Haha, no doubt, MacBook meets my requirement.

If I go for AIR, it's non FHD display, but its non-glossy.

if I go for Pro, its Retina, but its glossy. And I don't really like glossy.

and overall, I don't really like OSX. I'm using a MBP 2010 atm, and its running Windows 99.9% of the time  laugh.gif

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Most have long battery lives, though different people have different perspective of "long" haha XD You can buy a notebook + a few more additional batteries to get long battery life too hehe~

THe Vaio 13 recommended by God lee-what2004 sifu is a great choice since it offers around 7-8 hours battery life on standard battery, yet you still can opt for an additional (optional) battery sheet that will give you even more juice icon_rolleyes.gif

The XPS 15 battery life so far is a mix, some user reporting 4-5 hours for the large battery...

Then you better go for i7 quad core mobile CPU if you want to shorten the simulation time.

If you prefer Haswell (4th gen) i7, then the cheapest currently:

Lenovo
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB, DOS, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty
Z510, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT740M@RM2799[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs

Negotiate, and it should be only slightly above your budget.

Stupid me doh.gif , must have had some other program running, cause when I check again, just two cores mas out. Haven't had time to try using all cores, have to rewrite the program first to try utilizing ohmy.gif

Does it change anything or i7-4700mq still best option or go back i5-4200u?

i7 quad core still better as its single core performance is better than i5 ULT.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Where can I get Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro in Malaysia ?

I'm also looking at a similar laptop, Thinkpad Yoga.

Seems like both 2 models have pretty decent performance to battery ratio . Great find !
