14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2049 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 6 cell

Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate *EOL-ed

Toshiba Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty; colors: Blue/gold/white

Pretty much these three.
For the Dell, extend warranty to 3 years-onsite (~RM250) and you have the best warranty service backing you up.
The Lenovo offers the most processing power though you won't be able to tell the difference based on your usage. This notebook is not easy to find/upgrade as well
Go for the Toshiba if you want 3 years (carry-in) warranty straight away.


My vote goes to Dell here, if you have the budget to extend the warranty  nod.gif

If i dont go for extended warranty then is it toshiba? just wondering why Asus K46CB-WX060H didnt make it to the list

Oh, usually 15 inchers are more powerful and cooler (because of the larger space available for heat dissipation), and not to mention the big and FHD screen will allow a lot of workspace for your engineering work icon_rolleyes.gif
But if you don't mind a smaller notebook, the Y410p is a great choice as well laugh.gif

wow,thx for d suggestion bro...
max i can go is 15",as long as it is FHD...
screen is my main concern for photo editting,if possible,i would like to have d screen quality near or same to d MBP retina display...
gaming is not necessary,as i have not played in pc games for more den 2 years adi,jz in case...
speaker i would say at least gd,not d best as i know most of d laptop can't produce very gd sound...
maybe something like beats from hp,jbl from dell is gd enuf at least...
battery time is not a big concern,as i still can use direct cord supply...

illegear laptop is very new to me...
outlook is not reali presentable to me...
i will take a deep look on it...
how is d quality? service & warranty?
*
As I said, FHD IPS with i7 quad core, only the Asus that we listed.

illegear is selling Clevo laptop (just google it and you should find out more).
As I said, you can have customised paint job for the laptop (as in lots of colour choice (like car paint), with any logo that you like)
Again, the 95% NTSC gamut screen has the best (once calibrated, most accurate) colour reproduction of any screen panel out there right now.
GPU is not just for gaming. If you do photo or video editing, more and more software are utilising GPU power.
illegear is spec with an Onkyo speakers with sub-woofer, ok among laptops.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2613184
Read through this thread for lots of info on the laptop.
You may contact Prince J right here on LYN, he is from illegear.

hi guys, need help with new laptop since my current one is faulty!

1. Preferred Brand = not Asus, I live near subang jaya and i went back and forth to lowyat 5 time already just to get my problematic laptop fixed. Any brand that has alot of service outlets or long lasting..


2. Budget = 3-4k. Better to keep it at lower range

3. Usage = Heavy gaming and multiple VMware, alot tabs of browsers

4. Preferred laptop/screen size 15.6 inch with numpad. not too heavy, but weight is not a big issue.

I'm looking for a laptop that can keep up with with the graphics of the newer games and last me hopefully the next 3-4 years at least. I'm currently using an n53sv, and it fits my slingbag just nice

We have not seen any 14" ultrabook with Haswell CPU yet in Malaysia.
If you can, wait a bit and come back after mid-Oct (when W8.1 roll out), brands will launch more models in preparation of year end holiday.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder why there isn't 14" haswell ultrabook yet. Do you think it will exceed my budget 3k when it arrived in Malaysia?

14" ultrabook should have rather wide-ranging competitive pricing, judging by historical precedents.
Btw, if you cannot wait, you can consider 13" MBA (which is a bit out of your budget):
MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 128GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3299[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 256GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3899[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

Use bootcamp to run Win OS.
