can consider as but you are in the risk of having it.
as stated by devour before, its pretty hard to get away the warranty sticker. he has done RAM/SSD upgrades on a Z500 before, and found a troublesome warranty sticker in his way. you may ask him for more info.

14" doesnt have full HD resolution except the mighty alienware 14.
anyway, you can look at these :

Acer
V5-473PG-54204G50, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M +(1366x768;touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB,W8 *no OD

Lenovo
Ideapad Flex 14, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2299, 4GB, W8, 2 yrs
S410p, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1999[1.8kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, 2 yrs

prices are RRP and negotiable. use the remaining money to upgrade to SSD and/or extend/upgrade the warranty to 3 years on-site.

this :

Lenovo
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3099[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

prices are RRP and negotiable.

what if i go back to the place where i bought it and ask them to change it for me

not sure about this.
sometimes, it depends on where the warranty sticker is stick. i have done upgrades on a GX70 before but the warranty sticker is easy to be removed by a piece of thin blade.

+1, can consider this one as well if you don't want a 15 incher:
13"
Samsung Series 7 Ultra, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2999[JBL][1.46kg], 4GB, W8

They will probably tell you that the upgrade is at your own risk, just like all the other sellers

1) MSI, Apple, Dell
2) < Rm 5000
3) Max 3 Games ( Dota2, Blackshot, ...) and Normal use for coursework.
4) 15 to 17. Prefer Slim model.

Can forget about Apple if you are into gaming

Definitely these
17.3"
MSI
GS70-2OC, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4699[2.66kg][Dynaudio], 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, steel series multi color backlit KB
GS70-2OD (Stealth)-096MY, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX756M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4899, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W8, steel series multi color backlit KB

Slimmest and lightest 17 incher at the moment
Nothing from Dell at the moment that can do you justice haha

i wish to know for S410P without touch screen functions...is it 1.8KG?

Which version of windows 8 installed for Lenovo S410P, Lenovo S410P Touch and Lenovo Y410P?

Please refer to sellers at Garage Sales for more details

I don't think I can play many games when I enter Uni.. So, still worth it?
Why Apple cannot game at all?

Well, with that spec, you can even play Dota 3, 4, 5 etc. Its a powerful machine~
And depending on your course, some i.e. Engineering, 3D protein simulating, 3D design etc., the dedicated GPU will come in handy as well

Apple is not that well supported for games la lol, everyone knows that

If you are not really keen on getting such a powerful machine, you can opt for much cheaper ones, RM3k or so is good enough already I would say, save the money for something else

Err any suggestion for 1.5k budget?

Haha~ thanks for the advice
As long the laptop looks super good then I will buy it.
I'm comparing the Gs70 and Macbook pro.
Can you help me by listing down the pros and cons?

Please follow the format on the 1st page man, much easier for the sifus to recommend


The MBP 15 costs more than RM5k right?

I can increase my budget for Apple product only.
