Thunderobot 911 SE (N850HK1). You have to sacrifice in CPU: i5 7300HQ is dated IMO. Keep in mind that this model runs hot so repaste may be needed. Needs undervolting and maybe some heatsink/case modding too. Already have 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD.

Or Dell 7567 if you can find it somewhere (EOL) and can deal with the poor TN panel. Need RAM upgrade.

Or wait for more CFL-H options

All the new cpu are using ddr4 already right?

Dell?

You're referring to system RAM? Some models still using LPDDR3 but most DDR4. Gaming laptops all DDR4 if not mistaken

yes

Thanks alot for the suggestion. Will really look into it.
No just that have bad experience with Acer laptops lol. But that was few years back tho, just lost the trust in the brand. Thats about it

Welcome. Yeah those days most Acer laptops have issues. Now they have improved a lot but still have some flaws/cons in every models.

1. Preferred brand :None
2. Budget :3k-4k
3. Usage : College, Video Editing
4. Screen Size : 13-15inch

Light Weight, Good battery life, High Storage

Thank you !!!

Good IPS panel: HP Envy 13, Asus Zenbook UX430UA, Acer Spin 5 13, Asus UX331UN (LP MX150, mediocre cooling due to small chassis)

Entry level IPS: Acer Swift 3 15, Lenovo Yoga 520 (needs RAM upgrade), Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 (needs RAM+SSD upgrades), Acer Swift 3 15 with MX150

1. Preferred brand : Asus, Dell, Lenovo, others also ok.
2. Budget : RM4K to RM5K
3. Usage : Some light gaming, coding, watch movies and so.
Prefer lightweight, thin and upgradeable RAM (DDR4)
4. Screen Size : 13" - 15"

What games you play? Is battery life important to you?

Dota 2 , csgo

Yes because going to uni soon need good battery life.

HP Envy 13, Asus UX331UN, Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air: with 8250U+MX150 (LP), good display (for movies), soldered RAM, mediocre cooling (due to small chassis), good build quality and battery life

Acer Swift 3 15 with 8250U+MX150: entry level IPS, soldered RAM, good build quality and battery life

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro with 8250U+MX150: good display, soldered RAM, great cooling, good build quality and battery life

Lenovo Yoga 520 with 8250U+940MX (MX130): entry level IPS (touchscreen), good build quality and battery life, need RAM upgrade

Acer Aspire 5 with 8550U+MX150: entry level IPS, good build quality and OK battery life, OKish cooling, need RAM upgrade, not that portable (2.2kg)

Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 with 8250U+920MX: entry level IPS, good build quality and battery life (with 52Wh battery), need RAM+SSD upgrades

Damn, either soldered ram or lapsap ips..

Yeah you need to make compromises. Sadly there's no suitable model for you in this price range. There's a Dell Inspiron 7570 with 8250U+940MX (MX130) and good display but mediocre battery life.

Can anyone tell me which is better
Asus Vivobook K551L or k401lb or acer aspire e5-475-30na?

Just need a laptop for watching movie/streaming and surfing web.

All are mediocre. What's your budget?

In the end, I have made a jump into picking legion y520(just like in your sig, but without the ssd and ram upgrade).
At RM2.5k for freedos, the price is a steal.

Must add RAM and SSD. Otherwise very laggy. Blame Windows 10. You can check my review in LTT forum to see how to tweak the laptop.
