1. Preferred Brand- as long as not Acer and HP
2. Budget-2.5k+-
3. Usage-engineering drawing, running heavy program
4. Preferred laptop/screen size-14 or 15.6

Thanks, But is there any 'm' processor available? All are U processor, which i am quite worry when come to gaming (not hardcode, medium setting/no lag will do)

At your budget, with GT740M / 750M, the laptop gaming performance will NOT be capped by ULV/T CPU.

Hence the bottlenneck in such case is still GPU? cuz i read some review whereby U processor really can't go for smooth heavy operation (engineering software and games).Thanks

Hey guys, I am looking at both very similar laptop

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) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Linux, 65WHr; W8SL@RM2699

Both having same price, same CPU, same Ram, same HDD, the only noticeable diff are 14" 15.6" and diff GPU,

Generally I have no problem with both 14 or 15.6, so just wondering which graphic card is better? I did some research and most of the people said it is same.Thanks
