Thank you sifu!

Can check how to identify if one laptop is using dedicated graphic card?

Also if the option 1 HP and 2 Lenovo can consider as not-so-easy-to-overheat ? XD

Help me to choose the best laptop

Hi, I need recommendation for new laptop as im going for working holiday need a light and slim laptop easy for carry.

1. Preferred Brand : LENOVO, ASUS
2. Budget : <2k
3. Usage : Heavy Surfing, Skype, Movie
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : Any
5. Remarks : Light and Slim, not more than 2kg, i3 and above

Dear Sifus,

Need your help in choosing a gaming laptop. Have narrowed down my choices to 2 laptops actually, either Lenovo Y50-70 or Illegear RE 15-EVO.

1. Preferred Brand : as above
2. Budget : 4k-5k
3. Usage : Gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15.6 inch
5. Remarks : Good screen and cooling system

My analysis is as follow -

Lenovo - slightly better specs
- cheaper
- better cooling system
- default screen is kinda poor quality

Illegear - better after sales service
- customizable

There are also a few variants for Y50-70, is the higher spec version worth it? Namely the quality of the screen.


If there are other better alternatives out there, pls do list them out for me.

Thanks in advance.

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : 2.5k
3. Usage : general use, play game (COD, AC in medium setting, for next 2-3yrs as well)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14/15.6

any laptop with extra drive slot/ gt msata space? wanna buy own ssd/msata n install

Thank you for the recommendations went with GP60-2PE

Oh ho, want old but valuable notebooks? You have to look hard yo
Try these:

15.6"
Lenovo
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty
Z500T, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2499[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty

TOshiba
Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:silver/white

These are relatively older notebooks, so they are harder to find, but the prices should be cheaper as well
upgrade to 8GB RAM at least

Recommending these because of the Mobile Processor, which is more powerful

As long as you see Nvidia and AMD, then those are dedicated GPUs already

As for the heat, its hard to tell without individual reviews for each unit... but in general, the thicker the notebook, the better the heat dissipation

14"
Asus K451LN-WX046H, i5-4200U + Nvidia 840M@RM2199[2.1kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8.1

Lenovo Ideapad Flex 2-14, i3-4030U + Intel HD4400 +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM1699[2kg], 4GB, W8, 2 yrs; color: black


*upgrade to at least 8GB RAM (if applicable)

Are you sure the Lenovo Y50 performs better in terms of cooling?

Anyway, too bad you missed the Raya promotion for the Illegear RE-15 EVo haha, its a no brainer

For your requirements, the Illegear is definitely the better choice; opt for the best screen upgrade, get an OS and EITHER extend warranty to 3 years OR get a 128/ 256GB SSD

Imho, anything more than FullHD on any device is ridiculous; especially so for 15-17" notebooks which you intend to game on- the GPU is not powerful enough to support your game anyway, so you have to dial down to FullHD or HD for better performance anyway. As for using qHD for normal browsing, personally I feel everything is too small and I often pressed wrongly (I am a power and efficient user), which can be frustrating (and this is on a 15" notebook, I've used the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which is even smalelr @ 13" some more! Crazy!)

The choice is clear for you, its just a shame you missed the Raya promotion

Y410p?

No idea about the mSATA slot, not enough quota + lazy to check

Try looking for the Lenovo Y410p

Hi all,

What do you think about

Lenovo Yoga 2 13
13.3 inch

vs

Asus TP500L
15.6 inch

Thank you

thank u very much

Noted, thank you T J Shifu =)

Lastly, I heard some nvdia or and GPU would share/utilize the PC RAM, is that real?

Please correct me if I were wrong xP
