Hi lowyat sifus. Im searching for a laptop for video editing purposes .

1. Anything except Acer , with good warranty
2. Price : RM3k
3. Use : Hardcore Video editing , maybe some light gaming liek CS GO
4. Screen size : Ill prefer biggest for the buck. And if possible FHD , if not HD

Hey i really appreciate for any help given. Stay awesome guys !

Which brand offers best warranty service and after sales service?
Heard ASUS is has bad warranty service...

Hi!!! Can help me with the below? thx!

1. Preferred Brand: Any Brand really
2. Budget: Around RM3.5K
3. Usage: Gaming (Battlefield 4, Crysis 3). Web Browsing, Multiple programs on usually like browser, Spreadsheet, videos. Occasional need for portability (not asking for weight but battery at least 3/4 hours would be great)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: At least 14/15 inch. Preferred decent cooling. I want it to last at least 2/3 years

I searched around for quite some time. Hp Envy 15 and Lenovo Ideapad Y510P caught my eye. The Y510P Dual GPU is nice but low battery life from what i see.

Sifus need help here. I just got from LYP this morning and i look for gaming laptops...

Acer, Lenovo, Alienware, MSI, Dell

my budget is around 3.5 to 5k.

For serious and hard core gaming...medium to high video (not necessaryly in ultra settings...) Titles: Assassins Creed IV, The Witcher III, Need for Spped, Crysis 3, Farcry 3, Tom Raider, Latest title games.,.... Facebook and skype Video calls. . . and a little not too serious photo and video editing.. kinda love to record videos of my self doing some music stuffs...
It should be better if can upgrade to ssd or can add ssd to it.... and can upgrade the specs (change it) for a better use in the future...

14-15" FHD, IPS, or those kinds. . . i find that 17" is kinda big for me lah. . .


I go to LYP this morning for price canvass...

V7-582PG-74501225k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3999[2.2kg], 12GB, W8.1
--> this one caught my attetion because it has a really nice screen quality.,... and when i ask about the GPU...
"""GT 750m ==> 4gb DDR5 and it's not 2gb DDR5... How does this affect the gaming performance?
And i'm worried beacuse it seems that its really thin for a gaming laptop like msi gs70...
But SSD is a Good factor for me to consider this...



Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3999[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, GN37 exGPU & ODD, 120w+170w psu, 2 yrs
--> i can consider this but it should serve as my last resort. . . kinda annoyed with the red backlit keyboard and the screen is not that good...for me... but interested on its SLI GPU...



GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard
---> This i got to see at the last floor and the one who assisted me told me that its screen is FHD "IPS" it that true?? is these somewhat upgraded already? but it cost around 4.8k??? all same specs but IPS??? i cant remember if it has ssd or not,...


and FINALLY THESE 2 FROM DELL...

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

Alienware 14, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 64GB mSATA + 750GB(7200rpm)@RM4999[2.77kg], 8GB, W8SL, 802.11ac

Inspiron has a good screen quality also but i'm afraid i cant play the games i want. . . that is the only problem so far..and very thin also? afraid it could warm so fast...

Alienware, i cant say anything bad about it, just the SSD that ONLY used for catching... cant store files or what...
how does it if compared to lappies with ssd that can used for storage???
and also my concern is its maintanability... like access to its components, they said it has a very good stability but i'm afraid of it because its access to its components seems worse compared to other laptops...


I'm all about the performance and screen quality is a plus here....
GUYS can you help me decide??? i wanted to have the GT70 but its really big already so i think i'm not on the 17'...

i'm also concern about there brand' service after sales, its warranty, those stuffs...

please help sifus... need to have plenty of suggestion here guys...
Thanks in Advance sifus, i really need your help.,,,,

the red backlit keyboard can be turned off one!

"Biggest for the buck" would be these
17.3"
Dell Inspiron 17 7000, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1600x900, Touch)@RM3499 [3.3kg], 6GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr
Lenovo Ideapad G780, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM2299[3.0kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm); W7HP


However, for your usage, I suppose these will be better picks:
15.6"
Lenovo Z510, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT740M@RM2799[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs

MSI GP60-2OD, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT740M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2999, 4GB, 750GB, W8, steel series KB

*Prices in RRP, negotiable

Dell, Apple and Illegear seemed to be at the top of the list when it comes to normal consumer notebooks

The usual picks:
15.6"
Asus
N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard

Illegear Configure Illegear units here: http://www.illegear.com/
Illegear RE-15, i5-4200M + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080)@RM3499[2.6kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4900MQ]
*might want to wait and see what X'mas promotions are there

Lenovo
Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT755M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3399[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8.1, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

MSI
GE60-2OC, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3599,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, steel series KB

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*The Illegear RE-15 should have the coolest temps among this lot. Though its better to double confirm first

Please follow format

Too long, lazy to read
Can consider this one:
15.6"
Illegear Configure Illegear units here: http://www.illegear.com/
Illegear RE-15, i5-4200M + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080)@RM3499[2.6kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4900MQ]

It should cover all the things you want
*extend warranty to 3 years, opt for the best screen upgrade, and also opt for an i7 CPU and SSD
*Might want to wait a few more days and see what X'mas promotion Illegear will be holding this year

Guys, this is a recommendation thread.
Look for re-sellers at the garage sale section

"Y410p can use at least 3 years?" - How do you suppose anyone can answer this question?

want to be able to upgrade spec, then:
Alienware 18
Illegear RS (clevo)
MSI GT

All probably out of your budget

Closest:
Lenovo
Z510, i5-4200M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2399[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 yrs

Thanks!! These 3 are interesting. How would u say they would fare with....say battlefield 4. what would be the settings it can run in?
Illegear, after putting in OS and changing CPU into quad version up-ed it into 4k area. Its over tipping my budget. its fine if I know the difference than the others (cooling, etc.)
I'm not sure how to double confirm the cooling other than alot of review search. Any particular way to confirm this kind of stuff?
