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.

If its up to me, I'd take either the MSI GE60 or Illegear RS-15 nod.gif
The MSI is a pretty good choice for your budget, with 2 years warranty nod.gif
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  hmm.gif

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.

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

Hehe the reason is because I want to know what I can get with a rm4k budget. I want a balance performance between work n gaming (like cod, l4d, or online games) so 2anna know which is the best that I can get
