I think performance will be the main concern. I'll go for better cooling,build and display.
*
Performance wise just look at specs.

Cooling: G7≈Raven Elite>Helios 300
Build: G7≈Raven Elite>Helios 300
Display: Raven Elite UHD, Raven Elite 144Hz, G7 UHD are good, for gaming go for 144Hz. Followed by Helios 300 144Hz. Lastly G7 FHD and Raven Elite base panel.

what did u mean by idealpad grade? the build quality? design? speed? performance? price?

I disagree here. Xiaomi Notebook Pro/Air has good build quality (mid range Zenbook level). Performance on the Pro module is excellent due to good cooling.

tat is becoz all the reviewer r told not to stress it... lenovo ideapad hv better stress test result compare to xiaomi..

juz like thunderobot did the crazy drop test.. they just show the pros... cons.. try to bury as many as possible.. did u heard xps 9370 fan r loud in most review.. no right...
*
NBC stress test result no problem? Of course marketing doesn't mean anything to me. Yes I do know that XPS 13 9370 has a quite loud fan noise when heavy stressed.

Dear bros,

I'm looking for a laptop for mom. Last laptop i owned was an IBM with 17" screen for gaming... that was nearly 15 yrs ago lol... so I'm kinda clueless.

1. Preferred brand : None
2. Budget : ~RM5000
3. Usage : Mom does FB, browsing, Youtube, video streaming
4. Screen Size : 15" min

Prefer something that looks modern/nice.
Prefer somethign with a decent speaker.
Very much prefer touch screen.
Prefer if its flipable to be used as a tab like, eg Flex 5 aka Yoga 520
*
Under RM5000 there are little laptops with either 2 in 1 form factor or touchscreen

Im using Xiao Mi Laptop so far so good as I only normal ise and occasionally Dota 2 (screen abit small for that). My wife and I have been sharing this xiaomi laptop now (as our old bulky Acer 4930G and Dell Inspiron 1420 bought in 2008 is slow and heavy). Looking to buy a new laptop now. Prefer big SSD size (500GB/1TB), we can do with external hard disk though but the convenience is just not there. Looking for recommendation and wouldnt mind to compromise SSD for value and quality buy.

1. Preferred brand : None
2. Budget : ~RM2000 - RM4000
3. Usage : Email, normal microsoft
4. Screen Size : No preference
*
Are display quality, weight and battery life important to you? Also, do you need dGPU?

I suggest adding SSD after purchase, there aren't many laptops with big SSD capacity in that price range

Am clueless. Please shed some light or better laptop recommendation?
