Wow look like you need a powerful machine  ohmy.gif

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

*Price is negotiable as it is RSP

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.

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

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.

Hello all, thanks for the recommendation given. Wife and i decided to get the LENOVO S410p, the I7 4500U, Nvidia GT720M 2GB with 8GB RAM together with Windows 8.1 for RM2350 along with the usual Laptop bundle, a rucksack laptop bag and a Yes4g Doogle with RM50 Credit.

The laptop weigh at 2.1 Kilo is fitting enough for her and she is quite happy with the overall performance of it.
Downside, i dont think that it has a HD display on it. Hahaha.
