- super lightweight (below 2kg : best 1.6~1.9 ) - for petite women
- size : best 14 inch as the bigger the heavier
- graphic card able to most of the play games smoothly with mid/high setting (here are some example of games : left for dead 2 , Diablo 3 , Dota 2 , bio-shock )
- budget : below 2k if possible

Really hope you guys could help as I am really newbie with computers.

Thanks in advances !

I have research on this laptop it fit perfectly as my requirement but sadly this laptops con is get overheated easily .... The sgd price for this laptop on 2013 sitex is $2098
But still it quite heavy but with a excellent performance.

The link i gave shows the price is 1599 from pcdreams. There isnt many laptops that fit that description since the razer blade is overpriced and asus/lenovo systems are over 2kg. I myself use a y410p which is cheap and good if u get it from msia but the drawback is the weight.

Ohh that true because I been searching quite a while couldn't find any other then Msia brand fit my requirement , anyway which model series are you referring to as I found out ge40 have quite a few series.

Which part of Msia did you purchase from for your y410p? Does it come with international warranty ? Or only warranty at Msia?

I have though of buying from Msia but do not have trustable shop and worried for the warranty.

Just find lenovo retailler at city square. Its 2 year international warranty. More info you can get from www.lenovo.com/my on laptops y series and the top right "where to buy". Just click on the link from my other comment and look for the ge40 which is $1599. Only got one. Also, the y410p would be too heavy for your liking. I would advise you against it.

Also you might want to ask them about the screen of that laptop. They say HD+ and 1920x1080 which is weird since HD+ is 1600x900

 

[kerinloke]

Hmmm the link given has two different model one is GE40-20C and one is GE40-20L.
The difference is only the screen ? I guess....

Aftershock XG13 or GE40 MSI will be a better choice?

I like the msi more but you can choose the afteshock if u dun mind a smaller screen but doesnt overheat.

is overheat not quite a big issue if I have a cooler fan or in air con environment ?

Do you know if the MSI GE40 battery is external or internal ? as in able to take out or built into the laptop?

Its removable. A cooling fan would definitely reduce the temperature of your computer, so will air con. By how much, depends on your selection of cooling fan and the temperature of your air con. Idk much about fans so i cant help u here.

drivers issues. just update them and it should be fine. Cons i would say its the 2nd graphics card ultrabay that is probably never gonna get released, the weight and the build quality is not that good. But what can u expect from a 3.2krm com.

i just get few days only. Cant provide you with the information u need. 3.2k rm about 1.2k sgd or so. very cheap. you cannot get comparable performance at the price range at all.

u can remove the dvdrom and replace with a hdd caddy and put the ssd in there. the caddy will cost about $30 though.

As I know, MSI notebook comes with first year international warranty and second year local warranty. Correct me if i'm wrong.
