no. it doesnt have SSD. if you want to upgrade to SSD, the pricing for SSD is 128GB for RM300+/- and 256GB for RM600+/-.

any light and slim design is not recommended for heavy usage like gaming or long hours rendering, as excessive heat will be trapped inside the laptop and damage the internal components. however, you can look at these :

MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3999[1.8kg], 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

illegear is a brand which sells customizable laptops. it is just exactly like sager, which they brought back the laptop chassis from taiwan manufacturer, Clevo and build it under their name.

prices are RRP and negotiable.

for Y400, you dont have to worry much about the temperatures, as the thickness of the laptop itself helps the ventilation. however, the Z500 is an exception. it is not suitable for long hours gaming, as the thinness traps heat easily.

then it is worth the wait. 3rd quarter is near.

my only answer is question back them and make a conclusion, 'have you ever realize that computers are products that are guaranteed to be working fine? thats why all computers or parts comes with warranty and allow you to make a claim if there are defects.'

BUT, when it comes to software, i will generally ask them, 'are you watching prawn?'

my lappy never get infected by virus, while im letting my lappy to be 'naked' all the time.

ya, have to agree that some peoples never understand that. if i tried so hard to explain that, i will end it with luck's conclusion.

what kind of long term usage is it?
if you are talking about gaming and heavy use, it is definitely good.
if you are talking about idling, it can even handle long hours idling.

hoho. i never let anyone to transfer files to my computer without my acknowledgement and permission.

care to show me which shop is it? im gonna troll him.

with your budget, its likely impossible to get a high performance 17" laptop. so far, the one that is near your pricing is this :

Lenovo Ideapad G780, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM2299[3.0kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm); W7HP

for entry level ones, you should look at these :

MSI GE70, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299, 8GB, 1TB, W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack
Illegear RE-17, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080)@RM3799[Onkyo], 4GB, 500(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ

playable only on low settings.
you have to top up budget or select cheaper variants if you want to play games with high settings.

cheaper variants - Lenovo Y500/Y410p, Illegear RE-15 or RE-17. thats your only choice. all of them are in price range RM2800 - RM4000.
