Mind sharing your budget and preferred screen size?
I have the perfect recommendation if your budget is Rm9k  brows.gif

Engineering softwares, based on what I've heard, relies more on CPU. GPU is used only when rendering 3D stuffs hmm.gif

hahaa....wow..which laptop can reach 9k?? sweat.gif sweat.gif

my budget around 3-4k...maybe max 5k la... rolleyes.gif
screen i dun mind...if can get bigger size much better...juz de cpu n gpu selection make me in dilemma...
actually i'm so interested wit zenbook...but de gpu only hd4000...and ultrabook CPU not powerful enuf...

If it use more on CPU, maybe this will do:

SONY VAIO S Series 13P
13.3" 1600 x 900, i7-3520M, 750 GB, 8GB RAM, GT 640M LE(kepler) 2GB DDR3, [1.67kg] W7 Pro RM4,799

SONY VAIO S Series 13
13.3" 1366 x 768, i7-3520M, 750 GB, 4GB RAM, GT 640M LE(kepler) 1GB DDR3, [1.72kg] W7 Pro RM3,999

A lot of laptops can fetch an insanely high price yo brows.gif
Anyway, since you don't mind having a larger and heavier laptop, then I guess its better you go for desktop replacements for the power rather than just the slimness and looks nod.gif
15.6"
Asus G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP
MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad

If you prefer something lighter and less powerful, then you might want to wait for the upcoming Dell XPS 15 (IB versions, around July), or the current:
Asus
N56ZM-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional *Nvidia GPU might work better for your case
XPS 15z, i7-2640M + Nvidia GT525M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM4099[2.51kg], backlit keyboard

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

haha...yeah.. u r rght.. de spec dat i wan n require not suit wit ultrabook spec.. but really love de look.. ~.~
btw, all model dat u suggest already in my mind.. juz de mobility make me stil hesitate to go gaming laptop.. haiyaa... juz realize RMBP suit me well.. but i never use mac os b4... hmmm..

Reason why I suggest the Sony laptop is due to the weight, since you're looking for something light to carry, while still packs quite a nice spec.

But, if you don't mind to have something just a bit heavy than the Sony, but pack a powerful spec, then you should go with the MSI GE60 like what PF T.J. mentioned.

MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad
Weighing at 2.4kg. Not so bad for a 15.6" laptop with a Quad-Core processor and a powerful GPU.

yeah.. msi laptop quite ok for me.. wink.gif
btw, y gaming laptop not using ssd?? i think de weight will be lesser if equipped wit ssd.. summore ssd more powerful..
