im sure you will find results.

1. Preferred Brand: any
2. Budget: <2500
3. Usage: Student, minor gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: something with crazy good battery life, want to carry it around in uni without having to keep finding a charge spot.

you should sell off one of it ASAP (or best if you had done it).

i assume your minor gaming as in light titles and those flash games, and also you need a light laptop.

currently looking at a few : Toshiba U840t, Samsung NP530U4E, Lenovo U410

any better choice out there? HP? Asus?

the toshiba you listed uses an older generation processor. suggest you to take this :

Toshiba Satellite U40t-A102, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1366x768; touch)@RM2799[1.74kg], 4GB, W8SL, 3-cell; 3 years local warranty; backlit keyboard

if you want Lenovo's counterpart :

Lenovo U430T, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT730M + (1600x900; touch)+ 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2799, 4GB, W8, 2 yrs

What's the best bang for the buck 17" gaming laptop in the market right now?

Hi need advice here, Is Asus Transformer book T100 currently the best convertible ( tablet+netbook) around with budget under 1.5k? TIA

Hi,

please advise not more than 2k laptop that able to play world of tanks

Depends on your definition of "best"
Asus Malaysia is notorious in terms of bad warranty support

But I suppose its still your best, if not only choice

Pretty much these:
17.3"
Dell
Inspiron 17 7000, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1600x900; Touch)@RM3499 [3.29kg], 6GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr
Inspiron 17 7000, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3699 [3.29kg], 6GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

Not sure about availability of mSATA slot

You will be able to get better specs/performance if you opt for a 15" notebook though, since they are more mainstrean and thus more affordable

Is there any other choice of convertible for budget under 1.5k?

Don't think so

Already get used to 17", going back to 15" is like a downgrade to me. But I intend to use this laptop for about one year, and when 20nm Maxwell/AMD GPU hit the market next year, I'll probably go for true gaming laptop. No mSATA slot is kinda turned me off.

Most likely this laptop will play Diablo 3 most of the time, a better CPU and not too outdated GPU will serve me well as long as it doesn't run on low setting.

I'm also considering to get 2nd laptop cheap so I don't lose much when I sell it, any recommendation?

As recommended

Thanks for your suggestion, will look them up on the net now

You are most welcomed
Personally I think the HP is quite sexy

Both Toshiba U40t and Lenovo U430t look good! thanks

Lenovo looks lighter with better hdd and graphic card but only 1 USB3.0 slot
