Hi sifus please recommend a good laptop by the following spec :

1. Any brand
2. Below 2k
3. Moderate gaming and surfing (Able to play latest game by low > moderate specs)
4. At least 15"

best choice
lenovo Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

Asus A55VD-SX520/521/522H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M@RM2149[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: white/blue/red

Best choice? Did you read it properly? Did you know Y500 heavy like a bomb?

Dear XeactorZ, are you drunk? GT610M for 2k? Weight 2.52kg? Can you stop trolling here? Want troll go hardware section!

Hi, please recommend a laptop for me, this laptop is pay by my boss, budget is under 6K.
-Any brand but not gaming laptop
-less than 14"
-less than 2kg
-with dedicate graphic card
-moderate gaming, surfing and graphic design

Thanks

i dont see XeactorZ is trolling. according to the price catalog made by our sifu [PF]T.J. , it is really quoted at RM2149 and weights 2.52kg. sos
XeactorZ is suggesting a non SLI version of Y500. the Y500 with single graphics card isnt too heavy. the SLI one is weighed at 2.9kg, while the non SLI is 2.5kg. and also, the person whom asking for suggestions said preferably, which means he/she can consider about the weight.

so i hope you can stop the flaming here. thank you.

i suggest not to get lightweight laptops and/or smaller laptops for gaming, as the heat dissipation is poor in these laptops. remember, heat is an enemy to your hardware so it is better to stick with consumer lines. if you still insist on, perhaps you can look at these :

Acer

prices are RRP and can be negotiated.

There will always be a refresh one, just have to wait for it since not all Haswell processor models are out yet
It all depends on whether you can wait, or not

The Asus A55Vd is 2.52kg: http://event.asus.com/my/2013/productguide...ly_Notebook.pdf
But I agree it is not the best notebook out there for the price.
@marryyap, please show some courtesy, people are not getting paid to give recommendations here

How about some good-looking ultrabooks?
14"
Dell
Vostro 5460, i3-3120M + HD 4000@RM1,549[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM1,749

RM2300 budget is quite tight to get 13" ultrabooks. perhaps, you can consider 14" one :

im not sure if they will continue a newer one with G500S or else but if you are urgent to get a laptop, you can get it before the stock is finished.
about availability, not so sure about it.

1. Preferred Brand : None
2. Budget : around 2k
3. Usage : mainly Movies, Facebook, normal gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14-15" with touch screen

Thanks!
I checked that out, it was kind of heavy for my liking, but that was SLI version la. I came across ASUS N56VB-S3070H, [i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2899[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8] too. I think this should be adequate enough. Funnily, it seemed lighter than 2.7kg. Anyone tried this Asus beauty out?

former N53 owner here, but i can conclude that N56 seems better than my previous one. my N53 is nearly 3kg at the moment, and the build material of the laptop isnt as sturdy as N56 ones.

keep in mind that ASUS products are tempting and beautiful but the warranty service is horrible.
lucky that the new owner of my ASUS N53 still has it working perfectly, even after i had go through lots of gaming session with that laptop.
