Hey guys and girls (and those in between)

I'm looking to buy a new laptop with a max budget of 4k rm. I've had bad experiences ACER with overheating, so would like to avoid them!

My main requirements are:

1) Able to play old LAN games (your quake 3's, AOE 2, WoW etc)
2) Needs to be light in weight (Below 2.5kg)
3) Good media laptop (good sound system and viewing)
4) NON integrated gfx card

I thought the MSI GE40 was a good fit for the above but welcome any other opinions

Thanks!!

Greetings grandmasters!

I posted earlier here regarding the MSI GE40, and went to have a look at it today and wasnt terribly excited by it - the glossy black plastic around the keyboard looks well cheap and I thought the lack of a backlit keyboard would be fine, but more of a pain than I thought!

SO ALAS, here I am again.

1. Brand - Lenovo, Samsung, Asus, MSI
2. Budget - 4000 RM
3. Usage - moderate gaming (not fussed about playing things on full settings) but would like to get involved with WoW, Amnesia, CS 1.6 (I'm old school), Day-Z PLUS your general gaming and programming. I don't need to be running somthing ridic like Crysis 3 full blast
4. Preferred laptops - Samsung Series 7, Asus G46, MSI GE60/70, Lenovo Y510 (ideally something below 2.8/9 kg and screen size of 15.4'' or less)

I'm leaning towards the Lenovo Y510, has anyone had any bad experiences with it? Or is there something more suitable do you reckon?

Given the above - what do you reckon is the best bang for my buck?!

Advice greatly appreciated
