So i can't get a good 17" laptop for rm4k? oh no this is very bad.

Just wanna satisfy my curiosity, what is the current best laptop for video/ photo editing?

What about windows?
My desktop is windows so i thought it might be a problem if i transfer files from windows to mac or vise versa.
And license need buy for two different platform haa..

Yeah, no one is denying that man, especially in terms of the screen and also efficiency, but you do realize that the cheapest MBP 15 also starting from RM5.5k?
And the MBP 13 do not have enough GPU juice for proper editing unfortunately

I think I'll go with mac pro with retina display if I can squeeze my budget up to 7k, or else I'll just get the lenovo one and change a ssd. Ssd can put ultra bay?

Brand any
budget rm2k -rm2500
usage:mmorpg guild wars 2 etcetc,torrenting 24h,streaming vids and working

Looking for non easily heat lappy.... laat time i use acer it broke down around 1 year lols

That before i know torrent da... at that time virus attack my lappy... and some stupid lecturer introduce avira antivirus making it delete all system file...

after that kong forever... can start but cant start os

Unfortunately relatively "budget" notebooks do not have good cooling systems, especially when you are looking for a powerful one Performance, cooling efficiency and cheapness don't come together

You can either (1) top up and go for dedicated gaming machines; (2) go for a low performance machine which generates less heat; (3) try your luck with a bang-for-buck machine (+ providing regular maintenance i.e cleaning the fans and heat sink)

For (3):
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699

Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

Again, MBA (i.e. 11) starts from at least RM3k, which is out of kawaii87's budget. Please recommended appropriately, this is not your first time 

And yes, no fanboyism here, either you recommend appropriately, or go visit Apple Byte 

Please take this as a kind reminder. You have the knowledge to recommend properly, if you want, please do (you are allowed to get information on specs and models from the LYN catalog thread), we need all the help we can get 

Guys recently i have been searching for a laptop that low in weight and high in specs.
This is for both work and gaming purposes. A laptop that fulfills 2 important part of my life.
And after browsing around i found the Razer blade 14".
I am most impressed by its low weight around 1.8kg? With decent  specs in terms of processor and graphics.
Though the price tag is a bomb, but i am more worried about the laptop's heating up issue as i looking to use it almost full hours of my daily life. Any of the sifu's here can share some feedback on this laptop?

Apart from some of the drawbacks mentioned by xproc, you have to worry about warranty support in Malaysia as well. Repairs are done in Singapore.
Powerful but slim notebooks will definitely get hot, its inevitable.

Can consider these as well:
13"
Illegear Configure Illegear units here: http://www.illegear.com/
RE-13 Pro, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080 IPS)@RM4299[2kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 8GB, 500GB 7200RPM, Backlit Keyboard, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ]

14"
MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3999[1.8kg], 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8
The GPU is not as good as the ones recommended to you earlier

You do like [      and then @name  and close it

We don't have specific details on the models unfortunately, you will have to start from here:
http://www.dell.com/my/business/p/latitude-laptops

Check out the ones under "Business Basics" or "Ultrabook".
You can either check with resellers, or email Dell directly for purchase

I'm not sure why Dell has made it so difficult for normal users to purchase their business-line notebooks. Sorry about that 

Some of the Vostros are still available, being sold as consumer devices now 
But I still cannot brain why they don't wanna make their business models available online 

Hi, is this the right place to ask about tablets?

Like the Surface RT, how is it compared to other tablets and how much does it roughly cost.

I currently have access to a discounted price for a surface rt at SGD$266.

I do want a tablet but have limited budget, but the more I read about the surface, the less I think it's for me, since doing work on it isn't high in my priority list.

I don't think you should burn your dad's pockets with the MacBook 15 Retina Display man lol... earn your own money for one later on

Actually you can also go for an above-average notebook and an external monitor with good color reproductions (if your photo and video editing work is very serious) too. Still cheaper than the MBP 15 

Or just get an Illegear with the top screen upgrade, its a viable option as well
Since I am also into photo editing (not video though ), RAM > CPU > GPU. These are the main requirements (in that arrangement) for Photoshop. If I were you, I will go for an Illegear RE-15, upgrade the RAM to 16GB, opt for an SSD, warranty extension and of course, the screen upgrade.
Just my 2 cents 

So you are asking eddydo to spent RM8000 of his dad's money to buy a MBP 15 RD? I'm assuming he is still on his early stages of photo/video editing at the moment, is there really a need for a MBP15?
Not to mention that most of the programs you mentioned are super expensive, and not-that-easy to find/pirate on a Mac.

I had no problems doing photo editing with my Sandy Bridge-powered notebook (I'm using a D800 btw, so its not just some minor processing). Hell, even my sifu can do awesome products (he is professional i.e. earning from photography) with his cheap@ss Rm1.5k Toshiba lol

Like I mentioned earlier, I never denied Macs are good for photo editing, but it depends on the situation. If you can't afford it, doesn't mean one should sell his/her liver to get one because its "really good", especially so if he/she doesn't really need 100% of it.

FYI, the "gaming-spec laptop" has better specs (or same GPU for the Y510p) apart from the MBP15 Retina Display, which can be substituted by a good, even higher resolution yet cheaper monitor

If I'm rich to splash, I won't be asking here according to you.
But that means the poor can't ask for the best?
And if that's so, why am I here?

Asking for the best gadget is to know where technology actually stand these days.
Not everyday people will tell you what is good and what is bad, and not everything is on google.
Asking is a form of learning, we are here to listen to people's opinion, experience and ask questions which we don't understand.
Some people here aren't contributing any useful informations, instead I assume they are doing a good job here flaming the rich.

Everyone do wants to get the best out of something, but in this case, budget is the restriction.
Let me make this clear, I'm not rich, my parents may be but who cares.
But if it is a worthwhile investment, why not go for the best?

Why do our parents want us to get into a good school?
Want us to get good grades to get into a good college.
Why do our parents want us to get into a good college?
To graduate as someone they could be proud of.
But will you use everything taught in school after you graduated?
Knowledge do expire or should I say, outdate.
But what if you don't like studying from the start? Will you even get good grades?

And again, why get a Ferarri?
What's the purpose of all these? Nothing. I just like it.

"Buying the best gadget out there and hardly produce anything significant that has the same level of processing requirements. Better save some money as gadgets phase out so fast"

So if gadgets phase out quickly, why do people still get the latest phones?
Take S4 as example,
Are you gonna use S Beam?
Most probably not, but why is the technology there in your phone?
Or why did you even buy that phone if you aren't fully utilizing the phone's ability? More else it's the phone's signature ability.

Sometimes it ain't about fully utilizing it.

I love editing video's. But I hate waiting.
Slow rendering time, wait time longer than usage time.
People say time is money.
You can't buy time with money.
But if you can get a laptop that only have short rendering time, why not?
That's like purchasing time already.

And for a newbie I do know what am I doing.

Just wondering what generation are you from, the Y generation? Or X or Z?
Well it doesn't matter anyways.

The reason I was looking into macbook pro was:
Retina display
Light weight compare to those big ass gaming laptops
Stability
I'm gonna emphasize on this a little.
I got a teacher which is in advertising industry.
He started off his business right after he graduated and invested in WINDOWS.
After that he changed all his computers into MAC.
WHY?
Windows keeps crashing.
I'm not sure about it now but i guess MAC a safer road to go in this particular industry and it's worth the investment.

You just wasted 3 minutes and 53 seconds on this.
Oh and I'm not pointing fingers, just replying your post with my own opinion.
