QUOTE(kingdew11 @ May 5 2015, 08:22 PM) 1. Preferred Brand : Lenovo that model no more od... why dont get dell 7447... comes with i7/i5 and gtx850m ddr3.. but pretty decent to run dota 2 at max setting. dota 2 is not graphic demand 2. Budget : around 2.5k 3. Usage : gaming, capable of running dota2 at a decent 60fps 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14" I was thinking Lenovo Ideapad Y410p. But I can't seem to find it online, not even in the official lenovo website. Would it be a good buy? Any other comparable laptops?  the i5... will be around 2.5k while i7 will be around 2.7k (freeDos). but i can say worth to spend for this specs |

QUOTE(maniacz013 @ May 6 2015, 01:56 PM) 1. Preferred Brand : Asus(other than Dell and Acer is okay) the specs is this isnt it? 2. Budget : below 3.5k 3. Usage : gaming(mostly dota2 at 60fps), college stuffs 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15.6" I heard there is Asus GL552JX-DM014H available in Malaysia, but not many shops sell these. Is it true? If it is available, what is the price including GST? ty  i7 4720HQ / 4Gb ram/ 750Gb hdd / GTX950 2gb ddr3/Win8.1 with price more or less 3k .. is it urgent?  the cheapest in garage sales is 2.9k.. in fact.. the price is 3k and below. if ur budget until 3.5k.. then.. use remaining money for upgrade the ram. either to 8gb or 16gb (2x8gb ram).dota 2 is not much graphic demand.. |

QUOTE(maniacz013 @ May 6 2015, 02:16 PM) yes, that one. i also wanted to play MKX on my laptop, so that is why i think this might do. yes.. it shud can perfecly run MKX but on medium setting. another ROG is using gtx860m which is much better than gtx950m... and gtx960m is just rebrand of gtx860m... so performance more or less the same. the recommended requirement system to run MKX is gtx965m... if there is any other recommendations i would gladly accept it |
