Dell Precisions will fit your requirements perfectly; but costing a bomb while they're at it though laugh.gif
So you need to choose your customizations carefully: http://www.dell.com/my/business/p/precision-laptops.aspx

15.6"
Precision M4600, i5-2520M +Nvidia Quadro1000M@RM5200, Win 7 Pro, 3 Years NBD, [Screen Upgrade: HD Multi-Touch, FHD, FHD IPS RGB] [CPU Upgrade: up to i7-2960XM] [GPU Upgrade: Quadro 2000M] [RAM up to 32GB], 3 Years ProSupport
Precison M4700, i5-3320M + Nvidia Quadro K1000M@RM6300, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7P [Screen Upgrade: FHD, FHD IPS RGB] [CPU Upgrade: up to i7-3920XM] [GPU Upgrade: Quadro K2000M] [RAM up to 32GB], 3 Years ProSupport

17.3"
Precision M6600, i7-2640M +Nvidia Quadro3000M + (1600x900)@RM7549, Win 7 Pro, 3 Years ProSupport, [Screen Upgrade: FHD, Multi-Touch FHD] [CPU Upgrade: up to i7-2960XM][GPU Upgrade: Quadro 4000M, Quadro 5010M] [RAM up to 32GB]
Precision M6700, i7-3520M + AMD FirePro M6000 + (1600x900)@RM8100, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7P, 3 Years ProSupport, [Screen Upgrade: FHD, IPS FHD, 3D FHD][CPU Upgrade: up to i7-3920XM][GPU Upgrade: Quadro K5000M] [RAM up to 32GB]

Since the specs here are base specifications (pretty lousy when stock); I would suggest you to go for the M4600 (Sandy Bridge) or the M4700 (Ivy Bridge) so that there's still money left for upgrades. I would personally recommend the former since the price increase is not exactly worth it for the upgrade from SB to IB...

For the M4600 (or the M4700), upgrade the CPU to i7 at least, 8 or 16GB RAM, upgrade the screen to FHD, upgrade or add in an SSD, that will make good use of your budget, and ultimately give you a monster rig that is good in every aspect nod.gif
You can deal with "putochip123" or "viper88" for discounts, with your budget I'm sure they can give you a rather big slash from the price tag  brows.gif

What do you mean by upgrading the Y480? What do you intend to upgrade?
Y580 is much better in terms of graphic performance if that's what you're asking..

Lenovo U410 is a totally different category than the Y480/580 oh... its more geared towards portability and slimness. Don't expect it to perform as good as the Y480/Y580, its not even close at all tongue.gif

i thought that u410 would be the same as y480 cause the design is good biggrin.gif
emm no no my mistake.
what i mean is what can i upgrade on y480 in order to be similar to y580 biggrin.gif if i want to lah

can you help me again icon_question.gif

Nope, you won't be able to upgrade the Y480 to become the Y580 (in terms of specifications) laugh.gif

U410 is an ultrabook - Basically used for simple daily tasks (office, web surfing, watching movies etc.). Its build with slimness and portability in mind, at the expense of performance.

Y480/580 are multimedia machines - Weight is not really a concern here. They are designed to offer good CPU/GPU performance, and not to mention relatively better cooling systems and great speakers as well.

So at the end of the day, you need to decide what you want nod.gif
Would you rather sacrifice performance for lightness, or vice versa

Err... Its impossible for is to know what you want to buy when you do not state what you are using the laptop for (which is why we have a format that everyone should follow when posting btw sweat.gif )
If you want mobility and a smaller laptop = U36
If you want a laptop with better graphic performance = A45Vm (Not A45Vd), the A45Vm is more powerful but with the same price tag nod.gif

Asus
A45Vm-VX113v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Those are pretty normal usages nod.gif
Both of them would be good enough, its just a matter of whether you want a 13" or a 14" screen.
THere are other alternatives as well if you're interested brows.gif

The GPU in both models are relatively weaker compared to that of the HP, and its FreeDOS, not really worth the mere RM100 lower price imho
