1. Preferred Brand : Lenovo, Asus, HP, Dell and Samsung if possible
2. Budget : RM 2500
3. Usage : University works, occasionally uses Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, After Effect and some gamings such as LoL, Bioshock etc
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : Prefers 14" but if there's a better specs for 15", I will consider. I would like it to be thin. Not necessarily ultrabook, just as thin as ultrabook. Prefers backlit keyboard. Core i5 would be enough for me.

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

Dell Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Linux, 65WHr; W8SL@RM2699

Lenovo Z510, i5-4200M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2399[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs, color: white

*prices in RRP, negotiable
*The Asus might be a bit outdated compared to the S551, but with the mSATA SDD, it'll perform faster.
*use remaining budget to upgrade to at least 8GB RAM( Useful for Photoshop).

Still, you should opt for the Lenovo sinec its running on a more powerful CPU (for Photoshop). But if you are more concerned about gaming performance, go for the Dell icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the quick reply! The recommendations look good to me! As for the Lenovo, is there a refresh model for Z400?

Hey guys, I have seen a lot of recommendation of Acer V5 and Lenovo Z510 coming out together. I have a question, which display between the two of them is better? Who has a better screen quality?

Hey guys, I don't know which type of laptop I should choose. I'm deciding between the i5 U and M processor. I sometimes do some photo and video rendering using Adobe After Effect and Premiere but that's like ONCE in a while, probably once or twice a year.

I am thinking of Lenovo Z510 but it's kinda heavy and thick. I actually prefer laptop that's less than 2.3kg and can be slightly thicker than ultrabook. So, do you have any advices? My budget is at RM2.5k.

1. Preferred Brand: Any Brands, as long as they are GOOD (current preference is Lenovo and Asus)
2. Budget: <RM3k
3. Usage: More on university work (dentistry student), some gamings (LoL, Dota2, and sometimes the latest games, played Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and etc), occasionally photoshop and video rendering (After Effect, Premiere)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Thin (something like MBP), as light as possible <2.5kg (including battery), 14"-15" (best is 14"), I'm okay with HD, but if got HD+ or FHD will be better, NO TOUCH SCREEN, DOS is fine with me (to cut down cost), SSD/Hybrid (Not that important)

No model fit your requirement.

Seriously? Then which part of my preference do I need to sacrifice?
