Usage - browsing the net, not-so-heavy programming, some games 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15'' I am slightly unsure about which budget to tend to this time, as I have always been buying the best hardware I can afford, but not utilizing it fully. I haven't been playing games for almost a year now, but now I feel the urge of doing so . Games like dota 2, COD, hitman etc Currently looking at RE-15, RS-15 (8970m) and Lenovo y510. It is also nice to have a longer battery life if possible, but weight is not much of an issue.

Dota2 and COD will not test the power of gaming laptops Anyway, you have very good budget. For you, maybe avoid Lenovo Y series for now, its wireless card / antenna seems to give lots of users headache www.illegear.com Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM3599[Onkyo], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ][/color] Illegear RS-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX770M + (1920x1080;matte)@RM5499[Onkyo][3.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4930MX][GPU options: Nvidia GTX780M, AMD HD8970M Opt for the nice matte screen, go SSD, increase RAM, get the Killer card. Should be good to go 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

Getting Started Junior Member 296 posts Joined: Aug 2008	QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Aug 31 2013, 02:15 PM) I thought CAD also requires good CPU (not usually available in ultrabooks) and RAM too? Still, I think this one will fit just nice as a performance machine. In fact, its pretty much the only one at its class 14" MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3999[1.8kg], 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8 use remaining budget to upgrade to SSD prices in RRP, negotiable Thanks for the recommendation. Okay if CAD is not really required? I was using an Inspiron 14z and it performed admirably for MATLAB and some light games. Now I'm looking for something similar as well! Thank you!
