Both Dell and Lenovo offers on-site warranty support of up to 3 years

Try to go for those (at a price, of course) for peace of mind

Yeah, apparent Asus's warranty support is not doing too well at the moment...
For the Lenovo Y480, the RRP is:
Y480(5934-7549), i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M (GDDR5) @RM2599 [JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, freeDOS, 2 yrs warranty, P950 headset
Y480(5934-1372), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2699[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, W7HB, 2 years international warranty
You should be able to get around RM2380 for the FreeDOS version...
Well, if warranty coverage and support is important to you, then the 14R SE and Z480 would be good, using the rest of the money on warranty upgrade.
If specs are more important to you, then the Y480

z480 warranty is 2 year international warranty??
this model usb is 2.o only? the graphic is 2gb??
y480 like over my budget.
