Hi all, it's me again 

Looking for laptop with below specs:
1. Preferred Brand: Open to all recommendations
2. Budget: around RM3k
3. Usage: Movies, torrenting, net surfing and a lot of gaming (probably Dota2, Crysis1-3, blackops 2, etc)
4. Preferred laptop: Durable, must feel solid, no flimsy areas or LCD hinges like on some Acer and Dell models. i7 3rd gen, GT 700 series
5: Screen Size: 14" or 15.6"

I think I need a laptop for my daily gaming use. I have been used to desktops so I'm quite particular in CPU power / speed. Graphics wise, I would say I'd go for medium graphics on native resolution. (should not demand too much on my tight budget)
I've been following this thread for a while, and have set my eyes on the following:

ASUS S46CB 14 inch - http://sg.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobi...#specifications
Not quite sure about this cos it uses ULV processor, but the graphics is good. (GT 740M) Around RM 2500 ?

Lenovo Y400 14 inch - i7 QM + GT750m. Around RM2799
this definitely suit my needs but did some research and found that Lenovo Y400/Y500 QC seems to be inconsistent. Although this model is very very popular right now, I see that people do face some problems with drivers, touchpad, and wifi issues (disconnections). as I am using company Lenovo business laptop as well, I do have this issue too. seems to plague a lot of Lenovo models? if anybody here using this model, do you mind to share your experience? I would appreciate that.

Acer V3 15.6 inch -  i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M + (1920x1080 IPS). around RM 2899
Acer not a fan of Acer, but if the build quality is solid, can consider. GT 730M is not strong for the screen (1080p), or maybe it's me

Would need some help in deciding or some recommendations and Thanks for the feedback guys! 

Perhaps this ?
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT645M @RM2299, 4GB, 1TB, W8; backlit, 2 years warranty (4-cell)

When you see "U" aka ULV processor, the performance is a step down from M series. i3 U = Pentium M, i5 U = i3 M, vice versa. 

Not many models with GT7xxM get released yet.
For your budget, you want "no flimsy areas or LCD hinges"? Nada (can only find this is Dell Latitude 6 / Precision, Lenovo Thinkpad T/W, HP Elitebook. Totally cannot flex the laptop anywhere, and have very solid hinges.)
Crysis 3 at native resolution? If you go for laptop with FHD screen (1920x1080), you will need GT750M or better to play at low pre-set details level.
If you use Lenovo business laptop (Thinkpad T series?) and has issues, you (or your IT) should contact Lenovo support immediately and get it sorted out. Your company is paying a bomb to get Lenovo warranty support for business laptop

Anyway, for your budget and your usage requirement, your best bet is the Lenovo Y series. Anything else is either too under-powered or too expensive for you.
Since you are coming from desktop environment, you may need to get used to how expensive gaming on laptop really is

Thanks for the tip! This spec is much better!

Found a seller --> Lenovo Z500

Okay?

If you think the seller is reputable and the price is reasonable for you, why not? 

Hye is there new model for y580.. somebody told me a new y580 with gt750 coming this month.. the gpu on par with gtx660 right?

Hi! Would appreciate a lot if you guys could give me some recommendation for laptops.

1. Open to most brands.
2. RM3k - RM3.5k
3. I'm a multimedia designer. So heavy usage on website design, video editing & graphic design programmes. Programmes such as After effect, premiere pro, photoshop & etc..
4. Preferred specs are i7 processor, 8gb ram (or more), 1080p resolution screen size & 15.6" screen size laptop.

Thank for your time!

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : RM 2.5k
3. Usage : looking for a light laptop for mainly on-the-go video editing (Sony Vegas)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14-inch

I saw the new Dell Vostro 5460 (only 1.54kg) with the following specs:
Intel i5-3230M
Nvidia GT630M 2GB DDR3
4GB RAM (should be upgrade-able to 8GB)

Appreciate if any sifu(s) here can feedback if the specs above can run Sony Vegas comfortably for HD Video editing?
Mostly simple edits at 1080p and occasionally 2.7k...not much transitions/effects...

Thanks in advance!

no more Y580.
Y500 / Y400 now
GT750M GDDR5 is 10-15% better than GTX660M according to benchmarks

the new Vostro 5460 is a very interesting machine.
Only has 1 RAM slot. If you want 8G RAM, you need to swap out the 4G RAM stick.
Has 2 system fans, dissipate heat pretty well for such slim body 
Has a sub-woofer
But a glossy screen (major disappointment for me personally )

For Sony Vegas, the more powerful the CPU & GPU, the better
but an i5 M (don't go for the i5 ULV if you opt for Vostro 5460), and GT630M could get the job done.

Other alternative (not necessarily better)
