Hi sifus,

Planning to buy my first ever laptop within the next few days as I'm out of the house a lot now and no chance to use my desktop d....

(desktop bought in 2015 - i5 4460, 8gb ram, Asus mobo b85mg, intergrated graphics)

Going to lowyat for look see look see 2moro but best know what I'm looking for first.... otws sure will be walking around like headless chicken
1. Preferred brand :
any , as long specs gives best bang for bucks
(1 that is durable and has reputation that lasts)
(so far few friend mentioned ASUS )
(Read through some of the stickies and gathered a few brand names which garnered bad feedbacks but will not bring up here, so not to spoil this thread )

2. Budget :
2.5k maxxxxx
(Don't mind spending a bit more as long as I can stretch my ringgit (durable and can last the extra few years)

3. Usage :
home/ use a lot of internet browsing/ work (Microsoft office) / light gaming .. though I don't even play any games on my desktop, but just in case

4. Screen Size : does not really matter - as long can fit in my bag pack ... I am a male so not too small I guess. And must be clear and easy for the eyes (1 of the reasons I never liked laptops in the past is bcoz it's very strenuous for the eyes)

Pls provide suggestions plz..
as all this while I never liked to use laptops ... hopefully with some inputs frm sifus here and window shopping with 1 of my tech friend 2moro , hopefully can get 1 that will change my perspectives of laptops. Lol.

Thanks in advance !

Hi guys..
Would like to ask here..
Finally i decided to go for Lenovo Legion Y520 notebook..
And, i saw seller printed gpu spec stated its gtx 1050 ddr5 4gb..and i ask the seller is the Ti version or not... Seller told if ddr5 4gb gpu it is the Ti version.. Just they didnt print it with Ti.
Is this true?
Btw.. Its Y520 15ikbn model rm4219.. Where i know it should not the Ti version.
Thanks

thats means.. that lenovo y520 (gtx1050 ddr5 4gb) he recommended was not Ti version? as fa i googled... y520 wit price rm4219 should be non Ti version..

Update: The seller have made a mistake and just confirmed its non Ti version.. 

thanks btw..

how much difference between gtx1050 and gtx965m (im currently using msi ge62)?
i did found out acer vx15 have lower price for 1050ti but not really like the design, and commando's or illegear hv good price too, but i try to prioritize stock from local store 1st rather order and courier one (im from sarawak)..
dell 7567 really catches my eyes with its design..but the screen.. really that bad?

Thanks bro..  But gtx1060 over my budget limit..  Max i can go for gtx1050ti... Now for best price and specs.. Its between illegear or commandos..  Its headache choosing 😂😂😂...

1. Preferred brand : Any
2. Budget : RM2000 max
3. Usage : digital painting/coding, with occasional light gaming(don't think this really matters)
4. Screen Size : Preferably 13" or above Must have good screen (IPS?)
5. video card : Anything will do
6. dvd\cd tray: Nice to have but not necessary
7. RAM : 8GB

Will go to uni for comp. sci course this year, would like to know what good options are available out there. I was planning to get a 2nd hand Thinkpad but it's quite hard to find one with good screen.

Alternatively, should I get a MiniATX case for my PC instead? If that's the case I will upgrade the CPU and monitor too but I'm afraid it's too much of a hassle to bring a PC to uni. I do have a slow laptop (Pentium Sandy Bridge) which might be ok for coding but struggles to run digital painting software.

I am considering either one of these 2 laptops.

Lenovo Legion Y520-50MJ

Or

Dell Inspiron 7566-30414G-W10

4GB DDR4
1TB
NV GTX960 4GB

Im stuck in deciding between these 2.
The downside of the Lenovo is the small battery.. which is almost half the battery life of the Dell.
Im currently leaning towards the Dell because of it's longer battery life.
But, I've also heard some feedbacks from others that it is much better to get the GTX 10-series compared to the 9-Series..

Is the GTX 1050 and the 7th gen processor that much of a jump in terms of performance for my usage?
My Usage : Mainly Programming and Coding (CS Student), MS Office, Browsing and Gaming (Overwatch, Dota2, CSGO)

I need help from help from all the experts here to make the best possible purchase. Appreciate all your feedbacks and opinions.

Then maybe this is a better buy.

8th gen processor would surprised  u
quote from Laptopmedia
Intel Core i7-8550U for CPU intensive work?

What if you need a machine for CPU intensive tasks like working with Adobe Photoshop? Core i7-8550U can be a perfect assistant, just make sure you have enough RAM and preferably fast SSD storage.

Our test shows that Core i7-8550U’s performance in Adobe Photoshop is much closer to the most powerful mainstream i7 CPU – 7700HQ than to its predecessor i7-7500U.

Oct baru release.. Nov stock in.. the upgrade model for 7567 more exciting.. 6core... starting 4899 for i5

more core doesnt means good as well just advantage.. but for sure it will draws certain ability or potential in terms of battery life.. + pricing..    normally

draws back i meant.. lol.. but well.. yea.. more cores.. giving advantages too

yes... but, if for desktop... i will go for ryzen tho...
