Won't external monitors be better picks?
But up to you la haha, I'm just saying haha, not really familiar with 3D tech XD

Illegears are very tempting, but at up to RM8-10k, its not exactly very cheap also haha, for that price I would "subconsciously" expect them to last 8-10 years haha XD After all, RM1k for one year is pretty rational no? XD

Entering next stage of life haha, expectations and expenditures also need to change already as there are bigger things in life now 
I think I should try to find some ways to prolong the life of my m14x~

Brand: Asus, but willing to budge to get the best value.
Budget: 2k - 2.5k. Cud go over by a few hundreds. The lower the better
Usage: big dragon age fan. Looking forward to inquisition. So spec wise mite be based on the game. They use frostbite 3 engine same as battlefield 4. So i'm using BF4 as indicator. Means minimum and recommended requirements are as the link below.

Screen size: i guess 15" wud be good.

Tying the knots? 

i wish i could get external monitors too. just the problem is, i might constantly travel in the future, so i would prefer a high performance laptop with 120Hz screen.

if you wanted to prolong your m14x life, just regularly service it like a car will do a good job.

Yeah, that is also being considered LOL 

Congratulation 

Hi, can u give me recommendation for

1) Brand : any brand that good ( i dont know either which one is good )
2) Budget : less than RM2200
3) Usage : Coding, light gaming, surfing, muvee
4) Screen : dont need touch screen, just want speed for gaming. 14" also can, but dont want really small
5) Size : doesnt matter either it big as kaiju or small as ant. I will carry it in a bag anyway
6) HD size : dont really need SSD, big space if possible

Thanks

Hi, I'm getting new laptop, hope here can help me.

1) Brand : Any
2) Budget: RM1.5k to RM2.5k
3) Usage: Office use & Site use
4) Preferred laptop/screen size : Not a issue since I bring out with bag
5) Battery can last more than 3 hours without adapter
6) Have windows XP driver for the hardwares since I need window XP for my work/software

I don't think current lineup of notebooks supports Windows XP drivers anymore? 

Wah, this is tough question haha 

once i got money, i will find an Alienware 17, and marry her.  

Not Illegear?
Hooorr, bunga hati
