Yeah, don't think you can get a laptop with GT555m or equivalent for that price, unless its 2nd hand nod.gif
Closest would be:
Dell

I see.. A few days ago I went to a shop(in Kelantan) and they recommended me Asus N56 and HP dv4, both RM2699. N56 is quite big and heavy for me, and I would like to ask how do you see N46?

Oh, and a friend of mine suggest me to buy Lenovo Y480(around RM2.5k), said although it's built for gaming, it has a better spec : price ratio compared to Asus.

Now I'm clueless of which to choose (I don't know much about laptops, but I like one built for entertainment)  cry.gif

Please help!
*
I don't think we have the N46 yet? hmm.gif
Go for the laptop that you need and like, not the laptop with the highest specs..
The Y480 does offer very good specs for the price, but since you're not exactly into gaming, then there's no real need to get such a high end GPU nod.gif

Attracted by its SSD, I travel alot, hit and bump everywhere, one year and I had to replace HDD, just 2 issues:
1. How does this machine (with the GT640M LE) fare in Diablo 3? I couldnt find detailed review anywhere...
2. What if the built in battery go bust? I am a very heavy user.

Thanks.
*
1. The GT640M should be able to handle Diablo 3 smoothly, no problems there thumbup.gif
2. If the built in battery dies, then you're going to have to replace with a new one... batteries are rather susceptible to heat, which is going to be a problem here for the Acer M5 hmm.gif

Thanks for reply.
1. Just to confirm, GT640M LE is a notch lower than GT640M, so both should run smoothly? On medium setting I guess?
2. Ah, still ok if can replace. From experience I have to replace battery about one year too..when the warranty.just expired  sad.gif
Is it possible to check how much it will cost me for replacement? RM250-300?
*
Based on the gaming benchmarks here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html
Both GPU would be able to handle Diablo 3 at maxed settings (presumably at 1366x768)

Batteries are usually around RM200-300? Its hard to say, you might wanna check with Acer for better feedbacks nod.gif

Wow, what a nice site! It surprising that LE version has better FPS at Ultra setting.
Further read up caught myself another question, there's Fermi version and Kepler version of the GT640M LE, even the Acer site itself doesnt state it has GT640M LE. Should I be concerned about it?
Thanks again, you are very helpful. rclxms.gif

Its Kepler-based, so no worries there brows.gif

Sifu, i need laptop for a degree software engineering student, i want it to be lightweight and currently i have 2 ultrabook that i have in my mind:

1) Lenovo Ideapad U310 (RM1999 version)
2) HP Envy 4 (RM1999 version)

That's basically more or less my budget, not looking for higher than RM2000. Which is better? Or any other recommendation? I want it to be portable and light so that easier to carry and have good quality as well (not easily overheat). smile.gif Thanks! smile.gif
*
I haven't come across reviews for these units yet hmm.gif
But both are more or less similarly speced, so it all boils down to what screen size you prefer nod.gif
Personally I would prefer the 14" Envy 4 hmm.gif
Do take note that there are two versions of the Envy 4
[Ultrabook] Envy 4, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000@RM1999, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
[Ultrabook] Envy 4, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000 + (500GB + 32SSD)@RM2199, 4GB, W7HP

Try to go for the 2nd one if possible~

when I checked, it is true Y480  i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650 ,

but they quote the price @ RM 2599 for student price that time, plus they give you original Win 7 HP

Assuming you're referring to the one with Nvidia GT610M, the GPU is a lot weaker, you might want to go for the A43Sm instead, the price is more or less the same, but with a better GPU
