If comparing these 2 model, I would choose Asus. As you really don't care about Asus bad warranty.
I doubt GE62 will have better cooling than Asus as it is slimmer. But still need to read more actual gaming reviews before I can be sure. Now there is too little reviews regardng GE62 so....
AW 15 or 17 is also good option. Their price spec ratio is not as OP as last time.
Clevo model is also a good choice.

IMHO, if only these 2 model, Asus win.

Hi DragonRiderStar,

Thanks a lot for the recommendation. However it is about a thousand out of my budget (I need to buy the OS dan Office too.) Checked it out.. wow, gorgeous beast.

Can I ask for a lower-priced recommendation?

1. Preferred Brand: Anything
2. Budget: Below 3.5K
3. Usage: Web browsing, make documents/presentations (MS Office/Powerpoint), clear audio.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13-15 inches
5. Extra Info : Preferably Windows OS (I'm more familiar with it than any other user interface. Good keyboard and touchpad. Extendable battery life (if possible)
Additional request: If possible, a hybrid laptop if one is available and within budget. Thank you!

Ya haven't seen enough user review on msi ge62 2qf.that asus still got sound issue is it?(sound coming from sub only)

Well I'm not Asus ROG user so I can't answer you that, you need to find out yourself. Sorry
But comparing based on price and spec, Asus ROG is a good choice.
Also, please go and find today's thread, titled Alienware 15.
The guy is offering a very good price for AW15. RM5.6k something.. SSD + 970m and 3 years Pro warranty from Dell..
You may consider that also

Sifu, will the model X452LD have adequate cooling system for normal use? My friend bought a X453LD, but when I first time saw it, I was like "lol , cant detect any outlet for hot air to come out..."

Yeah. It does have one.

I think his model is Asus x453MA, which use low power intel celeron N2940 processor ( bay-trail ) with low TDP, even passive cooling is enough for it.

Btw, i'm not sifu. Just a casual forumer here.

I haven't bought gadget for some time so I am out of sync with the trends. Now my work needs me to buy a notebook was seeing this dell is a good spec

Guys my budget for notebook is about 3k at the moment very interested with this. Is this a good buy. I have a few questions, hope some sifu can help.

my usage time all in one including
gaming, photo shop, illustrator, video processing and editing.

1) will anytime soon dell might come out an updated version?

2) any alternative options similar or better than this spec within my budget of 3k.

3) from the trending of this notebook and offer maybe during pc fair how low can the price get? I got offer for rm3159 with free bag. Is this the cheapest?

4) any recommendation seller for this model online?

5) can this be upgradable to ssd?

6) from sifu estimating how future proof is this notebook?

7) any major problems with this notebook, I want review from user not, reviewer or seller.

thank you all

Dell inspiron 5547.. so option I can think of at such a low budget of dell.. Lenovo hv a few I think

Acer v3-371, i5-5200u, 4gb ram, 500gb sshd, 13.3" full hd display, 1.5kg.
Dell latitude with i3-4005u
As for Lenovo, i think only s410 and thinkpad edge e440 i3 version fit into your budget. Most laptop today are equipped with discrete gpu.


Dell inspiron 15 3542, i3-4005u, 4gb ram, 15.6" hd, windows 8.1

Thanks for the recommendation. But too late, im just read it..
I already bought Lenovo Y40-70.

Hope this laptop is OK.
