Hello guys smile.gif I'm trying to buy a good gaming laptop to replace my old Alienware M15x model from 2010 - hopefully, cheaper than an AW this time though.

1. Preferred Brand
I don't have a particular preference for a brand. I don't like Acer though.

2. Budget
RM5500.

3. Usage
I'll mainly be playing MOBAs like League of Legends but I also like to play other more intensive games such as the Assassin's Creed series. I'd like a good gaming laptop as I plan to hopefully, use the laptop for 4 years or so. Therefore, I'd like it to be future proof and can handle games that come out in the future as well.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
15" please.

Preferred specs:
At least 960m, preferably 965m or better although I understand that any higher will most likely not fit into my budget.
4th gen i7 - 5th gen would be preferred.
8GB RAM.
SSD is not a must.
A good 1080p display is all I need in terms of display - don't need 4k displays.

The laptop should also have good cooling - preferably dual vents and dual fans.

Since I'm an international student who would likely be moving after finishing my degree, I'd like the brand to have good support service/accessible service centers. I have considered Illegear but I don't know whether Gigabyte/Sager service centers abroad will accept Illegear notebooks.

Other notebooks I have considered include the MSI GE62 2QE and the Asus G551JW.

Please feel free to recommend any and all gaming laptops that fit these requirements. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you smile.gif

Illegear z5 is the best choice... 4.7k + windows OS 8.1

Illegear z5
Dual-heatpipe, Dual-vent and Dual-fan Cooling

another is S5 with Triple-heatpipe, Triple-heatsink and Triple-fan Cooling.. but.. already can do well.

Are there any MSI laptops that could compete with it? I'm assuming Asus is out because of their poor service quality?
