Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Linux, 65WHr; W8SL@RM2699
It is spec with i7-4500U, there is no CPU labelled as i7-4200U
.
Z510, i5-4200M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2399[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs

CPU firepower - Z510 with i5-4200M is faster, but also drain more battery.
GPU - 15R with AMD HD8850M (GDDR5) is better, but Nvidia GT740M has better GPU switching (Optimus) vs AMD (Enduro).
warranty - Z510 has 2 year, i5R only 1 year but on site.
Battery run time - 15R is longer.

It's a close call, really up to you.

Options are limited due to your budget.

Price are RSP, negotiable.

unfortunately, in Malaysia, laptop models with decent CPU also get slap with discrete GPU (which your dad don't need).
With the budget, you have to taper your expectation.
if you go bigger screen (e.g. 15"), then it will not be lighter (15" normally is > 2kg). So what do you really want? Big screen or light?

no, if brand new

With that kind of budget, you can also consider Clevo:

Customised for i7-4700QM, 95% NTSC gamut screen calibrated, currently illegear has promotion for free 128G SSD and good thermal paste.

FIFA 14 is not GPU demanding, so you can make do with GT720M (with your budget).
You can make do with i3.

The price listed are the price sifus found on brands' brochure. Re-sellers normally will sell lower than that price.
How much discount you can get is based on your negotiation skill (and stock availability, or special promotion, or pending replacement by new model, or how much the re-sellers like your face ...). Also pay attention and make sure you get local set with proper warranty support.
Gaming performance, at your budget, is still capped by the GPU in the laptop, which in your case is Nvidia GT750M.
Another main bottleneck in laptop performance is the slow HDD, which you can speed up by upgrading to SSD when you have more budget (256G ~ RM600).

15" will not be < 2kg.
14" normally don't have "full sized keyboard" (I supposed you mean keyboard with dedicated numpad), except certain Fujitsu models.

Dell website - If ready stock, deliver to you within 3-4 days. If need to build, could take a couple of weeks. Can pay by credit card, no extra charge. Need to negotiate to get discount from RSP using dell online chat. Can extend / upgrade warranty during customise stage. Can customise (but options have been reduced substantially in Malaysia). Have full range of models.

Resellers - Normally ready stock, don't need to wait. Payment by credit card is based on re-sellers' own policy. Normally already lower than RSP (but no harm negotiate a bit ). If you want to extend / upgrade warranty, have to ask re-sellers to help you (or you could directly) contact Dell, make sure you do it immediately or the extension cost may be quite different. Cannot customise (any customisation is after-market). May not have all the ranges. Need to make sure you get fully sealed brand new set (not display / refurbished set, unless you specially ask for those to get more discount).

iinm, Acer Malaysia has not refreshed Aspire V3 with Haswell spec, so you are probably looking at some old stocks.
Which spec? The link you provided did not mention anything.

Make sure you get the 6-cell battery (not the 4-cell), then battery run time will be quite good.
GT720M will give better performance for Dota, but if you turn down the details, Dota is playable with Intel HD4400 (anyway, concentrate on making money rather than playing game )
Extend warranty to 3 years on site for ~ RM250. Dell Malaysia has the best warranty support currently.

I thought on the first page of LYN, there are price list from quite a few re-sellers at LYP (cycom, jayacom, czone, startec, thundermatch, viewnet, allit) they list down quite a lot of SSD models.
Personally I only buy SSD from Intel, Samsung, Plextor, Crucial (no particular order).
You can try looking for Plextor M5S, there is (was) a promotion (buy 5 get 1 free, i think, from Plextor to re-sellers), 128G is (was) RM320, 256G is (was) RM570 (from Jayacom, iinm).

Yes, the GPU is about on par on raw benchmark, performance may vary from game to game.
I still give a slight edge to Nvidia for its Optimus support over AMD Enduro

Be realistic with your expectation.
15" will not be lightweight (< 2kg)
13" is out of your budget, mostly.
Don't expect good cooling system with your budget.
You can get some cheap 14" models. And don't expect light, unless you are willing to go to 11".
