Is Dell 15r series aluminium enough? Haven't seen one in person though. And I seem to notice something about discrete CPU in one of its specs. Pretty cheap stuff as well.

I've seen them in person. The spec+price doesn't fit me, I can get better specs for Lenovo or Toshiba.

better specs for that price? I thought the prices there were pretty good already, just that from reviews, it seems like Toshiba and Lenovo may have better build than those Dells.

BTW, how do they look in person? Do they feel decently solid or it's all just looks and feels cheap?

From what I read, I wouldn't recommend it unless on a very tight budget.

Dell Inspiron 15R, i7-3537U + AMD HD8730M@RM2499[2.32kg], 6GB, 1TB(5400rpm), 6-cell, W8SL

this is the only that worth the budget. spending extra RM700 for an anti-glare full HD reso isnt worth it.
the aluminium look makes it feels it is well made and doesnt cheap either. for the lenovo, i felt that the brushed aluminium looks like they easy to be cracked and the Yoga even worse, feels like the rubberized palm rest will easy to wear off. toshiba on the other hand, more worse. the whole body is plasticky feel, due to the traditional glossy design.

How about the 15r with i5 costing RM1899?

by what's the disadvantage of a 15inch laptop compared to a 14inch one with similar specs? besides weight, size and battery consumption?

Not sure, but I stumbled upon this website with this laptop. Not sure how reliable their prices are though.

as above said. for other laptops, they will be overbudget.

no other disadvantages. battery consumption on the other hand, is not highly affected by screen size. due to the ULV CPU that is provided by intel, it can provide a better battery life.

Thanks, I was considering Inspiron 15R, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1899[2.65kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8

But was worried since the price is almost cheaper than the 14r with similar specs. I thought performance will be affected, or maybe heating problems.

Anyway, for the g400s, I saw many saying it is a rip off with those specs and price, but I see a pretty good deal. Am I missing something?

Local set:
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

Those prices are recommended selling price by Lenovo. Reseller sell cheaper than that.
Go to LYN garage sales thread to look for resellers.
Read this thread to understand the difference between local set and AP set:

2GB GPU? A 2GB GT6/710M is just a sad piece of rip-off laugh.gif

You want laptop with dedicated GPU and want them < RM1.5k, Lenovo G480 is your best bet.
