Hiya everyone

Am looking for advices to buy a new laptop to replace my very old Asus F81SE. Nice laptop just getting old and it's burning my hand go up to 107 C on my hardware monitor (average usage no gaming 80-95 C)

Requirements:
15.6 inch screen (not necessary Full HD)
Intel i5/i7 (preferable 3M L cache above)
Budget range around RM2,000 - RM3000.
Good cooling features
Hard disk 500GB bigger the better with 5,400rpm or higher/ SSD also not bad
At least 2x USB 3.0
Minimum 4GB RAM DDR3 or better
Proper graphic card for some gaming and editing (Preferable 2GB RAM over)
Good build quality and value for money
Warranty issues (best support international type)

Usage:
Heavy on - worksheets (like microsoft excel and word), surfing, movies and music
Moderate to light on - gaming and video/photo editing


Couldn't decide which model in my mind yet:
1) ASUS N56VB - S3070H
2) ASUS S550CB - CJ102H
3) ASUS S56CB - XX390H
4) Lenovo Y500
5) Lenovo Z500

What's the pros and cons between these laptops? I heard ASUS N56VB will warm up your palm if you push the performance like gaming. ASUS S550CB lack of performance compared to the rest and it's just 1x USB 3.0.

Many thanks for useful advices. Cheers!!!

Thanks for the quick respond

Few more questions:

1) How significant different the ASUS N56VB GT750M 4GB DDR3 vs. LENOVO Y500 GT750M 2GB DDR5 in term of performance and long lasting?

2) Any additional cons about Lenovo Y500 besides it's weight and battery life span before I get my hand on it?

3) Lastly, wonder what's the acceptable price range for these two model in Sabah area if you do not mind post here? I heard the cost could be 5-10% of the retailed price depend on individual shops selling. (else could you pm me the price list?)

Once again thank you very much!

Sorry wrongly type for GT750M should b GT740M.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the infos. Cheers!!!
