Hi, i'm wanting to buy a laptop for assignment, research and play some computer games such as fifa and 2k13. My budget is RM2000 to RM3000.

1) any asus or lenovo laptop to be recommanded??

2) any comment on lenovo Z500 no touch screen and lenovo Y500??

bro, u can ask recommendation here

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2873123/+200

much better there

Of course Lenovo lah. Buy ASUS...you will cry if your lappy got problem...ASUS is legendary with sucky service. When buy laptop, only 3 brands...DELL, LENOVO, HP.

DELL quality is so-so, but best service. Lenovo has great build quality (best lappy keyboard in the market...DNA from IBM thinkpad) and great services ( i was online with their support at 10:30pm and they reply and fix my issue the next day).

Asus laptops are actually the most reliable, along with that of Toshiba's, so they're not really all that bad. Mine hasn't had any issues in the 3 years I've had it so I can't comment on the service though. It's still chugging along playing Skyrim, Dead Island and Starcraft II. But if I were going for a new gaming laptop, I'd go with Lenovo since they've got the best specs for their prices, and that's pretty much what matters most in gaming.

The SquareTrade reliability survey saying Asus and Toshiba are the most reliable was done ages ago, its not applicable to what we have now anymore unfortunately

And most of the recent surveys are done by asking people one-by-one, which is a useless statistics if you ask me
Would be nice if we have another statistics from SquareTrade

asus reliability give better in record, but once u get into problem, their customer service in malaysia is worst, lenovo is very worth in term of price, but the quality still not yet know

Bro , asus is always the best.

wait until you send-in your notebook.
10-14 working days for repairs(component replacement).
Only repair what user complained.
What ever problem/s that user didn't complain or notice is/are ignored.

Aiyo , my uncle working at Asus . He RMA my lappie for like 6 days only bro @@.

Not everyone here has an Uncle working at Asus. Those that don't be prepared to cry cry cry if your laptop got problem, and you need to have a run in with Asus Malaysia's now Legendary services.

Keep in touch with me la , more better.
I'll help out Asus user out here.
Justice will be served !

Keyword: YOUR UNCLE.

Lenovo Y400, Y410p, Y500 and Y510p all very cheap already..just buy and upgraded to maximum...and enjoy ur lappy...:-D

KEYWORD : Join me !

funny....!

I offer help mah to asus user since i kinda like asus product and their recent ROG.

KEYWORD: No thanks. Already have enough with ASUS Service. Banned all ASUS product forever.

Then what brand you're using @@?

Looks like you have not encounter with Acer service center yet. Asus service center in Malaysia so far so good for me as it only provide standard service.

Now most of the brand start to have on site service. Asus commerical desktops have on site service also.

However, recently i heard their new product still need some improvement.

yeap..!
