Prices are in RRP, for a notebook of this budget, you can easily get a few hundred bucks off the price

For u will take which one?

If its up to me, I'd take either the MSI GE60 or Illegear RS-15
The MSI is a pretty good choice for your budget, with 2 years warranty
You won't be able to get a lot out of customizing the RS-15 with a RM4k budget I'm afraid (unless if you plan to go FreeDOS/ Unix). And at best you can only afford 1 year warranty

1. Preferred Brand
Dell

2. Budget
Around RM2,000.

3. Usage
Watching movies, skype calls, light gaming for games that do not require high end performance and other usual daily tasks.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
14".

Thanks!

Dell vostro 5460

Thank you guys for all the replies!

Since so many of you recommended the RE-15, I'll take a serious look at it. Only cons is it doesn't have backlit keyboard

Do you care about weight? Battery life? Looks? Cost? What he posted might have similar specs, but they're all built for different reasons. Everyone has a reason why they picked what they picked.

My choice in that list was the GE40. It's a 14" which, if you sacrifice the ODD model, you can have 2 x mSATA + 1 x SATA. Currently I have 128GB SSD + 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD in my GE40. Also, the GE40 is one of the few rare lappies out there spotting the 37W Haswell Quads, as opposed to the other 47W Haswell Quads out there, giving better battery life. It also weights only 1.9kg with all those in it.

Erm actually I am not really looking at tye pro gaming laptop. What I play is actually l4d, cod and some online games. Also for my work as im in construction line and video streaming. Budget max 4k but if can be less than that im more than happy

Of coz look us one of the factor

4k is abit too much for.me as aftet sometimes I might not be using the lappie anymore and also might not play the games often. Mostly surfing the net n video stream but I want a balance performance for both.

Basing off your statements and all.. I think you would be happy with a Lenovo. I find their price/performance ratio very good.. cheap but powerful.. and look wise/build quality it's one of the better ones out there.. only down for me is their weight, so if you're ok with the weight, then go on ahead. I emphasis on weight only because I carry too much in my backpack as it is.

finally, this thread is pinned.
Aiya, poked the mod nicely to un-pin v18 lah

1. Preferred Brand - Any brand as good as prefer.
2. Budget - Around RM 1500-1800
3. Usage - MS OFFICE, LOAD DATABASE FILE, WORKING PC/ NO GAMING
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - AROUND 14"
5. WITH/WITHOUT WINDOWS ALSO OK

consider these then.

Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell
Dell Inspiron 15, i3-3227U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[2.25kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell, W8SL

Nope. Even sandy bridge i5 (i5-2xxxM) will still perform very well in the age of Haswell (that's a 3 year old CPU, btw).
i7 quad core is really not necessary for lots of people. Current gen of PES is not even optimised for quad core (can't say for future gen though )
The point to remember is this: your budget is not unlimited. You want to spend money to get the best bang for buck in terms of performance / user experience.
For your budget, GPU is more likely the bottleneck for gaming, not CPU. So you should spend money to get laptop with the best GPU possible.
Then spend money on SSD, for example, since SSD will really "speed" things up a lot, since HDD speed is the bottleneck for laptop responsiveness.

4TH GENERATION IS OUT, SHOULD I GET THE ONE WITH 4TH GENERATION?
ANY OTHER MODEL?

why u put budget as RM4k in the 1st place if its too much?
Yeah, you don't really need such a high end machine if you don't game that much, and only doing simple tasks

You don't really need Haswell for your tasks
But if you really want one, can consider this:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1549 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 4 cell

Not much Haswell-powered notebooks in the market yet though
