The most important thing is that you go for the laptop you like most
Most of the issues with the N56vz are out-of-box faults/issues I think? Easily avoided when you check the laptop properly upon purchase

Haha bro , I am from Sarawak. Probably everything need to send it from kl to my place >< so, once I confirm they only order. ;(

which one of those with lowest heat? i dun care anything else as long it can run the game smoothly it min setting, i play 8hrs+ a day nonstop. 12-16hrs on weekend (using dell inspiron). sometimes 48hrs without log out (pc, not laptop).

I don't own any of them, so I can't really comment on this

Hi

I am thinking of getting a laptop. However i've now made up my mind and I am torn between these two laptops.
a) Lenovo y580 FHD
b) ASUS g55vw

I would like to know which one is the best for me in terms of :-

1) Price : performance ratio
2) cooling
3) autocad, rendering, photoshop, 3dmax etc.
4) its really worth it? or is there are any other cheaper alternatives or configurations out there that would give me bang for every ringgit?
5) durability/life

i'm leaning more towards lenovo in terms of price(RM3200+) with the same spec as asus but way cheaper.
asus appeal to me in terms of its looks, keyboards, (maybe)better cooling than lenovo.
if i were to get lenovo, i would upgrade it to 16gb and SSD and that would cost me around RM4000+-. making the price almost the same as asus.

thanks and have a nice day.

I don't own both these laptops so I may be wrong

*not considering the MSI GE60?

1. Y580 is of course the winner here GTX660M at RM3k is insanely cheap
2. The G55 would most probably be cooler since it was built specifically with gaming in mind. The Y580 is more towards a multimedia machine.
3. Both have similar specs (assuming you're considering the RM4k G55 and the RM3k Y580- both with 4GB RAM), so performance would be equal
4. Y580 is already very bang-for-buck
5. This one depends on luck and also how you take care of your laptop

Tough choice...
Would you rather go for the better cooling Asus with lousier warranty support, or would you go for the Y580, then opt for on-site warranty support and also better specs (after upgrading) for the same price?

Very blur on laptops, notebooks, etc.
I notice a lot of them have 4GB ram, but I was using 4GB in my old desktop (> 5 years old) already so would prefer at least 8GB.

1. Preferred Brand: Any major brand
2. Budget: 4k
3. Usage: Office use. Will use with external monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse inside the office.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: I guess 13' will do for on the road. I'm afraid specifications will suffer if smaller?

Thanks!

RM4k is a very good budget
Specifications will be more towards portability and longer battery life, but performance is still more than enough for office use~
Can consider all these ultrabooks:
13"

Asus [Ultrabook] UX31A-R4005V, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920 x 1080)@RM3499[1.3kg], 4GB, W7HP, 4-cell (6840mAh) battery, 2 years international warranty
Dell [Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM3299[1.36kg], 4GB, external optical drive
Fujitsu [Ultrabook]UH572-MYEAK20015, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000@RM2819, W7HP, color: red
HP [Ultrabook] Pavilion dm3-1001TU (Folio 13), i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM2999[1.49kg], W7HP
Lenovo [Ultrabook] U310, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 32GB SSD + 320GB(5400rpm) HDD@RM2599, 4GB, W7HP, Free HDMI-VGA converter; color: Grey, 2 years international warranty
Samsung [Ultrabook] 5 series 530U3B, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + (16GB SSD + 500GB [5400rpm])@RM2699[1.45kg], 4GB
Toshiba
[Ultrabook] Portégé Z830-1000U, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM3499[1.12kg], W7HP, 6GB

I would recommend either the Dell, Lenovo or HP because of the availability of on-site warranty support (for a price, of course)

Thanks man, been surfing for 2 hours but feel a major headache coming along.
Most of these manufacturer websites are horrible for easy finding of specifications.

Changing my preference to:
1) 8GB
2) SSD + HD
3) Minimum i5

Portability, battery life etc will come secondary as will use it mostly in the office.

So far scanned through Dell (vostro 3560) and Lenovo (U410).

1. Any, but branded, and good support
2. below rm1800
3. Gaming/Browsing/Downloading
4. 14inch or above

Can anyone suggest me a good laptop within this price range? or my price is absolutely nonsense

You should be able to upgrade the RAM yourself I think (better check before purchasing)
Can consider these too (apart from the ones already mentioned, in which some do have mSATA + HDD)
14"
Dell
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2599[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i7-3517U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2899[1.87kg], 8GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port

HP
[Ultrabook] Envy4-1043TX/1053TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD7670M + [32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)]@RM2599[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W7HP

Samsung
[Ultrabook] 5 series 530U4B, i5-2467M + AMD HD7550M + (16GB SSD + 1TB [5400rpm])@RM2999[1.84kg], 6GB

and of course, the Lenovo you mentioned

You can find laptops here easier: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry45202164

Its not nonsense
Can consider these:
14"
Asus A43TK-VX024 , AMD A6-3420M + AMD HD7670M@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS

15.6"
Asus A53TK-SX131V, A6-3420M + AMD HD7670M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, W7HP
