Dear all,

appreciate your help and advice here. Am looking for a laptop, here's my requirement

1. no specific brand preference
2. not more than RM3k
3. Usage: MS office work (MS Word, Excel, etc) - 30%, internet and email (40%), gaming (mostly simple game like dota 2) - 30%
4. 14" and above
5. Extra - would like something with higher resolution than 1366 x 768 and faster hardisk (>5400 rpm) - if can get SSD within budget that would be a bonus

thanks

bro, thanks for your reply. After much consideration, I decided to go for Y580, however, can't get it from the retail outlet.... sad.gif

Do you know of anyone that might have stock? prefer genuine distributor rather than individual seller from garage sell.

By the way, the sales rep just now try to sell me Y400 (Y500 is out of my budget...), personally I think the value of Y580 is much better compare to paying for Y400 since both are about the same price range. What do you think of Y400?

thanks

This one is getting hard to find.

Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3499[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty
This one I still see around LYP ~ RM32xx. Still awesome value for the money smile.gif

thank you all for the help. Will think it over and decide today whether to go for Y400 or Y580 (Y500 exceeded my budget sad.gif ). Problem is those reviews I found on internet are mostly based on unit in other countries with different spec.... anyway, I believe for casual gaming such as dota 2, Y400 should be able to handle it well right?

one last noob question, does plaza low yat seller accept credit cards? or those price quoted are for cash and carry offer only?

thanks a lot guys, your reply really help a lot notworthy.gif

cheers

Y400 is more than capable of handling dota2 at max setting smile.gif
The main difference for you between Y400 & Y580:
Y400 - lower screen resolution (1366x768), more bling, better thermal profile, lighter.
Y580 - higher screen resolution (1920x1080), run warmer, more heavy.

Price we provide you are RSP, negotiable with re-sellers (try to knock a couple of hundred from RSP tongue.gif ).
LYP sellers accept credit card, but normally will put surcharge (~ 2%).

Good luck in your hunting  thumbup.gif
