Hi everyone! I need advice on good laptops. Here's my requirements:

1. Brands - None
2. Budget - Below RM3,000 (but will consider going up to RM3,500 if necessary)
3. Usage - Programming work, photo/media editing and gaming.
4. Screen - 15" and above, preferably 1080p resolution, non-glossy.

Other less important things:
5. HDD - At least 500mb Hard Disk space. A SSD Hybrid would be great too.
6. Weight - Does not matter.
7. Keyboard - layout and buttons somewhat matters but it's something I need to have a hands-on to get a feel of it.
8. OS - Preferably W8 for the REALLY quick bootup speed. Otherwise I can settle for W7.

There's one laptop I've found which I quite like - the ASUS N56VZ - (i7 3610QM, 15.6" 1080p, Nvidia GT650M) but I've not seen one with Windows 8 and a SSD hybrid HDD in retail stores (although their website seems to indicate it's availability). It has really sleek and nice body design but it's also on the pricier side at about RM3599. Can anyone recommend good alternatives based on these? Thanks in advanced! biggrin.gif

Or this one:
Dell
Vostro 3560, i7-3632QM + AMD HD7670M + 32GB SSD + 750GB(7200rpm) HDD + (1920x1080)@RM3209[2.57kg], 8GB, W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

These are the only 3 models in Malaysia that has 15"+ FHD anti-glare screen and within your budget ( < RM3.5k).
Anything else is > RM4k, most are > RM5k.

Thanks for the replies! Only 3 models for that specs at that price? That's so limited options... cry.gif

Oh yeah I was also looking at Dell Inspiron 15R. Specs and pricing are quite good. Only thing that's holding me back is the GPU. How's the gaming quality on that laptop? Also, I'm wondering if that ASUS model has customization options? I can't seem to find any info about that.
