This is pretty normal in budget line notebooks unfortunately
Still, its easily overcomed by using a mouse lol, as suggested by raymondtong94

But do make sure that there are supported drivers for W7 ya

1. Got the specs and price from ytlay, a reputable source. Not sure whether stocks are already available in stores or not. You will have to go and find them

2. Nope, imported units are not covered by Malaysian warranty, so please be extra careful, especially those that are so cheap that it sounds too good to be true

3. Yeah, can't seem to locate the VGA port even though its stated under specifications. Again, need to see the real unit or wait for reviews to comment. Backlit is optional, and I don't think our Malaysian variants have it

Specs are as follows:

1. Nvidia GT720M is better. Still, expect low gaming performance only

2. 1 year only

3. All are 1366x768

Buyer's budget is RM1200 man, please recommend appropriately

Thanks for the input, looks like there's a mistake in Lenovo's website

Can consider these yo:

GT650M is relatively "old" tech. Don't think there is one in the current market

1.5kg might be pushing it

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*I would recommend the MSI GE40, it really packs quite a punch for the price. Full-fledged CPU and GPU in a slim profile You can upgrade the RAM to 8GB, and also upgrade the HDD to SSD later on for much reduced weight

No spoonfeeding
Please Google it up man, we have already provided you with recommendations, with detailed specs summore, the rest you can easily find in websites

Definitely GT740M yo lol, much more powerful

Assuming you would want a 15 incher for better viewing pleasure, and since you don't mind the weight

* Prices in RRP, negotiable
* Assuming your light gaming is really "light"
* You don't really need an expensive notebook for your usage. So just go for the more affordable ones.

The Acer R7 has the best screen among the lot.
Go for the Asus if you don't want to spend any effort doing some aftermarket upgrages, but do keep in mind Asus Malaysia's warranty support is pretty bad

For the Dell, Lenovo, use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years on-site.
For Dell/Lenovo/Toshiba, use remaining budget to swap the HDD with an SSD, and you'll have an insanely fast machine

Well, its up to you man haha, you could ask sellers to do those swapping for you if you want (usually for a price la )...
If you don't want any of those, get the Asus, it already comes with an mSATA SSD, that will give you a faster and smoother computing experience

And yes, it can support Dota2. Dota 2 is fortunately not really demanding hehe

But I have to warn you again ya, Asus Malaysia's warranty support is really bad. If you buy one, make sure you check and make sure 100% its without faults!

Yeah, and that IPS screen!
Try to bargain ya, get a huge slash off the price, and spend the money saved on upgrading to 3 years warranty

Yeah, I would say its worth it for movies, especially high quality ones haha XD
Not sure wo, perhaps around RM100 or more?
Iirc, warranty extension to 3 years should be ~RM150 only


Acer Aspire R7 by PF T.J., on Flickr

Not exactly very powerful CPUs (you can't have the best of everything ), but maybe can consider these:

*certain models don't have info on the weights and might be >2kg

My vote still goes to the MSI GE40, its the best in terms of price/performance/portability

Sorry to hear of your loss man... if its really mobo problem, replacing one will at least cost Rm1k!

A notebook for designing/drawing will benefit from a decent CPU and lots of RAM:

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Can also look for other models with i5-32XXM as well
**Please do take note that I am recommending notebooks with "older" specs. Even so, this models have "Mobile" processors which provide more CPU juice than the newer ULV processors At least until the "Mobile" Haswell processor-powered notebooks become more common. If you want, you can wait
*Upgrade RAM to 8GB (at least 4GB; higher better)
