1. Preferred Brand - Open to any
2. Budget - max RM3000
3. Usage - everyday photoshop and programming, casual gaming d3,gw2 (dont really care bout hi/max setting)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14", i7 if possible, prefer sleek and thin design like ultrabook if possible

Thin designs usually don't go well with performance, as performance is compromised in order to achieve the thinness.
Certainly not recommended for heavy gaming either.

However, the Acer M5 is something you can look at. Priced at 2.9, 3rd gen i5 proc with gt640m for discrete graphics, which is pretty impressive for thin and light.
On the other hand, we have the Dell Inspiron 14z as well, packing i7 proc, with amd graphics, priced at 2.9 as well.

If you can settle for something less ultrabook like, then you should consider the y580 as well, pricing is similar to the previous mentioned models, while having a i7 and gt650 graphics.
Not forget to mention that is has Full-HD display as well.
