finally, version 19 thread.

keep up the good work too, sifu TJ.

you are welcome.

just i free at the moment before getting hired, so i have tons of time doing this.

the ASUS K46CM will be better pick. by the way, why do you need a touchpad with gesture control? i dont see the popularity in gesture control.

Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM2599[2.29kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
ASUS A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

the best pick is lenovo z580, then buy another 4gb stick RAM = RM80 and upgrade yourself. getting total 8GB from seller is not a good choice as it is more expensive.

EDIT : some models suggested by sifu TJ.

suggest this :

Dell New Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
ASUS A55VD-SX471/472/473, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1599[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/red/white
Dell New Inspiron 15, i3-2117U + Intel HD4000@RM1299[2.25kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

price is RSP and negotiable.

the ASUS K46CM will be better pick. by the way, why do you need a touchpad with gesture control? i dont see the popularity in gesture control.

processor doesnt utilize the RAM but your version of windows do. if you want support more than 3.25GB, get 64-bit version. and yes, core i5 3317U uses intel HD4000

this is best for bang of buck

Lenovo New Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

this is best for warranty support

Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT730M + (1366x768;touch)@RM2099[2.33kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8@RM2399

save the money and upgrade the RAM to 8GB and warranty extension.

yeah, i finished NS camp training. im getting a full time job.

not selecting a course to study. i find myself not able to study after SPM, so its better not to waste the money on college studies. so i prefer work.

@[P.F.]TJ since im free at the moment, mind to help you?

there are some lenovo sellers that can deliver it to you at the garage sales section. you can have a look. also, IMO, i will prefer the new 15R due to ULV CPU and newer generation graphics card.

thanks. and dont worry. i would make it as simple as possible, so it wont confuse our forumers.

EDIT : this thread is not pinned, shall contact the mods to pin it.

some suggestions for you

Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional, W8
Lenovo Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white

price is RSP and negotiable. as the best pick, stick with acer v3. it has the power of a powerful quad core CPU and decent graphics card capable for gaming and a full HD IPS display for sharp colour and vibrant.

this may help

ASUS N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black
Illegear RE-15, i5-3210M + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080)@RM3299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3840XM][/color]
Lenovo Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 120W & 170W AC adapter

illegear offers customizable CPU.
price is RSP and negotiable.

the latest and best is GT740M but the performance can be on par with GT650M maybe. GT750M maybe will be released around May-July. i think you may like this:

Lenovo Z400 touch, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

you are welcome.

yeah, you can max the RAM but not SSD. 512GB SSD = RM1000++.

but maybe you can consider about 256GB SSD, maybe total upgrade costs around RM700.

some hybrids and ultrabooks for you.

ASUS Taichi, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD@RM3999[1.25kg][Bang & Olufsen], 4GB, dual IPS screens
Dell [Ultrabook] XPS12, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080;touch)@RM3999[1.54kg], 8GB, W8, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, build-in battery, no ODD
Sony Vaio Duo SVD11215CVB, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + (1920x1080; touch) + 128GB SSD@RM3999[1.31kg], 4GB, W8, stylus
Lenovo [Ultrabook]IdeaPad Yoga 13, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399, 4GB, 2 years; colors: grey/orange

if you damaged the parts, it will void warranty. if you are doing it correctly and taken safe steps, it wont void.

multimedia usage, photoshop, adobe illustrator, autoCAD those.

how about this?

Dell New Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Acer E1-471-32322G50L, i3-2328M + Intel HD3000@RM1399, 2GB, 750GB, Linux

price is RSP and negotiable.

no no. you asked for Y500 usage other than gaming, so i listed out all the works can be done using Y500.

consider this?

ASUS G55VW-S1216H, i7-3630QM +Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM3999[3.78kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
Lenovo Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 120W & 170W AC adapter
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

i cant help you to avoid numpad as 15" models are commonly come with numpad. but i can say the best pick is Acer v3, due to its newer generation graphics card and full HD IPS display for colour rich and vibrance, so you can watch movies in great pleasure.
