Hey guys im coming back home from overseas and I need to buy a laptop in KL coz i prefer the prices and diversity here..
So..

1. Preferred Brand = ASUS / DELL / SONY

2. Budget RM2500-RM3000

3. Usage - High-end games/so all games can at least run on highest resolution and HIGH settings
- video encoding, example; converting huge bluray files into small brrip mkv files with x264 10bit

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
either 14 inch or better 15inch will do.

PS = > additionally it would be cool if the vents for heat release are on ideal sides
> hd at least 1 tb
>bluray/dvd disk drive must be able to eject(not the type of laptop which have a slot to insert the cd"
> can the bluray drive play dvd discs as well? im not too sure on this

with that budget, you have to top up at least RM700 to get your desired laptop. blu-ray drives aint cheap nowadays cuz it takes a longer time for price drop. if you dont mind about budget top up, i can suggest you some models with blu-ray ODD and 1TB HDD.

ASUS N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3499[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty

as for dell and sony, i dont know if there are any models that comes with blu-ray drives. even if they do come with, they will be overpriced. also, try negotiate with the seller for RM300 drop (if possible).

FYI, blu-ray drives can play DVDs as well.

Bro thank you for replying! em, actually i havent purchased even 1 bluray in my life. do you think i need one? i mean mostly i download brrips and all, and games too some from digital download. so.... whaddaya think?

- how about those models with a combo drive( non bluray)
- and do you think that if i constantly play dvd's in a bluray drive, will it get damaged/spoilt over time?

sounds like i misunderstood. blush.gif if you omit blu-ray options, then i would suggest:

Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty
Lenovo Ideapad Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD
ASUS N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black

FYI, all these above are 1366x768 resolution except the Y580. as for blu-ray drives, they wont spoil easily if you play but if you do constant burning non-stop, it will.

ok the dell options seem awesome, because of...
the i7 processor, 8 gb and 1 tb hd

BUT I HAVE ONE PROBLEM WITH the inspirion series... the metal/steel layout. whenever i use the bulit in moust i always get static electricity flowing up my hand. i dunno why! my friend bought this one thats why i know.

2nd in place is asus. damn that thing looks simple and BEAUTIFUL. BUT...
the i5 is a turnoff. and the ram is only 4 gb AND the HD only 750gb sad.gif(

lenovo Y580 looks sturdy and strong.. but the ram and hd is bad sad.gif(

so close.... is there any asus model with the inspirionlike specs? sad.gif
