The Lenovo Y500 would be the best pick for your requirements, though the battery life is slightly lower than an average 15 incher's
15.6"
Lenovo Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 120W & 170W AC adapter

*use remaining budget for RAM upgrade to 8GB, HDD upgrade to 256GB SSD; warranty extension to 3 years, and you will have a mean monster  laugh.gif

Oh thanks for suggestion, all this time ive been looking at the lenovo thinkpad, not the ideapad lol. Is the ideapad better? The Asus G series look pretty powerful too but is it pricey?

Hi again, just wanted to ask about the SSD upgrade.I went to get the laptop today and he told me the upgrade would void the warranty. Im also confused now as the laptop seller guy showed me an acer v3-571G @ 2999 he said it was cheaper and had better specs than the Y500. Can i also know how much the SSD costs? One seller told me it was 800~1000 and the other said it was 400~500. Please help. Super confused now.

Upgrading the HDD to SSD will not void the warranty, as long as you don't damage other parts while doing it..
Never trust sellers laugh.gif

An 128GB SSD costs around RM400-500 whereas a 256GB SSD costs around RM800-1000  icon_rolleyes.gif

So, does that mean i must upgrade the SSD myself, because they said if they do it = gone warranty rclxub.gif

it was definitely the seller trying to make you worry. SSD warranty and laptop warranty walk their own way. unless upon installing the SSD by inexperienced technician (or yourself) and made damages to the laptop, then the warranty will only be voided.

Okay then, thanks bro
