Price = below 2k
Brand = Asus, Sony, Fujitsu, Toshiba.....or lenovo maybe. (Definitely no Acer and HP)
Purpose = Uni purpose. (Study mechanical engineering). Slight gaming (Dota 2).
Others (Must) = Multitouch touchpad with gesture control. Screen 13"-14".
Optional = Touchscreen, backlit keyboard, good battery life, aluminium body, good protability (Ultrabook).

Laptop I found
Sony VAIO E Series - i3 3310m, HD4000 = RM1899
Toshiba Sattelite U840 - i3 3217U, HD7550m, backlit keyboard = 1899
Fujitsu Lifebook L series - i3 3110m, GT620m, 2GB DDR3 = 1899
ASUS K46CM - i5 3317U, GT635m, 2GB DDR3, DVD = 1999
the ASUS K46CM will be better pick. by the way, why do you need a touchpad with gesture control? i dont see the popularity in gesture control. hmm.gif

A 15" notebook would be a good pick because of the better cooling nod.gif

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM2599[2.29kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
ASUS A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

the best pick is lenovo z580, then buy another 4gb stick RAM = RM80 and upgrade yourself. getting total 8GB from seller is not a good choice as it is more expensive.

EDIT : some models suggested by sifu TJ. blush.gif

Windows 8 needed it, without multitouch it's reall difficult browsing around. Btw i would not carrying a mouse around. I used it in my room only.
But the problem is 2GB is enough? And K46CM I don't think it's upgradable.
