Hi all,
I'm looking for a recommendation

1. Preferred Brand -Any established brands
2. Budget - RM2000
3. Usage - Surfing web, normal work, light gaming (dota2)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15? but I know my budget is tight, so 14 is sufficient
5. Extra- runs smoothly, not known to be prone to much problems. Not really a requirement, looks will affect my decision.

By the way, i have a couple of questions, like what's the difference between AMD or Nvidia graphics? And How much more superior is i5 to i3 or other kind of processors?

Thanks!

wanna ask again.
brand- asus/lenovo
budget-1.8k-2.5k
spec-i5, 4gb ram, 14/15'' screen, decent battery life.

Well, a RM2k budget can get you a few 15" notebooks

AMD is not really up to Nvidia's level at the moment, focusing more on budget notebooks only. i5 is basically i3 with turboboost, they don't really make a very huge performance differences for normal usage

looking for good quality 15" laptop with 16:10 IPS screen aspect ratio, something like macbook pro but windows based, got good recommendation?

Thanks, I'm liking your recommendations especially the toshiba ones.

If the game that I'm playing is mostly Dota 2, will AMD be sufficient?

1. Preferred Brand=HP or dell or any other good brands
2. Budget=rm3k
3. Usage=video editing, photoshop, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size=14"

Hi guys, can I ask will there be any prob if I buy the Y500 with GT750x2? Coz one of the shop 5old me that there were some probs as few days later the game started to hang

hi guy, need your help , i look for
Laptop

15" "
i5 or i7
gaming - dota2
slim and portable

< 2k

thanks

Yeah, sure thing, Dota2 is not exactly very demanding

Can consider these:
14"
Asus A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2999[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

HP Pavilion G4-2111TX, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2499[2.19kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP

Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

Samsung NP500P4C, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM2999, 4GB, 500GB, W7HB

Toshiba Satellite M840-1034XG/XP/XQ, i7-3620QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2699, 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:gold/pink/blue

The Y410p is the newest in terms of technology, and the best in terms of performance
Prices in RRP, negotiable~

Whether it lasts or not depends on how you take care of the notebook and also a little bit of luck

1. Preferred Brand - Asus or Toshiba.
2. Budget - 1.5k to 2.2k
3. Usage - Online Streaming, normal video, music editing and work ~

The y410 looks intresting but it doesnt have a graphic card.will this effect the graphic quality since graphic is very important in editing

What do you mean?
It has the best dedicated Nvidia GPU among the lot man

I think you are referring to the Y500, which is not as bad as most people say haha, not for the price
Pretty much the ones you mentioned, can wait to see whether there are any promotions for Raya XD

Can consider this one as well:
15.6"
MSI GE60-ONC, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX675M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3299, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard

As for the Toshiba:
Toshiba Satellite P50t-A102X, i7-3547U + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768; touch)@RM3899[harman/kardon], 8GB, 1TB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty (1st year on-site); color: silver

* Gaming depends more on GPU rather than CPU
