thats the best for you...

thanks for the suggestion. but, there is 2 diff of y410p out there in term of reso. one is 1366x768 and other one is 1600x900. which one is the best for gaming? I also had planned to buy y510p, but the reso is too high for GT755M.

Y410P in Malaysia only come in HD (1366x768) screen.
Buy grey import set, and you may not get warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2851949

Budget: RM 1k give and take.

For Microsoft office, surfing and playing movies HD.

Must have HDMI.

Size smaller the better.

Unless if you really need the portability, 15.6" notebooks are usually better for gaming- better cooling, larger screen
In which's case you can take a look at:
15.6"
Asus N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard

MSI
GE60-ONC, i5-3230M + Nvidia GTX675M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3299, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8
GE60-2OC, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3599,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, steel series KB

*Price in RRP

is Asus N56JR-S4018H the good laptop? anyone own it? if not good, please suggest me the better option that hv same specs or better. need to buy new one. current one dying.

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

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

Is there any other difference between these two apart from GPU,RAM,250gb? Which one will you choose between these two if the few following specs can be ignored? Why? Keen to hear your opinion guys!

For gaming, the 1st choice is definitely better

1. Any.
2. 2.5k - 2.8k
3. School, Surfing, Gaming (Around Dota 2-level games)
4. 14"+

Thanks for fast reply! How about build quality? And would like to know your opinion on which brand is good in term of build quality and warranty support? BTW I read some of your blogposts, they were quite awesome! Gonna buy laptop really soon, I must say they helped.

Use the remaining of your budget to extend warranty (e.g. Dell to 3 years ~ RM250).

here you go https://www.facebook.com/GamersHideout

1. Preferred Brand : Acer,Asus,HP
2. Budget : below 2k for 4th gen i5
3. Usage : normal for office usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14", not need touch screen.

Looking for one which is the cheapest for 4th gen i5, have DVD-rewritable ROM, durable with longer warranty.

thanks for suggestion

between y510p and msi GE60-2OC which 1 is better? i more prefer on msi model but its there any issue?

1. Lenovo
2. RM1300
3. Online Gaming Dota etc.
4. Size doesn't matter, i can bring a stone go out..

Leng Zhai Leng Lui please help

Hey guys, after doing hours of research I have filter out my choices based on my budget & the laptop weight. Mind letting me know the pro/cons on the models I listed out & which I should avoid?

If I missed any models that fits my criteria then please let me know so that I can add into the comparison.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus, Dell, lenovo
2. Budget : below 2.7k for intel i5
3. Usage : Normal usage for sister (web surfing, facebook, movies etc)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 13-14", not need touch screen (dont mind if there is)
5. Preferred weight: Less than 2kg but the lighter the better therefore I am eyeing for the dell vostro 5470 since its very light & cheap.

Asus - Seems like all the models that fits my criteria are >3k, I am left out with these 2 models but they both seems to be using 3rd gen (outdated) & not very light either (but cheap)

DELL - Vostro 5470 seems to be in my top priority but the price is so cheap I am wondering is there something wrong with it? Its super light too so seems like a great choice, but comes with 1year warranty so I might need to add to extend to 2years.

Lenovo - Seems like yoga 13 is lightest but also using 3rd gen, flex 14 is cheap but heavy. I am so confuse on lenovo choices

so far... review with any customer dont have much serious issue. all laptop have an issue but not that trouble some.. well, i prefer getting lenovo.. since its also offer better CPU (i7) compare to MSI.. gtx 660m = gt755m(GDDR5). get that lenovo if you can stretch a lil ur budget.

15" over budget
which dota? dota 2? or Dota (WoW III)?
14"
if for dota (WoW III)
Lenovo G400s, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1299, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS; W8@RM1499

Your sister don't need i5 for her usage. i3 is over-kill
The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 is 2kg

Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768;touch)@RM2149, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell
Price is RSP, negotiable.
Have a small mSATA SSD for caching, battery run time is decent due to Haswell i3. Should leave enough budget to extend warranty to 3 years ~ RM250.
