QUOTE(mdnurman @ May 3 2018, 10:05 PM) got a shop offer Asus FX503VD i5-7300HQ 4GB RAM 1TB HDD+ 120GB SSD GTX1050 4GB 15.6 FHD TN Win10 Home 2 yrs warranty rm3499 is this worth it? if OK, plan to add 4gb RAM. Not worth it. Y520 is better IMO, much better cooling, IPS panel, priced less and still have money to add RAM and SSD. Maybe can get the i7 model too. Wait for CFL-H models

QUOTE(xiaols0817 @ May 4 2018, 06:26 PM) What if asus rog? Any recommendation on that? Um no, I'll never recommend them. FX and GL series runs too hot, mediocre cooling. Even can't handle a 1050 properly. High end line like Zephyrus M and G series are fine but too expensive, there are better options. Not to mention that Asus gaming laptops have poor QC and QA.

QUOTE(peter32 @ May 8 2018, 02:14 PM) Dear sifu, Here's my spec: 1. Preferred brand : reputable. Reliability would be more important. 2. Budget : RM2500 or less 3. Usage : internet trading (won't be consumptive), youtube or video (lesser), web surfing, simple microsoft office work. 4. Screen Size : 12.5inches or less, prefer 2 in 1 tablet/notebook, small size preferred for mobility. 5. others: Pen optional but preferred. Long battery life would be good, so I don't mind slower chip speed. thank you for the advice. Xiaomi Mi Air 12.5 or Chuwi Surbook/Lapbook 12.3

QUOTE(shiki_arc @ May 10 2018, 02:15 PM) Oh. Anything else you can recommend for that price range? Similar spec wise. Or do you suggest me to hold on purchasing? I don't really need it urgently but having it would be convenient. What's your budget and what are your requirements?

QUOTE(shiki_arc @ May 12 2018, 01:07 PM) Helios 300 I think. Price s 5999. Specs is basically parallel to msi on the same price point. Just design differences. Umm no. Mediocre cooling. It's popular but I wouldn't recommend it.

QUOTE(Slick69 @ May 13 2018, 02:12 PM) MSI GP series has OKish build quality and cooling (especially CPU side). Also poor TN panel on 15 inch models. If you don't mind those then it's an OK buy

QUOTE(catchmeifyoucan @ May 13 2018, 05:32 PM) Hello guys. Planning to get laptop for mainly work and light gaming. Work - Most intensive software will be photoshop Game - Catching up on old games, so i will be playing Witcher 2 / Skyrim / latest Football Manager. All these doesn't even need to be in Max settings. 1. Preferred brand : Any 2. Budget : 3.5k Max with any upgrades etc 3. Usage : 90% work and 10% gaming 4. Screen Size : 15inch and above 5. Others: Will likely be connecting external monitor during gaming (23inch) and will definitely need at least 8GB of ram. Thank you guys for your help. If portability isn't a concern, Dell G7 packs the most power. Yes there are cheaper options with better hardware but G7 has the best build quality and cooling compared to those options.

QUOTE(adriankan @ May 13 2018, 05:40 PM) Hello everyone! Looking at a laptop akin to a Macbook/entry Macbook Pro that combines portability, all day battery life and a good screen. Will use it mainly for light work 1. Preferred brand : Any 2. Budget : 3.5k 3. Usage : Light work 4. Screen Size : FHD max 13.3 inches 5. Others: SSD is preferred, an IPS panel with accurate colours is preferred as well. I understand that this is a tough ask in this price category. Maybe there are laptops that come close with some compromises that I will be able to bare with. Thanks Asus UX331UA (without MX150)
