1. Preferred Brand: Asus or Lenovo or other brands.
2. Budget: RM 2000 - RM2599
3. Usage : Editing photos, Microsoft Office, some movies or anime. Still need an ODD due to the ancient methods still being practiced.  sweat.gif  Looking for portability with practicality. tongue.gif     
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15 inches

**Did some browsing and research, so it came down to Asus K551LN-XX251H or Lenovo Z50-70. As these 2 models have roughly the same specs, just minor differences in terms of their CPU and GPU, very minor. So I was wondering which would be better, more like in terms of quality and support.
As notebookcheck.net has only a review for the Lenovo Z50-70 but not for the Asus K series. So I hope someone could shed some light on which brand would fare better.

Thanks  biggrin.gif

Asus is definitely out when it comes to warranty services laugh.gif

2) RM3000 < Budget Here < RM3500
3) Assignment, Browsing Web, Solidwork, autoCAD, and mostly Gaming
4) >15.6" ~ the larger the better

= laptop ventilation must be good

Thank you  smile.gif

You need a higher budget for that "Gaming Laptop" tag bro laugh.gif
Notebooks at your budget range don't really have superb ventilation unfortunately...

Best you can get is probably this one:
15.6"
Lenovo
