okay, if say your location at Klang, you may go Shaw Parade's All-IT
and why you not find the real source from Dell Official website?? 

Here
Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT625M@RM1699[2.33], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8SL@RM1999

others
HP Envy4-1238TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M@RM2099[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

rclxms.gif thanks for the suggestions mr mudkipryan94 notworthy.gif
checked the dell's website and found out that their 14Rs are using Nvidia GT730M instead of GT625M, and checked out the laptops you suggested and made a comparison with their graphic cards, found out that the Inspiron 14R's GT 730M beats both 15R's 7730M (HD 7730M vs GT 730M) and HP Envy4's 8750M (HD 8750M vs GT 730M) on gaming fps.

I'm thinking of getting 14R with Linux OS since it's cheaper and the college that i attend let students download windows OS for free, will change to w8 if I can't coop with Ubuntu tongue.gif , gotta start learning some Linux stuff from now biggrin.gif

anyway, here's another problem sweat.gif
There are two types of i5 processor for 14R on the site,
4th Gen i5-4200U processor + GT 740M + touch screen @ RM 1799; and
3rd Gen i5-3337U processor + GT 730M @ RM 1699

I don't think I would need touch screen for Linux, but the 4th Gen seems better than 3rd Gen, coz it's 4th sweat.gif that's my noob opinion anyway, I don't really understand what difference they both make rclxub.gif I don't think Linux really need the touch screen function tho unsure.gif any sifu out there can help me with this? sad.gif 4th gen or 3rd gen?

since say the wattage usage at both processors w efficiently, i would go for Hashwell, As u mentioned it, 4th Gen Core i5 4200U
coz my mom's fren bought her ASUS N57 w same processor w nVidia GT 750M GC but different price
and tested , the usage quite good as usual tongue.gif and about ubuntu, just for Java JDK n SDK developers choice only
4th Gen i5-4200U processor + GT 740M + touch screen @ RM 179
