anyone can help??
1. Preferred Brand: Any brand with good quality and warrenty service
2. Budget: below 4k
3. Usage: lightroom, photoshop, premiere pro, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: preferred FHD screen if possible
5. weight: as light as possible.

Thanks alot!!

1. No preferred brand.. But am more inclined towards NOT Asus.

2. Budget is around 1800~2000. (can go a bit higher till around 2.3k, but preferably in this range, unless the specs is really too far difference)

3. A little bit of everything - some mild photoshop, mild gaming (mainly dota2, can accept playing in medium graphics), most of the time use for casual surf and watch movies, music, etc. Sometimes also need to do some simulation (am a chemical engineering student ~.~).

4. Prefer small dimension-ed laptops (13" the best), and as light as possible because I will be buying a new monitor (any recommendation too?) And if possible Haswell core (can live with Ivy League though)

Edit: 5. Having touchscreen will be cool. but i can live without it la cuz for me its just a flashy function.

Sorry if my post is too long. Hope sifus can help =D

Need recommendation.

1. No preferred brand: Any brand with good quality.
2. <1.5k
3. light gaming, movie, web browsing, office work
4. 14" , and as light as possible.

I saw that particular one, but the machine is slightly too heavy.
It is actually for my wife. Shes in love with my zenbook ux32vd, with the design and weight and all.
But i told her unfortunately it cant run heavy software that much. I only used it for meetings, presentation and probably during my overseas trip or meeting. Reason why i bought an Ultrabook.

But as for her, she needs a performance base one for study. Currently doing architecture in Manchester, she is in need of a good machine that she can use at the studio once in a while. (Shes already using my old Power house desktop in Manchester which i once used it when i was studying there before her).

So basically the laptop just need to run those few software in case of emergency changes.

for your requirements, its good to have a bigger laptop with dedicated graphics. so i would at least suggest you to take a 14 inch laptop rather than 13 inch, as those are more inclined towards business/girl's/normal/business students usage. some more, 13 inch laptops rarely have dedicated graphics to support your medium settings in dota 2. so, your options :

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

HP
Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: silver/black

if you want lighter or thinner, can go for the HP Pavilion 14. prices are in RSP and negotiable.

1. Preferred Brand : ASUS, MSI, DELL or VAIO. Strictly no ACER
2. Budget : RM2000
3. Usage : Basic usage, no gaming. (For my little sister)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : The normal size. 14" or 15"

Hi sifus, need recommendations for little sister..

1. Preferred Brand : any
2. Budget : less than RM 1300
3. Usage : Basic usage, assignment, watch movie.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14 inch and below

Thanks!

Hi sifus, looking for a new laptop to get my tax rebate

1. Preferred Brand : None
2. Budget: <3200
3. Usage: whole day usage, watching movies, travelling, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: at least 14 inch & at least 900 or 1080 reso

SSD hybrid would be preferred. i'm also very concerned with over heating as my dell xps 15 graphic card burnt out

Thanks in advance

play 10 hours daily better buy desktop with 30" screen...

then you give her your asus ux32vd lor... else you can consider the followings...

MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 256GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3899[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4258U + Intel Iris 5100 + 128GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM4199[1.57kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4258U + Intel Iris 5100 + 256GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM4899[1.57kg], 8GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX


do you consider mac? if yes then

MacBookAir 13", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 256GB SSD + (1440x900)@RM3899[1.35kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4258U + Intel Iris 5100 + 128GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM4199[1.57kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4258U + Intel Iris 5100 + 256GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM4899[1.57kg], 8GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

problem is... with the software required, running it on a mac is a lot of hassle. The price is quite pricey and she is not accustomed to Apple (although she is using the 5s, for a computer, she prefers windows)

Pretty sure she wouldn't mind extra weight compare to my zenbook. Since when we travel together, i only bring my ultrabook and we share.

Y510p is actually is a very solid option... just the weight is like carry brick outside (when add together with adapter, drinking water etc)

Mac just need to find alternative software for it, actually mac is just alternative choice to you (last time i see archi grad with mbp, her rendering is very good also, in fact i would say it depends how they produce the render only....) (and mostly the some mac software is cheaper compare to windows one), or last resort is just use bootcamp and run windows with it....

MSI has lighter machine(2.4kg) with specs that are close to y510p but can't promise if the warranty support and build quality (eg:ventilation) is as good as y510p..

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

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

price is RRP and negotiable.

Cha3m basic usage dont need budget that high. can take a look at this :

Dell
Inspiron 14-3437, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1399[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1549

price is RSP and negotiable.

Thanks for the advise, but the U series of i7 processor will it good enough on the video rendering processing? as compare with i7-4700MQ
