Smaller gaming notebooks are not that good usually because of the small screen, crampier keyboard and also poorer cooling system- a compromise you have to make for the extra portability nod.gif
Can consider these:
13"

ok.. if the game doest not involve much or heavy 3D rendering.. that ultra processor gonna bottleneck your gaming performance.. futhermore.. i5-4200U [ULV (ultra low voltage)] have low performance compare below i5 spec on other lenovo notebook. ULV is better in terms of battery power saving. compare to below i5... its hunger for power and drain battery faster.

Errrr, I think there are quite a number of them, go to any shop and pick and choose?

Anyways, just a heads up: Aluminum is a better heat conductor that plastic.

Hey guys, I've posted my query on the first page.

These are the three models I've narrowed down to:

Asus N550JV-CN077H

Lenovo Y510p

MSI GE60-2OC

Among these 3, I haven't found a review for the Asus. But after reviewing Lenovo and MSI, I'm keen into the Lenovo laptop. But are the specs different based on different sellers? Because the one I saw in the review is kinda different from what [PF] T.J. posted in the first page.

In your sifu's opinion, which is the best among those 3? I'll put in detail my requirements and usage:

1. I'm a kind of person that rarely shuts down the laptop, most probably in sleep mode.

2. I also want a laptop that produce less heat.

3. Would like a laptop which has the best graphic capability, and international warranty (as I'll be using it in Australia).

4. Mostly gaming in World of Warcraft and Dota2.

5. Budget of RM3.5k +-

6. The bigger screen, the better.

You can add other suggestion of laptop other than the three that I've posted.

Thanks!

Wah, that's a good budget for usage. I think you've posted this before right? hmm.gif

Do you prefer hybrids, ultrabooks or normal notebooks?
