You mean this?
GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard
vs
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ][/color]

GE60 - lighter, thinner, worse heat profile, backlit keyboard, better speakers (in my humble opinion)
RE-15 - customisable (case colour, screen panel, .... )

Performance wise, should not see much difference.

I'm currently on tight budget to buy a new laptop.
Currently Asus A550CC-XX309 is on my backup list in case the model I want (i5-3230M+GT 635M 2GB) is out of stock.
A550CC-XX309 comes with i3-3217U and GT 720M 2GB.

Is this combination strong enough to run Photoshop smoothly?
How about games like L4D2 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas in high settings?

why 15"?
Asus A series give lousy spec for their price
How much is your budget?

Photoshop need CPU power. Depend on how extensive a job that you are doing, and how large is the file size.
With that spec, forget about high setting Low setting if you want playable fps.

Need recommendation thank you.

Intel HD4000 could handle CS in medium setting (HD resolution).
Multi-task need more RAM (8G or more). But some 13" ultrabook models don't have spare RAM slots to upgrade.
Don't game long hours with these ultrabook without good external cooling solution

Only 1 RAM slot, so you need to get a 8G stick (~ RM200) to replace the 4G stick. Then buy a SATA SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600) to swap out the HDD (both aftermarket upgrade will not void hardware warranty). Then extend warranty to 3 years with Accidental Coverage. Should still be within your budget.

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

edit:
Price of 8G RAM stick.

Anything to recommend for

thanks

The on-board speakers are ok, but if you plug in external speakers should be fine.
Screen? Don't worry man. Opt for the 95% NTSC gamut screen, calibrate it. Best screen you will ever find for gaming laptop

Apple
