Hey ptrfaith91,

If you're willing to spend a little above RM4k then you can consider the MSI GE62 2QE @RM4,199

Intel i7-4720HQ
Nvidia 960M 2GB GDDR5
8GB DDR3 RAM + 1TB SATA HDD (7200RPM)

It's comparable to the Illegear Z5 v1 pricing but with a 960M GPU. However, if you got your own copy of OS then can save some $$$ with the Illegear model.
MSI new GE series can also support SuperRaid2 that uses 3x SSD in Raid0 format for fast read/write speeds. Good for accessing large files. Next best thing is single SSD.

For architecture, and when you are doing modeling and simulations, you really need a Quadro Card instead. But if no budget then next best thing is to buy a notebook with a fast CPU. Quad Core preferred.

Hope this helps. Happy Shopping!!

phone is not same with laptop.. erm, in terms of comfortable whn typing with da keyboard.. i'll go for lenovo... hp function keys is kinda weird for me..

erm, warranty not a prob.. its the service after sales so bad tke longer time

yea...Quadro is too expensive now still cannot afford...thanks for the nice info will check it out...however now Illegear has new model with GTX960m too but 4gb while the MSI only 2gb...

Acer E5-571G-63CGs, i5-4210U + Nvidia 840M@RM1999[2.5kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8.1; colours: red/brown/silver
Dell Inspiron 15, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399[2.25kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell W8SL
Dell Inspiron 15, i5-4200U + AMD HD8670M @[2.25kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell; W8.1SL@RM1849
HP 15-r011TX/r026TX/r027TX, i3-4030U + Nvidia 820M@RM1649[2.23kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8.1; colors: black/silver/white

4gb and 2gb... if u wan run on FHD/UFHD external monitor, then, u can consider the 2gb/4gb

1. Preferred Brand - nothing in particular, something with a long warranty or the option to extend it. using an old xps now, but the new ones are above budget.
2. Budget - 4k +/-
3. Usage - work, movies, web surfing and gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15 inch. 1080p.
hoping to get something that can play, doesnt have to be on the highest settings, any game that i throw at it for the next year or two. and something that looks good.
was looking at the envy 15 q203tx (love the looks and touchscreen, but gtx850 ) illegear z5 (love the specs, but the looks.)
i know this seems a bit much to ask for in my budget.. but hopefully you guys can help me out.
thanks guys.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus or Dell
2. Budget: Below RM2.2k
3. Usage : Mostly web browsing, office work, watching movie, general usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14/15 inch (as long as the weight is suitable to bring around.

I actually have 3 models in mind:
Asus A455LD-WX146H 14" (i5-5200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT820M, W8.1)
Dell Inspiron 14 5448-20452G-W8 (i5-5200U, 500GB, 4GB, AMD M265, W8.1)
Dell Inspiron 14 3443-20452G-W8 (i5-5200U, 500GB, 4GB, NV 820M, W8)

Other than the general specifications, what are the difference among these models? (eg battery, sound, build quality)

Thank you very much.

Thanks. Where do you guys recommend buying a laptop from? Is Lowyat plaza a good place for making a purchase?

I think the new Z5 is also priced at RM4k something. Similar to GE62.
If you got unlimited budget, no need to get quad core, there is 6 core cpu already.

1. Preferred Brand:Any Brand
2. Budget: Below RM 1.5k
3. Usage : for study programming ( information system engineering )
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 / 15.6 , if possible Windows tablet .

Thanks for your help

yeah... a lot of variation of notebook.. and try get lower price as u can.. buy w/o free gift will reduce the price too. (laptop cleaner, free mouse, or watsoever its free) u dont need that dont u i think all worth rm100+ but if u want other place also can.. its up to you. jz mke sure warranty issued by the manufacture itself.

Windows tablet? i bet u need use freeDos and install ur own OS (win7ult).. might be some Programming Language cant run properly in win8 and above.. some crash a lot too

thank for your reply !
i still have some question .
for programming that not require powerful hardware?
so,the Intel pentium or celeron quad core processor can handle ?

I forgot to add that I prefer an internal DVD drive as well. Seems like most variants don't have an optical drive these days...

yes you do not need powerful hardware.
in fact if you are in comp sci, you would learn to optimized your codes well enough to be below certain complexity.
as you are studying, the problems would not be complex at all.
other hardcore programming tasks (classification, machine learning etc) would not run on a laptop anymore (no matter how powerful your laptop is).

from my experience, get a mobile laptop with good battery life for quick coding etc (i am teaching CompSci in Monash) and if you can a SSD in it.

ps: get a dual core i5 for your processor, at least 8gb ram and a ssd

x nd powerful hardware.. but u a compatible software that run on ur laptop.. celeron is ok.. since celeron is kinda server processor.. i3 is more than enough already..

yeah... since they want to make it slimmer and portable.. they remove the dvd bay.. if u rarely use dvd drive, then.. its good. if u need, u might need to purchase external dvd
