You need a good processor. Acer V5 series will do the trick and some offer graphics card as well. If you want better processor Asus A or N series will do it and better graphics card in the N series.

If you just play dota 2 and not any other games, a single Gt 750M or GT 740M is enough for it. You need a better processor for ur programs. If you need good warranty, illegear, acer, dell, HP and lenovo is good. Just don't opt for asus because very bad warranty. Your game can use either DDR3 or GDDR5 VRAM. But GDDR5 gives much better performance. You need good cooling? Acer and illegear provides it but illegear might be an overkill for dota but if u will buy more games in the future illegear is a good choice.

along with the forumer above this post, FYI, all prices are RRP and negotiable.
Fermi is the name and architecture used by Nvidia to for their current Geforce generation line ups. so nothing is so special about it.

by the way, i would recommend you to take the Lenovo Y510P over the MSI GE60 with i5, as the cooling in Y510P is the same as the GE60.

if you want to compare, you can try notebookcheck for their reviews, my favourited notebook review site. icon_rolleyes.gif

Fermi old one lah, Kepler is the new one with better performance

Toshiba? Fujitsu? Not popular here. Go for Asus A series or want better GPU go for Lenovo Y410P. Y410P is reccommended because if want more GPU power can buy extra GPU

laptop that spec with GPU powerful enough to play BF4 reasonably well typically will not have good battery runtime. Priorities.

Acer
V5-573PG-74504G50r, i5-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2899, 4GB, 500GB, W8
V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8

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

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

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Then Acer V5 can play BF4 at high settings at 1366x768 without AA?

was about to say that. laugh.gif anyway, min fps for the GT750M DDR3 on battefield 4 is 37.

i think this is because battlefield 4 is a well optimized game. a Y510P SLI barely hits lower than 40FPS under native resolution (full HD) with high settings.

Wah good performance but will the ULV processor slow the game?

I looked at Acer's UK official website (Acer.com.my did not seem to state the GPU for some reason  shakehead.gif ) and the specs stated GPU for V5 573PG is GT720m.
Would that be sufficient for medium-high settings?

Its GT 750M here.
