As what raymond sifu has mentioned, do contact Illegear representatives, or find bro Oscar (putochip123) here (easier to reached via FaceBook): https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienwar...1751731?fref=ts

It shouldn't be a problem for them to get you the latest and most powerful  brows.gif

Not sure about Illegear, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem with Bro Oscar, since he is very familiar with upgrade/maintenance of high end machines thumbup.gif
He was also one of the first to have an M18x in Malaysia iinm laugh.gif

Hey guys, need some advice on getting a new laptop @@

1. Preferred Brand: any brand which can last long time like 4 to 5 years
2. Budget : rm2000 +-10%
3. Usage: light-medium gaming, documents, surfing, movies, songs
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" for mobility
5. preferable if touch screen is available XD
6. preferable if the graphic is GT740m above than GT720m
7. preferable if the hardisk is 1TB

I have been searching through some models, need some user review on them as well:
a) asus K451LB 14"
b) lenovo s410p 14"
c) asus X552LD 15.6"
d) asus A450LC 14"
e) lenovo flex 14 14"
f) lenovo flex 14" touch screen
g) lenovo Z510 15.6"
h) lenovo s410p 14" touch screen

I am not able to make decision especially whether to get GT720m or GT740m. If I am not sticking to GT740m, there will be more choices. According to
http://www.notebookcheck.com/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.89899.0.html
GT740m is a lot more better than GT720m but GT740m can only perform to the max on a quad core processor. This makes me, again, very hard to make decision. However, coming to the brand, I am not able to decide whether asus is better or lenovo (currently my best two choices to go).

Therefore, I really need some serious advice from pros and sifus. @@

For better gaming performance or overall smoother computing experience, you need:
1. Better GPU - Better gaming performance
2. More RAM - better multitasking (opening loads of programs/games at once)
3. Faster HDD/SSD - faster read and write speed

Overall, switching your HDD to SSD is one of the most significant performance upgrade you can apply onto a notebook, so its definitely worth considering once you have the budget nod.gif (HDD can be upgraded in the future. GPU cannot, which is why you should go for the best in your case)

Go for any notebook with GT740M since you game:

for something thin, light and cheap, Vostro 5470 is always the answer.
but another alternative can be the Lenovo Flex 14. weighed at around 1.8kg with battery.

Weigh above 2kg, no? The RM2199 Lenovo Flex

Thanks for your suggestions. How about the processor for GT740m? Does it necessary to be paired with a quad core to produce its max performance? How about the brands? I mean like the quality of certain brand. I heard that axxr spoil very fast. No experience with hx as well.

A quad-core processor will only be able to shine if the game fully utilizes it... in most cases, dual cores are good enough nod.gif
Some more your budget doesn't allow you to get one with quad-core unfortunately sad.gif

which means the GT740m doesnt necessary to only be paired with a quad core? the models u mentioned above all come with 2 slots RAM? so far as I know, asus k451LB comes with a non-removable 4gb RAM + an empty RAM. they made asus k451LB similar to a macbook.
