Very tight budget to play Dota Dota and Dota2 actually can be played in HD3000, if you set it to low setting Something with discrete GPU make life more fun though

Care to tell us what game titles you play?
If you do pro-level pictures and video editing, could make use of i7 quad core. FHD screen is also nice, as you get more work space.

Have a look at the N56VZ in person, quite pretty (part of price premium)

In terms of raw spec, all brands are more or less the same (CPU from Intel, GPU from Nvidia / AMD, ... )
So normally the differentiating factors are price/performance ratio (Asus & Lenovo .. ), aesthetic appeal (Asus, HP, ... subjective to personal taste), warranty support (Dell ... ) ...

GPU is the same. CPU is practically the same, just clock differently.
Yes, there is mSATA SSD. Please note it's factory set for caching only.
Yes, it is possible for you to swap out the HDD and replace it with SSD in the future. It usually won't void the warranty

Personally, I find touch screen on conventional laptop is not ergonomic to use (hands get tired quickly poking across keyboard), and worry about the sturdiness of the hinge holding the screen to the keyboard base. Touch screen on those hybrid / convertible laptop is a lot of fun though

Any laptop with Intel HD4000 IGPU can support 3 display, it's part of HD4000 functionality. The problem is how are you going to connect 3 displays to the laptop
Laptop has 1 screen. If your laptop has a VGA port, and/or a (mini)HDMI port, and/or (mini)DisplayPort then may be you could. If not, you are out of luck.
And plug in / out VGA / HDMI / DisplayPort cable repeatedly get old reaaaaally fast

Get proper workstation (Thinkpad, Latitude / Precision, Elitebook) with docking, the user will thank you These laptop also has better build quality, matte screen, better warranty support.

Alienware don't have dedicated docks from Dell, iinm. But you may try the Dell D3000 USB3.0 dock, or the Targus USB3.0 dock.

Since you did not specify what type of work it is for, can't tell what type of GPU you need.
Also let us know your budget please.

Acer (closest)
V5-551G-84552G1T, A8-4555 + AMD HD7650M@RM1599, 2GB, 1TB, W8 (be warned. The CPU is weaker than 1st gen Intel i3 But the graphic performance is OK)
Aspire V3-471G-53212G75d, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[2.3kg], 2GB, 750GB W8

Haswell most likely will only pop up in laptop in Malaysia around Sep/Oct13 (or even later). Unlike Ivy bridge where all CPU get the same IGPU HD4000, Haswell CPUs could get different IGPU, the top one looks pretty good around Nvidia GT620/630M level (but the top IGPU may only come in top CPU )

The mSATA SSD, you will not see it in file explorer for your to save files or install apps. It is set in BIOS for caching so that the files / apps that you frequently run will launch faster (but it is a hit / miss affair. Better than nothing though ).
It's a good ultrabook, with good GPU.
Please remember to negotiate a bit from the RM2399 HP list price
Yes, please extend warranty to 3 years if you could afford it
Also get a cooling pad (~ RM80 will do. Or use table fan ) when you use ultrabook (especially powerful one like this). Heat (and dust) is enemy no.1 for laptop

Do you mean you need business class laptop, or you are just looking for laptop to use in your business?
If you mean business class laptop, Lenovo has its Thinkpad in Malaysia. Toshiba and Acer does not really push their Tecra and Travelmate respectively in Malaysia (a few models here and there but difficult to find, and don't offer really good on site warranty support )
Since you prefer something light, then 14" or smaller.
SSD 256G is ~ RM600+/- off the shelf. Coming together as standard specs of laptop sometime could be a lot more expensive

Use your remaining budget to upgrade RAM (4G stick ~ RM80), extend warranty to 3 years (Dell).

Yes, HD 4000 only come with Ivy bridge.
HD 3000 that come in Sandy bridge, iinm, can only support 2 displays. So if you get laptop with Sandy Bridge CPU, you will need a dedicated Nvidia / AMD GPU to support 3 displays.
4G RAM stick is ~ RM80 off the shelf, direct from laptop brands is more expensive
For CAD, you will prefer i7 quad core (but don't need XM, waste of money ). For professional use, go for Firepro or Quadro GPU (with certified driver) for best performance, but consumer class GPU is workable also (but I understand some software like Solidwork may not run fully optimised with consumer class GPU)

Actually if you upgrade the HDD to SSD after market, it normally will not void the warranty of the laptop, so you actually could consider any models listed previously (just that the SSD won't have warranty from laptop brand, but warranty from SSD brand).

Aiyo, want good look, but don't play game, best way to burn money is to buy MacBook

Apple

Y580 run hot Easy fix is to buy a caddy to swap the HDD to ODD (and leave the ODD as external drive). If you could find the RM2999 spec (resellers were selling at RM27xx, but good luck in finding that ), you can use your remaining budget to buy 128G SSD (~RM300+/-) and put in the HDD bay (install OS and apps on the SSD), increase RAM (4G stick ~ RM80), upgrade warranty to 3 years on site (~ RM250), and still within your budget
If you opt for Y580, strongly suggest you get a local set. Grey imports may be cheaper, but some users complain that they could not get warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia.

Y480 is EOL Any new sets in Malaysia right now are likely to be grey imports. Some users complain they could not get warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia on their grey import Y4/580.

Yes, for photoshop and GIS mapping, i7 quad core is good (but i5 is servisable as well). You don't need very high end GPU
RAM is cheap, 4G stick is ~ RM80.
1TB HDD is also cheap Price difference between 500G and 1TB HDD is < RM100.
You can easily upgrade RAM and HDD (negotiate with resellers), it normally will not void warranty of the laptop (just that the RAM and HDD has warranty from the component brand rather than laptop brand).
