Hello there. Any suggestions or recommendations?
1. Preferred Brand: Any brand should suffice. Preferably ones that fits my usage. 2. Budget: RM3k below. 3. Usage: Educational stuffs (MS Office, VS Studio, etc.), heavy gaming, movies & music, web browsing, and if possible, light-weighted. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" - 15"
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Apr 6 2014, 12:40 PM) Hmmm, you guys need to be more specific when you ask this kind of question  Better in what? haha MSI GE60 is probably better if you want to use it as a board to chop vegetables since its larger in size  Anyways, jokes aside... it all depends on what you want - 14" (portability) or 15" (better viewing pleasure) The GPU in the Y410 is already better than the GE60. And don't forget the GE60 runs on FullHD, so the performance will take a bigger hit if you are gaming on Full HD  Oh sorry. I'll try to be more specific next time. I was actually talking about the MSI GE60 Apache series. Now I'm thinking, is there any laptops within my budget that has the new Nvidia Geforce 800M series? Maybe around RM3.5k

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Apr 6 2014, 08:37 PM) Most of the brands have not refresh their notebooks with the latest Nvidia GPUs yet, afaik  So you only have these two: 15.6" Asus N550JK-CN026H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX850M (DDR3) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3899[2.6kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8.1 MSI GE60-2PE-097MY, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX850M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) @RM3999[Dynaudio], 8GB, 1TB (7200rpm) HDD, W8.1, multi-coloured backlid *Prices in RRP, negotiable Oh I see, will those two models outrun the y410p in the long run? Or is it not worth spending the extra buck?
