Hey gys, looking for recommendation for a laptop, hope yo gys can give some awesome advice.

1. Preferred Brand: I'll say MSI or Asus. Other brands are ok as long as not Acer or DELL
2. Budget: Try to keep it below RM3k
3. Usage: Engineering software, heavy mltitasking ie: chrome with 10+ tabs, ms office, music/video, bunch of other software
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Try to keep it at 14' if possible, max is 15.6' hopefully biggrin.gif

Hopefully the spec can be at least or better than: 4th gen core, 4gb ram, 1 gb graphic, 500gb hdd, ssd if possible (i hate waiting XD)

Not sure whether i want to go for ultrabook (fast boot, longer lasting battery, light-weight) or gaming laptop (better graphic, better performance) as I'm quite the heavy user sad.gif

Thanks y'all

Lenovo Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3099[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs
MSI
GE60-ONC, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX675M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3299, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

Performance-wise, the quad i7 in the Lenovo really stands out among the others laugh.gif

Oh, usually 15 inchers are more powerful and cooler (because of the larger space available for heat dissipation), and not to mention the big and FHD screen will allow a lot of workspace for your engineering work icon_rolleyes.gif
But if you don't mind a smaller notebook, the Y410p is a great choice as well  laugh.gif
