Budget= 2k
Usage= gaming and uni ^^
Preferred size= 17?

All 14" consumer laptop come with HD (1366x768) screen, so definitely can see HD movies. "Picture look nice" - this is very subjective I suggest you go and look at the real things to determine yourself 

Yes, for all the models suggested, you can change HDD to SSD. Re-seller will do it for you normally. The Z400 is the most tricky one to (need to tackle 20+ screw, take out ODD, keyboard ... ), the other models is quite easy

Personally? 
I am not buying Asus in Malaysia until its warranty support service improve (it is very tiring for me to resist the temptation ). The Z400 has the most powerful spec, but it is cumbersome to maintain (e.g. clean dust) so I'm not keen.
That left the 5460 & the Envy 4. Both has nice speakers + sub-woofer (I think the HP sound slightly better). 5460 is lighter, has 2 internal fans (I like). Envy 4 has better GPU. 5460 only has 1 RAM slot (I don't like). Dell has better warranty support. Envy 4 should give better battery performance (ULV CPU), but the 5460 come with 50Whr battery (even though only 3 cell) so it won't be too bad.
I will go with Dell as I am a sucker for good warranty support

Greetings peeps,

Would need some advise, need to get a new laptop .

1. Preferred Brand : Any brand

2. Budget around 3k

3. Usage : Work/movies/ games like SC2

4. Preferred size : anything around 13 inch would do /touch screen /ultra slim /  aluminium casing

Need an ultra slim one non plastic .

I'm actually considering K46CM-i5 by Asus[I] albeit its not touch screen, but i was thinking bout chipping in around  around 1k to see whether i could get an ultra slim laptop with touch screen .

Any suggestions ?

Would really appreciate some advise .

Thanks

i checked the models that you recomended me , the Asus ultra book and the dell notebook does not have touch screen. im quite interested in the lenovo z400, but it seems quite bulky at 2.4kg...

is that ok for you?

Alright thank you very much .

Just 1 question though, does the SSD of 20 or 24 GB play a huge difference in terms of performance ?

thanks !
