This one is one of the more high end gaming machines, its just an example
The higher numeric value of Nvidia/AMD GPU doesn't mean that its better

Alienware models can be customized, some with dual-core, some with quad core... the one shown to you is dual core

here's an example of a gaming 14" notebooks with dual-core IB i5 as well:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

If you're looking for the most bang for buck 14" notebook, then this one:
Lenovo Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, FreeDOS

yes yes y480
nice gadget there.

but i think i better add some some and just go with y580 right.
thanks T.J

now i just wait for y580 price to drop a little bit. hehee

Yeah, if your budget is RM3k and you don't mind waiting for abit, then can wait for the Y580, but usually they won't drop RM500 yo
Try to save abit more lo in the meantime

i5 is better.

both perform similarly with 7670m is slightly.. i repeat, slighlty the weaker gpu. (but with a lot of headroom for overclocking)

i dun get wat are u trying to say here.

A6 vs i5 = i5 better

630M vs 7670M = Both on same level of performance.

Max 2k without windows

Please list a few latest note book for my reference

Thx
