Y u no follow format even in 1st page?

Not sure what you meant by around RM2.6k (max), but if you can afford it, the Lenovo Y400 would be one of the best choices for you (assuming you want a 14" notebook):

14"
Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

Otherwise, going down one level, would be 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

Where you still have enough budget to extend warranty to 3 years

sorry~ cos i continued from the old thread >3<

will the ultrabook, (im eying on Dell xps 12 duo / Lenovo Yoga btw) will be able to handle atleast, a little session of CAD/CAM software, lets just say i just want to view a CAD drawing. thats all. will they handle it?

because i like the tablet/ultrabook combo thingie, save money dont have to buy 2 separate things.

Looking forward for the answer. tq.

i think yes. just to mention not to go up to intermediate session.

yeah, no problems at all if only for viewing

Can consider the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro as well yo~
11.6"
Samsung
[Ultrabook] ATIV Smart Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3599[884g w/o keyboard], 4GB, stylus, W8; color: black

Been having a dilemma on this two laptops:
Asus
N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black @RM2799
Lenovo
Y400(59-356819), i7-3630QM/GT650M(GDDR5)@2799/4GB/500GB/W8/red backlit keyboard/120w psu/ODD (swappable)/2 yrs warranty/backpack

Both offer decent gaming GPUs.
So which is worth getting for gaming + studies.

Assuming your "Studies" only involve normal assignments using Microsoft Office. If that is the case, the Y400 would be the better pick since it is smaller and lighter, easier for you to carry around

Having the i7 CPU will also mean that the notebook is capable of rendering and simulation if your course requires it i.e. Engineering, Bioinformatics, designing etc.

Thanks TJ for the good suggestion..


Still, is gaming good/better on the ASUS N56VZ than the Lenovo Y400 with the same resolution just that its a bigger screen?

Both will have similar gaming performance.

is there any laptop hp, acer (non-custom build gaming laptop) that comes with the ATI 7970m graphics card?

What I mean is that will the games be affected on a bigger screen with the same resolution. Like pixels blurring

HP and Acer, none.

No pixel blurring, just that the picture is bigger on N56.

n56 has matte screen, while y400 has glossy screen

So now brand wise.

Which is better?

I really can't decide, there isn't anything convincing enough to get me to decide firmly on one laptop .

1. Brand i dont care as long as it is good
2. Below 2k
3. Gaming and study(doing assignments)
4. 14 " or bigger

So please give me suggestions

Asus Malaysia has poorer after sales service compared to Lenovo. But Asus products are still okay in general... just pray that you don't get a bad Apple
This thread will help you make up your mind: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2337458

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

*Price is in RRP, can bargain~

If you prefer something cheaper (and of course, weaker), then these:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8

HP Pavilion G4-2132/2133TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1899[2.19kg], 2GB ,500GB(7200rpm), W7HB, colors: white/black

Lenovo G480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty

15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15R, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1899[2.65kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8

For these notebooks, try to use your remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years

Hi there looking for a laptop. please advise

1. Any Brand
2. Budget below 1.5k ( the cheaper the better for me)
3. Gaming (games like heroes of newerth and ragnarok online 2) not for cod or those high end games
4. at least 14"

1. no preferred brand. as long as the goods has its quality and durable any brand would do.
2. max 2500 but prefer below 2000
3 use to play starcraft 2 , world of tanks, cs 1.6 and dota 2. starcraft 2 seems to be a graphic heavy game if i cant find a suitable choice within my budget i dun mind excluding sc2. also use for progamming n photoshop.
4 13-14inch

i had posted suggestions in your topic. you could take a look.
