1)msi gp62mvr
2)acer predator helios 300

which is better? for sure msi is already more expensive than predator helios 300(both have roughly same specs in terms of GPU & processor). so now i wanna know which one has longer battery life?? unsure.gif

thanks in advance

Both have issues. Helios 300 has longer battery life (still OKish)

Hi sifus, need your help on this

1. Preferred brand : N/A
2. Budget : RM3k - 3.5k (Prefer below 3k)
3. Usage : Light Design and video editing on adobe software, heavy on gaming without lag like dota2, csgo, PUBG.

Wish to get a new laptop that wont "heat" me and produces "noise" when playing game.

Currently looking at G7 and Raven but it seems kind of over budget as it like require 4kMYR for that.
*
G7 and Raven are the only good choices with that budget

Noise surely louder than normal laptops

1. Preferred brand : Maybe just not Acer? Still open to options.
2. Budget : below RM3k
3. Usage : Excel
4. Screen Size : 15.6

I am looking for a laptop with number pad, i7 8th gen, 8GB ram if possible, for under RM3k. Is there any laptop that fits my criteria? Thanks.

Why i7 8th gen (KBL-R)? No significant performance gain

Therefore cooling has become more important in CFL-H laptops.

Hi sifus, which is better between 14'' or 15.6'' . 14" with SSD is definitely cheaper but I'm afraid it will be quite small. Will be using Visual Studio 2017 and other IDEs down the road in degree life.

Display size is personal preference. Which models you're looking at?
