You might need to increase your budget if you want dGPU+light weight. Also, thin laptops with small chassis (13 inch for instance) will have mediocre cooling.1. Preferred brand: Any except Acer 2.

QUOTE(adriankan @ May 13 2018, 05:40 PM) Hello everyone! Looking at a laptop akin to a Macbook/entry Macbook Pro that combines portability, all day battery life and a good screen. Will use it mainly for light work Acer Swift 51. Preferred brand : Any 2. Budget : 3.5k 3. Usage : Light work 4. Screen Size : FHD max 13.3 inches 5. Others: SSD is preferred, an IPS panel with accurate colours is preferred as well. I understand that this is a tough ask in this price category. Maybe there are laptops that come close with some compromises that I will be able to bare with. Thanks |

Also, thin laptops with small chassis (13 inch for instance) will have mediocre cooling. Battery life not so critical I guess. Can roughly go up to RM4k if such a a model only available in this price. |

Still not launched yet in Malaysia What are your requirements? For 2k budget you might want to consider used Thinkpad like T430, T520 and T440s. If you prefer new, consider Chuwi stuffs |
