XPS - premium line laptop, better specs (for 15 incher), light, expenisve
Inspiron - consumer line laptop, variable options, cheaper, heavier

not sure about how light your laptop should be. or you can consider Lenovo for better specs :

Lenovo
Y410p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB, DOS, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty

or the small but might Illegear RE-13

prices are RRP and negotiable.

1.)Prefered brand: Anything will do
2.)Budget : RM 2.5k
3.)Usage: Gaming/programming/3d rendering
4.)Screen size: As long not below 14 inch. Weight does matter (But not so heavy lah.)

Thanks!

option 3. option 2 is totally bottlenecked by the processor and weaker GPU, and option 1 is weaker than option 3 about 20%, due to its ULV CPU.

Thanks for your help.

Optional:

you must go see the actual laptop... then you will know the spec/price is not deciding factor for you to choose the laptop d

the exterior and built quality is always neglected by buyers...

whereas for a laptop, imo, the most important is built quality, design, screen, keyboard quality, touchpad quality, ventilation, brand, then only talk about spec....

very powderful laptop but if pair with choppy keyboard or awkward touchpad... will deduct the overall score of the laptop... even you pay a little bit extra... it is worth also, coz you will forget how much you pay after a few month...

Thanks for the suggestion, will have a look on both before decide.

Thank you Pandera999. Yes no Apple - I need another lifetime to get familiar with it...(LOL! It's a joke)

Are you saying Dell comes with best support & Service after sales?

Are these 2 options RAM can be expandable....up to.....?

Hi PF T.J.
Thanks for the recommendation. okay...me is know nuts about ODD...what is that?

ODD= optical drive or CD-ROM, where you put in your CDs
