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"
*
Closest would be this one:
14"
Lenovo G480, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS

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

~RM2k, 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

~RM2.5k, this:
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

Price is RSP, negotiable.
I would think among the titles you list, world of tanks is the most GPU demanding. Once you turn up the resolution / details, it can even make high end mobile GPU crawl sweat.gif SC2, on the other hands, will only slightly lag if you have big battle going smile.gif
If you go for the 2 models in ~RM2k, World of Tanks, I think if you play in 1366x768, you have to turn down the details.

Do you mean N56VZ & Y400?
Playing at 1366x768, max setting, you should get 40-50 fps.

Sifus..need some help and clarifications pls.. rclxub.gif

1. Lenovo, asus or any other brands that is reputable with good reliability
2. Budget: rm2k ~ rm 2.5k
3. Usage: web browsing, microsoft word/powerpoint, gaming (PES 2012 onwards,PCSX,MMORPGs, and most importantly, DOTA 2)..
4. ~14" is good enough for me. I don't think I would want FHD on such small screen. Just HD is fine.

Some extra questions for clarifications:

a) with the budget stated above, to what extend is dota 2 playable?possible to get 50~ fps ish with max settings at 720p?or have to mess around with settings abit? medium settings perhaps?
I've googled around and read in forums that even with y580, they only managed to get 30fps(not sure if its at FHD or not). But I have also read that DOTA 2 is not a gpu demanding game. Kinda confused here.

b) Planning to get the laptop around CNY or feb. Any coming PC fairs in the next couple months or so?

c) Even if there's a pc fair, is it better(pricing wise) to get the laptop at the fair or at the brand shop itself/at lowyat?

d)

Saw these on previous post. Also putting these laptops in my consideration list....Any thoughts regarding these laptops with my question on DOTA 2 above?

e) For the inspiron 14r special edition,what does the 28nm kepler means on the nvidia GT640m?new architecture? does that mean there's also GT640m with other keplers or....?

Sorry for the questions. Hope you guys can enlighten me. Any advise or opinions are much appreciated. notworthy.gif

a. Dota 2 is not GPU demanding. Period. Y580 can't handle Dota2? You must be joking laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif FYI, sifus here has shown that Intel HD 4000 can play dota 2 smile.gif
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2247352/+1400
See post 1410 by sifu Acid_RuleZz.

b. Read TJ fabolous blog on "don't buy in PC Fair" laugh.gif (You can find the link from his signature)

c. Refer to b.

d. Refer to a.

e. Thanks to Nvidia. GT640M come in Kepler (the newer 28nm GK107) flavour, and LE version which may come in Fermi (the older 40nm GF108) flavour whistling.gif

As for the suggestion, you already found them: A45VS, 14R SE, Y400 smile.gif

hey but just heard they r having up to 50% for Dr.Dre Beats Solo also (retail Rm1080) due to clearing stock for uncontinue model. Like US already cannot find this, only can find Dr.Dre Beats Solo HD has a better sound quality, 2 types of wires and a bit more expensive.
