no budget limitations? thats so nice to hear. cry.gif
anyway your best choice :

MSI
GS60-2PE, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX870M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 128GB mSATA + 1TB (7200rpm) HDD@RM6499[Dynaudio], 16GB, W8.1, multi-coloured backlid; gaming mouse, HDMI cable

comes with 2 years local warranty and 1 year international. its very thin and light, a capable gaming machine. i think PC fair has the latest units now.

Is Mac OSX okay for Computer Science? If yes, can consider this MacBook (but you'll need to bootcamp for games):
15.6"
Apple MacBookPro 15" (Retina Display), i7-4750HQ + Nvidia GT750M + 512GB SSD + (2880x1800)@RM8499[2.02kg], 16GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX
*Prices in RRP, you are eligible to discounted price for Apple products if you are a student  icon_rolleyes.gif

* For Dell products, use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years  thumbup.gif
I would recommend going for the Dell, its warranty is very nice to have for a student (fixed within 1-2 business days)

Eh,sifu,cannot belanja lah. sweat.gif tongue.gif
But don't have any latest lightweight?If 2kg,very heavy for me lah.... sweat.gif

Also,I don't really think Mac suitable.Preferably Win OS or other OS(like Ubuntu/Linux) that same with the lecturer's laptop OS.
