1. I have been extremely happy for my Lenovo T420, but it's a tad bit slow, and the battery is all but dead.
2. Depends what I get for the money. I'd rather spend 4000 on a great laptop that fits my needs, than spend 3000 on one I will regret, or wish was better.
3. I do a lot of photoshop/illustrator work. I also like to play the occasional modern game, so it would be great if it could run modern games.
4. 13"-14".

Add on:
If it had an SSD that would be great! It shouldn't be too heavy, since I carry it around a lot.
I had a look at the Razer Blade 14", and it would be perfect, except that it is insanely expensive, and I don't really need a resolution that high. A full HD screen (preferably with no glare) is enough.

I walked across these: Gigabyte P34G v2 and U24F/U24T, and was also looking at the Lenovo laptops, but I can't seem to figure out what is available in msia.

It's too big, and the battery time is really bad on it - probably because of the screen.

But a good suggestion, thanks :-)

2. MAX rm 5000.
3. I do a lot of photoshop/illustrator work. I also like to play the occasional modern game, so it would be great if it could run modern games - meaning it needs to have a dedicated card, or an HD5000.
4. 13"-14", no bigger than that. Also want to keep it around the 2kg mark.

I saw that many recommend the Alienware 14, but since I also use this for work, I can't arrive with an Alienware design laptop.
