QUOTE(DS_Legacy @ Aug 2 2015, 07:21 PM) You can consider the following models: 1. Asus GL552JX-DM174H 15.6” FHD , i7-4720 , 4GB , 1TB , GTX950 2GB , W8.1 : RM3074/- 2. Dell Inspiron 14 7447HD-71814G-DOS Laptop/ Notebook (i7-4710HQ, 1TB, 8GB, NV GTX850M, DOS) RM2,819/- Personally, I would prefer the 7447.  Thanks for your suggestions. But if Dell product quality trustable? As I heard from few of my friends, their Dell laptop always spoil once the warranty period end. Although their service is quite good, but I think if the laptop keep have problem is quite annoying.

As pointed out by Illegear's rep, the GPU is soldered on and cannot be changed. This means that getting the better GPU would result in a better future proof rig as there is no telling if you're gonna get hooked on a more demanding game... Or if you end up hooking your laptop to a 4k monitor Also, its usually cheaper to buy an equivalent RAM and/or SSD upgrade from an IT shop and install it yourself than taking it as an upgrade direct from the notebook manufacturer, which means that you would technically save yourself a few bucks in the long run.

As I heard from few of my friends, their Dell laptop always spoil once the warranty period end. Although their service is quite good, but I think if the laptop keep have problem is quite annoying. Of course it is trustable. Most Inspiron has 2 years onsite warranty. And most importantly, you are the one that need to look after your laptop. Do some maintenance regularly. For instance, repaste thermal paste, clear the dust in your laptop and etc. The more maintenance you do, the longer it will last.

You can also look up Asus GL552JX-DM174H 15.6” FHD , i7-4720 , 4GB , 1TB , GTX950 2GB , W8.1 : RM3074/- You can upgrade them to your SSD. No problem with that I suppose.

If you're using an original version of Windows 8.1 Core or Pro versions AND upgrade within a year, then yes.
