hi! thanks for replying, the laptop mostly will be use for dj-ing, music production, picture editing and not so hardcore gaming.

thats the minimum requirement that i need, anything more with the budget of 2k would be great!!!

anything in ya mind??? thanks!

recommend me a laptop ):
i have no preferred brand
budget 3k .
purpose is mainly photo editing,video editing and some games to keep me entertain . i want a custom pc,but parents ask me to buy laptop cos portable.
i dont know how large a 15" screen . lol

Still haven't decided on what to buy man?
The U940 is better as an all rounder, even capable of decent gaming

Most RM2k laptops do not have very good speakers oh
Still, this one should do the trick, the speakers are not exactly top-notch, but are better than others found in a RM2k laptop
14"
dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8

*Try to bargain until Rm2k, shouldn't be a problem

thank you very much man !!

can look for Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8

if gaming then Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming

- K46CM-WX060V, B987 + Nvidia GT630M @ RM1799[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD
- Inspiron 14z, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000 @ RM1799[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, *no VGA port, OD

hi guys, would be appreciated if you guys can give me so recom..thx!

Not too sure about the exact battery life since most do not have reviews...
But expect them to last from 4-6 hours

Assuming your "normal use" does not include any serious gaming:
15.6"

I am finalizing my decision, for around RM2800

http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-14r-se-7...ron-14r-se-7420

This laptop is the highest spec I can get, 1TB Storage, core i7, 8GB RAM, 2GB Nvidia Graphics.

Before I make my order, anyone wanna recommend me OTHER laptop that has this kind of specs, has good aftersales, and BETTER looking compared to this, while maintaining budget around 2800?

Specifications for local Y400/500 are already out iinm, if you can wait, better wait for those.

If you are buying in a hurry, then the Y580 would be good enough
15.6"
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming

*use remaining money to upgrade the warranty to 3 years on-site

Lenovo Y480 and the upcoming Y400

no idea for the price
but I saw from lowyat selling 2999
but got a lot model lar, some with blu ray

choose 1 from below
Lenovo
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3999[JBL], 8GB, 32GB mSATA + 1TB HDD, W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years warranty

else can consider Asus G55VW-S1216H, i7-3610QM +Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999[3.78kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8

but lenovo y580 much better

top up little bit get Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming

hye again, thanx for the reply. I heard that asus has the bad aftersale service. is it true?

and is the lenovo g580 have the same performance as asus N56VZ-S3151H?
