Sorry. Should have elaborate more on "better quality". Currently I am using 5 years old Dell Inspiron 14. I dont like the not solid feel of the laptop, prefer brand comes with better built which can last me for few years usage without much problem. How is I raise up the budget to RM3k?

Thanks.

hello guys help me out please. or suggest me a better buy than the listed above. any where that I can test out these laptops?

Listed quite a few models for you previously. Check them out 1st
The Asus Pro, HP ProBook, Lenovo V480 in particular has "solid" feel for RM2.5k price range.
There is also a slight difference between 14 and 14R (not much, but slightly better build).

If you hike up to RM3k, then can consider these as well:

Asus
PRO45VJ-V0049X, i7-3520QM + Nvidia GT635M@RM3099[2.4kg], 8GB, 750GB, W7P

Dell
Latitude 14 3000 (sorry don't have the detail spec and price, but should be comparable to others)

Lenovo
ThinkPad Edge E431, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT635M@RM3179[2.15kg], 4GB, 1TB, W7P/W8P, anti-glare

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Pls suggest any laptop with these specs.

Min requirement
LCD : 15" (1600x900 and above)
CPU : 4200OU (must be haswell)
Graphic : prefer integrated (non gamer)
budget : 3000


Thanks.

1. Brand: any brand
2. Budget: 2k and below if possible (otherwise max at 2.3k)
3. Use: gta 4, diablo 3, microsoft office, surfing..
4. Extra criteria: Best bang-of-buck
5: Screen Size: any size

anyway, to narrow the scope, i currently had my eye on the Dell Inspiron 14R (i5-4500U, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, GT 740M) which cost RM1849.00

would the above mentioned model be able to handle gta 4 and diablo 3?..otherwise, what other bang-for-buck lappie would serve my above-mentioned use without crossing the 2k price mark?

Is hp pavilion 15-n044tx good??

1. Preferred Brand: not acer

2. Budget: less than rm 1.8k

3. Usage: Online & paperwork

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 12"-14"

All consumer class 15" laptop with HD+ (1600x900) or above screen has discrete GPU, except this, which is above your budget:

Dell
XPS 15, i5-4200H + Intel HD 4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)+ (1920x1080; Touch)@RM4999 [2.0kg], 8GB, W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 61Whr

You seems to be a photographer. Photoshop (certain features) and other graphic software actually can take advantage of discrete GPU. You may appreciate IPS screen or TN screen with good colour gamut.
Can consider these:

Acer
V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8
Asus
N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard
Dell
Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

For that spec, model with competitive price is that Inspiron 14R and this:
HP
Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1999[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8
There seems to some promo going on, you could get it at slightly above RM1.8k

For your usage, the GTA4 is a concern. That game is notorious for being a CPU hog (poor port to PC platform).

It's the same spec as the Pavilion 14-N059TX that listed for your earlier.

is there any good store in lowyat plaza which sells y510p under 3.3k?

This are new laptop, but the SSD will be bought separately and assembled

sorry ah hijack reply.
Dell
Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

does this have good battery life?

You can make do with Intel Celeron CPU. Just make sure you have sufficient RAM (4GB stick ~ RM100) if you open lots of tab when you surf.

Look for re-sellers right here at LYN garage sales section.
Some of them has shop at LYP

if the discrete GPU kick in, no.
if run on Intel IGPU, decent, close to 5-6 hours, normal surfing.
