Y480 don't have FHD

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8
Vostro 3560, i7-3632QM + AMD HD7670M + 32GB SSD + 750GB(7200rpm) HDD + (1920x1080)@RM3209[2.57kg], 8GB, W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

Negotiate, can get them below RM3k.
And that's all you can find in Malaysia

The Y480 is best bang for your buck if you can find it
Otherwise, these:

Asus
A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8

Lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

GW2 is quite GPU demanding. At 1366x768 (HD) resolution, you have to turn down the details to make it playable with GT640M.

Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + AMD HD7730M@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8
ASUS A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8
ASUS A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black
HP Pavilion G4-2111TX, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2499[2.19kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP
HP Envy Dv4-5202TX/5203TX, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2399[Beats], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8, black/red

are they ok for you?

thank you

to the both of you thank you very much

just wondered if there are other models that would be suitable, because I heard that its hard to find the y480 now =\ nonetheless I will to look for it thank you again

Oh yea nexus thanks for the extra info, I'll keep that in mind

Any idea if Malaysia gonna get the UX32VD full HD / i7 version, and if so, when?

guys, just a last question before I order my laptop. Do you think I should get a 14/15inch laptop or a 17inch laptop? I am currently studying in Uplands taking IB.. So.. I am not sure which one should I go for.. Usually game + school work + taking down notes.

Preferred = high battery life(no need bring charger) , touchscreen able to transform to tablet, as light as possible , detachable screen
Brand = any
Budget = below 4k
Usage = surf the net and lite gaming (2D indie games ), programming homework
Preferred laptop/screen size = below 13" (as light as possible)

so far i am eyeing on Lenovo Yoga 13(non detachable screen) seem like i dont have much alternative ATIV pro is always out of stock and i dislike the plastic like feel from Samsung....

Any suggestion on weather should i continue to wait for better up coming ultrabook ??

Everyone please if you know where can I find Asus zenbook touch screen in Malaysia.I was looking for it around 3months but nobody knows.Asus showed this model in their events as a display model,but I couldn't find it anywhere. So please if anyone have any news on this specific model just let me know. They sell the core i5 model on bestbuy in USA.but they don't have any shipping method outside the country.I just heard that they also sell this in Singapore but I couldn't find any online dealers from Singapore.

1. Dell / Asus / HP / others
2. Rm3000 +-
3. Windows 8 pro, running Hyper-V .
4. 14'

i5 3rd Gen, 8 - 16Gb ram, USB3 port needed.
'Intel-VT' feature enable in Bios.
120G SSD / 500 HDD(7200rpm if possible) + mSata/SSD
FreeDos (since i got my own license key)
*ultrabook if possible, touchscreen(technology stable now??)

thanks in Advance

Pretty late in the game changing game plan
Unless you are seriously strong, 17" will break your back sooner or later, carrying it to and fro school daily
M17 and RS17 weight more than 4kg
Also, unless you can plug into electric supply at school, all these gaming laptops won't give you long battery performance. But at least 14/15" last slightly longer than 17"

You said it, so far the only model that fully satisfy your requirement is:
ATIV Smart Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3599[884g w/o keyboard], 4GB, stylus, W8; color: black

Plastic is good for wireless reception

If you are not in a hurry, see if Lenovo Malaysia bring in Helix, or Microsoft Surface Pro

Not officially launched in Malaysia yet

being a man in the army before, 17" models never break my back. but i read that the battery of AW M17x can last 4 hours, with surfing web only. perhaps its the job of the 9-cell battery?

Practically all Ivy bridge CPU support Intel VT.
What you need is Intel Chipset that support Intel v-Pro (sifus please correct me if I am wrong ), that mean you need to find laptop with QM77/67 chipset (Most consumer laptop has HM77/6 chipset).

QM77/67 is normally (but not necessary always, some come pre-configure with HM77) found in business laptop like Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Elitebook, Lenovo Thinkpad.

Dell
Latitude E5430, i5-3320M + Intel HD4000@RM3200, 4GB, 320GB(5400rpm), W7P (32-bit)/W8 Pro, 3 years pro support; [CPU Options: i5-3320M - i7-3520M], HD+ screen upgradable
Latitude E6430, i5-3320M + Intel HD4000@RM4300, backlit keyboard, 3 Years, W7P (32-bit); [CPU options: i5-3320M-i7-3720QM][GPU option: Nvidia NVS 5200M], HD+ screen upgradable
Latitude E6430u, i5-3427U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM4500, 4GB, W8Pro, 3 years Pro support; [CPU options: i5-3427U - i7-3667U] (this is ultrabook)

Spec configurable. Price negotiable, but most likely will exceed your budget once you put in everything you want.

Thanks for reply.
Just check HP Envy4, there are 'Virtualization Technology' in bios.

One more question, izzit 500G+32SSD will have problem while i need to format and reinstall windows?

Good to hear. That mean HM77 also support VT

What do mean by problem?
You install OS in the HDD (factory default setting), not the mSATA SSD (for caching, factory default setting. You can find this in BIOS).
If you change the BIOS setting, you can install OS in the mSATA SSD (but lost the caching capability). The SSD is so small ....

I just want it and don't care about officially or not.because it have at least one year international warranty. So do you know where can I find unofficially.?

No I don't.

any suggestion for laptop with 14', 120G SSD, 8G　ram, i5-3xxxx ??
