Ok another one of those, but I am tired of this whole shopping online and comparing so maybe one of you have gone through it already and will save me the hassle of spending hours doing comparisons online:P

Anyway I have a budget of 7-8k (pref 7k), i'd like an i5 cpu, the laptop will be used mostly for photoshop and then dota every now and then as I am travelling. Hard drive space is not an issue, ram ofcourse will be, so not less than 4gig.
 
Dota might require a dedicated amd or nvidia gpu which would mean you would have to up your budget to about R10k. If a dedicated GPU is not required then GAME has a 17" Acer i5 going for R7k.

I run dota 2 fine on my 1.7 i5 ultra book. Intel 4000 graphics xD

I have juuuuuuust the thing for you:

Toshiba Satellite L850 15.6" @ R8191

Intel Quad-core, AMD Radeon graphics, 4GB RAM (up to 16GB) and it's only R500 more than the same laptop in the same chassis, but with a Core i5 dual-core. It'll play anything you throw at it, including DOTA.

Although, Source games run on a lot of things, including Intel HD4000 graphics. But only just within the realm of playability.
