This is not a sale thread. Get suggestion here, and look for re-sellers at garage sales threads.

NO. RM3k get you peanuts in laptop land

If you want laptop that can "play any game without any issue", you need laptop with GTX680M or similar. And these kind of machine cost > RM6k.

Y400 is only 14".

Your budget will not get you any good gaming 15" laptop (unless Lenovo launch Y500 with GT750M SLI and price it ridiculously low ).

For your budget, go with Y400:
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
Use the remaining of your budget to get a SSD to swap with HDD (SSD 128G ~ RM300+/-, 256G ~ RM600+/-).

Y500 with single GT750M is priced at RM28xx. storm88 already has the stock and it comes with lenovo international warranty.

Preferred Brand: Dell, Lenovo, HP
Budget: Around 2K
Usage: Moderate work, moderate play (I'm getting use to heavy gaming and MMPORGs), heavy usage time
Screen: 14" and above
Additional Info: I used Acer before, and for only one year, it lagged up and died. So, I'm not sure I'm trusting Acer again but feel free to suggest. I'm not keen with touchscreens, so off with it. Intel Core and NVidia would be great too, if you could suggest which has better speakers. And are the price are all RRP?

It would be great if you guys can help me to narrow down the laptops that works with me so I can begin hunting it down here in Kuching. There's only two electronics and gadgets stores here that I know that have good deal in Wisma Saberkas (Sarawak Lowyat) which is PCimage and Boulevard IT, and if you're here in Kuching, do hook me up with better deals. Ah, always rambling....
