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

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate *EOL-ed

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*The Lenovo is EOL-ed already, might be a bit hard to find

Spec-wise, all 3 models perform pretty similarly in terms of gaming performance since they all have the same GPU.
CPU-wise, the Lenovo is the most powerful nod.gif
Warranty-wise, both Lenovo and Asus come with 2 years international warranty. But the latter is known to offer very bad warranty support laugh.gif
*
I have that kind of budget too but with an extra RM 500, I can get Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty.

IMO it's more of a gaming future proof with the swappable ODD with another GC, do you agree with me?

How does the Y400 perform with 21" external monitor (dual monitor)? I need that due to my work.

Need your opinion on this. Thanks

Yeah, its a pretty good choice if you are familiar with installing your own OS nod.gif

But please do check whether the swappable exGPU for the Y400 is the same as the Y410p. If they are not, then please take note and don't buy the wrong one laugh.gif
Can head over to the dedicated Y series thread for more personal feedbacks: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2851949

The notebook will have no problems handling two monitors if that's what you are asking laugh.gif
But do expect gaming performance to drop abit at super high resolutions, which can be easily rectified by lowering the resolution. Can refer here for GPU FPS for specific games: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html

Guys, I checked out a Lenovo Z500 and it seems like a good laptop. Z510 isn't coming out soon so is it a good buy for a range of RM 2300?

I heard from a friend of mine that the display is a bit wash out and not as vibrant as other laptops. Is it normal?

Really? I guess I didn't get an honest reply from Lowyat ALL IT Hypermarket then sweat.gif Maybe they are trying to clear out stock I guess.

So how about the display thingy where the color ain't so vibrant? Heard of that before?
