HP

this kind of laptop has more room for negotiation, maybe priced at RM6000 sharp after negotiate (or lesser, depend on sellers). for the RAM, you can upgrade it by adding an extra 4GB RAM kit for around RM100.

or perhaps, you might want to check with resellers or retailers for the Dell Precision M4800 (as the price isn't yet known).

Lenovo Malaysia has not launched T440U or X1 Carbon with Haswell.

Asus PRO or BU don't have anything with Haswell.

HP is the Zbook that Raymond mentioned.

Dell, if your colleague want light weight, should go with the M3800. It's just like XPS15, but fully customisable.

Thanks for the prompt respond, appreciate your help very much.
i have some confusion  , you recommend Inspiron 15 7000 vs 15R but i check the spec and price seem like 15R is cheaper with better spec, is there any hidden spec i dont see on Dell website?

Same processor, window and screen but
15 7000 vs 15R
6GB Ram vs 8GB Ram
7500GB HDD vs 1TB HDD
Intel® HD Graphics 4400 vs AMD Radeon™ HD 8670M 2GB DDR3
RM2899 vs RM2299

Thanks

1. Preferred Brand - Any brand that comes with Haswell
2. Budget - 3k-4k
3. Usage - Movies, Web Surfing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13.3" /15.6"
Please advise 

1. Preferred Brand-
Any, build quality and service must be top notch

2. Budget-
RM 3000 +/-

3. Usage-
Photoediting, browsing, college work

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
Light weight (if possible) , long battery life

Okay thanks. If i take the "light" out of it and add gaming into it?

does the first 4 laptops you recommended (macbook, vaio, dell...) heats up quickly?

Hows the lenovo y510p's battery life?

Macbook Pro 13 (im a mac hater). even though it uses ULV processor, the Iris graphics equipped is good enough for med gaming. it is light and has an amazing build quality. just if you wanted to play games, you need to do bootcamp.

by the way, i would still suggest you to go an experience the laptops yourself, because you dont know how the laptop looks like, you never experience it, hold it etc. so what i suggested here, is just to make a choice of list for you and do a research.

Sorry. Should have elaborate more on "better quality". Currently I am using 5 years old Dell Inspiron 14. I dont like the not solid feel of the laptop, prefer brand comes with better built which can last me for few years usage without much problem. How is I raise up the budget to RM3k?

Thanks.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus/Dell/Lenovo/MSI/ apple maybe?
2. Budget: RM2k - RM3k
3. Usage: Surfing the web, movies and light/moderate gaming (Diablo3)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 11-14 inch
Would also prefer laptops that are less than 2kg

Was looking at the Dell Vostro 5470 because it has gt740m graphics card and also only weights 1.6kg.

Those are great, but it doesn't come with Office. Which I will need to pay another 200 bucks for it (I don't trust pirated softwares due to bad experiences). As well as 50 bucks for Antivirus (I don't trust free antivirus due to bad experiences as well)

How does the laptops recommended above stand an advantage over Surface 2? I don't mind not running full windows cause I don't really use custom apps like photoshop etc. And I am very focused on the screen resolution and pixel density cause I use it for movies, Youtube and other video viewing activities (Surface runs at resolution of 1920x1080 and pixel density of 208 dpi). As well as battery life cause I use it in colleges and Uni which I don't really want to charge everytime (Surface 2 have approximately 10 hours of battery life during video playback)

Well, I don't want to make myself addicted to games again, so I basically "donated" my desktop to my sister and just want to have basic applications and a super clear screen with long battery life. And btw, I requested a >=11", not >11.6"

I already have a 500gb and a 1tb external hdd, so storage wont be a problem. Planning to buy a 64gb microsd card too.

Surface 2 is still not out yet, but I am already aiming for it, just dropping by here to see is there any laptops that will change my mind. It is pre-installed with Microsoft Office 2013 RT. It is 10.6" in size, slightly smaller than my requirements but its resolution and pixel density covered that flaw. It does have a HD video out port, a microHDMI port and a USB 3.0 port though. I do have spare adapters to adapt it to suitable hardwares for video output (not trying to promote Surface 2 here )

Anyways, thank you T.J for your recommendations, you are truly the laptop specialist in LYN that my friends have been mentioning on and on again. And also thank you xproc for listing out the differences between a laptop and a tablet, as well as recommending me something new 

Btw, do you 2 have shops in LYP? Or anywhere in KL/Subang/PJ? Maybe I can pay a visit to your shops some day?

You are most welcomed
I'm actually waiting for the MS Surface 2 tablets too haha~
But one thing's for sure, its definitely worth the wait, as a lot of new tablets are coming up... Although some may not be as good as the Surface, they do have better warranty supports 
I'm not too sure what happens if a Surface becomes faulty

Can u give me recommendation on Allienware 14 and its MSI counterpart 60/70 series or any other brand?
Which one is the best, i play about 10 hr daily.

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.

Need your recommendation.

1. Preferred Brand: Any reputable brand with good after sales service
2. Budget: below 4.5k
3. Usage: Office works and database mining
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13 or 14inch
5. weight: below 2kg. portability is an important factor. its for my wife.

TQ

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.

Need good screen meaning? FHD?

Last year I checked, asus zenbook battery life was pretty close to the MBA (even the design lol ). Not sure about the upcoming latest models but I think it should be better. Best to read reviews on battery life I know Lenovo U430T can give up to 8hours+ but its probably not what you are looking for haha.
