First time use this forum. Anyway, I need recommendations for a medium range laptop for around RM3,000.

The laptop doesn't need to have a high end graphic card because i'm not using it to play. Mostly, i'm using it for programming purposes in the office like developing android app using android studio, games using Unity, websites, etc.

So, I don't really care about the graphic cards as long as it can play Dota 2 without any lag (on Ultra setting if can.. if can't also nvm because not really the main purpose of the laptop, I got my desktop at home for gaming purpose) lol~.

If the laptop comes with a 128Gb SSD for OS files and a 500Gb HDD for other programs and junk, it would be the best.

So, Penang Bros, is there any laptop that fits the requirement above? Can recommend me? thx.. biggrin.gif

950 play dota on ultra can go to 100fps.
if 960 play dota on ultra below 60fps better check out, maybe need to reinstall the driver
