1) Preferred brand: other's brand ok, no HP, acer, sony
2) Highest rpm of HDD and large capacity, no SSD
3) Best resolution of screen ( for photography use)
4) CPU i5 or above
5) Scree size < 14", HD
6) OS Win 7 Pro / Win 8 Pro / Win 7 pro downgradable Win 8 Pro

9) Ram 4gb or above
10) Long battery life (at least 6 cell battery or 5 - 10 hrs)
11) Graphic as optional

ii) Yes, even if the laptop display don't have FHD, you can still connect the laptop to FHD external display and enjoy FHD resolution.

iii) 15" ultrabook line-up in Malaysia is a wash

i) You won't find FHD screen in 14", only HD+ (1600x900). FHD in 15", in Malaysia, can only be found among some heavy beast. There are plenty of FHD 13" laptop though

iv) 15" FHD laptop normally come with discrete GPU.

Heyyy Guys ^^ would need some help choosing my new laptop

Preferred brand: Any
Budget: 2k - 2.5k
Usage: Gaming (would prefer cool design laptops )
Screen size: the bigger the better, no need touch screen

Do recomend me a few choices so i can choose from them. Thanks in advance

Yes.

Still don't get why you want an ultrabook (which whole point of existence is for portability ) when you seldom move the laptop from a table

Haha..I wanted an ultrabook because I feel that ultrabook has durable build quality not? I want something that durable and the laptop is smooth in usage(Free of lag if can)and dont have any heating problem.sorry sifu for confusing hehe

I think you are getting it wrong here
Ultrabooks, due to its slim profile, will definitely be less durable, and also suceptible to higher heat because of the lack of space for proper heat dissipation. Prolong exposure to heat = higher risks of damage to internal components

Like what nexus sifu said, better avoid ultrabooks, since you are not moving around alot, try and get a larger notebook

I heard many peoples said macbook pro retina display not worth the price,is it true?

you pay extra RM1300 for the super clear resolution screen and an average SSD, so thats not worth. unless you are superb rich till whether you should burn the money or not.

I'm very sorry to say I dont have any money to burn  
so what is your recommendation?
