Need your expert opinions.

1. Preferred Brand: Any (leaning towards illegear, but i don't live in KL so warranty/repairs are problematic)
2. Budget: RM5.2-5.3k at most
3. Usage: Heavy gaming, almost desktop replacement
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 17 inch preferred, minimum 15 inch

5. Need SSD, enough for OS

Should I wait a few months for the new generation of graphic cards?
Thank you for recommendations smile.gif

Its better to wait for next generation Polaris or Pascal gpu with true performance leap coming this summer holiday.  brows.gif

Else, u can consider customizable
- Cyberforge S15EV (same like Illegear S5) with triple fans cooling,
- Illegear Z5 or new Z7 with attractive design
- Gigabyte P55w

Price is rsp, nego with seller.  icon_rolleyes.gif

My budget is only about RM5k. If I waited few more months, can I expect the next gen GPUs in the laptops within my budget? Or can only find them in the 6-8k range?

Thanks! But 5.3k is really my upper limit. Guess I have to settle for "moderate gaming".

Really interested in Z7 but also curious about Pascal.

EDIT: Sorry, realised I should've merged with my previous post.
