You are always welcomed here haha

@nexus2238 sifu, we have always wanted to create some "notebooks of the month/ best bang for buck etc.", do you mind helping out? We need someone who has more experience at writing, and also in experience with the said notebooks

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.

Preferred Brand: Any but not Acer
Budget: around RM 2.5
Usage: Heavy programming + multitasking. Minimum gaming. Need 8GB RAM.
Preferred laptop/screen size: 14/15

I'm looking for decent processor, GPU don't need so cangih

A 15" notebook would be a good pick because of the better cooling
15.6"
Dell
Inspiron 15R, i7-3612QM +AMD HD7670M@RM2599[2.74kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8

Lenovo

Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white

Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
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.

Thank you for your information.I like Acer V5-471PG-53334G50. But some comment they choose any brand but not acer.
Acer got a lot of problem? Or If i need some long lasting and functionable, which one is better?

Please recommend a budget laptop
1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo, Dell, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Asus
2. Budget - Below RM1500, the cheaper the better
3. Usage - No gaming, general office work
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 3rd gen i3, 14 or 15 inch doesn't matter

suggest this :

Dell New Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
ASUS A55VD-SX471/472/473, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1599[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/red/white
Dell New Inspiron 15, i3-2117U + Intel HD4000@RM1299[2.25kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

price is RSP and negotiable.

Hey guys, can you all help me search some?
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.

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.
