[Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399[1.36kg], 4GB, W8, backlit

[Ultrabook] XPS13, i7-3517U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD+ (1920x1080)@RM4599[1.36kg], 8GB, W8, backlit

14"
Dell [Ultrabook] Latitude E6430u, i5-3427U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM4500, 4GB, W8Pro, 3 years Pro support; [CPU options: i5-3427U - i7-3667U]

The XPS 13 is 13" in size whereas the 6430u is 14" in size.
Dell has disallowed regular users to easily obtain the prices for business units, so we do not have the most updated pricings, sorry about that.
But based on what we originally (and last) have, the E6430u is not cheap at all, which is pretty normal for a business-line notebooks

But since the XPS 13 is an awesome (and not to mentioned good looking) premium-line ultrabook, you can consider getting one over the Latitude as well, with enough money to extend warranty to 3 years, making it comparable to the E6430u which also comes wtih 3 years warranty as standard.
For the XPS13, the i5 + FUllHD variant would be more than enough, don't really need an i7 as it will get quite warm, regardless of which ultrabook you buy 

XPS13 is top notch 
But Latitude 6430u has a few tricks up its sleeve:
Matte screen. LAN, VGA, HDMI port if you ever need it Can expand RAM more easily. Can opt for HD+ screen.

yup, realise that. can you suggest other brand of laptop that is equal (plus/ minus) to illegear RS-11 

Brand
- does not matter
Budget
- anything as long as its good price for the performance.
- ideally 2-3k. but maximum 4k if its a good deal.
Usage
- Gaming.
- ideally anything with a class I graphic card or the upper limit of class II.
- (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html)
Size
- 14" or 15"
Preference
- it is better if it doesnt come with Windows. i shouldnt be paying ~rm200 for something i don even need.

I ve been searching for a new laptop, mainly to game with friend during lan party. i saw a few recommended Y480 (DOS version) but its no longer available. i was hoping for something similar to that where i have the best performance for the money spent.

https://help.ea.com/article/simcity-system-requirements
Look at the system requirement on SimCity 2013.
On PC:
"nVidia 7800 or better, an AMD chipset of at least an ATI Radeon HD 2x00 or better, or an Intel Series 4 integrated graphics or better"
Confused? Don't worry. If you pay attention and look at MacOS section, you will see:
"Players will need at least an nVidia 9400M or Intel HD3000"

So anything with Intel HD4000 will handle SimCity 2013 easily

Dell
Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell (come with W8)

Lenovo
G480, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS (a bit of overkill Need to get W8 yourself)

Prices are RSP, negotiable (a bit).
Please note the suggestion is based on system requirement provided by EA Btw, if you know anyone who has a laptop with Intel HD4000 IGPU only, download the demo and try the game out, ok?

Nope 
Not joking, there is no other laptop under 12.5" with that kind of raw power.
13" closest
Vaio SVS13125CV, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM3099[1.72kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8; colors: maroon/white/black/pink; Vaio carrying case (but still rather weak)

14"
Alienware M14x R2, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M (1GB) + (1600x900)@RM3999[2.92kg][Klipsch], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); [CPU Options: i7-3630QM - i7-3840QM], W8, 2 years warranty
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

So you are young and can carry heavy weight huh?
Laptop speakers are generally not good. Cheap RM100 desktop speakers have better sound
You should know the price of full SSD (128G ~ RM300+/-). Those mSATA (24G/32G) SSD in some of the laptop is factory set for caching, you can't save or install anything on it (won't see it in file explorer) unless you wade into BIOS to change setting.
Even if you buy from your friend's shop, if there were hardware failure, your friend still need to send to SC. Some SC take weeks / months to fix laptop. Consider yourself warned Laptop is unlike desktop, you can't just take out a faulty component but have to send the whole unit to SC.

For most of the models, you can swap in a full SSD that it's still within your budget
Laptop of 14" and above usually has standard RAM slots for user to upgrade RAM. The HDD bay also is usually accessable for user to swap HDD or SSD.
13" or smaller, depend on model. Some model has fused RAM and no RAM slot. And due to slimness, the HDD / SSD normally is of < 7mm thick.
Again, laptop components are a lot more fragile than desktop counterpart. Lots of things can die on you

For RM2.5k, you can get touch screen.
Acer
M5-481PTG-53316G52, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M + 20GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2999, 10-point touch, W8

If you expect stylus input, and still want to play game, NO
Most of the hybrid (Surface Pro is one) only come with HD4000 (or worse) IGPU (unless you want to play in the lowest setting and still with some lag ... )
Acer 11.6"
Iconia W700, i3-2365M + Intel HD3000 + 64GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM2199, 4GB, W8 (now RM2.6k with keyboard and stylus)

Preferred Brand by ranking

2. Dell
3. Lenovo

Budget
- 2.5k below

Windows8
Have headphones
No need touchscreen

Any advice on this?
