QUOTE(Jay1221 @ Sep 6 2018, 04:01 AM) Btw..., want to ask you why u choose gtx 1050ti but the 2gb version instead of the 4gb...even mx150 has 2gb...and also why go 144hz panel as the gtx 1050ti cant really push the frame rates that high...,mostly will only stuck at 60 fps...unless it a full gtx 1060 like helios 300...No offense or anything...Just want to hear your opinion... Wanted 144Hz because I only play esports games which can easily reach 144 FPS and I wanted high refresh rate for cheap. Went for 2GB because of budget constrains and 144Hz is only available with 1050TI (1050 is fine for me, my games run fine with 2GB VRAM) |

QUOTE(loveylynn @ Sep 6 2018, 05:06 PM) Hello all~~~ You cannot choose CPU by looking at i5 or i7 only. Also, 16GB RAM is recommended for VMReally need help please! 1. Budget : RM 2k - 3k 2. Usage : Heavy browsing, occasionally need to create VM using VMware on this machine for own testing purpose 3. Requirements : - display size => no preference - battery life => normal lasting (doesnt need to be a deciding factor) - weight => light weighted (because need to carry around frequently) - disk space => ~1TB (doesnt need to be on ssd) - RAM => 8GB (I supposed? Since I need to allocate about half the RAM to VM) - processor => i7 (please don't bash me hahaha. I'm assuming I need i7 jer..please feel free to correct me) Any recommendation? Thank youuuuu Any range on battery life and weight? |

QUOTE(loveylynn @ Sep 7 2018, 10:49 AM) Oops noted..what should I look at then? the GHz? Looking at GHz also wrong, you should look at the CPU modelI dont have any preference on battery life. But weight I hope it can be a thin/slim laptop T_T Teach me senpai! I suggest you to get a laptop with powerful hardware since you don't really mind weight and battery life. Can go for CFL-H laptop (8300H, 8750H) like Acer Nitro 5 and HP Pavilion Gaming, but both of them need repaste+undervolt due to 'not so good' cooling. Upgrade RAM and SSD by yourself. If you're a student you can apply 15% discount and get Legion Y530 |

QUOTE(phearfiery @ Sep 8 2018, 12:27 PM) Hi Sifu, I went to browse around dell, hp and asus laptop and found that vivobook s15 has really nice finishing to its laptop exterior compare to others. Should I go for this laptop? I found there is an Asus gaming laptop at this price but without ssd. I am not using it for gaming but only office work, browsing, slight editing only. Vivobooks are generally mediocre |

QUOTE(phearfiery @ Sep 9 2018, 09:12 AM) 530 no good huh? Really nice design though haha. Now 9.9 promo some gaming laptop falls under budget should i go for that? Or stick to regular ones, fyi I don't play games on them haha. S530 has no reviews. Vivobooks are generally mediocre so...If you don't play games then stick to regular ones |

For long term use with no gaming lol Nitro 5 has CPU cooling issue, otherwise good valueI found 1 inspiron 8gb ram and 120ssd at 3.4k, i7, amd 530 is it good? Which Inspiron is that? I found that Inspiron series is priced too high and therefore not worth it |

QUOTE(slec @ Sep 11 2018, 11:39 AM) You have to settle down with non GTX laptopsIf you want 15 inch, Acer Swift 3 15 with MX150, though it has low sRGB IPS panel HP Envy 13 (with MX150 10W), Asus UX430UN and Asus UX331UN are priced slightly above 3.5k. You can also consider Thinkpad A485 with R5/R7 APU, though it only comes with low sRGB IPS panel Make your decision and I'll let you know the cons of that model before making purchase |
