MSI GE62 2QE-006MY Apache	Lenovo Y50-70 5943-8437	Illegear Q5	Dell XPS15
Associate too much with gaming. I just need to get my job done, I don't game that much these days.	Build material bad, plastic feeling?	Not so familiar with this brand, where does this brand come from? Malaysia? Taiwan?	Not sure how this is, but screen is definitely overkill for me.

among all those.. i will choose illegear. Erm, previously know as Clevo (from Taiwan). not so sure from where is their origin. but previously thy knwn as clevo. thats all they focus on high-end gaming notebook.

Got alot name lagi la... they famous OEM brand

Sager, gigabytes, aftershocks, maingear... bla bla bla... I heard more than 10 brands in different country

sager not sure from where, but its related with clevo if not mistaken.. gigabyte also taiwan. . aftershock is singapore custom gaming notebook. the most i never heard is Origin brand. totally no idea. Auros too.

We called them clevo oem

how bout this,
The new Dell XPS 13 (13") RM 4,133.00. the battery life, can be consider.

if still want 14", then can get this Lenovo ThinkPad T440s roughly around Rm4.2k. if dont found any, look at these model

Thinkpad T450 20BU0012MY – 14” + i5-5200U + 8GB ram + 1TB : RM4250 battery Up to 19 hours (95 Wh)
Thinkpad T450 20BU0014MY – 14” + i7-5600U + 8GB ram+1TB : RM4900 battery Up to 19 hours (95 Wh)

Wow.. where can I get a NEW T440s? Many of Lenovo's authorized dealer said tat T440s is out of stock

those spec tat u mention all dual core...

xps 15 tat i suggest longer battery life.. n price rm5000 only... weight 2.1kg+-

latitude e7440 can get better spec wif ssd... n price around RM3500

listed there also T450.. else, myway1985 suggestion also good. xps 15. its up to your choice.. battery life is big matter. if its too big.. xps 13 also another contender

Xps13 wif edge screen... thin till I scare... dunno can tahan or not

sure.. why not. its aluminium exterior which similar to the MacBook Air in sheen and durability. the only matters is xps 13 doesnt have Ethernet port but, nowadays, people all using wifi transmitter which will helps a lot.

Hi aswad1986,

For that budget, you can consider the GE62 2QF Apache and GT72 2QD Dominator. Both have the 970M GPU and are using the latest 4th Gen Intel i7-472HQ CPU.

MSI GE62 2QF Apache Pro @RM5,999
Nvidia GTX970M, 3GB GDDR5
Intel i7-4720HQ
1TB (SATA) 7200RPM
8GB DDR3 RAM
15.6" UHD, (3840*2160) 4K IPS
http://my.msi.com/product/nb/GE62-2QF-Apac...l#hero-overview

MSI GT72 2QD Dominator @RM7,699
Nvidia GTX970M, 3GB GDDR5
Intel i7-4720HQ
1TB (SATA) 7200RPM
8GB DDR3 RAM
17.3" FHD IPS, Anti-Glare (1920*1080)
http://my.msi.com/product/nb/GT72-2QD-Domi...l#hero-overview

The GT72 Dominator is slightly above your budget but has a 17.3" FHD screen. It's also upgradeable with the MXM GPU that it uses. The GE62 Apache on the other hand is cheaper cause smaller screen but its 4K IPS.

Ask around the dealers and see what freebies MSI is giving also. Sometimes got free game that bundle together.

All the best!

Hey wordtalks,

With your usage, i think you can go for a lower end model with entry level GPU cause you're mostly doing programming and browsing right?

Previously recommended MSI GE60 series because of the SteelSeries keyboard (and key mapping functions) and 4K output for external monitors.

You may want to consider that. Or another thing is to compare based on screen quality since you're Youtubing alot.

Out of all those brands, Lenovo Y50 has issues while MSI GE62 has Anti-Glare for better viewing angles. Illegear also got a colour calibration option where you pay a bit more for them to calibrate your screen colour by professionals.

Mca got hinge problem in certain units.. tat wat I concern... the raising number of PPL enquiry new xps13 make me worry for tat...

U know la... those ppl dunno how to take care laptop 1...

Dear all,

1. HP Pavilion 15P247TX
- i7-5500 Processor
- NVIDIA GT840M
- 8GB ram
- 1TB HDD
- RM2959 Senheng promotion
- Can't find any relevant review

2. ACER Aspire VN7-591G-744N
- i7-4720 Processor
- NVIDIA GTX860
- 12GB ram
- 1TB HDD + 8GB SSHD
- RM3699 Senheng promotion
- Mainly overheating issue, touchpad not sensitive.

Which to choose?

p/s: Had cash voucher from Senheng to use, but doubt between this 2 models.

Soo much different performance. ACER Aspire VN7-591G-744N win easily. but.. ur usage?

Mainly office/browsing use, video/movies.
Not into gaming

Need a better battery life one, and maybe better service?

Wanna ask all sifus here on which laptop to buy…currently thinking on changing a new laptop I have no idea to choose 1
My budget is at RM3k
I use my laptop to do some programming(edit GUI and coding), normal gaming(Dota 2 or other normal settings games), watching full HD movies surfing net and others…and I need a nice full HD screen if possible, but the biggest screen I can go for is 15.6 inch I guess...haha
So how all sifus?Thanks in advance! =D

U should ask shenheng where to claim warranty... if refer to Acer n HP then get Samsung... both after sales bad in Malaysia
