yea laptops have too many problems. thts why i gave up gaming on them. idrather game on my phone now(which i occasioanyl do in school) than on a laptop

Hahaha on the phone? That's not exactly fun, FPS's on phones are bad!

 

Well i don't know too much about laptops to be honest. But anything from asus,msi or lenovo should be a good bet^^

And since those are windows based laptops i'd suggest picking up a copy of microsoft office (or a free equivalent). exel is really nice to have while studying.

True, wondering what people will recommend here

this one has a 14.1 inch screen and Intel Iris Graphics which are fine for gaming. It has a base of $1029, but if you want you can upgrade some parts of it.

This was quite good, but Iris graphics! If I got a laptop for gaming I think Nvidia would be better :/, I know I'm picky, I'm sorry.

Nvidia is better, but the only laptop in your size with mobile Nvidia graphics that is good is the Razer Blade. Sorry, but this is going to probably be one of the best you can get. I will continue looking, but dont expect 765M/770M/780M, expect 750M/755M. Look into the Lenovo Y500P. Those are 14" and they have 750M's and are about $1,100.

I was actually looking for that one when I found the one with the Iris graphics. I never found it. Congrats! I would estimate around 6 or 7 pounds.

I'm not gonna get 2 laptops as I stated in the comments, I'm only gonna get one either more for studies or gaming. And which GE40 do you recommend? There are more than one. I don't think I'll get Dragon eyes though as I will be looked at as that nerdy kid who just plays games :(

Don't let that influence your choice, if it's the best option get it. You can always cover it up with a case. Get the best spec you can afford!

This one looks great too, as well as the battalion one, but do you know how the battery life is?

No Idea. It will most likely last maybe 1/3 of a day with mainstream use (Twitch, Word, Chrome, etc) and probably half that when gaming.

I guess so, looking at the MSI ones now. Not sure if I can find cases for this laptop though!

No body mentioned the 14" Alienwares yet. No idea if they ship to Asia. 

 

http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-14/pd.aspx#overrides=dkcwg01h:6~GT7652

 

In the first column, select the 765M in the Video Card section. That brings it to $1,250.

Well under 14" on CPPC you can only get integrated gfx. With that 15" you get a 770/780. 

Take that back: 13.3" with 765m http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X3-9100_Gaming_Notebook
