ASUS is not problematic but the warranty support is. once your laptop is down, you will feel the pain when you send in for warranty for the 1st time. when you mentioned as big as possible, you may look for 15.6 inchers.
ASUS
A550CC-XX530H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT720M@RM2099[2kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: black/red/white

Dell
Inspiron 15, i5-4200U + AMD HD8670M@RM1699, Ubuntu, 6GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 6-cell; W8SL@RM1899

Lenovo
G500S, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

prices are RRP and negotiable.

A lot of people have been telling me that lenovo spoils really easily and that I'll be better off with an asus. Some tell me the new lenovos are alright, like the y510p, which is just below rm3k if I'm not mistaken. I really don't know anything about laptops, just need one urgently for work etc. Between the ones you've suggested, which one would you say is the fastest? For browsing internet etc, no lag, good to watch movies on.
My budget is increased to rm2.5k. Make much of a difference?
Thanks

Fast - CPU & GPU give the laptop the processing power, but the biggest bottleneck is the slow storage, so spend money to get SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600) and replace the HDD.
With your budget, the largest screen you can get is 15" (with reasonably powerful spec)

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699
Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5)@RM2449 [2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2649

Lenovo
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3099[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

MSI
GE60-2OC, i5-4200M + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3099,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, steel series KB

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Thanks for the suggestions! I cant spend extra on SSD. If I were to cut my laptop budget and use the remaining on SSD, is it better than buying a more expensive laptop without SSD?
