Me again. This time it's for my friend.

1. Preferred Brand - Asus and Toshiba only
2. Budget - Max 2.5K
3. Usage - Gaming, watching movies, using for university
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13"~14"

I already done a bit of research and here are two laptops I found met my friend's requirement

A43Sm-VX002v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2299[2.4kg]v, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)
Satellite L840-1009X/XR/XW, i5-2450M + AMD HD7670M@RM2499[2.12kg], 4GB, 640GB, W7HP; colors: Black/Red/White, 3 years warranty

The question is which one is better in the term of gaming and also best bang for bucks? Or are there any even better contender? Do tell me if there are better one

Try find Y480 in garage sales or increase the budget a little for Asus N55VZ. Much more powerful than those u suggested.

1. Preferred Brand: Dell or asus
2. Budget : 2000 to 3000+
3. Usage. :photoshop and some gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size. : not too small... Don't really have idea on this.. Thank you!

I think you meant N56VZ right? I don't think my friend can increase his budget anymore. 2.5K max. He said supposed to be 2K only. About Lenovo, he said he don't know much about the brand so he never considered it. He specifically told me he either go Asus or Toshiba. Thanks for your suggestion but so far I think the best are only between the 2 choices I pick right? Anymore suggestion is appreciated

opss.. my bad.

then go for this one.
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

You can try these:

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

HP
[Ultrabook] Envy4-1043TX/1053TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD7670M + 32GB SSD + 500GB HDD(5400rpm)@RM2599[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W7HP

Toshiba
Satellite M840-1009XG/XP/XQ, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2999[2kg], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP; colors: Gold/Pink/Blue

The Dell XPS 14 might be a little expensive but if you can afford it then go for it

Can try these:

Acer 13"
[Ultrabook] Aspire S5-391-53314G12, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3499, W7HP

Asus 13"
[Ultrabook] UX31A-R4005V, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920 x 1080)@RM3499[1.3kg], 4GB, W7HP

Sony 13"
Vaio SVS13116FGB (Black), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM3299[1.72kg], 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Dell 14"

HP 14"
Envy [Ultrabook] (Spectre) 14-3017TU, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + (1600x900 Radiance) + 128GB SSD@RM3999, 4GB

Acer 15"
[Ultrabook] M3-581TG-52466G52, i5-2467M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2599, 6GB, 500GB

For ultrabooks, gaming is not so favourable except for the Acer M3 which can support gaming pretty well.

Okay, it seems like there are 4 choices that my friend could go for.

Asus A43Sm-VX002v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2299[2.4kg]v, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Toshiba Satellite L840-1009X/XR/XW, i5-2450M + AMD HD7670M(2GB)@RM2199[2.12kg], 4GB, 640GB, W7HP; colors: Black/Red/White, 3 years warranty
Lenovo Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M(2GB)@2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB, backlit keyboard, FreeDOS

So in term of gaming, what is the rank of order between these 4 choices?

Toshiba
Satellite P850-1000X, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM3399[2.6kg][harman/kardon], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP
Qosmio F750-1010X, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT540M (2GB)@RM3399[2.9kg][harman/kardon], 640GB (7200rpm)

There are not much models available. The latter is running on SB.

Added on July 2, 2012, 2:38 pmIn terms of GPU capabilities,

Y480 (GT650M) > Inspiron 14R SE (GT640M) > Satellite L840 (HD7670M) > A43Sm (GT630M)

Ok, I understand. How about if rank by best bang for buck?
BTW, I updated price from garage sales at the original post
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I gone through the specifications and I think the rank for both is the same right? Well I already relay the choices to my friend. Thanks for helping me

You can try these:

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

Lenovo
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + Bluray@RM3399[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP

Acer
V3-571G-73614G1T, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB

13" laptops are more towards ultrabook and very less on gaming
Maybe you can try 14" laptops? Here are some you can take a look at:

Asus
N45SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2450M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2899[Bang & Olufsen], 750GB (7200rpm), Color: White

Lenovo
Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M(2GB)@2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB, backlit keyboard, FreeDOS

Toshiba
Satellite L840-1009X/XR/XW, i5-2450M + AMD HD7670M@RM2499[2.12kg], 4GB, 640GB, W7HP; colors: Black/Red/White, 3 years warranty

The prices may have changed so do check it out

All sifus, i am considering Lenovo U410, RM 2699. Any other ultrabook option that better than this one, with price tag not more than RM3000. Please let me know. TQ

Are you talking about 13" or 14" ultrabooks?
