QUOTE(stormsea7 @ Aug 5 2018, 05:42 PM) Ideapad 320 has mediocre build quality. Ideapad 330 has improved build quality but still not good enough. Both have mediocre input devices, mediocre display and mediocre battery life. Don't just look at specs when buying laptops.If you want MX150 for cheap then Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G), need RAM upgrade |

QUOTE(crazycrazyman @ Aug 5 2018, 08:17 PM) Any laptop with i5 processor , durable battery performance . Durability and reliability are not the same. Durable simply means tough, like Thinkpad T series. Reliability is long term age which is unpredictablePurpose. Is mostly mobility and optimum performance without lag Ideapad 320s 14, cheap yet good enough 8250U laptop, need RAM+SSD upgrades This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 5 2018, 09:16 PM |

QUOTE(NIckLJF @ Aug 6 2018, 06:13 PM) Looking for a ultraportable for work use and frequent travel. Something light in weight, has acceptable battery life (avg 6 hours) and able to do photo editing. Ryzen mobile APU will struggle in 13 inch laptops as most of them are configured with 15W power limit due to cooling limitation. Ryzen mobile APU at 15W will perform slightly worse than Intel KBL-R at 15W, however they have good Vega iGPU (10W MX150 is still faster) which needs dual channel memory to perform betterBudget? Preferred display size? Any special requirements? This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 6 2018, 06:43 PM |

QUOTE(NIckLJF @ Aug 6 2018, 07:20 PM) Thanks for the feedback. Budget is below rm5k. 13-14 inh display with windows ink support. Need it light and portable and good battery life as per mentioned in earlier post. Charging via USB Cable would be good too Spectre x360 13 is a good one, also can consider Asus UX461UA (256GB), Lenovo Thinkpad L380 Yoga (upgradable RAM), Acer Spin 5 13. If you don't mind lower display quality then Yoga 520/530Ryzen laptops have slightly worse battery life. Also requires a few things to maximize performance (though KBL-R laptops also need tuning like undervolting and increasing PL1 limit) |

QUOTE(JML @ Aug 8 2018, 12:30 AM) If you really care about aftersales support then Thinkpad T480, though I don't think you can get the best specs with this budget. Sadly Dell options at this price range aren't that great. Dell Vostro 5471 has OKish battery life and input devices.Asus UX331, Asus UX430 and HP Envy 13 are good options. Swift 5 has dim panel, CPU performance issue and OKish battery life but still decent. Ideapad 320s 14/15 ans Swift 3 are for budget orientated users This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 8 2018, 01:25 AM |
