depends on user. if you want the removable battery feature, go for Z580. Z400/Z500 battery is removable when the back cover is disassembled.

lol back cover disassembled = warranty void ?

No many good spec 15" laptop like Z580 in RM2.3k price range tongue.gif
And you rule out Asus as well  hmm.gif

Maybe this then:
Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + AMD HD7730M@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
But if you are bored with A55, this is considered even more ugly laugh.gif

Have a look at this as well:
Acer
V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8
The IPS screen is nice smile.gif

actually nothings wrong with the A55, is due to I selling the asus laptop during pc fair, face them 3 days sweat.gif
yet, a lot people nearby me using it

btw that acer laptop is overprice, 2.9k LOL

Currently having dilemma in choosing these 2 laptops

Lenovo z500 & Asus S550cm

Lenovo
*i5 3210M (35watts) higher clockspeed
*nVidia gt645m
*15.6 non-touchscreen
* slightly bulkier

Asus
*i5 3317M (17watts) lower clockspeed
*nVidia gt635m
*15.6 touchscreen
*ultrabook category

Budget about Rm2500

Mostly for online and occasionally gaming

15" and above as I don't travel with it frequently.

*Will be bringing it to oversea therefore need a brand which provide best international warranty.

Mind advising..?  icon_rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
why don't get Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white ??

for that 2 laptop you mention, weight wise s550 should be lighter, but z500 don't have is non removable battery
yet just 4 cell battery
if you need touch screen go ahead get s550
FYI s550 processor is worse than the processor use on z500

lol you can't compare like that.
S550CM belongs to ultrabook, ultrabook have higher price tag, that's normal.
Seriously Vivobook ultrabook series considered one of the cheapest ultrabook you can find in market already, if you can find any ultrabook below Rm1.8k 14 inch with i5 processor using Intel HD graphics, tell me.

Your recommendation of Z580 not best bang for buck. FreeDos version RM2299 RRP is real best bang for buck cause Windows 7 Home Basic not worth RM200 for now. If not Windows 8 hater why don't buy separate licence for RM300, right?

Also, keep in mind that not everyone need a i7 processor, powerful processor dissipated more heat and its uncomfortable. Seriously I don't think i5 ULV processor is a weak processor...

I don't know you from which word said I am comparing doh.gif

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Apr 24 2013, 11:35 PM)
from what i know, XeactorZ isnt comparing. because i can see the fact that he is trying to say Z580 and Z500 have the weight and size of an ultrabook but higher performance than ultrabook.

you got it biggrin.gif

Best choice? Did you read it properly? Did you know Y500 heavy like a bomb?
Dear XeactorZ, are you drunk? GT610M for 2k? Weight 2.52kg? Can you stop trolling here? Want troll go hardware section!  mad.gif

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Jun 26 2013, 09:49 AM)
i dont see XeactorZ is trolling. according to the price catalog made by our sifu [PF]T.J. , it is really quoted at RM2149 and weights 2.52kg. sos
XeactorZ is suggesting a non SLI version of Y500. the Y500 with single graphics card isnt too heavy. the SLI one is weighed at 2.9kg, while the non SLI is 2.5kg. and also, the person whom asking for suggestions said preferably, which means he/she can consider about the weight.

so i hope you can stop the flaming here. thank you. smile.gif
*
he / she the person drunk doh.gif
for the budget, what your can expect for the spec ?
yet, if you can find a better laptop at that price just go ahead suggest, don't just spam here

*and just ignore him, see what his / her post before
last this is something funny, post my post in s3 thread in kopitiam doh.gif
obviously hate me laugh.gif
just a forum boss ...
