Hi guys, I've been a desktop user since the beginning of time with barely any laptop experience. My last laptop was a 2013 Macbook which has been gathering dust for the last 3+ years and the one before that was a Fujitsu lappie that went with me to uni back in 2002. Looking to get a cheapish laptop that'll be used for mostly work and a bit of gaming thrown in.

1. Preferred brand : No particular preference
2. Budget : Below 2k, preferably around the 1.5k mark
3. Usage : Work (word processing), internet browsing with a bit of gaming thrown in (Civ 5, Ark, CS:GO - graphics can be potato quality)
4. Screen Size : >11" preferably

2. Budget : max 2500. around 2000 should be ok
3. Usage : trading, movies, web surfing and reading,Windows 10 OS.
4. Screen Size : <14" or light.
5. Others: hopefully have sim if possible, portable

Can suggest anything or nearest?

I think any modern Ultrabook from 2017 can satisfy your needs.

Mainly looking for 2-in-1/hybrid with the same specs as mentioned though. Usually I found like Lenovo Yoga but it lacks in graphic card department or with Spectre x360 where the 13" version don't get the graphic card upgrade. I heard with Ryzen the integrated Vega will be more than enough but no model come out yet in Malaysia.

1. Preferred brand : Any
2. Budget : around RM8-9k
3. Usage : programming, gaming
4. Screen Size : 13” and above
5. Extras: lightweight. preferably coffee lake. good after sales service.

Microsoft Surface Book 2

these two are good enough for you.
illegear are good especially their after-sale services, should not be a worry.
there's no big difference in between 7th vs 8th gen for gaming.
