(1) If you are not into photo editing, rendering, tedious photoshop tasks. The i5 will do, regardless of its generation. It saves more power too

(2) The "ultrabay" concept was pretty popular in Business line notebooks i.e. Fujitsu during the earlier days. But implementing it in gaming notebooks brought about a different level of versatility. You don't just put in a 2nd GPU, you can put in other stuffs like a fan, optical drive etc. The GT750M SLI will perform better in games (that are optimized for SLI) as compared to the GT60

(3) MSI is not really popular until very recently, gaining momentum along with Illegear, whereas the main gaming brands starts to "shine less"

If I were you, I would go for the MSI, specs ain't everything, and if you really like the keyboard, that's one more reason for you to go for it

Ok!! im convinced now, say hello to GT 60~ ( and good bye to my savings... )

TQ again for da advice.

Grats in advance on your purchase mate

Hi again (:
Now I'm thinking of getting a new laptop, since my old one is already two years old (lol does it even relevant?)

1. Preferred Brand - None, cause I prefer reliability rather than brands.
2. Budget - The cheaper the better
3. Usage - Most probably for gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15 inch

So I've done some research, I've narrowed down to Illegear RE-15 and Lenovo Y500.

Which is the better model? Then there's this 2 things bothered me.
1. Lenovo's status as a brand is already gone global while Illegear is just up and running
2. Heard Lenovo's after service sucks here.

Any other points that I missed out?
And is there any other models that you guys can recommend me?

go for Lenovo G500s coz i'm getting at this weekend.
the price is around 1.7k

Intel® Core™ i5-3230M Processor

- 2.6GHz, 3M Cache

- Max Turbo Frequency 3.2 GHz

RAM 4GB DDR3

HDD 500GB HDD

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT720M 2GB

15.6" HD Display ( 16:9 ) Wide Screen

hi.. juz wanna ask, how good de nstc gamut screen? coz i wanna opt for it IF decided to buy illegear.. wat laptop dat got nstc gamut screen?wanna c it live

Beats me man
Most notebooks don't have that listed out in their spec-sheet.
Your best bet is to go and visit the Illegear shop (at Kepong iinm) and see whether they have real units for you to compare.
Please do PM Prince J for more details ya, I'm sure he will be able to fill u in
