Nope it is not possible to get a bigger screen and weight at that price unfortunately hmm.gif
Battery life is an approximate 3 hours or so for the Asus (due to small battery capacity), and perhaps up to 4-5 hours on the Lenovo E130 and Yoga 11s.

The P3 is reported to be 0.79kg in weight, though I think it is only referring to the tablet, regardless it is a pretty good choice there too, with SSD some more. Sorry for missing out on that one sweat.gif

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - Can spend anywhere from RM4000 to RM6000+
3. Usage - browsing the net, not-so-heavy programming, some games
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15''

I am slightly unsure about which budget to tend to this time, as I have always been buying the best hardware I can afford, but not utilizing it fully.

I haven't been playing games for almost a year now, but now I feel the urge of doing so tongue.gif. Games like dota 2, COD, hitman etc

Currently looking at RE-15, RS-15 (8970m) and Lenovo y510.

It is also nice to have a longer battery life if possible, but weight is not much of an issue.

Err... apart from the Fujistu LH772, almost all 14" notebooks don't have numpad. You are going to have to consider 15" or larger notebooks if you strictly want a numpad.
Also, mind sharing your definition of "work"? Office work or professional work i.e. rendering/ photoshop etc.?  icon_rolleyes.gif

oh, i see.. its oke then.. 15' laptop will need more budget, yes?.. hehe
the 'work' i mentioned would be just office work..

any recommendation based on my budget?

thank you smile.gif

Of the games you mentioned, only Hitman is slightly GPU demanding. Dota2 and COD will not test the power of gaming laptops smile.gif

Anyway, you have very good budget.
For you, maybe avoid Lenovo Y series for now, its wireless card / antenna seems to give lots of users headache hmm.gif

Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ][/color]

Opt for the nice matte screen, go SSD, increase RAM, get the Killer card. Should be good to go smile.gif

haha, if you really have budget that much, you can go for Illegear RS-15 or RE-15. every gamer needs a very good customizable system yo. laugh.gif
FYI, battery life on RS-15 is up to 3 hours and 10 minutes about.

very tight budget for laptop smile.gif
Most probably could only get Intel Celeron / Pentium or AMD E series CPU hmm.gif
But those should handle MS Office nicely, as long the spreadsheet / word doc is not extremely big.
If possible, try to get at least 4G RAM (negotiate with reseller to see if you could get free upgrade), then it will not feel too sluggish when many windows / apps / tabs are opened.

Dell
Inspiron 14-3421, 1007U + Intel HD@RM999[1.99kg], Linux, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1099
Inspiron 14-3421, B997 + Intel HD@RM1199[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell

Lenovo
G480, B830 + Intel HD3000@RM999, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS; W8@RM1199
G480, B980 + Intel HD@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, W8

Prices are RSP, still negotiable a bit. If you buy Dell from Dell Online, can still negotiate by chatting online.

You don't need a "good" GPU to play PES, it is not very GPU demanding smile.gif
i7 - If you are only using it for gaming PES, don't see why you ever need i7 quad core smile.gif Anyway, i7 is expensive, and will take out a big chunk of your budget. So only get it if you absolutely need it. Btw, i7 ULV is only duo core.
8G RAM - you could upgrade after market with reseller, normally will not void hardware warranty. 4G stick ~ RM100, 8G stick ~ RM190+.
1TB HDD - If a particular model only come with 500G / 750G HDD, just talk to re-sellers to see if possible to trade in / swap for bigger capacity HDD. Price difference is so minimal now for HDD (< RM50).

Asus
A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2999[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8
A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Also suggest you look at this:
Lenovo

Go for the illegear if you have budget. Better build quality & more upgrade options available. smile.gif. Or better yet, consider getting a RE-17 instead of a RE15 as the price difference is only about Rm2000 for a bigger screen.

No 15" from Asus within your budget is worthy for "gaming". So that left you with:

Lenovo
Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty
Ideapad Z580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white (slightly older model, some resellers are clearing stock selling below RM2k)
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
