1. Preferred Brand
Any Windows 8 laptop brand except Sony

2. Budget
Preferably less than RM4000

Light gaming in the form of Dota 2. Should have at least 4 hrs battery life.

As a matter of fact, I have done a lot of research these past few days but since this laptop is gonna be my first ever laptop that I own, I want to get one that I wouldn't regret in years to come.
So I'm asking you sifus opinion on the following options:

1. Asus N550JK-CN026H
- My current first choice
- Touchscreen. Cool subwoofer.
- Latest NVIDIA GTX 850M but only DDR3 VRAM.
- Curious about the actual battery life. Any info?

2. MSI GE60 2PE Apache Pro
- Awesome specs. GTX 860M 2GB GDDR5.
- Can do without the touchscreen in this case but I'm concerned with the battery life. One website is saying that it can only last 2.5 hrs despite being idle. If it's true, I might as well get a desktop.

3. MSI GE60 2PC Apache
- Cheaper alternative to 2PE Apache Pro.

4. HP ENVY Touchsmart 15-j137TX
- 2nd cheapest option.
- All-rounder.
- Touchscreen.
- 24 GB mSATA flash cache.
- Need confirmation that the VRAM is DDR3 and not GDDR5.
- No idea bout battery life.

5. Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p
- Cheapest option and comes with GDDR5 VRAM
- lack of touchscreen
- decent battery life (5 hrs as advertised)

6. Asus G56JR-CN183H
- No touchscreen.
- GTX 760M 2GB GDDR5 VRAM.
- What is the battery life?

7. Asus N56JR-S4018H
- Similar specs with G56JR.
- Quite certain that it has no touchscreen either.
- Again, what is the battery life?

Did I missed other options? Most of the options above are gaming laptops. Are they too powerful for my purpose?

Thanks for the suggestions. Was wondering what was the difference between the "U", the "HQ" and the "MQ". Now I know a bit more.

I was indeed looking for FHD screens. I wondered how I overlooked the Inspiron 15 7000 in the first place. It's all-day battery life is a big plus.
