QUOTE(cinlky @ Aug 18 2018, 12:13 AM) To be honest I'm not sure. 6-8h? I tend to use whole day l but I usually have power plug on. If you need a 15 inch laptop, under 2kg with dGPU under 3k, Ideapad 320s 15 is a good option (need RAM upgrade), however the build has noticeably more flex compared to 320s 14I don't have a desktop CPU as i keep all my files in laptop. Thanks for you patience in helping me out also. I know I'm very noob. This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 18 2018, 01:11 AM |

QUOTE(nic1 @ Aug 18 2018, 07:06 PM) Maximum budget you can stretch? Are you a student?Budget CFL-H models like HP Pavilion Gaming, Acer Nitro 5 and Dell G3 don't have good cooling (need repaste+undervolt). Dell G7 is decent but has entry level IPS (same with the models above). MSI GL63 has poor TN panel and questionable QC This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 18 2018, 08:03 PM |

QUOTE(lostxkitten @ Aug 19 2018, 02:27 PM) msi PS42 mx150 (RM3999) Asus UX430UN or UX331UN, under 3.5k can get. But both have cooling related issue. FYI most 13 inch Ultrabooks don't have good cooling (especially with dGPU)vs HP Envy 13 mx150 (RM3800) which one is recommended? better cooling? the hp envy 13's mx150 is the lower voltage version of mx150. for browsing, basic words/excel and a lot of dota 2. do recommend other with similar spec and price if got. what im afraid the most is cooling, cause i will play a lot of dota 2. If you can settle with low sRGB IPS panel then Swift 3 (SF314-54G) |

QUOTE(Jay1221 @ Aug 19 2018, 04:53 PM) Hey guys, this is Austin, need some expert opinions if you guys are willing to help. Both have bad cooling and OKish build quality, you get what you pay. I wouldn't recommend either, however if you're willing to do repaste+undervolt I would choose Helios 300I'm buying a budget gaming laptop for the first time, and after checking my budget, RM4k, can get me: Acer Predator Helios 300 Or Asus TUF FX504 Both have i5-8300H, Geforce GTX 1060, 4GB DDR4, 128 SSD + 1TB HDD, Under RM 4k...the difference in price is RM100 between those two.., My question is which one is better? If anyone of your own either laptop...,feel free to drop by your review...,because both company will advertise such bullshit as claiming better thermal,quiet fan etc...while in the real world application...,it wont necessarily work like that Dont ask me to consider other laptop because only these two right now have full GTX 1060 (NOT MAX Q DESIGN) under RM4K... Must it be 1060 GPU? |

QUOTE(toffy @ Aug 21 2018, 12:54 AM) Hi folks. It has bad cooling. Price is good but you have to sacrifice a lot of aspectsI read about the Ok-ish cooling (or bad cooling) for Acer Helios 300, and need to undervolt and repaste. But I came across these specs. Not sure if these are reasonable prices? The main differences (other than the prices), are the RAM and the CPU. How big is the performance gap between 8300H and 8750H? How about in terms of gaming and programming work? 8300H is enough if you mainly game. For programming you might want 8750H (this is a hot chip, needs some tuning) What's your budget? Preferred max weight and battery life? This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 21 2018, 12:10 PM |

QUOTE(Unknown69 @ Aug 21 2018, 03:11 AM) NVIDIA just announced their next gen. gaming graphic card which is RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 & 2070. These are desktop ver. one, when do you guys think they will announce the mobile one? Also, should I buy the Asus Zephyrus M laptop GTX 1070 variants or hold it until the refreshed model with the new graphic card comes out? Which will be release after SST kicks in on September 1. After that most of the laptop current price will see an increase. What do you guys think about it? Buy now or hold it? Buy now if you have the money. Buy whatever hardware available, no need to wait. Usually laptop GPU takes longer to be available. Need to wait a few months more I think (so far there's no news on 2060 GPU and below) |
