You canNOT find local set Y480 anymore, all new units in the market is probably grey imports.

Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty (Stock limited, it's probably hard for you to find it anymore)
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3499[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty

Price is RSP, negotiable.

Some owners have complained that they face difficulties in getting warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia on their grey import units  sweat.gif

The Lenovo Y series is your best bet. Otherwise, within your budget looking for GT650M or better:

Asus 15"
N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black

Illegear 11.6"
R-11, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2999, 8GB, 500(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU options: i5-3210M-i7-3630QM]

Yeah, illegear is officially in Malaysia: http://www.illegear.com/
The warranty seemed pretty fast and reliable..
Illegear notebooks are good if you are looking to max out performance for your budget  rclxms.gif

if that the case, i will consider illegear. afraid it will be disappointing. hope anyone whom has tried illegear b4 can give some comments. =)

Can't get anything cheaper than RS-15 in Malaysia, consider the specs it carried smile.gif

been considering the lenovo y400 for a while, but the spec rs-11 is better.
rs-15( too pricey) need a longer time to save money.

Nope  laugh.gif
Not joking, there is no other laptop under 12.5" with that kind of raw power.
13" closest
Vaio SVS13125CV, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M LE@RM3099[1.72kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8; colors: maroon/white/black/pink; Vaio carrying case (but still rather weak)

14"
Alienware M14x R2, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M (1GB) + (1600x900)@RM3999[2.92kg][Klipsch], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); [CPU Options: i7-3630QM - i7-3840QM], W8, 2 years warranty
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD

agreed, none under 12.5"
however i think can use external monitor. hehe
will consider to buy Rs-11 or y400. both seems ok to me. icon_rolleyes.gif

thanks mate. wink.gif
