Hey
Well that Acer notebook looks quite good, it can handle both of those games fine on medium(or high if you lower the resolution)

 

[4ILY45]

Thanks.. but is there anything else that can match/ better than it?

ASUS G60 is a good choice too(if you can find it in Malaysia)

But it lacks portability, battery life & heavy..

Not to mention only the one with the Core i7 version is only available here..

I think that Acer is the way to go..

Yes G60's battery life isn't very well.
The Acer one can play those games fine on medium settings,so its a good choice
