Hey I think I will be able to do most of my heavy video editing on my desktop. Now the main reason for the laptop is for photo editing. Can you suggest another or I stick with lenovo?

If it can be light then it's better

Asus, K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD

if wisely say Lenovo,
Y400,i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
else
Z400 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

hope my answer helps u

lol... why u so mad ?
just hit the report button lo

wait sept 10 see apple got release new macbook pros or not... but i doubt its only iphone will launch....

Thanks for the recommendation.
Lenovo Y400 seem good, RM 2500 can get the one with Windows 8?
How bout the price for Y410?

1. Preferred Brand: Toshiba, Lenovo
2. Budget: <3.5k
3. Usage: Normal everyday work. Entertainment. Minor picture editing. No processor-intensive processes
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13"

I'll be going for lengthy travelling soon and I want to get a light laptop but still be able to get decent work done after the travelling period. So i'm looking at ultrabook instead of netbooks or tablets.

I'm looking at the following:

Toshiba U840W-1000 : Good speakers, big HDD + SSD space, 6gb
Toshiba U940-1001X : Good value for money with graphics card, big HDD + SSD space, 4gb
Lenovo Yoga : Light, but only SSD.

I'm leaning towards either Toshiba. The money for Lenovo is about the same with MacBook Air.

Should I just opt for MacBook Air instead? Mac has too many "proprietary" accessories to take into consideration.

Y410, i kinda not sure la.. but Y400 is fits u

Alright I will buy Y400, just not sure want free DOS or with win8 because I can use the extra Rm200-300 to upgrade ram and buy some other accessories.

y410p SRP 2899, negotiable

typing experience is great for both laptops, but i love Lenovo's AccuType keyboard. i could really get used to it within seconds to type on it without looking on the keyboard.

Think your friend will appreciate a FHD screen for more work space.

4 Preferred laptop screen size : Doesn't matter.

Thanks

dah over budget la... abang

Thanks for the wise reply...
Wonder he will need nvidia 750 SLi for running 3D Max? if yes, i would recommend him
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3999[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, GN37 exGPU & ODD, 120w+170w psu, 2 yrs
but it seems over budget alrdy...

What do you think?

accessories? i guess mac have way more original / 3rd parties accessories than other else... and based on your budget and usage... i strongly suggest you take a second / third consideration of macbook air... you will never lose anything by doing so...

for example vga/hdmi/dvi port, you can buy apple one for RM99, but if you buy at ebay... its just RM15-20....

i guess si the same for others....
