QUOTE(Belphegor @ Aug 27 2018, 04:16 PM) if exclude video rendering?  Are there better choice of laptop I can choose from? I dont mind increasing the laptop ram and storage space in latter date as well. The next good budget choice would be Ideapad 320s 14 (RAM and SSD upgrades are highly recommended)

QUOTE(I_am_Mushi_90 @ Aug 28 2018, 09:02 PM) HP Pavilion 15-CS0033TX , Lenovo Ideapad 320S, Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ), Acer Swift 3 15 * I surveyed the price of Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ) & Acer Swift 3 15 (8250U+MX150). Price is almost same. However Acer Swift 3 15 has 256GB SSD and 8 GB Ram which Acer Swift 3 (SF314-54G ) only 128GB SSD and 4 GB Ram. Does it means Acer Swift 3 15 is better? Anything i missing out? Swift 3 15 (SF315-51G) has soldered RAM and thicker bezels (slightly heavier) All options above are good enough, kudos to your research This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Aug 28 2018, 09:08 PM

QUOTE(I_am_Mushi_90 @ Aug 28 2018, 09:23 PM) Among these models which 1 is the best for u? HP PAVILION 15-CS0033TX ok or not? Any cons for this model? Besides, may i know how much roughly to upgrade to 8GB Ram? Any reliable yet not too expensive RAM's brand recommended? Thanks! All are equally good I would say The battery is smaller but with KBL-R CPU there should be any problem RAM is RAM, just buy the cheapest with same timings and frequency

QUOTE(I_am_Mushi_90 @ Aug 28 2018, 09:42 PM) Thanks for the reply. I noticed that many laptops will experience 100% disk usage when running ( including my brother & me) , do u know what are the causes? No SSD, that's why SSD is essential in W10. HDD is just too slow and crap (personal experience)

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Aug 29 2018, 10:01 PM) Oh boy, not many choices. Any thoughts of Thunderobot 911 Air? Not the exact specs I wanted, but the price to specs and size ratio seems okay. Haven't heard of that brand before though, not sure how reliable it is and the cooling too.. No info on that (it's a Quanta barebone), but cooling will probably be mediocre looking at the internal images

QUOTE(Lyril @ Aug 29 2018, 10:06 PM) Hi all sifu, I would like to ask how good HP Omen 15 is. I'm looking to upgrade my laptop from the old Y50 and heard many recommend this model. I don't have much good experience with HP laptops so I'm wary about buying this brand. Mostly using it to play FF14. It's a bit overpriced, the model itself is fine What's your budget? Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

QUOTE(Lyril @ Aug 30 2018, 12:45 AM) Budget not more than 5k. I don't have any preference for weight and battery life because I use it mostly plugged in. My only requirement is having a RGB keyboard aside from having a machine that can run smoothly on high setting for most games. I was checking out Illegear Raven and Onyx, and there are quite a few users already having many issues one month in. Which makes me think these models aren't exactly top quality for that price. That and the keyboard design makes typing hard (an issue because my job requires a lot of reporting). If you want high settings in most games then you have to get 1060 GPU which can be tricky to find a decent model below 5k. Can try out Level51 W15 Lite with i5 8400 Those issues are mainly related to firmware/BIOS which isn't a bad problem IMO. I believe that it just that TongFang is a relatively new ODM. The build quality and cooling are good.
