1. Brand - Dell,Lenovo,Acer or reliable brand
2. Budget - below RM4,200
3. Usage - general usage,not on gaming site
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15" and above will do
5. Others - good battery life,full hd
*
Can consider these as well:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black

Dell Inspiron 15R, i7-3537U + AMD HD8730M + (1920x1980; anti-glare)@RM3299[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

The 2nd pick should be the best if you are looking for a FullHD notebook with good battery life nod.gif
Use remaining budget for warranty extension nod.gif

if you are more concerned about the screen quality, then the Acer recommended by raymond sifu is an excellent choice icon_rolleyes.gif

1. Brand - Any brand
2. Budget - below RM3k
3. Usage - gaming, portable, compact
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" and above smile.gif
5. Others - looking for best ultrabook for gaming or any laptop that are light
*
Ultrabooks are not really meant for gaming laugh.gif
Still, can consider these:
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

HP [Ultrabook] Envy4-1204TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M + 32GB mSATA +500GB(5400rpm)@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, W8

Otherwise can consider a relatively slimmer notebook:
14"
Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

my friend need recomendation on laptop:

1. Preferred Brand = any except ASUS and MSI
2. Budget = below 3k
3. Usage = work, surfe net, movie, stream video
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 15"

dun wan win 8 if can

Please recomend cos he wanna try hunting on ICT KLCC there.

Most current notebooks are powered by W8 nowadays, hard to avoid nod.gif
Since you don't game or do anything very intensive, can consider these:
15.6"
Dell
Inspiron 15R, i5-3337U + AMD HD7670M@RM1999[2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8SL
Inspiron 15R, i7-3537U + AMD HD8730M@RM2949[2.32kg], 6GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL
Inspiron 15R, i7-3537U + AMD HD8730M + (1920x1980; anti-glare)@RM3299[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL

With its ULV processor, coupled with a normal capacity battery, the battery life of these machines will be much better than average nod.gif
Prices in RRP, negotiable. If you are good enough, you should be able to get option (3) for less than RM3k brows.gif pretty worth it considering it has FullHD, superb for movies~

Can consider this one as well, the IPS FullHD screen is a must-not-miss brows.gif
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

3. Usage = drafter/using autocad
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = any or bigger

Personally I think this Dell would be your best pick:
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

Price in RRP, negotiable. Shouldn't be too hard to get one for around RM2.8k if you bargain nod.gif
Use remaining budget for warranty extension to 3 years on-site for peace of mind brows.gif

Not recommending HP or Lenovo as there are no FullHD (useful for your work) notebooks within your budget range.

Hi, I need some recommendation for laptop

1. Preferred Brand = anything
2. Budget = around 3.3k to 2.5k
3. Usage = multimedia stuff, editing, possibly 1TB storage but light, higher RAM
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = medium or bigger

Assuming you are editing photos and videos, can consider these:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8


Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

Prices in RRP, negotiable.
use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years nod.gif
Then later on when you have the money, upgrade the HDD to SSD, that will cut off some weight and also reduce heat and damage proneness (storage media)

i'm looking at sony s series / toshiba u series laptop. any recommend can you guys give?

Light? Recommending ultrabooks haha laugh.gif
but do take note that ultrabooks are not really designed for gaming, so they will get hot when gaming, and the performance would be weaker as well nod.gif

Hi again, just wanted to ask about the SSD upgrade.I went to get the laptop today and he told me the upgrade would void the warranty. Im also confused now as the laptop seller guy showed me an acer v3-571G @ 2999 he said it was cheaper and had better specs than the Y500. Can i also know how much the SSD costs? One seller told me it was 800~1000 and the other said it was 400~500. Please help. Super confused now.

Upgrading the HDD to SSD will not void the warranty, as long as you don't damage other parts while doing it..
Never trust sellers laugh.gif

An 128GB SSD costs around RM400-500 whereas a 256GB SSD costs around RM800-1000 icon_rolleyes.gif

Yeah, most notebooks do not come with Microsoft Office (at least not the full version) when purchased... so you will have to get it separately nod.gif
