hi guys need help here for a gaming laptop around price range of 4.5k below

1. Preferred Brand : Any, as long as built quality is good + ventilation
2. Budget : 3.5k to 4.5k
3. Usage : Gaming, Photo editing ( Lightroom ,Photoshop )
4. Preferred laptop/screen size 15 Inch

*Would like an extra SSD if possible and a GTX Card

btw as for illegear and cyberforce..
I've selected the custom spec for the illegear z5 and cyberforge s-15
the price diff are as follows : rm4508 vs rm 4592

Illegear z5
+Graphic card of GTX 960 4GB DDR 5
+IC Diamond Thermal compound
-Wifi Intel 7260 dualband

Cyberforge
-Graphic card of GTX 960 2GB DDR 5
+GC Extreme thermal compound
+128GB Samsung M2 SSD
+Killer WIFI

btw whats the diff between intel 7260 dualband and realtek 8723BE? thats the option for the wifi network card of the z5

Others are almost the same, which should i go for?
considering the built quality, does cyberforge up to par with z5's like everyone mentioned?
Thanks in advance smile.gif
*
Both clevo OEM.. I would go for illegear coz its onsite service in Klang valley...

For Photoshop I suggest u take higher resolution display.. like qhd or uhd

Dell Inspiron 7548 uhd touch i7 around RM3500.. but Radeon card... xps 15 qhd+ around RM4700..

hmm... i play starcraft, diablo, battlefield that kind of games.. 
as for screen, i think don't need QHD also can since I'm nt a pro-photog yet.

But that dell xps 15 seems over price thou..

like that i think i left with illegear already...

btw the illegear, if i get the 1TB Toshiba SSHD , do i need a 128GB SSD for programs that i frequently use?

and i've a SSD curently in my laptop's CD ROM slot with it's jacket, can i use it on the Illegear? ( not sure about illegear's built )

btw thanks for replying depite the time @1.30am  notworthy.gif
*
Currently Xps15 is wif uhd.. qhd+ is older stock... FYI Xps15 is Ultrabook.. n most Ultrabook only using intel graphic.. 1 of the reason its expensive becoz it has a GC.. Xps only 1.9kg

Most HDD candy is common slot.. but size Mayb be different

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.  thumbup.gif

Cool, thanks.

Though if i saw correctly, Vostro usually comes with 1 year warranty while Inspiron comes with 2.  biggrin.gif

Cheapest Inspiron i could find is inspiron-14-5458, it's i3 with 4Gb ram priced at Rm1849.
*
Inspiron only 7000 series outlast vostro..

Vostro lifespan very close to business grade.. less problem... vostro 5480 hv some significant improvement compare to 5470... I hate 5470.. alot issues.

its IT conference....

yes... illegear is better than asus..
1- that intel dual band is better
2-ssd might be expensive.. but little storage... 1tb is hybrid hdd + cheaper a bit than ssd + extra storage...
mSata is another  technology that boost up the storage.yes, u can use ur ssd...
3-if not mistaken... yes it can. because its a genuine lisence... but make sure its the same OS (home premium, pro, ultimate)
*
I sure Take the SSD.. 1TB hybrid worthless...

hmm i think i'll go with illegear bah, illegear will be better than Asus ROG rite, correct me if i'm wrong..

I need help with the following regarding illegear parts :
1) WiFi : Which is better? Intel Dual band AC7620 or Reatletk 8723BE?

2) 500GB Seagate SSD or Free upgrade to Toshiba 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive?
   
    if i choose Toshiba 1TB SSHD, can i use my current 128GB SSD? not sure isit mSata or not, but its inside my Asus N56VZ's DVD rom drive with a jacket.

3) Can I use my Windows 7 license from my old laptop n56vz?

Killer WIFI hv lots of good benifits
-usually use for high-performance networking adapters combine intelligence, control and superior wireless networking speed for online games, HD video, and high quality audio. 
-support dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5GHz)
-improve latency and jitter offering significant benefits over competing wireless adapters
-deliver higher data throughput rates over longer distances. 
-offers Bluetooth connectivity to offer the most flexible solution for high-performance networking.

dual band just a normal card...  cant fight killer wifi..

if da ssd/hdd in old computer still good.. can take it... even ram also.. if its ddr3. yes.. still can use..

Tat ts see wrong la.. 500GB sshd... killer WiFi put it simple way.. gaming WiFi card.. haha

thanks for the input sifu  biggrin.gif
weird that they dont have the killer wifi option for the z5, ltr i go ask them and see..

btw as for the graphic card, is it worth to invest the extra rm799 for the upgrade from GTX960 4GB DDR5 to GTX970 3GB DDR5

it seems there's a significant difference base on the bench mark test
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-970M-vs-GeForce-GTX-960M
they provide d is crucial M550 mSata SSD 256 GB for rm569 , 256GB ssd or gtx970 graphic card  hmm.gif
