Between Acer Nitro 5, Dell G3, Lenovo Y530, which one is a better choice? I kinda like Y530's thermal fan design.

Y530 is better, but not 'excellent'

Hello all~~~
Really need help please!

1. Budget :  RM 2k - 3k
2. Usage  : Heavy browsing, occasionally need to create VM using VMware on this machine for own testing purpose
3. Requirements : - display size => no preference
                          - battery life => normal lasting (doesnt need to be a deciding factor)
                          - weight => light weighted (because need to carry around frequently)
                          - disk space => ~1TB (doesnt need to be on ssd)
                          - RAM => 8GB (I supposed? Since I need to allocate about half the RAM to VM)
                          - processor => i7 (please don't bash me hahaha. I'm assuming I need i7 jer..please feel free to correct me)

Any recommendation? Thank youuuuu
*
You cannot choose CPU by looking at i5 or i7 only. Also, 16GB RAM is recommended for VM

Any range on battery life and weight?

I dont have any preference on battery life. But weight I hope it can be a thin/slim laptop T_T

Looking at GHz also wrong, you should look at the CPU model

I suggest you to get a laptop with powerful hardware since you don't really mind weight and battery life. Can go for CFL-H laptop (8300H, 8750H) like Acer Nitro 5 and HP Pavilion Gaming, but both of them need repaste+undervolt due to 'not so good' cooling. Upgrade RAM and SSD by yourself. If you're a student you can apply 15% discount and get Legion Y530

Preferred max weight and minimum battery life? Only limited to these brands? Cannot be 15.6 inch? (I don't recommend buying laptop by brand)

Hi Sifu, I went to browse around dell, hp and asus laptop and found that vivobook s15 has really nice finishing to its laptop exterior compare to others. Should I go for this laptop? I found there is an Asus gaming laptop at this price but without ssd. I am not using it for gaming but only office work, browsing, slight editing only.

Anyone bought Dell New Inspiron 13 7000 (7380) series before?

https://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-13-7380-laptop/pd

Price looks more reasonable compared to Dell XPS 13.

Inspiron series is overpriced and not worth it IMO

What's your budget? Preferred max weight, display size and minimum battery life?

V310 is mediocre. Consider Ideapad 320s 14 (i5 8250U) with RAM+SSD upgrades
