"not easy to clean" mean should you ever need to clean the dust off the fan and heat sink area of the Z400, it is not easy to get access to those area  sweat.gif  Same thing if you want to increase RAM or change HDD.

On paper, the GT740M in Z400 is slightly better than the GT645M in A45VS. But personally, I don't think gaming on Z400 is a good idea tongue.gif

Asus Malaysia, however, has iffy reputation in terms of warranty support service.

thanks for ur suggestion though im still dont know which to choose shakehead.gif

What if i up my budget from 2.2k to 2.4k,

and one more question, what about lenovo z580?

Next step up that is worth your while is this Lenovo:
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD
But it is being phased out and a more powerful spec will be introduced (with GT750M, iinm) shortly.

Depend on what type of games you play, the A45VS, 14R SE, Z480 could handle lots of game in 1366x768 resolution.

Negotiate kuat-kuat. For Dell, extend warranty to 3 years (~ RM250). Get a SSD (128G ~ RM300++) smile.gif

Ideapad Z580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white
No reason to go for 15" if you still get HD resolution smile.gif Z480 & Z580 more or less has the same GPU, and you don't need to spend money on i7 smile.gif

ok, thanks again for ur advice

i will negotiate kuat-kuat till the person sweat like hell whistling.gif
