1. Preferred Brand : Asus, Lenovo, Acer, Dell, HP
2. Budget : 2.3k, off course as cheap as possible and willing to top up if really worth it
3. Usage : Surf internet, play offline FPS like crysis and online game
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14 and 15.6 inch

in my mind I can't decide this 2
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white

does the processor and graphic card a lot difference ??
how about similar spec with similar price ? best is 15.6 inch >.<

yet I don't need the OS since I am studying IT, I can download windows 7 and 8 pro from msdn website, is legal with CD key

Go with the Y400 for your budget. It's the best bang for buck at that price range. The GT750M at 1366x768 (HD) resolution mean you could play Crysis at high details.

No 15" at your budget come close smile.gif

but I prefer 15.6 inch LOL

yet, does the processor and graphic card in Y400 and Z580 got huge difference ?

If 14" and 15" both at HD resolution (1366x768), the image is the same. Why waste money on a larger laptop? biggrin.gif

The GT750M is ~ 20% better than the GT640M in the Z580.

yes resolution is same
but where got waste money on larger laptop ?
is wasting money on smaller laptop whistling.gif

z580 is cheaper, y400 is more expensive than z580 than RM 200
Z580 : RM 2299, i7 no dos
Y400 : RM 2499, better processor and GPU than z580, also no dos but screen is smaller @@

headache, hard to decide
reason why I want 15.6 inch laptop is because it got keypad at right hand site
easier for me to type number smile.gif

don't have other laptop around this spec and around 2.3-2.5k ?

Think about it smile.gif
The CPU and GPU in laptop are something that you could NOT upgrade.
The dedicated keypad could be substituted by an off-the-shelf Logitech wireless numpad for ~ RM80.
Where should you spend your money on? biggrin.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

To your last question, no  laugh.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif
