price and spec already stated, look carefully
for g75vx, it cost 5999 = 6k = forget about it

This one:
Lenovo
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty (Stock limited)

CPU & GPU powerful enough for all your video editing and photoshop/lightroom.
Stock is limited, going to EOL soon, grab it quick while you can

You can upgrade RAM (or ask the reseller to help you), 4G stick ~RM80. It will not void warranty if you do not accidentally damage warranty stickers inside the laptop (normally there is no warranty sticker near RAM slot).
How much RAM a laptop can support depends on:
a. OS - if you use 32bit OS, anything above 4G could not be utilised. W7S, W7HB, etc also has limitation.
b. RAM slots - most laptop has 2 / 4 RAM slots. If the laptop has 2 RAM slots, and 1 of them is occupied by a 4G stick, and you want 16G, then obviously you need to get rid (or trade in) the 4G stick in order to fit in 2x8G. RAM in some ultrabook are fused onto motherboard and has no RAM slot for expansion.
c. Memory controller - this used to be on motherboard, but Intel i-core CPU (like so many other CPUs) has integrated memory controller. Without going into too much detail, if you go i7, your laptop will be able to utilise 16G RAM.

If stock is limited... Where do i get one of them? 14r se wont be enuf eh? Do i go for the official site or to lowyat or something.

Errr ... how could we help you unless you tell us where you are?
Lenovo don't sell online in Malaysia.

Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8
This is one of the laptop in Malaysia with most raw power at RM2k price point. Now whether it is enough for you, I really don't know, because I don't know how "heavy" is your video editing The software you listed can utilise quad core.

Im in kelana jaya. Digital mall should have right?

Heavy eh, not that heavy nowadays i guess. But high ram is a must for me now. My multitasking is just stupid since i like to open all 3 apps at 1 time

Gaming wise. I dont care much about "highest" setting. All i want is for normal gaming for latest games.

No smoke simulation or sort on ae. Coz, if i buy the dell, i could buy external hdd. Extra warranty. Does it support 16gb ram?

Hi I'm interested in either the Lenovo Ideapad Y580 or Y480, however i can't seem to find out the price. Could you help me here?

Anyway here's some info if you have any other recommendations that would fulfill my criteria,

brand : asus or lenovo
budget : 2.5k below
usage : browsing, moderate gaming,

i am looking for an ultrabook, convertibles would be a plus. currently whats on my mind are lenovo yoga 13, dell xps 12, and samsung ativ smart pc pro. Which is the best?

So far...i see the yoga got some good feedbacks. Thanks

looking for a laptop that meets these specs.any suggestion?or should i wait for a while for a new model?
1.brand: any brand,as long as they offer good service after sales/warranty claims
2.min spec: 3rd gen i5 n 4g ram
3.purpose :able to play 2010 games with medium setting,office works
4 screen: 14"
5:budget: max 2.65k,including for extending warranty for 3 years

anyone can help?

thanks

For Dell units you can just order online, its more convenient, especially if you are going to extend warranty to 3 years
Otherwise, you can deal with "viper88" in Garage Sales as well, he sells original Dell units + warranty + discounts

Y480 and Y580 are EOL-ed already, both are pretty hard to find anymore... remaining ones are non-local sets
Perhaps you can save around RM100 more to get the newer and potentially better-performing Y400

It depends on what you want to do with the convertibles, and of course your budget as well
Personally I'd stick to the ATIV Smart PC Pro, because it can be "transformed" directly into tablet mode, it is more convenient and easy to bring about; whereas the Yoga, XPS 12 and Vaio 11, despite being converted into tablet mode, the keyboard is still attached = heavier.

I'm not very keen on the Yoga 13 since when it is converted into tablet mode, the keyboard will become the base of the entire tablet, and will be prone to damage and scratches... if you really want a Lenovo, you can wait for the upcoming Lenovo Helix

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

Use your remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years~
And perhaps upgrade to 8GB RAM with money to spare for accessories

Kind of asking alot for your budget I think haha, but can consider these:
14"
Sony Vaio SVE14A26CV, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M + (1600x900)@RM3199[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8; colors: black/grey; Vaio backpack, mouse and keyboard skin

15.6'
Dell
Inspiron 15R, i7-3517U + AMD HD8730M + (1920x1980; anti-glare)@RM3199[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL

Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8


Lenovo
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty (Stock limited)

In terms of performance , i3-3217u n i5-3317u makes a huge diff for normal use? Mostly gonna use it for programming n uml stuff..

Since both are ULV processors, better get the i5 one since it'll offer better CPU performance

There is no ultrabook with optical drive AND touch screen unfortunately

Hi all, need some recommendation here:

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - Any
3. Usage - Multimedia
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13"-15"
5. Others - Full HD Touchscreen with Bluray Drive

Thanks.
