Hmm this is another hard and subjective question  hmm.gif
Built quality and life span, both are pretty good. Both are made to withstand high graphics and gaming.
For after sales service, I'm not too sure. Its a hit or miss. I personally have not tried MSI laptops before.  tongue.gif

Gaming laptop? FHD? 15" it is.

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

You can chip in to get an international warranty, 3 years  smile.gif

They say that ajul sells refurbished units and you won't be able to claim warranty in Malaysia...
I'm not very sure about this, so do be cautious before purchasing nod.gif

For me, I'd prefer the Asus G55vw (RM3999 variant), its newer, with an even better GPU, no 3D though laugh.gif

rclxub.gif rclxub.gif ...so many choices...dunno wat to choose oso...Asus better design imo...but dell 15R seems quite solid but the design a bit meh~

Gaming performance-wise, the Asus is better nod.gif
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 thumbup.gif

I'm a engineering student, I wanna to ask which devide is most suitable for me with lite gaming.

Following is what I chosen:

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

Inspiron 15R, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1999[2.65kg], 6GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

Inspiron 15R, i7-3612QM +AMD HD7670M@RM2599[2.65kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm)

Or a iPad 3 32GB @RM1799

Of course cheaper is better smile.gif
*
i think it's fair to say ipad and notebook are quite different... hmm.gif but among the 3 notebook, inspiron 14R is definitely the better 1 in terms of gaming especially with nividia 640m + backlit for rm42 which would b sweet...the 7200rpm would also giv u a better overall performance and u can always add another 4gb to hav a complete affordable gaming laptop...not to mention if u can get the student price would then cost a little more than rm2k...

I tried the autocad in ipad. its seem can't do everything what we can do in pc ><

but u hav any desktop/ laptop? bcoz i think u nid at least 1 of those to do ur assingment for ur engineering subjects....ipad is sumwhere in between laptop and mobile phone... it's more for entertainment and some light workload (editing documents, reading lecture slides, surfing the internet, email , etc)... U will still nid a laptop/desktop for engineering...i usually use my ipad b4 i sleep, wake up and during lecture classes...so it really depends on what u hav n use...

Yea I got a slow processor desktop and my dad's "slow" laptop. I think I will buy a iPad and use the desktop for autocad.
Imma save money and wait for Windows 8 with 3rd gen i7 laptop smile.gif
One last questin, is that iPad's iWork can works like microsoft office (word,excel,powerpoint)?
Anyway thanks for ur advice =)

it's gud for editing but not really suitable for doing stuff from scratch imo...some things are done better on pc compare to tablet....i prefer to use my ipad for light editing and also a more on the go entertainment device...

Hey, I checked the Dell website and I can still find the 14R SE!!! Is it still available???
Btw, if it's avail, do u think it worth the price to choose GT640M over GT630M for RM200? I heard there is GT640M that is less powerful, is that true?

I think it's quite worth it considering u r getting a better graphic card (i dont think this is 640LE) and oso a 500gb 7200rpm hdd...it would b even better if u r willing throw in another rm42 for the backlit keyboard which imo is totally worth it and awesome...smile.gif

1. Preferred Brand : any (no acer)

3. Usage : Mostly for watching movies and listen to songs, gaming(bf3)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14"- 16"

if u can then wait for y580....y580 is the only laptop for now that uses GTX 660M in ur price range... GTX 660M is excellent for a mid range gaming graphic card...i am using MSi GE60 with this graphic card and can run BF3 with max settings and 1080p... I can max all of the current game (COD, Sniper Elite, ME 3) available (havent tried max payne 3 yet)...
