Hi Guys,

1. Preferred Brand - no preference
2. Budget - RM4K to RM6K
3. Usage - work, CAD, games
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 17 inch
5. Weight - I don't mind a heavy one but want something reliable.
6. Usage - DTR

So far, I'm considering an Asus G75VX or a Illegear RE-17 but am open to suggestions.

Thanks for advice.

1. Preferred Brand : Anything but Acer
2. Budget: about RM4000
3. Usage: Engineering simulation, gaming, presentation so not too flashy like AW or Asus G series.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15 inch
5. Warranty : min 2 years.

I'm considering the following
1. Lenovo Y500 SLI GT750M
2. Lenovo Y510p SLI GT750M
3. Illegear RE-15

Please advice or comment. Thanks.

Hi Raymond,
You are correct, the Illegear is definately nice. However, they don't have an outlet in Penang so I have to deal with them online. & Malaysian retailers are unfortunately infamous on online support. However, Illegear seems to have very few negative reports so I am thinking of getting a laptop from them. Downside is, I drool whenever I visit their website & by the time I finish customizing the laptop to what I would love to have, I'm way over budget. *sigh*.

I saw this review on the Schenker XMG A523 (Clevo W350ST) Notebook which I believe is the same model as the RE-15.

Any idea on what the bare bones Clevo model is for the RE-17?

Thanks,
