Holy that is one very high budget  drool.gif  drool.gif

Usually graphic designers will pick Mac right away since Mac OSX is much more smoother when it comes to workflow.. and of course, Mac screens are high quality and well-calibrated. But if you want to game, then its better to get a Windows-based notebook already nod.gif

You have an awesome budget, so can consider these:
15.6"
Dell
XPS 15, i7-4702HQ + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (3200x1800; Touch)@RM6299 [2.0kg], 16GB, W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 61Whr

Precision M3800- I don't have the detailed specs for this particular model. But it looks exactly as the XPS 15 above, but with a more powerful Quadro GPU and SSD, definitely worth considering thumbup.gif

HP
ZBook 15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia Quadro K1100M + (1920x1080; anti glare)@RM6399, 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8

MSI
GT60-2OJ-661MY, i7-4800MQ + (Nvidia Quadro K2100M) + (1920x1080; anti-glare 95% NTSC)@RM6999, 8GB, 1TB (7200rpm), W7P, multi-color backlit, 3 years warranty

**Prices in RRP icon_rolleyes.gif
**extend warranty to 3 years with remaining budget
*upgrade to at least 8GB RAM if applicable

Personally I would go for the Precision M3800 (preferably the one without qHD+ resolution), too damn sexeey already haha  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Happy choosing ya~
Of course u can still choose an Apple, but you'll need to bootcamp, just for your games  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks a lot for the details mate,

a quick question, Intel Iris graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
with 2GB GDDR5 memory, is there any much differences?

what is your most recommended laptop for macbook?

Nvidia's GT720M and GT820M graphic cards are entry level GPUs, or to put it badly, the worse performing GPUs of the line hmm.gif
They should be fine for Dota 2, but I'm not too sure about L4D2 nod.gif
GT740M is a mainstream GPU is notebooks around RM2-3k, and is a whole lot better in terms of graphic performance

which means this built in graphic card for macbook pro 2.3ghz is barely useless?
