Either the Y400 or the Y410P
Which one to get depends on how adventurous your friend is
I'm assuming he is experienced since he knows how to install OS and drivers on his own.

To maximize his budget, get the Y400, extend warranty to 3 years, and upgrade to an SSD!

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Do take note that processors with suffix "M" are more powerful, better for video editing. Personally I think the MSI notebooks offer the best in terms of specs for your usage. The FullHD screens can be really handy as well
If video editing is more important to you than gaming, then the MSI GP60 is the one to go for

Don't think you can get a Full HD 14" notebook on that budget

Yeah, the Z400 Touch with i7 is a pretty good choice since its a normal quad-core processor. But do take note that the machine is not easy to upgrade ya. Might want to upgrade to 8GB RAM too~

Can consider this one also, a bit old-tech, but comes with 3 years warranty:

Great. Will take a look at it. Thanks TJ

Kindly suggest me a laptop for my sister.

She will use it for studies, movie, surf net.

Size <15inch

Light weight and won't get warm fast.

Thank you in advance.

i checked the unit today, all i can say, even with a glossy screen, it still looks great. build quality is amazing, thanks to the whole aluminium body design and thick monitor lid but i prefer the lid to be slimmer and a thicker base (for better cooling, of course). vents are now located at the center of the monitor hinge (or so called ventless design), not sure whether this kind of design will trap more heat since there is less space for the airflow. with backlit keyboard, typing in the dark is an easy job with its 2 levels brightness adjustment. as for the keyboard, typers will find the keyboard is a drastic show.

rm 3599 with FULL HD for 15 inch ? and rm 3999 for FHD 17? seem like i have to check with Dell vendor , something wrong with the spec list i got

check the price from Dell's website.
the right side is the best/full spec option.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi again ! I raised my budget to RM4k this time.

1. Preferred Brand - Anything
2. Budget - Maximum RM4299
3. Usage - Heavy gaming such as Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" and above

I currently looking at :
lenovo y510p (single GPU)@RM3399
lenovo y510p (dual GPU)@RM3799
and MSI gaming series... MSI looks promising due to their specialization in gaming notebook such as better cooling system and etc...

Help me make decision please thanks !
