Thank for your explaination smile.gif
If that case might opt for non-upgradable graphic card laptop.
Budget below 4.5 or max can go up to 5k. Now eye illegear z5. Is the graphic card good enough to last several year. Been reading this thread from beginning (page1) till now

If you want it to last then take the initiative to upgrade to 970m GTX.

960m GTX is good but you might need to reduce settings as years go by.

MSI is fine as long you buy the new models.

MSI GE 62 / 72 or PE 60 / 70

You do know I'm talking about MSI right?

Below 80 for me it is good. Of course as low as possible is better.

As a HP Envy 15 user myself (with touchscreen), just be prepared with lots of heat. But bear in mind, my i7 is pure quad core not the ULV model though.

The spec can handle the game fine. biggrin.gif

Warranty is good. rclxms.gif

There are complains on this model. The temperature runs a bit too hot, the dedicated number pad is smaller, and the battery life is very very short. This laptop is only good for gamer and not for work imho.  icon_idea.gif

Source?

Would like to read on it.

Since from i have check MSI new model doesnt run that "hot".

Hi sifus,

1. Brand: Any except Acer
2. Budget: 5 - 11k
3. Usage: Programming, internet marketing, office at home. Will plug in 2 external monitors and use all 3 screens at the same time (example common usage: 1 open email/Twitter/social medias, 1 open 40 Chrome tabs, 1 open multiple microsoft Word/Excel/IDE/chrome, etc). Won't be using for gaming, graphic design, or engineering software, but love to multitask as shown in my above example.
4. Preferred screen size - 15 inch (13-14 also acceptable)
Preferred specs: core i7, 16 GB RAM, SSD, great build quality. Not concern about portability (rarely bring outside) but prefer less bulky (less than 3 kg) if possible.

I've hard time finding a laptop I want. Only can find Macbook Pro and Gaming laptop with the specs I want. Dell XPS 15 has hybrid drive not SSD. I found a few Thinkpads that suit me but seems like not selling in Msia. Maybe there's 8GB RAM laptop but with 2 RAM slots for upgrade? Or maybe I should swap HDD to SSD? Need some advice.

Thanks!

If you're not bringing it outside and also since laptop with your preferred spec is overkill and your not gaming would be waste of money while building the rig would be better as more customization and not wasting funds.

For multitasking is to have a lot of RAM which laptops has a drawback which is maximum of 16gb but higher end can have up to 32gb but cost a bomb and you wont be using the hardware as it is intended.

I suggest building a desktop rig then with the remaining budget to get a simple laptop should you need portability. Link for the desktop rig build if you change your mind : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3574076

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate your advice but desktop is a no no for me. Also I like to carry my laptop around the house  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif . Maybe I should get one with lower specs, any suggestion?

No, not low spec because with your prefered spec it has to have a high end spec.

Most of it would be mobile workstation because you intend to use 2 eternal monitors and only mobile workstations has that much input for monitors.

Check out Dell, HP workstation because it has good warranty services and with the amount of money you use. It is best to have a good after sale service.

Since you multitask alot, get the maximum allowed RAM and make it 64 bit OS as they can use more than 4gb of RAM.

If you want max spec (if we are on the same page). RM5k isnt gonna get you one buddy.

Most probably you can get Gtx970m if you squeeze a little bit more.

Look up Illegear or Cyberforge for that matter.

yea was really interested in illegear

is cyberforge any good?

They are using the same Clevo model as Illegear.

Hardware such as GPU and CPU will be the same intel/amd or Nvidia/amd.

The problem is after sale warranty since they are base in singapore but they have set up shop in Malaysia if not mistaken. Look around Lyn thread because there is one Cyberforge thread and ask him/her directly.
