Quite a big task you have in mind, TJ
Don't think I will have the time to properly write this type of piece (with work and children commitment ... )
Sometime when things go reaaaaally slow in the office, I have lots of free time to contribute to this thread, but sometime I only have time to check on this thread after all the children go to bed  .Not consistent. Weekly visit to LYP every Friday also cut short a bit now

Instead of writing, why don't we consider some point form thingy?  Sifus and other forumers can nominate a few candidate models (or we could even vote on it). Instead of "of the months", we can make it a "reigning champions lists". Setup a few categories (gaming, business, multimedia, photoshop / CAD, travelling ... let's spend time thinking through what is appropriate, like those "most frequently asked"), and a few budget range, then stuck a few top models (1-5 models, don't need to be rigid) for each section (with a few points to support it, and things to look out for when buying). So the models will stay on the list, until something newer or better come along to knock it off the "throne" (with justification ...).

May also cut down the requirement for recommendation  (sometime things do get a bit repetitive   )

What do sifus think?

not selecting a course to study. i find myself not able to study after SPM, so its better not to waste the money on college studies. so i prefer work.

@[P.F.]TJ since im free at the moment, mind to help you?

thanks. and dont worry. i would make it as simple as possible, so it wont confuse our forumers.

EDIT : this thread is not pinned, shall contact the mods to pin it.

This thread is my life saver! Please help me again! Previously already asked for recommendation about 1month ago but till now haven't buy yet, cause previously not so urgent on lappy. Now I'm urgent!
After I survey... Low price with good spec. I chose Lenovo, but between Lenovo I still have questions.

Y500 vs Z500!
Y500 i7 4GB 500GB 650M x2 6CELL w/o SLi (Can upgrade next time) Rm3099 (w/ SLi Rm3480)
Z500 i5 4GB 1TB 645M 4CELL RM2169
Budget Rm2700

I'm a student studying software engineering.
Which one should I get ?
I'm playing DoTA 2, and I hate lags!

What I scare is price like Rm2169 for the Z500 laptop, i scare even Mircrosoft Office also lag.

If i top up Rm400 i can get y500 which is a beast! and maybe 1 or 2 year later I can upgrade SLi if needed.
Example: maybe i might get interest with CUDA and play CUDA programming LOL

Or i save Rm500+ get Z500 average laptop ? and 2years later maybe buy another one ??
Cause ppl told me technology can change very fast. now 650SLi can be very strong.
You won't know after 2years maybe TITAN V20 also come out already.
But my uncle told me to get 6CELL laptop.

THIS IS SO CONFUSED!!
Which is worth ?

Thanks! You're the life saver!
So what i get is Z500 upgrade max ram and max SSD will do ?
So total up almost reaching Rm2700 already ?
HAHA! Good idea!     

in order to remove /add on / replace lenovo z400 hardisk / ram , u need at least step below
For access, remove these FRUs in order:
••“1010 Keyboard” on page 33
••“1020 Optical drive” on page 36
••“1030 Base cover” on page 39
••“1040 Battery pack” on page 44

as its design to be ultrabook

Lenovo doesnt provide upgrade SSD. So we need to upgrade outside ourself ?
Same as Ram. upgrade ourself or take lenovo's upgrade. If upgrade ourself will void warranty?

Thanks! I have an IT friend, he owns a PC shop. very convenience!
Now another problem came, just found out Z500 running Dual Core! This is sucks!
It's 2013 and dual core is like super outdated! Arggghhh!

Should I go for Y500 ? Confused again
   

greet to all pro adviser,I should wait for the Y500 GT750M or just buy the Y500 GT650M? Basically how does the performance difference and how long it takes to  be available at Malaysia?

Thanks to sifu [PF]T.J,nexus and the others Tomorrow I going to placed an order for the dell inspiron 15R special edition    I appreciate you guys opinion.

Anyway,should I upgrade the 32GB caching SSD to SSD that has higher capacity? I mean after I bought the laptop.I plan to buy Crucial or Intel ssd as I save my money from buying the Y500

I plan to get the cooler master U3 as well,is it a good choice?

Thanks for the information
I plan to get a ssd of capacity 128GB.so should I replace the 1TB hdd or the 32GB mSATA? 

I would grab it by tomorrow if can,wondering how long does dell's delivery takes  Excited to experience the new laptop
