What options do i have with...

1. Preferred brand : HP/Compad/Asus or any other considerable ones
2. Budget : Rm2500 +/-
3. Usage : Works with lots of multi-tasking, and probably run 3-4 virtual machine. 50% works, 40% movies/entertainment, 10% games.
4. Preferred size : at least 1280x800

I am also interested in those come with decent speakers like Altec/Bang but i do not want external speaker, (note i will avoid Beats Audio so dont suggest me that), so far i liked the keys of Compaq keyboard, typing seem more comfortable for me with that.

regarding the y580, called up a lot of shops here all haven't got stock yet, still have to wait two to three more weeks after the pc show they said. For the price, all said don't know, but there's a gal told me that it might be in between SGD1599 and SGD1699.

If Malaysia selling @ RM3000+-, definitely will buy in Msia XD

US priced @ USD899 only ~ RM2697!

I can say for a fact that the laptop will not cost below RM3.5k. The gtx660m will be an option addon which will probably cost an extra 1-2k Ontop of base price of RM2700.
Also due to the relatively thin build of the laptop and the light weight (it's only 2.7kg compared to asus g55 3.8kg) there will be insufficient cooling to support the more powerful graphics card. If u read up online. Alot of ppl have the same ideas.

this is really impossible you can get gtx 660 + i7 below 3k in malaysia　for official set

How does the asus g55 stack up against the competition in that price bracket, how much is it here in kl?

+1

Just look at the current Y480 price :
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/control...7FD&action=init

Price range from USD849 to USD1499.

Why would anyone buy the Y480 later if the Y580 cost about the same.

It might have offering of GT 640M LE, GT 650M, and GTX 660M.
Same goes for the screen resolution.

Just my opinion though.

really?

current g55vw cost you rm 3999 - with spec - i7, gtx660..

do you think lenovo would offer same spec - with cheaper rm 1k ?

Is the m14x dell Alienware better than the g55?

Better in terms of?
The M14x is no where near the G55 in terms of GPU performance...
As for CPU performance, the M14x is either on par or better than the G55 (depends on what specs you choose for the M14x); still, there's no point in getting a too-powerful CPU since the M14x won't be able to handle the heat produced...
The M14x wins in portability, bling bling and warranty support as well (if covered)
The G55 wins in terms of bang-for-buck, two years stock international warranty and cooling.

Thx I'll get The g55, anyone know the best place to get from in kl?
