QUOTE(leyl97 @ May 21 2018, 06:46 AM) Thanks for the recommendation . What about y520? Is it any good? Can I know of the 3 which is the better one overall and display-wise? Slightly worse CPU (7300HQ), slightly worse build quality, worse battery life. Only get it if you need more GPU performance

QUOTE(mydragoon @ May 25 2018, 02:42 PM) dell G7. i checked based on the specs i mentioned... seems so much higher... You can't find a laptop that can meet ALL your requirements with that budget. For that budget Dell G7 is the best. G3 needs some tuning for better thermals, also slightly worse build quality. This post has been edited by ZM Fong: May 25 2018, 05:03 PM

QUOTE(Slick69 @ May 26 2018, 04:13 PM) -Thunderobot 911 SE -Acer nitro 5 with 1050 4gb -Asus TUF FX504 Thunderobot laptops are based on Clevo barebones. Also, all options above have cooling issues (911 SE and FX504 have terrible cooling, base model with worse CPU will help in better thermals)

QUOTE(KLboy92 @ May 27 2018, 08:19 AM) budget under Rm2,000 Asus Vivobook x441 HP 14 series Vivobooks and HP Pavilion/generic line are very mediocre. Especially build quality. Consider Chuwi stuffs, most of their laptops have IPS panel which is great for your use case. Also acceptable build quality in general.

QUOTE(klnoobie @ May 27 2018, 04:31 PM) Hi everyone, appreciate your recommendations: 1. Preferred brand : anything reliable or has good warranty 2. Budget : prefer below RM3K but can be a bit higher 3. Usage : Stock research and trading, TV / movies, spreadsheets, word processing 4. Screen Size : 13"-14", 5. Other requirements : will probably need 8GB RAM, usually hv 15-20 browser tabs open when doing research, prefer below 1.8kg I'm looking at the Lenovo Ideapad 510S and 710S, are these models any good? No brand is 'reliable', it mainly depends on model and luck Consider Acer Swift 3 14 (SF314-54, new model), just need RAM upgrade. Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 also OK but need RAM+SSD upgrades. Dell Vostro 5471 too if you don't mind the fairly small battery (may need RAM and SSD upgrade depending on which variant).

QUOTE(bitebug @ May 30 2018, 12:22 PM) Is it worth it to opt for the 120hz TN panel for the Alienware 15 instead of the 60hz IPS? I wanted to wait for the new Razer 15 but apparently they won’t have G-Sync Yes, much better gaming experience. If you don't mind viewing angles Please avoid Razer laptops. Terrible quality and QC.
