RM1699

Can consider Acer 5740G@RM2999, Dell Studio 15 with i5 430M@RM2999,
Screen size?
14'' is vaio cw26@RM3999
15.6'' is dell studio xps 16
11.6'' is alienware m11x
Thinkpad wise for around RM 3000 only R400
you can cross out the dell inspiron
as m11x and sxps 16, depends your screen size liking, though sxps 16 will have better overall experience.
So far no news of y460, only g460

I assume its about Asus UL30Jt? spec wise should be using i7 UM series, price range, the ULxxVT is below 3k, this one should be around that or 3k plus...
3.5k is bit of middle of nowhere...
You can consider to import Sager NP2098, there's someone selling at garagesales or mucro.asia, though its using the old core 2 duo, but it has better graphic card(HD4650) than HD4570/HD5470, should be around 3.3-3.5k.... or if you still can find it, BenQ S57 (p8700+HD4650), hovering around RM 3k as well.
else, up more, Sony Vaio CW16@RM3699, Toshiba Qosmio F60@RM3799 or Dell studio xps@RM3999
Laptop 1, Dell Studio 15/14 with Core i7, should be below or at RM 4k
Laptop 2 Asus A42JR@RM2699, Acer 4740G@RM2499
Do consider upgrade the warranty since it for office usage...
Compaq CQ40-625AU@RM 1499
Asus K40AB/K50AB or Lenovo G450 with Nvidia g210m, Lenovo G460 with Nvidia 310M
Asus K40AB/LenovoG450
if really need windows OS, Dell Vostro V1088, though it has weaker graphic card
Dell Studio XPS 16@RM3999
or if can up budget, there's Qosmio X505, 18.4'' around RM4.2k
http://www.mucro.asia/index.php/vmchk/inde...-X505-Q860.html
Out of those, it would be Acer 5740G from newegg
Lenovo G450/G460
Acer 1810TZ@RM1899
What kind of games?
3D games,then Asus K40AB/K50AB
flash games, then Dell inspiron 14/15 or Dell vostro V1088 is good enough and upgrade the warranty.
Upgrade the parts is always cheaper, but is it worth it?
What's the budget?
Acer 5740G@RM@2999, Acer 4740G@RM2499, Dell Studio 15@RM2999, Compaq CQ36-110TX@RM2649, Compaq CQ41-214TX@RM2549
i7 is not really good for gaming though...
You might want to consider Asus N61Ja@RM4999, i5 520M + ATi HD5730
RM3999 is 3k-ish? Dell Studio XPS 16
if not, back to Dell Studio 15 or Acer 5740G
3810T @RM2899
1810TZ@RM1899
if warranty is upmost, consider Dell inspiron 14 or Dell vostro V1088
best one would be Acer 5740G@RM2999
abit lower cpu, is Asus A42JR/A52JR@RM2699
or Toshiba L510-S4318B@RM2899
There's Qosmio X505, 18.4'' around RM4.2k
http://www.mucro.asia/index.php/vmchk/inde...-X505-Q860.html
other that that, Dell Studio XPS 16
No, only light gaming,
Heavy gaming would be done by those high-end gaming notebook like alienware.
So, what's the budget?
If under 2k, look at Asus K40AB/K50AB, it would give better performance than that vostro, though still don't hope everything to high settings.
Well, DM3 is pretty heavy if compared to UL30VT but in return, it has better built, performance wise, DM3 has weaker cpu since UL30VT can overclock to 1.73GHz and DM3 also has weaker gpu as well.
services wise, can't comment.
Vaio Z, i5 540M + GT330M/GMA HD, backlit keyboard, 1.42kg@RM5999, now available for pre-order
Well, if you decided using Mac OSX, then buy MacBook, do note that there's a rumour that refresh would be done March 10 later...
4740G would be better, though if warranty service is a concern, Inspiron 14 then.
<RM1000, Dell mini 10v
<RM1500, Acer 1410T
though don't really hope with no slowing down when opening lots of browsers....
You can consider Lenovo G450, C2D T6600 with nvidia G210M@RM1999...
