Hi guys. Need help on recommending a lappy again.

Preferred Brand: Any
Budget: Maximum 2k
Usage: College study use, productivity, light gaming (L4D & Dota)
Preferred laptop/screen size: 14". Light and easy for travel.

Hi there. Need to replace my 2 year old Asus U46SV.
https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/U46SV/

Lighter and better than this.

1. Preferred Brand: Any, with strong hinge and good stereo speakers!

2. Budget: RM5k thereabout or less.

3. Usage: Work and business traveller. That is why I don't care what laptop. At least able to use Adobe CS6. I use the GT540 to render 3D graphics on the laptop for work. I don't mind onboard, as long as it can display the 3D objects without stuttering.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: cannot be smaller than 13". Don't mind 16" if it is light. Better screen colour if possible.

5. Others: I don't mind a cheap HD laptop. I will change it with my 512 GB SSD from this laptop. Will carry over the 8 GB DDR3 Ram also. So that is not a problem. The main problem for this laptop is that the hinge. Since they made it too thinly and the there is a bump behind the base of the screen, the screen hinge will hit base at full tilt. This stresses the hinge and then brake the hinge bezel at the monitor region. This is an idiot design. Since the screen is washed out most of the time, and I need good colour representation, I need to tilt the screen backwards.

On another note, I would like stereo speakers which are on the left and right side of the laptop. On this laptop, both speakers are placed at the same right side area. It does have stereo, but you can't tell since the speakers are too close to each other.

Thank you

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand with good quality
2. Budget:4.5k below
3. Usage: Dota 2, light games and work.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" 
5. weight: below 2kg. (frequent travel)

Any good suggestion.

Thank you so much nexus2238. Now I can happily go purchase my new MBA next year. Sometime really feel not so comfortable when making a leap toward a new OS. Especially certain software on Windows I used the most is not available in Mac.

Bro, I got another question, the most identical battery life performance to Macbook Air 13" is Sony Vaio Pro 13" and Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus?

Because currently looking for the Best Battery Life + Ultra Portable, ultrabook/laptop. Asking you for opinion which model for the best. Price doesn't matter as long not acceed 4k

1. Preferred Brand: (Any at the moment, as all the while using Apple Mac, but looking for a newer laptop as my old mac of 5 years acting up)

2. Budget: 3-4k , if installment then maybe can take up to 5k

3. Usage: Generally work and gaming if possible

4. Preferred laptop/screen size : Currently i am eyeing Either Apple Macbook Air 13 inch with 256 SSD, or Lenovo ThinkPad T440p or Lenovo Y510p

anyone can recommend?

You are listing 3 models with very different characteristics.

MBA - 13", very light, chic. Gaming in OSX? Unless you bootcamp or VM with Win OS, not much game titles.
T440p - 14" bento box that build like a tank.
Y510p - 15" bling bling entry level gaming machine, heavy, build quality is nothing to shout about.

So what do you really want?

If you want something not too heavy, CAN look like a bento with solid build, and CAN bling bling during gaming, then:
www.illegear.com
Illegear RE-13 Pro, i5-4200M + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080 IPS)@RM3999[2kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), Backlit Keyboard, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4900MQ]

They accept credit card

Dell
Vostro 5470, i3-4010U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell

Price is RSP, negotiable.

haha, thanks Nexus, its a lot of difference between between the above, MBA or MBP because been using Mac for personal use for past 5 years, but as you said quite limited game titles unless pair with parallel windows, but the graphics card is kinda limited since integrated Intel 5000 graphic card

whereas my choice of ThinkPad was well build like a tank yet still efficient though maybe no at this point of time as a primary choice yet

Y510p was due to well gaming machine yet can do other stuff but boy it is heavy

Generally speaking just light gaming i.e. Warcraft, Starcraft or Dota type of game, nothing too taxing, i am fine with playing low reso and low quality

More focus toward portability which MBA was my choice but thinking windows can play more games

Thank you for your reply 

Where can I get this laptop? From lowyat or from Dell website?

The HD5000 in MBA 13" can handle the game titles you mentioned in low details reasonably.
So if you are used to Mac OS and the quality of MacBook, may be should stick with it

The illegear RE-13 Pro that was suggested has solid build, IPS screen, can handle games well. But battery run time is poor if you are used to MBA's battery runtime. It's definitely heavier than MBA

read this thread, there are quite a number of owners of RE-13 Pro posted their feedback on this model.

low detail actually not so low also... intel graphic 5000 is consider very okay already...

for example dota 2 will lag abit on intel graphic 4000.... for 5000 it wont...

starting from Intel HD5000, all the games with lowest settings at HD resolution is playable.
