how about this?

Dell New Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Acer E1-471-32322G50L, i3-2328M + Intel HD3000@RM1399, 2GB, 750GB, Linux

price is RSP and negotiable.

mobile phone quad core > notebook dual core?
example
Qualcomm snapdragon 600 1.9ghz > intel i7-3537U ?

ARM processor won't outperform a x86 processor at the moment. Intel atom score higher than any latest ARM on the market.

wah, you compare core i5 with mobile phone processor

I just now saw ur LYN name sounds familiar!
Now
I rmbed you!!! I bought Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 from you before! HAHA It was 2years back if not mistaken.

so Z500 cannot run photoshop ???!?!?!?
woah! this really suck! 2cores should be able to run, maybe cannot render high res img if not mistaken.
My Phenom x4 render also slow ady. Load high res img also takes time.

THanks guys!

consider this?

ASUS G55VW-S1216H, i7-3630QM +Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM3999[3.78kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
Lenovo Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 120W & 170W AC adapter
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

i cant help you to avoid numpad as 15" models are commonly come with numpad. but i can say the best pick is Acer v3, due to its newer generation graphics card and full HD IPS display for colour rich and vibrance, so you can watch movies in great pleasure.

y400 got no keypad i don't mind 14 inch =P but the thing is i don't know what's the nicer spec laptop for 14 inch

Y400 is phased out. sorry bro.

but you may look at these :

ASUS A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

ASUS A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

and

Lenovo New Z400 touch, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

looks great =) thanks

you are welcome.

with the budget left after bought the laptop, consider upgrading the RAM to 8GB (4GB stick = RM80) and extend the warranty to 3 years.

can't find review for ASUS A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8 but the Lenovo New Z400 touch, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 1TB got a bit of bad review http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/le...z400-touch.aspx

that lenovo is non graphics card equipped. but i can see the weakness is that its heavier than ultrabooks, keyboard flex, dull screen and short battery life. these cons are bearable.

the ASUS seems to be too rare.

hopefully i can find one of these two tomorrow both seems very rare lol~

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - <2.5K
3. Usage - Application (Engineering stuff), Game (Dota 2 mostly, and some free time game like FM13, Bioshock 3)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14"

Wanna ask about a model - Asus S56CM-XX276H?
-3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3517U
-Geforce GT635M
-2x4 gb ram

Is it suitable for gaming? If compared to normal i7-QM model, is it a big difference in performance?

this is the best bang of buck you can get.

Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

save the remaining budget and extend the warranty to 3 years and upgrade the RAM to 8GB.
