Get a good cooler
It'll be good to have a cooler pad no matter how good the cooling system is in your gaming laptop

The last sentence in my reply says... "So yes it is better for mid gaming and editing.".

If you want performance:
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2999[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

*use remaining money to upgrade to 3 years warranty...

If you'd prefer lighter laptops, at the expense of performance, then can try to find
Acer [Ultrabook] M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899, 6GB, W7HP
Acer's timelinex 4830Tg
Asus U46Sv

The last two are relatively older (running on SB)...

newbie here, doing a survey for new laptop and google bring me here, hoho!!

dell inspiron 15r special edition compare with Acer V3-571g-73614G1T, which is better, price almost the same!!

hard to decide which one to get, any recommendation, budget below 3K!

less gaming!! but do play battlefield3 and diablo3... Thanks ya...

Thanks for your suggestions. Performance doesn't really matter to me, as long as can run Blizzard games. Weight, on the other hand, determines my mood after a tiring day at work.

Its really up to personal preference in between those two

Better in terms of what?

Your usage is less on gaming and more on... ?

less gaming... but do play battlefield, diablo and maybe sims3 for my gf, hoho... actually i want a better spec laptop and at least can last minimum 2years no need to buy a new one...

Err okay. So just gaming.
Like [PF] T.J. said, it comes down to personal preference.

For gaming, Acer V3 with Nvidia GT640M is relatively better than Dell Inspiron 15R SE with AMD HD7730M.
But if you're willing to chip in more, you can get a 3 years international warranty and FHD screen for Dell.

Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3399, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

so guys if i dont find inspiron 14r se in store..what would be my ideal alternative?
for -nt much gaming, but photoshopping, using permier pro and after effects.
budget- <2200RM
specs-newer the better, needs to be thin, light, and if possible good looking, with a good keyboard and touchpad and should hold the charge for more than 6-7 hrs

i already posted all these..but wrote them again to so u guys dnt hav to go hav a look at the old post

Ivy Bridge laptops are still scarce at the moment, you might wanna wait if you can....
We could recommend SB laptops if you are buying in a hurry

These two perhaps?
14"
Dell
Vostro 3450, i3-2350M + AMD HD6630M@RM2037, 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HB colors: silver/ brown/red
Vostro 3450, i5-2450M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HB,backlit keyboard colors: silver/ brown/red

Lenovo Z470, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

Battery life should be around 5 hours or so only though...

TJ...what do u think about MSI GE 60 compared to Asus G55? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2361129

Hmm I need to purchase a new laptop in August because I will go to college in august. I don't need a laptop now, but kinda itchy seeing RM400 discount for Dell 15R SE right now.

Should I wait till august? Will there be any better laptop specs in august?

Gaming performance-wise, the Asus is better
With the price of the MSI GE60, you can get a G55vw and still have money to upgrade the HDD to something better and faster
