Hi all sifu, currently are planning to buy a budget gaming laptop
Brand: No specific preference
Price : <3500
Requirement: <15". Quad i5/i7, fhd

I searched some models and ended up with Asus ROG gl552jx-dm174h vs dell inspiron 14 7447 vs Lenovo y40-80

Can sifu comment on the pros and cons of each devices and the best among all? Any other suggestion for this budget? Kamshahamida.

IMHO, despite the powerful speaker and the comfortable keyboard by Lenovo, don't go for the Lenovo Y40-80 if you wanna do gaming most of the time. Currently, Radeon tech is far behind Nvidia. So, try to avoid Radeon graphic card.

Although the ROG comes with FHD and a newer graphic card, GTX950M has the almost the same performance as the GPU in the 7447 (GTX850M). On top of the quality build and design, both 7447 and ROG have some stylish designs but the ROG comes with plastic fabrication, some have given critics on the bad materials to build a gaming laptop.

If you can still manage to find the Dell 7447, don't hesitate and go for it. Quality build, powerful processor, decent graphic card performance and good after sales service from Dell.  The only drawback of getting the 7447 are the weight and also the VGA port. To some people, VGA port is very important but if I am not mistaken, Dell does give out the HDMI to VGA converter for free. And also since you are comparing between 7447 and ROG, both of them are heavy. So, go for the 7447. biggrin.gif

Hope this less than impressive comparison helps a bit in your hunting process. Cheers. thumbup.gif

Hi sifu, seeking for some gaming laptop and the following is the requirement
Brand: Any but reliable and good after sale service (Just in case since he is not staying around kl)
Price: :Max 5k (Lower better which around 4.5k)
Usage: Engineering software, minor photoshop, programming, hardcore gaming like bioshock, gtav, etc etc)
Requirement: 15.6" screen, i7 (better in skylake),FHD, GTX960, windows included

Currently I didn't have any idea but did survey some laptop like fell inspiron 7559,asus gl552vm...I saw some comments here saying that the 7559 price hiked up already. So any comment from all the sifus? Please suggest some models to me if possible. =D

Thanks in advance

You can pretty much ignore Asus if you want a good after sales service. Go for the Dell 7559. The price may hike at certain places but still a very reliable laptop. And importantly, it fulfills almost every single requirement of yours. It's gonna be worth it for sure. biggrin.gif

PS: you can consider i5 for a cheaper price. biggrin.gif
Dell 7559 i5. Use the remaining budget to upgrade M.2 slot to SSD biggrin.gif

Hi thanks for replying. Basically if I didn't include after sale service, any difference between these 2 models? Like in term of coolinf system etc etc? Price wise it seems like asus is cheaper compare to dell.. The most important is,, the UHD is a waste since won't really optimize that features. That's why aiming for FHD.... Illegear z5 seems to be nice but no windows included. Any other suggestion other than these few models? Thanks yea
