1. Preferred Brand - Anything, or dell for its support.
2. Budget - RM3k
3. Usage - photoshop and casual gaming (medium or low setting for diablo 3, starcraft 2 is fine), i travel alot.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13/14

i prefer something light, portable and easy to carry. ScreenSize doesn't matter to be small.

Yes, the Y500 come with ultrabay. And for the standard spec in Malaysia, that ultrabay is filled with an ultrabay GT650M.
If you want a Bluray, you may buy another ultrabay Bluray, or simply get an external Bluray drive

If you buy from Lenovo Malaysia, and the unit come with International Warranty, if your unit encounter hardware problem in Malaysia, you send to Lenovo Malaysia SC and Lenovo will fix it here (pending parts availability). If your unit encounter hardware problem while you are oversea, you send to Lenovo SC in that country and Lenovo will fix it there.

There are some reports of owners who bought grey import unit (unit that is not sold by Lenovo Malaysia, but import by re-seller from overseas), and could not get warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia.

An Asus N56vz perhaps?
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black

Comes with pretty decent specs and its not as bulky as the other rivals
Doesn't come with SSD though, but you can always upgrade that one yourself later on~

Buddy, what is medium gaming? Give us some game titles please
Graphic and video editing could use some CPU power (i7 is nice). But then i7 drain battery
All laptop speakers are not good Get a pair of cheap RM100 desktop speakers for better sound.
If you want to upgrade HDD to SSD, SSD 128G ~ RM300+/-, 256G ~ RM600+/-.
Since you want better battery performance, some 14" ultrabook for you

Asus
K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD

HP
Envy4-1204TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD8750M@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 (reasonable speakers among laptop)

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
Use your remaining budget to increase RAM (Asus, 4G stick ~ RM80), swap out the HDD for SSD, extend warranty to 3 years (HP).

To all LYN Sifus, currently 18 a student in A.P.U, first time buying laptop, need recomendation.

Course : Software Engineering Diploma Year 1

Your intended usages: slightly low end games will do, Minimum Dota2. Might involve in visual basic or simple coding next year.

Preferred brands: I don't know any about Laptop. Ask me desktop sap sap shui ~ First time buying laptop

Budget: Around 2.5k

Unfortunately, Dell don't have any ultrabook within your budget that could do some gaming Closest:
Dell
Inspiron 14z, i5-3337U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2549[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD (GPU slightly underpower, need to game in low detail)
XPS 14, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT630M + 32GB mSATA+ 500GB(5400rpm) HDD + (1600x900)@RM3849[2.1kg], 4GB, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, W8 (over your budget)

Consider this:
HP
Envy4-1204TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD8750M@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

The HD8750M is among the most powerful GPU you will find in ultrabook. HP warranty service is also pretty good Extend warranty to 3 years.

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Laptop are expensive The RM2.5k may not buy half the power you enjoy in desktop
Dota2 is not GPU demanding. Anything i5 M should handle your software engineering needs pretty well.

Do you need to carry it around? What is the weight that you can handle?
What is important to you? Nice design? Nice spec? Good warranty support?

Buy online here.
Negotiate by online chat

how to initiate online chat with them? sorry first time negotiating through online chat D:

1. Preferred Brand = Any I can't decide on this
2. Budget = RM 2k to RM 2,5k
3. Usage = For uni/college, watching video and some gaming such as DotA 2 or COD
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = around 14 inch?? not sure. not too small
5. Maybe a ultrabook so that it's not too heavy and SSD hard drive.

Thank you! =)

Thanks for the promptly reply.

Weight and portability not important for me, cause I will fully shut down PC only take away, if not if u take around with HDD running will definitely die fast
Weight of a CPU Mid Tower also dun mind (ofcourse not those with heavy CPU Coolers)
Nice design is optional. Spec? If possible audiophile and have good storage and have little space of SSD for OS ?
Warranty its okay. No need those very friendly warranty. As I might buy from friend's pc shop, anything can direct back to him.

Additional question
Do u think 2.5k can get touch screen? And pen input?
I guess can't.
And hopefully laptop can assemble and change ram and HDD ? Or Upgrade ? Cause these 2 things easily die normally.
Oh yeah, from my needs, software engineering, visual basic those. The Microsoft Surface Pro can fit? I kinda like the pen input, so i can scribble notes around in class

been considering the lenovo y400 for a while, but the spec rs-11 is better.
rs-15( too pricey) need a longer time to save money.

Brand: Any
Usage: low/medium gaming like the new SimCity that is coming out soon.
Screen: no bigger than 15"
RAM: I have two ddr3 4gb ram lying around, so minimum as I have the upgrade already

Budget is under 1.2k as I need to buy Windows 8

thanks again bro!
i was considering XPS13, is that any good compare to XPS14? and i read some acticles that HD4000 can really handle most of my gaming needs.

go for Lenovo G480.
