Your cousin will appreciate the dedicated numpad in the 15".
Inspiron 15, i3-3217U + HD4000@RM1299, 4GB, 500GB, Linux; W8SL@RM1449

If she think 15" is too heavy and go with 14", then sooner or later she will need to buy external numpad to key in number
Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; Linux@ RM1299

If she opt for the Linux spec, she could get cheap and legal Win OS from her school.
Extend warranty from standard 1 year to 2 year for ~ RM100, to 3 years for ~ RM300. (must do, otherwise defeat the purpose of going with Dell )

Pandera already explained. FreeDOS - no OS, you have to install OS yourself. Of course models with W8 is more expensive, Billy has to get his money somewhere, you know

Asus
A55VD-SX825/826/837/933, i3-3120M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1699[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Lenovo
G500S, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS
G500S, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Prices are RSP, negotiable.
4G RAM stick is ~ RM100.
FreeDOS - need to get OS and install yourself. You may get cheap legal copy of Win OS from school.

15" at your budget range, there are only Asus, Lenovo, and Dell
If you are willing to consider 14":

Acer
E1-472G-54204G50, i5- 4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Fujitsu
LH532, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT620M@RM1599 [2.1kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8

Lenovo
G400s, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1449, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Your requirement is confusing
The only 14" with FHD in Malaysia right now is Dell Alienware 14.
ZenBook, Envy Spectre, XPS don't have 15" variant in Malaysia.
So you practically are looking at thin air
And you want to do some "heavy gaming" in those ultrabook (ZenBook, Envy Spectre, XPS are ultrabook)?
You can't afford MBP with your budget.
Laptop speakers suck in general. Use external speakers if you want good audio.
And no, i7 quad core will not give you good battery running time.

Asus
N550JV-CN077H, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard
As XeactorZ mentioned, this is the closest thing that remotely resemble what you may have in mind. Get 256G SSD (~ RM600) after market and swap with the HDD.
Price is RSP, negotiable.

If you know what is good for you, look at this instead:
www.illegear.com
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080)@RM3799[2.6kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 8GB, 500GB 7200RPM, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ]
Customisable to your heart content, can get a custom paint job to make it as "presentable" as you want.
The NTSC 95% gamut screen, once calibrated, has better colour production than any screen out there.

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.

Read through this thread for lots of info on the laptop.
You may contact Prince J right here on LYN, he is from illegear.

For multiple VMware, grab as much RAM as you can. 8G stick ~ RM200.

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.

This post has been edited by nexus2238: Sep 10 2013, 12:55 PM

? When did Y510P become ultrabook?

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.

Aiya, yes, sifu

Touchsmart 14-k028TX Sleekbook, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768;touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, ext OD

S410p, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768, touch)@RM2399[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8, 2 yrs

But review on these models does not oooh aaah on battery running time as much as those on MBA 2013 vs 2012

This post has been edited by nexus2238: Sep 10 2013, 06:48 PM

I meant MBA 2013 vs MBA 2012, battery running time almost increase by 4 hours according to some review (something like 8 hours extend to 12 hours, with some caveat)

These Lenovo S and HP so far only push battery running time by 2 hours to ~ 6 hours?
I'm a bit disappointed lah

Actually, personally I'm waiting for Surface Pro 2 (I want battery running time of at least 8 hours )

No, N550JV-CN077H and illegear are not using the same screen panel.
As I said, don't be too hung up on IPS.
The IPS has the wider viewing angle.
The NTSC 95% gamut screen has better/ more accurate colour reproduction.
Depends on usage, IPS is not necessary better than the NTSC 95% gamut panel, vice versa.

Yes, most brands are holding back and waiting for W8.1 to roll out (mid Oct13) and Haswell to ramp up.
You will definitely see more models getting launch before 2013 year end.

Go with the G400s, can get from re-seller at RM13xx if you negotiate hard
Otherwise the Acer E1 with Haswell Celeron and GT720M is an interesting combo.
Dota2 does not require powerful GPU, but too low a spec really take the enjoyment out
If you want to stick with your brand preference, then the Dell 14 with Haswell i3 + HD4400.
