1. Preferred Brand - Dell due to after sales, considering other brands
2. Budget - RM3000 to RM4500
3. Usage - Multimedia editing (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - High resolution display for more working space, eg. 1920x1080

Side note: Other than MacBook Pro, does any of the company offer a IPS screen?

There are some notebooks that come with IPS screens, but unfortunately most of them are not really meant for photo editing sad.gif
For Dell, can consider the Inspiron 15R SE nod.gif
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8

or

Dell Vostro 3560, i7-3632QM + AMD HD7670M + 32GB SSD + 750GB(7200rpm) HDD + (1920x1080)@RM3209[2.57kg], 8GB, W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

*Vostro is budget-business line model, and comes entirely in matte, pretty useful if don't like fingerprints on the chassis laugh.gif
*use remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years on-site. And also upgrade the HDD to a full SSD (256GB should be enough). Having a fast SSD will help improve Photoshop loadtimes significantly  brows.gif
*8GB RAM is more than enough, so noneed to upgrade anymore, save the money for something else  icon_rolleyes.gif

I was looking around and seems like the Lenovo Y500 is a nice alternative to both Dell above? And I noticed those Vostro cannot purchase directly from Dell's website? sad.gif

Yes, plenty smile.gif
For example:
Asus Zenbook Prime, Envy Spectre XT 13, Envy Spectre 14, Dell Precision, HP Elitebook ...

Thanks! Was looking at the price for Dell Precision, seems like Dell website don't sell them directly to end users?
