Less than 2kg for 14-15" FHD screen below RM3.5k?

There's none that I can think of because of that weight requirement. The closest is probably the MSI GE40 at around RM3.9k. But it is known to have heat issues due to the thin chasis and the graphics card.

None

I thought he meant 1600p lol

If it's just 900p, there's quite a number, just depending on the screen size.

Example for 14 inches, there's the MSI GE40

15 inches there are the GE 60 variants from MSI which has FPS resolution. There's also the Acer V7 with FHD IPS display

There's the Lenovo Y510p which has FHD resolution also. Illegear RE 15...

For 13 inches there's one nice Samsung ultra book at RM3k, can't remember the model number. There's the Acer aspire S7 as well

So there's quite a few lah, better to just mention what size you want.

14" laptops with GT740M and i5-4200U <--- ULV processor

Dell Vostro 5470
HP Pavillion 14-N060TX
ASUS K451LB-WX071H
MSI CX61 2OD-078MY
Acer Aspire V5-473PG-54204G50 (RM2.2k)
Dell Inspiron 14R (RM2.2k) <--- But not compatible with SSD according to Dell FB

I wouldn't get it. You can easily get a GTX660M or equivalent laptop below RM3k.

Get the MSI GS 17 instead, GTX765M, i7-4700QM, 17" FHD and at 2.6kg only

Or go for the Illegear RE-17

Errrr, I think there are quite a number of them, go to any shop and pick and choose?

Anyways, just a heads up: Aluminum is a better heat conductor that plastic.

He did not recommend Mac, Sony or Dell....

Battery life should be similar to most laptops with 6 cell batteries. Don't expect anything extraordinary unless you are getting an ultrabook with ULV processor and only integrated graphics card

i7 4700HQ>i7 3630QM> i5 3230M > i5-4200U

From left to right: Highest processing power to lowest processing power and also highest power consumption to the lowest...

How serious are you in photo editing?

I highly suggest you seek a person who can "loan" or colour calibrate your laptop for a fee, I was doing this service quite regularly last time but stopped already when I sold the device. Btw, the device cost around RM400+ for a basic one, I'm using the Spyder 4 Pro which costs close to RM700. That was how serious I was about photo editing lol. Plus, the prints that I do is from a Master Printer who prints for Malaysia's top wedding photographer After calibrating my Dell U2311H desktop monitor, colours were perfect, 94% sRGB and everything came out exactly as what I see on the computer. Simply fabulous when you see your own work on print. It's just awesome

Colour accuracy after calibration will depend on the quality of the monitor itself. The higher the quality of the monitor, the close it gets to near 100% colour accuracy. Also, it depends on the colour gamut of the monitor itself.

But of course, the most important point in colour calibration is to correct the White balance first, as this is the most disastrous thing. You think you are editing a person's face to slightly brown, but in reality it's very brownish (almost orangy). Why? Your monitor is too bluish (cold White balance), vice versa.

The other points are correcting blacks/whites, contrast ratio,etc

Most laptop monitors typically have 60-80% sRGB values, the better quality monitors should have higher sRGB values, maybe like the Macbooks or the Ultrabook IPS monitors.

p/s: Don't get me wrong, the sRGB values are constant. It just shows how much colour data your monitor can display with respect to sRGB (almost anything you see on the internet is sRGB). My monitor which has 94% sRGB for example can display 4 shades of orange, while let's say your monitor only has 60% sRGB, it can only display like 2 types of orange maybe?

These are all that I know lah, don't really know the details...

infernoaswen There's actually one Samsung Ultrabook but slightly off budget, but the 1080p screen, 128GB SSD and HD8570 discreet graphics card is definitely worth the money IMHO

HP Pavillion 14-N060TX RM1.8k+

Using i5-4200U and GT740M

The price range for those laptops are RM1.8k to RM2.2K usually, so it's not possible to expect them to have SSD.

You can easily buy an SSD and change with the HDD, no biggie here. (caution: Dell Vostro 5470 supposedly is not compatible with SSD)

Same goes to RAM, just plug in another ram stick.

Voiding warranty? Quite a common misconception. The only way to void warranty if you temper/tear the sticker which says "void if tempered". HDDs and Ram usually do not have such stickers on them. It's usually on the motherboard itself iinm, do correct me if I'm wrong.

Of course 720p.

The cheapest 1080p screen you can get is the GP series from MSI, around RM2.5k above if not mistaken.

For sure the FULL HD matte screen of the MSI laptop

Overheating issue.

Get any note book below RM1.7k, get something from Dell IMHO (good warranty support) and buy a 120GB SSD to replace the slow HDD

You can get a Y410P DOS with GT755M at RM2.6-2.7k

Or an Inspiron 14R at RM2.6k with Windows 8

Grab the Dell Vostro 5470, it's pretty damn worth it!!!!

i5-4200U, 14" screen and 1.6kg only!! Super light
