Anyone know roughly how much for asus laptop with this spec
1. I7-8750H 6core processor
2. 6gb grafic card
3. 32gb ram
4. 256ssd + 1tb hardisk

online search for few product like GL703 or 504G but never show 32gb ram how much...any1 know the price? Thank

Get GL703GM and add RAM (take out 8GB and get 2 16GB). GL504 has worse cooling

Must it be Asus?

Can consider Helios 300 (8300H+1060) but need repaste. Cooling is bad and build quality is OKish, still it's a good bargain

What games do you play? What settings?

Probably something along the lines of running the Witcher 3 at medium?

Would like to keep it below 6k.

FHD should be fine. Brightness around 300 nits? That’s the same as a MacBook Pro display rite?

Hi, would like some sifu opinions. smile.gif

1. Preferred brand : -
2. Budget : Rm2000
3. Usage : MS office, Lightroom, browser. No games (have desktop)
4. Screen Size : 13 inch

I'm just looking around for options as my current laptop - Lenovo yoga 2 pro's screen has broken and replacing it would cost half of what I paid for.

My priorities are form factor and battery life (in that order). I would like a laptop with light weight, 2kgs or below. Battery life has to be able to last 4-5 hours.

Thanks!

Acer Swift 1

Keep in mind that most laptops in this price range don't have 8GB RAM

Can stretch budget by a bit more?

Hi all,
need recommendation on laptop purchase as below:

Screen size: 15" (need the numpad for accounting)
Purpose: normal browsing, banking, MS Office perhaps light video streaming, no need 2-in-1 no need touch screen
Battery life: decent around 4hrs or the longer the better
budget: 2.5k +-

went through recent post here and shortlisted model below:
Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IKB (or should go for 330?)
HP PAVILION 15-CS0033TX
Question I have:
1. As my common sense Ideapad 320 should be predecessor of 330 (as 320 is no longer available on Lenovo website), but there are still stock out there with price around 2.1k. So what are the advantages compare 330 with 320? I see there is no different in processor, memory as well as hdd.
2. Similar question, any advantages of HP Pavilion over the Ideapad 320? Price different on Lxxxda is around RM400.
3. And if compare Pavilion & Ideapad 330 (almost same price), I guess the answer will be "buy either 1 you like"? edited: i noticed the advantages on HP: come with IPS screen and 1 extra (2) memory slot compare to Lenovo, so probably it will be the wiser choice?

Other recommendations are welcomed too.
Thanks!

Ideapad 330 has improved build quality (still a bit away from good), the rest are the same. Wouldn't recommend this model due to TN panel and poor battery life.

The new Pavilion 15 (cs-tx) is a decent choice
