good day everyone,
im looking to buy a new laptop and my budget is 4.5+-100 max.

currently looking at lenovo ideapad Y500 with sli config, MSI GE60 2OE and illegear RE 15.

still can decide for my self. any pros and cons.

which one you think is better?
*
The RE-15 is the better choice man laugh.gif especially so if you are putting in an SSD. Otherwise, the GE60 can also be considered as well~
THe GE60 and RE15 are both "true" gaming machines, can't really go wrong with them rclxms.gif

+1

I'd also go with the RE-15 (base price RM3599) and perhaps go for a 240/256GB SSD+ Original W8 OS+ bunch of other stuff. SLI on the Y500 is not optimized for every game and also there are issues with SLI generally such as micro-stuttering. Plus, I believe the cooling system on the Illegear laptop is better smile.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.

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).

the most demanding usage you listed is the video editing. Need pretty good CPU / GPU combo to make it work smoothly / quickly.

There are no 13/14" ultrabook with FHD within RM3k sad.gif

If you don't mind the smaller size, then can consider thsese:
10"
Microsoft
Surface Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + (1920x1080;touch) + 64GB SSD@RM2749[680g], 4GB, W8P
Surface Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + (1920x1080;touch) + 128GB SSD@RM3049[680g], 4GB, W8P

Otherwise you will have to stick to 1366x768, or up your budget to around RM4k nod.gif

Next month/september is still a long way to go man in the IT world, many things may change during this time nod.gif
Still, for the time being, you can keep an eye out for this one, which is the best budget gaming notebook at the moment:
14"
Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

*Price in RRP, negotiable, and who knows? THe price might depreciate after one month or two brows.gif

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
