Hi Guys,
I suppose this would be the appropriate thread for asking about laptops.
1. Preferred Brand : Any brand except Acer
2. Budget : Rm3000 flexible
3. Usage : Movies, music, light gaming (Football Manager, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : Prefer 15" screen, FHD
I'm currently looking at the following models:-
What do you guys think about the different brands and the different models? How are they in daily usage? How do they perform for different tasks? Reliability, stability of these brands/models?
I've read some stuff about the Dells having BSODs, the Lenovos having poor design causing high heat, and also the poor Asus after sales service. How bad do they really affect the average buyer?
Also, is it really possible to get coupon discounts for the Dells at this price range?
I have the exact dilemma as you (want full HD screen + light gaming + multimedia). I choose the Dell 15R with FHD + 32GB SSD Caching (RM3199). Now with coupon code Z0X576K3W513S? you can save up to RM300, around 2.9k can get. I am buying in two weeks I suppose this would be the appropriate thread for asking about laptops.

The BSOD of dell is because of the graphics driver, can be solved by updating.
Why I chose Dell 15R SE over Lenovo Y580 and Asus?
-Full HD screen (Asus need 3599 which is too much for me, Lenovo rumoured to have soon, 3699)
-Decent GPU even though not as powerful, but enough
-32GB SSD caching improving overall performance
-Cheapest among all yet suits the criteria I want
-Best warranty and after sales service
I don't play games too much so 7730M is okay for me, maybe overkill too. FHD Asus N56 is too much for me as well as lenovo. Well this is just my personal opinion due to my restricted budget
