1. Preferred Brand
Lenovo, but if other brand can offer better performance:price ratio, its fine too.

2. Budget
Undecided, Would appreciate if i can get a list from RM2k to RM3.5k and RM4k

3. Usage
Desktop on-the-move if possible, 5 days in apartment, 2 day at house cycle. otherwise stationary so i can afford to carry the bulkiest laptop there is.

-Mid-High End Gaming (Battlefield 3 Max/Near Max? Looking for 1080p@60fps with at least 8xAA/AI, ideally 16xAA/AI.)
-Video Recording (Able to record above without any noticable (able to maintain 75fps) performance hits with Fraps/Bandicam/MSI Afterburner), high HDD write speed. (Dont notebook come with SSD nowadays?)
-Video Editing (Sony Vegas, Premiere(?), After Effects)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
I have no idea. Does screen size affect price alot? Ideally i am using this as a desktop replacement for at least 3 years, but i personally dont mind as i could plug it into another screen or even extend them.
14.1inch or 17inch maybe? Advice me on this.

Thanks in advance =3

Mainly for gaming but not heavy on graphics?  hmm.gif
If you're mainly using it for gaming, I think i5 will be more than enough for you.

You can go for these:

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

Asus
N55Sl-S2064v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT635M + (1600x900)@RM2899[Bang & Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)

Inspiron 15R SE is running on IB while the Asus N55SL is running on SB.

Or you can wait for the new Lenovo Y580. It has good specs as well.

Screen size doesn't affect the price alot. If you think the screen size is too small, you can always plug into another external monitor.
I will assume your usage is high on graphics. Since your budget is undecided (and capped at RM4k?)  hmm.gif , I will only list those that are suitable for your usage.
You can go for these 15":

Asus
G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP

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

Or you can wait for the new Lenovo Y580. It has great specs too.

Can i have the specs for Y580? I like the sound of those two, are they running on IB?

Any 17 inch recommendations too?

There are very less laptops with these processors. I myself haven't used or seen any people using it.

Perhaps you can try these?

HP
Pavilion G4-1302ax, AMD A8-3520M + AMD HD7450M@RM1899, 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Toshiba
Satellite L740D-1218U, AMD A6-3420M + AMD HD6520G@RM1599, FreeDOS

These are 14" laptops.

Are you in a hurry of getting a laptop?
Both are hard to get as they have very limited stock.

For Dell you can order through their website and they have RM200 cash rebate iinm.

I am not in a hurry actually, 1~3 month window, probably by early october. Will there be a close alternative if these two do end up hard to obtain?
