Appreciate the suggestions. I've gone through some of the Lenovos models and they are pretty amazing (in terms of specs:price ratio) especially the Z500 & Y400 models. But do they heat up badly? Do I have to worry about their temperatures?

for Y400, you dont have to worry much about the temperatures, as the thickness of the laptop itself helps the ventilation. however, the Z500 is an exception. it is not suitable for long hours gaming, as the thinness traps heat easily.

Thanks this is really helpful. I am "almost" made up my mind to buy the Y400 W8 one. Hehe. Still looking for other options though.

No laptop models in Malaysia satisfy your criteria, iinm

edit:
I stand corrected
if you could still find this in stock:
Fujitsu
LH772, i7-3612QM + nVidia GT640LE@RM3369 [ONKYO], W7HP, color: Black/White/Pink NumPad

Price is RSP, negotiable.

Whats means by free dos? I new on these stuffs

FreeDOS means no operating system. No Windows. you'll have to install it yourself

No Operating System e.g. Windows 7/8.
You need to install your own copy.

is this consider white ?







but price slightly over 3k

yes, just install whatever OS u like, with i7 and gt750m gc, overkill gaming

1. Preferred Brand > Apple. other brand is acceptable
2. Budget > RM 4000 or less
3. Usage > light gaming. more to Office use and study. windows / Mac OS also can.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size > 13' is prefferable i guess. lightweight.

i'll buy it for my further study. so i'll prefer a lightweight laptop / ultrabooks. i'm looking for MBA 13'. but need another option. pls suggest some ultrabook with budget less than RM 400. Thankss

hey guys..
1. Preferred Brand - any good brand

3. Usage - 3D graphics

----------------

if you like normal consumer laptop , can consider

1)　
G750JX-T4059H
-17.3"/I7-4700/8G/1TB/Geforce GTX770M/6X BLU-RAY/W8/BAG

but i want a lightweight laptop. although its already lightweight (1.76 kg), i want less than that.

Professional usage (ie, using this laptop to make a living ) ?
You may still find light weight (< 2kg) in 14", but anything 15 / 17" is most probably > 3kg (excluding power adapter etc).

The obvious will be these:
Apple
MacBookPro 15", i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1440x900)@RM5499[2.56kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 15", i7-3720QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1440x900)@RM6799[2.56kg], 8GB, 750GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 15" (Retina Display), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + 256GB SSD + (2880x1800)@RM6799[2.02kg], 8GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

Other than the models that devour sifu mentioned, you may also want to consider these:

www.illegear.com
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ][/color]
Illegear RS-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX770M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM5499[Onkyo][3.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4930MX][GPU options: Nvidia GTX780M, AMD HD8970M]

Don't be put off by the gamers-centric theme of the company / website.
The laptops that they sell are totally customisable.
You will get the latest Haswell CPU. i7 is good for your usage. Those Nvidia GTX7xxM GPU is good for you as well. You can opt for the 95% NTSC gamut matte screen (and illegear throw in free professional colour calibration from time to time, especially promotion during festive season, the Hari Raya one should be coming ). Put in a high capacity SSD (512GB), OS (W8 or W7), it should still be within your budget. And if you are in Klang Valley or certain cities, they offer on-site warranty service (extend to 3 years if you still have the budget).

You may PM Prince J right here in LYN (he is from illegear).

Hey man haha, nice to see you here

Well, if you don't game (assuming your light gaming = FB games etc.), then there are a lot of choices:

* Prices in RRP, negotiable
* the Toshiba Z930 is the lightest among the lot, but the keyboard buttons are really shallow, might be painful after prolong usage.
* My vote will be on the Dell XPS 13 since it is voted as one of the best ultrabooks out there. Use remaining budget for warranty extension to 3 years complete cover. You can expect quality as good as Apple's.
If you want a FullHD variant of the XPS13 , can consider this too:

*shouldn't be a problem to get one within RM4k, but you won't have any money left for warranty extension

Light does not mean good

Anyway, MBA is approximately 1.35kg.
