaming "Netbook" which may cost up to 4k.. lol

No need to spend much money, just go with the budget that already have will do...most laptop will out-dated say like in 2 years time...maybe he can use the extra money for others thing, no ...

An Alienware m15x is already RM6k ...m11x maybe RM4k (least priced, can go up much more )

RM4K ...

I wonder if it worth the money or no...

IMO gaming on a 11.6" monitor is going to be one hell of a strain on your eyes. In short, I find the M11x an utterly ridiculous sales gimmick of sorts.

If it retails for RM3k and below, then I might have to reconsider... but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

is Dell more reliable then Acer?

Well, can't really say so, depends back to how the user take care of it and his/her luck.
But for sure, Dell's warranty is nice, but expensive.

Agree with Loki..yes, 4k (well maybe but seems like true) for a 11.6" laptop for gaming, well i got to say not all people would like it, no ..because gamers prefer a much bigger screen when come to games ...hope the price will reduce as we can see it as a small Notebook with such power graphic

I found this link.This might get all of us interested

Do anyone know ACER 4740 i3 can play FIFA games or not ?

Acer 4740-i3 that comes with Intel GC??...can but most probably with low-settings...

What FIFA game?? The manager one or the playable one

1. Brand, as long as it has good after service and does not have a bad rep?
2. Budget, about 2.5k if possible.
3. Specs, im not sure bout this, but i would like one with good graphics and can play MMORPG games (PW,RO..) smoothly, no lags and stuff.
4. Size, about the regular laptop size, 14" 15"?

on a side note, i read through the forum and found this, Acer 4740G? is it good? hmm, currently im using BenQ S41, i love it and all. but my laptop has this problem of overheating and auto off when im playing games. so i have to get a new one

Thanks in advance!

Well, one of best choice for 2.5k for now would be acer 4740G
unless you up to rm 2699, can get Asus A42JR/A52JR with ati hd5470, better value.
lower than that, asus k40ab/k50ab/lenovo g450

ive heard that asus is more reliable than acer? is it true? i wouldnt mind adding another RM200 if its worth it.

btw, i tried googling specs for asus, couldnt find any in english. ><

Well, with Asus you get automatic 2 years warranty while Acer need to topup a bit to extend the warranty...well, for me both are reliable
