Yeah, can ask sellers for warranty extension. But usually its easier and automatic if you just purchase the notebook and warranty online

want to ask all experts here, is it worth to get a touchscreen laptop when there is same model non touchscreen laptop? few hundreds ringgit different, thinking maybe can use those saved amounts for other things, but want to try new thing... so confusing. so may need some opinions here. thanks.

Definitely NOT
Touchscreen is only good for mobile devices which are tablet-like or can "convert" into tablets.
Constant "poking" on the notebook screen will only loosen the hinges.. and its not exactly very comfortable anyway, not when a mouse is available

thanks for your opinion, you just helped me to save hundreds ringgit already

and is it worth to extend Lenovo warranty? it's not cheap at all~

No problems man, touchscreen on notebook is just a marketing gimmick, and its sad to see many uninformed people are felling for it

Yes, its always recommended to extend warranty for peace of mind. Try to opt for on-site support if able

Hi, I was wondering, if there is other gaming laptop for RM3.5k and less. So far, my options is either Lenovo y510p or MSI GE40, but the 14" kinda turn me off.

Asus N550JV ?

How about this one? No FHD though, but plenty of budget left for you to get an SSD?
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5)@RM2449 [2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2649

The Asus N550 suggested by devour is a pretty good pick as well, though you might have to bargain abit:
15.6"
Asus N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard

*The notebook comes with a powerful CPU and GPU, good screen and dual fan configuration
*But do take note Asus Malaysia's warranty support sucks.

1. Preferred Brand: ASUS (or any reliable brand. Dont know Acer can trust or not based on my current lappie)
2. Budget: 2-2.5k
3. Usage: normal surfing and streaming, occasional MS word n powerpoint, casual gaming like NFS and FIFA.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" . 15" possible too?

Any recommendation? tq tJ

1. Preferred Brand = Any
2. Budget = RM2k - 2.3k
3. Usage = Office, surfing, movie, music
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 13"/14"
5. Requirement = Haswell, at least 2 USB3, at least 2 years warranty

Can consider these
14"
Asus K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD

15.6"
Asus S550CB-CJ102H i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB + (1366x768; touch)@RM2499[1.83kg], 4GB, W8

For the Asus K46, do upgrade to at least 4GB RAM for smoother computing experience
*Do take note that Asus Malaysia's warranty services are not that good

Can consider these perhaps?

Acer E1-472G-54204G75k, i5- 4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1899, 4GB, 750GB, W8

HP Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: silver/black

Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2299, 4GB, W8, 2 yrs

*Extend warranty to 3 years for the Dell/Acer/HP
*According to devour, the speakers on the Ideapad Flex 14 is pretty impressive, might want to take that into consideration as well. The SSD in the Flex 14 will make it the fastest among the lot when it come to load times

got 15 inch now -

Thanks alot for the info~
Pricelist updated

I figured that too

My other choices but unavailable or not yet launch:

Acer V7 482PG
Acer S3 Haswell
Gigabyte P34G

Clevo W230ST/Illegear RE-13 ?

yeah, if you had considered Gigabyte P34G, then you should look at Illegear RE-13 too.

The RE13 Pro is a good choice but I prefer the P34G's thin-ness. P34G is 21mm thick while the RE13Pro is 31mm thick. Weight also is 1.7kg for P34G vs 2kg for RE13Pro.

RE13Pro has better graphics tho, which for me, anything above 750m is more than enough. Only big thing going for the RE13Pro would be the local warranty..

P34G is out in malaysia already?
