for your usage, i dont think you need very powerful ones, so this one might suit you :

Acer V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8

take note - the mSATA is SSD but it is used as a cache drive. if you want SSD preloaded :

Acer V7-582PG-74501225k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3999[2.2kg], 12GB, W8.1

and a question, your 'light gaming' refers to what title of games?

@raymondtong94

thanks!

Light gaming - no specific games in my mind now, but maybe will try some newly released games in MID setting mode,
Those 2 are good but it's over my budget.
Also for Acer V7-582PG-74501225k, would it be possible to add another HDD?

thanks!

not possible, because there is no DVD drive, where you can buy a DVD-HDD converter bay to expand your storage.

i see. thanks!
can you suggest other model that can have both SSD and HDD at the same time?
not sure if as long as a laptop have dvd drive, it can always be converted as hdd bay..

Hello sifu's i really need a recommendation here

1.i don't care as long as the warranty is easy to be claimed
2.max budget i can go 1.9k
3.can run dota 2 without prob is already fine for me
4.doesn't care as long as the performance is best bang for the buck

p.s. does installing your own OS void the warranty ?

only if you purchase gaming notebook. such as Asus G series. 2 HDD bay.. 500GB+500GB.. maybe u can change 1x500GB to 1 tera? @RM3999,

if u willing to spend more on extra SSD+HDD, Illegear will be the best choice.. which is multimedia/gaming series notebook too.. much more expensive..


btw
sifu raymondtong94 damn, ur avatar... kinda like xiao meimei...

erm, nope.. but its a lot cheaper w/o OS..and freeDos have CD driver provided.. so dont worry...

Acer E1-472G-54204G50, i5- 4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

MSI CX41, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1799, 2GB,750GB, freeDOS

Toshiba Satellite M840-1070XR/XW, i5-3230M + AMD HD7670M@RM1999, 2GB, 500GB, W8SL; 2 years local warranty; colors:red/white

Lenovo S410p, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1799[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB, DOS

think dat MSI and Toshiba seems better and suite your needs. even 3rd gen intel. but still better than 4th gen, 4th gen kinda ultra processor which prolong usage of battery and consume less power.. but kinda bad performance when gaming heavily..

@pandera999



i would like to stick to my budget.
btw, the hybrid hard disk, would the performance be almost the same as the SSD?

also this model can be easily found in lowyat?

its Karin, from the anime Chibi Vampire.
i also love girls in lolita fashion, especially Japanese highschool girls. hontoni kawaii-naa.

eatuup
what about this?

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

it can run Dota 2 pretty well, and has great on-site warranty; saving your hassle from traveling to service centers for warranty claim.

Your budget is quite restricted
Try looking up on these ones. So far i think
these are the ones that fit quite nicely due to the
dedicated graphic card
