Hi people. I'm seeking for something like this:
1. Preferred Brand
Non-specific. Need something tough and long lasting if possible. Preferably not Sony's ones :/
2. Budget
Within RM4k
3. Usage
Heavy photoshop/illustrator/aftereffects using, with web programming. May be used for light gaming too.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size
Able to support resolution of 1920x1080 and above.
5. Misc
- Preferably to have good battery life.
I'm using this as mobile workstation. I do have a desktop which is more than enough to support the role but sometimes need to meet up with clients and do modifications on the go.

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Dec 26 2012, 02:50 PM) The Y500 is the newest (and most powerful when in SLI configuration) among all these. But without Nvidia Optimus, the battery life will be affected. If you prefer something lighter and with relatively lower GPU performance, then these: 15.6" Asus N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8 If I narrow down the budget to below 3k, am I still able to get a wide screen (1920x1080) with ample GPU? And as shown in choices suggested by you it seems like only one is capable for 8gb of ram. Is there any options that exceeds 4 gb? |

Erm I've changed my criteria again lol
Brand : As long as not Sony
Budget : Within RM3k
Usage : Light to no gaming. Able to withstand heavy multitasking usage between Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash and Aftereffects. So I guess I need an adequet amount of RAMs :/
Screen : At least resolution of 1920x1080
Additionals :
- Installed with WINDOWS 7
- Preferably comes with both HDD and SSD
- Graphic card better than Integrated Intel HD Graphics blah blah blah (LOL)
