congratz for new thread and happy new year guys

asus A555LF are not a bad laptop
it's sufficient with all your needs
and if you can, try upgrade ram up to 8gb to make your multitasking experience more smooth

if i were you, i choose the laptop that came with ssd
for the sims 4, the N16V-GM graphic card can play that game with medium setting in hd resolution

you can try look up Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA-FV0111T comes in price below 1.5k
and it also has battery life up to 8 hours

Asus ROG GL552JX has all your needs especially for gaming with its nvidia gtx950m that has no problem playing games in medium setting and this laptop weight also not too heavy so it's easy to carry around

Asus ZENBOOK UX305FA comes with 128gb ssd and very light with its 1.2kg weight and with sleek and elegant design that's suitable for a lady but unfortunately it doesn't come with other storage like 500gb sata only the ssd are available
this problem can be overcome buy using external hardisk if still need a huge storage.

can try take a look HP Pavilion 15-ab238TX comes with nvidia gt940m good for gaming with medium setting

HP Pavilion 15-ab238TX are sufficient for your requirement but if possible can try upgrade your ram up to 8gb which is good for autocad usage.

iinm illegear z5 with gtx970m comes with 5.5k price tag
if you really care about after sales service, choose dell inspiron 15 7559 since dell are famous for their excellent warranty and after sales service compared with asus which is notoriously known for their bad after sales service (in malaysia only)
if you not really care about those thing, you can opted Asus ROG GL552VW instead asus g551 where Asus ROG GL552VW has up to date specs (skylake processor and DDR4 ram) and it comes with 128gb ssd too
and if possible can try to upgrade ram up to 8gb since games nowadays are starting demand for 6gb above to play smoothly.

you can try take a look at Lenovo Ideapad Y700, not bad after sales service, long lasting battery that can last up to 6 hours for browsing, and has a good cooling system but i cant guarantee that 960m can be a future proof till 3 years unless it was 970m or 980m that can be future proof till 3 years
if u insist to have a very good after sales service, Dell Inspiron 15 7559 is the answer but bear in mind this laptop doesn't come with IPS panel.

Asus ROG GL552VW is good for all your need
it has 128gb ssd, backlit kb, good cooling system and after sales service in singapore for asus are quite good

Asus K401LB is good for your need
weight around 1.6kg, battery can last till 6 hours, cool enough to use on lap, thin profile
but it doesn't come with ssd, you might want to upgrade to ssd by yourself but bear in mind it will void your warranty if you upgrade by yourself..you should send to asus center service if you want to upgrade to ssd

can try take a look at Dell Inspiron 14 5459 for your requirement
have a good battery life that can last around 6 hours, comes with 6th gen processor and it's Dell which is has a very good after sales service in here unfortunately it doesn't come with ssd but you can try add the ssd by yourself.

what kind of game do you play?
HP Pavilion 14-ab111TX comes with nvidia GT940m which is pretty good to play modern games at low-medium setting (depends on game too)
about HP after sales service im not quite sure whether their after sales sarvice are good or not

Asus ZENBOOK UX305FA
-the battery can last up to 10 hours
-very lightweight 1.2kg
-1080p FHD IPS panel

for those requirements, i suggest Lenovo ThinkPad E550 for you
-outstanding battery life than can last up to 9 hours for web browsing
-as we all know the keyboard and trackpad from Thinkpad line are really good for those who concern about keyboard and trackpad experience
-build quality for this laptop also very good too
but the after sales service for Lenovo pretty sure cant fight with Dell but their after sales service still pretty decent though
and for the speakers im not quite sure whether this laptop can give you a loud and clear sound but this problem can be fixed with external speaker or bluetooth speaker.

HP Pavilion 15-ab245TX price around 3k it's good for your need unfortunately it doesn't come with ssd but you can upgrade it by yourself later.

Asus A455LF-WX063T price around 2.1k comes with nvidia gt 930m 2gb and intel 5th gen

Asus A555LF price 2.3k

Dell Inspiron 14 5459 price 2.5k have a good processor for your requirement

Asus K401LB-FA003H RM2.6k

Dell Inspiron 14 5459 RM2.5k

HP Pavilion 14-ab111TX RM2.5k

Asus A455LF-WX063T RM2.3k


if you very concern about gaming performance with very good warranty, topup a little bit take Dell Inspiron 15 7559 price RM3.4k (no windows)
it comes with gtx 960m that can play most modern games at medium-high setting 1080p
but if your budget cant go above 3k, Dell Inspiron 14 7447 price RM2.8k is good for gaming with their gtx 850m, try to visit this thread for review of this laptop

for your requirement i suggest Dell XPS 13 price at RM5k
-weight around 1.2kg
-good for all your needs
-screen size is 13 inch so the size are not too big
-sleek design

if you intended to play other games which required a quite demanding gpu power, can consider Dell Vostro 14 V5459 price at RM3.5k or Acer TravelMate P6 TMP645 price at RM4.5k

since you really concern about battery life over gaming performance, i recommend to you Lenovo ThinkPad T440p price at 4.5k++, it has an excellent battery life that can last up to 10 hours for web surfing but it only use nvidia gt 730m so its only can play in low setting for star wars battlefront 2015

if you cant tolerate with low setting when playing star wars, can try take a look at Asus G551JW price at 4.4k, can play modern games at medium-high setting 1080p and the battery life are quite decent that can last up to 4.5 hours for web surfing same like illegear z5

i5 igpu can handle mmorpg games with medium setting without any problem but it cant played AAA games with medium-high setting, you gonna need a dedicated graphic card like gtx 960m and above to play AAA games with medium-high setting

those laptops i recommend comes with 6th gen processor except Acer comes with 5th gen processor

these days laptops mostly comes with windows 8 or 10, very rarely they comes with windows 7
must downgrade the OS by yourself but the budget to buy retail windows 7, quite pricey though
if you okay with pirated version then i can suggest some laptops that meet your requirement within that budget

Asus A555LB-XX410T price at 2.9k should be enough for your needs
but if you use it for playing more extensive modern games, try take a look at Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7 price at 3k, its using gtx950m so it can handle any modern games in medium-high setting.
