Hello! Need some recommendations on possible options for laptops

Looking for portability, high quality movies (Blu ray if possible n good audio), international warranty (UK), mild gaming

Hi guys, need a laptop for gaming mainly. Looking for performance, reliability & light weight.

1. Preferred Brand - none

2. Budget - <rm3k

3. Usage - Gaming (dota2 and such)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 inch, 13-15 also ok if weight is reasonable.

5. Weight - <2.5kg

Was wondering if there's any ultrabook with dedicated graphic card that's worth getting?

So far, recommendation is the Lenovo IdeaPad Y480. Any feedback on Lenovo reliability? Or the model itself specifically? Needs laptop to last me 3-5 years. My previous one was acer aspire 4720G, lasted me 5 years. No complaints on it despite many others that's against Acer...
