I have money to splurge in order to buy a new laptop to replace my stolen Acer Aspire 5750G.

1. Preferred Brand: Acer, but other brands can be considered. Basically a competant model that can replace the performance of an Acer Aspire 5750G. Core i7 obviously.
2. Budget: Around RM2.8K++
3. Usage: Multimedia. Both work and play.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15.6" or 17"

That Acer Aspire 5750G was spec with i7 quad core (Sandy Bridge) and GT540M, but only HD (1366x768) screen, iirc  hmm.gif

If you want similar spec:

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 are RSP, negotiable.

Any other brands besides these two? I am not particularly familiar with the MSI and I will never touch a Lenovo with even a 10 feet pole, ugly as fk!

If you want exactly the same type of spec within your budget, then those are the only 2 I know.

What about this one, any good?

link not working, but I guess you mean this one:
E1-572G-74508G1Ti, i7-4500U + AMD HD8750M@RM2499[2.35kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8.1

CPU not quad core.

Btw, are you sure this E1 is better looking than the Lenovo Z? laugh.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

LOL I guess looks are subjective, but the Acer E1 is more appealing to me than any Lenovo model out there tongue.gif

Anyway, you say that this particular Acer is not a quad core? What does that mean, I thought all i7 chips are quads? Also, how does it compare in terms of performance to my old 5750G? The reason why I am attracted to this model is because it comes with 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD....these two things are absent in the MSI model. If I were to get the MSI, I would need to fork out more money and hence that would exceed my budget, which I could ill-afford.

In the mobile space, NOT all i7 are quad core.
If you see suffix such as HQ, MQ, QM (anything with a Q), it is quad core.
If you see suffix with U, Y, those i7 are only duo core.

Compared to your old 5750G, that E1 has:
weaker CPU, better GPU, better battery runtime.

Wow, I learned something new today. I suppose this model is also a duo core?

Looks like I might go for the MSI if I want a stronger CPU.
