It's actually him. Looks like he's the veteran around here, huh?

Hey ApostLes',

How come you don't poison your cousin and intro illegear to him? Anyways, got issue with your z5 like the hinge cover, speakers pecah or spacebar?
Read that some other user had minor issues with their illegear notebooks.

For your cousin, he should look out for all the old 800M stock thats clearing now. At last PIKOM Fair, MSI selling GP6060 2PE for RM2,999 with RM99 for 128GB SSD upgrade.

the GP60 2PE is using Intel i7-4710HQ processor and Nvidia 840M GPU

Is it possible for your cousin to top up to 4k ? So he can get Z5, with the CNY promotion (till 5 March). It is quite a good deal, got free SSD + wifi card upgrade + ic thermal
Currently for RM3k range gaming laptop, the best bang of buck is Acer V Nitro, but since you don't want Acer then no choice.
gtx860m laptop mostly is >RM3k
gtx850m laptop mostly is RM2.5-RM3k
If he just want an entry level gpu, get Inspiron 7447.

Just make sure, if you're getting >RM3k laptop, it is i7 quad core, 860m or abv gpu and doesn't have heat issue.

Btw, Gratz on your Z5. I'm a Z5 user also

Sorry late reply my illegear z5 seems fine for now although having some difficulty  installig  windows 8.1 but its all good now
I thought it still under warranty u can send back to illegear hq and they will replace or fix it on the spot?

Btw that msi is really good wondering if i can get that spec and price from garage sales?
Ya i bought  mine with cny promotion but his budget a little tight only max 3k so i guess maybe inspiron 7447?

Is inspiron 7447 good for gaming?  It comes with gtx860 4gb iinm

Thank you!

Dell Vostro 5480, i5-5200u, gt830m, 4gb ram, 14' hd, win8.1, 1.6kg. Upgrade warranty to 3 years.

btw, you can check the specs from dell website. They have many configurations with different price.

Well he got a lot of jalan. Just ask him got i7 unit or not lo. I personally prefer i7 since I multi task a lot (mobile programming). With virtual machine and IDE running. I need quite an amount of ram and processing power.

Well, if you insist on MBA 13'', then we can't do much though, since you already decided.
If you're still willing to change your choice, DEFINITELY DON'T GET MBP or MBA for gaming
The price and spec is just too OP.

With about RM4k, you can get Acer V Nitro or ILLEGEAR Z5. Both is better than MBA in term of spec itself. There is still other option like Asus ROG G551 or Lenovo Y50
I personally suggest getting Acer or Z5 as Asus service is not good and Y50 screen is not good.
Reason for Acer is best bang of buck. Z5 is more expensive but the best cooling compared to other same spec laptop.
All these laptop comes with i7 quad core, which is better than i5 or i7 dual core. In term of clockspeed and computation. And all these laptops come with GTX860m which is way better than integrated GPU.
To put it short, all these laptops offered way BETTER spec than MBA. In term of RAM, CPU, GPU, Display etc etc.

If your casual game is Facebook game then MBA is your choice, if you are willing to spend for an OP laptop. If your casual game is those demanding game or any game which requires a discrete GPU, then MBA is a no go.
Even Dota 2 need a discrete GPU to play it decently (min 60fps).

P/S: Get MBA if you're using a lot of Apps Store apps and is familiar with its OS, what is so good about Apple product is their ecosystem. If you're not into it, then better get other brand laptop.

Thank you for your feedback.

Assuming if I leave gaming aside ( I used to play the whole collection of Sims and online games ), is it ok to go for MBA 13". The gaming laptop is really heavy and I do burn the graphic card before as the laptop is on almost for 24-7 and the laptop cost is near to 5k which the laptop bought in last 4 yrs. 

I try to constraint my use of laptop which is why I pick MBA 13" as the 11" is kinda small. The prob is I do not know which size to take. 256 or 128

Well as I told you, even if you don't want to play game, it is better to go for other laptop instead of MBA. MBA is just TOO OP. With that price you can get better laptop. Most of today laptop is using aluminum so it won't be too heavy. My ILLEGEAR Z5 is 2.4kg with power adapter and battery. May I know what gender are you ? Sorry no offense but if you're a boy/man, carrying 2.4kg shouldn't be a problem at all.

When your laptop is on for 24/7, your GPU won't be on forever as long as you quit your game application. When under normal usage your GPU won't be used (except you explicitly turn it on).
If you're going for SSD, with your RM4k budget, you can get Acer V Nitro with 1TB HDD and add in SSD yourself. And it will be cheaper than MBA also.

IMHO, if you got 4k budget, DEFINITELY get a i7. MBA i7 is just too OP, not worth the price. Acer V Nitro, Lenovo Y50, Asus G551, ILLEGEAR Z5 all of these budget gaming laptop comes with i7 4710HQ which is quad core and way cheaper than MBA i7 version. And these laptop got dGPU somemore. If you really really want light weighted laptop, maybe can go for Lenovo Y50 (but the screen is not good, 40hz only).

P/S: I only encourage Apple product if you're going for its ecosystem, which mean you are mostly using its Apps Store application and familiar with its OS. If you want to play games which is outside from Apps Store, mainly console ported game like BF4 all those, you better get other laptop. (You can still use BootCamp to use Windows OS though, but I'm not sure your hardware can keep up with those game requirement or not, especially MBA doesn't have FAN built in) 

P/SS: If you're using Windows OS on MBA, doing heavy multi-tasking or heavy processing may not be as fast as other laptop.

Which campus? Cyberjaya?

Ya ke ? Melaka campus still okay. Mostly is international student who is using Mac, cause of its world wide warranty. Most Mac user do hackintosh one. Seldom see people stick to only Mac OS. Too limited liao.
People want spend on Mac we also can't do much what. Just hope when actual performance we won't regret lo.
