Can't really say much since I don't have the reviews for every notebook  nod.gif
But I suppose the Illegear RS-15 Lite will be able to give you what you want~
And I think its under promotion too, so please do check out the Illegear website~

*Since you are into graphic designing, you might be interested in designing the paintjobs on your on Illegear brows.gif
*upgrade to 12GB RAM or more/ upgrade to SSD/ upgrade to the best screen option (more accurate colours)/ get an OS/ extend warranty to 3 years on-site

Ahaha. Thanks. My bro just bought an Illegear too. Awesome offers theyre having on the site!

Apart from the Illegear, where do I get these exact models with exact features, yeah? Because some stores just sell what is already with the laptops. They dont really do upgrading stuffs then and there.

Illegear is all about customizations man, don't think you'll be able to get ready units hmm.gif
Just head to the website, customize, bargain and buy haha, not too hard I think? Or you could just contact the resellers here in garage sales, they're all very friendly one  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thinking of getting the Asus G56JR.

How does it differ with RE-15? My bro is using RE-15 but he's an avid gamer. Tho i'm a light gamer and mostly using my laptop for graphic stuffs.

Adobe softwares, Corel painter, video rendering, and possible 3D stuffs.
Help me decide!
And any other suggestions is awesome too (:

If your budget is around RM4k, then the base spec RE-15 would be a good pick nod.gif

If your budget is around RM5-6k, I would recommend you to take a look at the Dell XPS15, its one of the best notebooks out there for editing work  thumbup.gif

Oh but the XPS15 has a touchscreen right?
The Asus is not good isit? Or is there any problems with it?

Id love the RE15 but id like to buy one thats a set with a printer.

Yeah, they come with touchscreen laugh.gif No optional non-touchscreen variants unfortunately haha... still, its a great notebook~

Asus's notebooks are good, just that its warranty support is pretty bad in Malaysia: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2337458

Woahh. Some serious shizzz with the Asus service center!

I might cancel for the G56JR -.-

Any suggestions on where to buy the XPS15 along witb a printer? Although that touchscreen worries me. Lol
