Hi,

1. Preferred Brand - Any

2. Budget - RM3k and below

3. Usage - Heavy engineering software, AUTOCAD, Orion, SAFE, etc. Some gaming/blu-ray movies

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15'

5. Warranty - Good customer service/less hassle if probblem comes up *touchwood*

6. Weight - Maybe not so heavy as I will need to take around for meetings icon_rolleyes.gif

I see alot of recommendation for Lenovo Y series, is it suitable for software usage for the above mentioned?

Thanks in advance! notworthy.gif

Ya the Y500 is a good choice for your usage nod.gif
15.6"
Lenovo Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

BUt you will have to compromise in terms of weight. You can opt for the lighter and cheapre Z500 as well, but then you will have to compromise on screen resolution and CPU/GPU performance  hmm.gif
IF you are not buying in a hurry, you might want to wait and see what the Y510p has to offer when it reaches Malaysian shores  icon_rolleyes.gif

Some confusion here bro..

Lenovo website is confusing, http://shopap.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/ide...y500/#techspecs

1. screen reso only stated (1366x768)..some say got DVD drive, some say no. hmm.gif

2. does swappable ODD means we either can opt for dvd burner or 16gb SSD as per from lenovo website?

No follow latest tech..asking for my bro.. sweat.gif

Thx!

Never trust websites since they are either summarizing the specs, or outdated laugh.gif
Check with resellers for more accurate info nod.gif
The specs I've shared with you should be correct
