1. Preferred Brand - Any brand except Acer, HP (Need windows OS)
2. Budget - Max RM3000
3. Usage - Gaming (Dota2/Dota1, SD Gundam Online, CSO), Video (Non-HD/HD), normal use.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - No special requirement.

Dear Sifus,
Not necessary the budget used for laptop itself only.

My budget is RM3000 Max. Please help to recommend the set (Including upgrade) options with this limited budget.

Example:
Lenovo Z400 - RM2200
SSD upgrade - RM600
RAM 8G upgrade - RM200

Thank you

Thanks T.J. for prompt advise.
I read your thread on "how much spending..". I agree that performance is priority over appearance, but somehow it does play a factor to my purchase

No doubt, i'll go through the 14R spec & review.
Meantime, is there any other models (brands) as alternative to this 14R?

Well, part of the article also mention not only look at the slim & stylish outlook. Spec wise also part of it, that is why i am thinking not to get an I7 processor since mainly use for gaming & normal usage.

Yes, don't mind at all about screen size. I'll look into 15R as well.

Just wondering why there is alot of recommendation of lenovo Y410P, Z400(T) to other users with same budget but not applies to me.

My priority will be gaming smoothness(I can play >8hrs a day) > cooling effeciency > screen resolution > others (HDD space, RAM size, backlit. So still, overall in Dell 15R?

Ops, so its my number that limits the choice.
I went through those recommended set, and i think by adding another 500, seems to have more options & worth lappy to consider.
Also, i found an interesting laptop (Insp7000) at Bro Oscar's page.

Below are sets to be considered

1) Inspirion 7000
2) MSI GE60
3) Inspirion 15R
4) Lenovo Y410P

Consider priority needs as below ( > = more important than):

gaming smoothness(Not really heavy gamer) > heat management > WIFI strength/connectivity (Had bad experience with lappy WIFI) > Screen performance > lappy stylish design > other factors (such as weight, battery lasting etc) <--desktop replacement

Based on your expertise, is there any set & upgrade that fits my needs best?

Appreciate if there is reason share too for the choice selected

user, if you have changed your budget/requirements, please start with a new inquiry ya
Lazy to read back haha XD

Okay, understood.

1. Preferred Brand : Any except Acer.

2. Budget : Try cap at RM3500

3. Usage : Mainly use for gaming (Med-gaming-Dota/online games), Video/anime (HD/non-HD), surfing & normal usage/

4. Preferred laptop/screen size : No specific requirement

5. Other requirement: Game smoothness > good wifi strength > good heat management (desktop replacement)

Eyed on below recommended sets (preferably with windows)

1) Inspirion 15 7000 (With GPU GT750M)
2) MSI GE60-20C
3) Inspirion 15R (Not really favor of its design)
4) Lenovo Y410P (Not really favor of its design)

Sifus raymondtong94 [PFT.J.], based on enquiry above, please advice which set & upgrade suit most with this budget.
THANK YOU!!

Thanks kivaa, TJ for the suggestion.

I read user review about sets recommended. All were buck worthy sets...you guys are good.
Unfortunately, i can't see much review on GE60-20C.

I compared the specification. Y510P seems par with 15-7000 only ahead 7000 with MQ processor; while GE60 has I5-MQ procesor & 7200RPM HDD.
Apart from that, noob myself seems can't see much difference in term of hardware configuration

Beside the wide usage of Y510P, is it possible to summarize the pro & cons for each model?

Example:
Y510P : Similar performance as others with cheaper price, equipped Quad core processor etc etc.
GE60-20C:
Inspiron 15-7000:
RE-15:

This will be the critical piece of advice for my decision making. Hope to make a wise decision by end of the week.

Thank you in advance.

Are you sure??
It comes with a wireless network card right?

Oh..2 floor away..then that's ok. Well any laptop 2 floor away i don't think there is good wifi reception right?
I was thinking router at ground floor, laptop at 1st floor already got problem.

I see the spec for 7000, its a dual band...what does that means?
