Hi all,

1. Preferred brand : None
2. Budget : RM3K
3. Usage : Office worker, laptop will only be used for gaming and the occasional show.
4. Screen Size : Any will do.
5. Other requirements : At the moment I'm only playing an MMO called Black Desert Online. Would like the laptop to have 8GB RAM, 128 SSD and Graphic card performing at 920 thereabouts, I'm not too fussy on the exact measure since I'm not a pro or a hardcore player. As long as the load screen doesn't take more than 5 minutes and stutter/jerk every other second in combat, I'm perfectly fine.

I'll suggest used Thinkpads like T430 and T520. You need to up your budget if you want the best user experience, otherwise need to sacrifice things like no SSD, low RAM (4GB), poor build quality, poor battery life, poor display etc

I suggest upping the budget to RM2600 - RM2899. You can get:

-A good ultrabook-ish laptop like Acer Swift 3 15 inch.
-Any normal laptop with 8250u and MX150/130 2GB

If not, then these :

1. Acer Swift 1 = RM2299

Full HD. The Pentium is SLOW~,but not netbook slow. It's great for casual use.

You may found some difficulty in video editing, but nothing a trip to a mamak shop while waiting the video to finish can't fix. Consider getting a fast external SSD/HDD too.

2. Lenovo 320 15 inch (old model) = RM2299

A lot faster, not the best build quality though. Try to find ond with i5 7200u with Nvidia graphics for video editing.

Bad news is, entry level ips, slow hdd, Lenovo gamble longevity (it may last forever or blow up in 1 year)

Alright, thank you, is Lenovo quality really that bad? Never really knew anything about laptop as i've always been more into desktop.

What do you think of the Acer Swift 1 compared to the Asus Vivobook, the i3 6100u (GT920MX GPU) version? Should be better than the pentium right?

Yeah i don't mind the long wait for the video editing part as long as can do the job can already.

I don't mind things like no SSD, 4GB Ram as i'm not really multitasking, only using to do most of my assignments.

I checked your list of recommended laptops to buy in Malaysia and was wondering what do you think of the Asus Vivobook (i3 6100u and GT920MX) Are older gens i3 Processor that much slower than the current 8000 and maybe even the 7000 series?

Not sure, but the lower ones are usually bad. But they are an option and I don't have any problems using Lenovo.

Yes that Vivobook is WAY better. Do consider it if you are satisfied with the screen and the battery life. That's always been a problem with asus. They are usually subpar.

Alright, thank you very much, will look into it. thumbup.gif

The best warranty is from Dell. But the Inspirons are a far cry from the ones I mentioned. You'll need to up your budget or find yourself a used Dell XPS 13/15.

Not a gamer right? Bussinessman?

- Acer Swift 3 with Ryzen 5 2500U and RX540 = RM3599
Haggle to lower the price. 256GB SSD. Full HD gaming at medium settings (Fortnight, Dota 2).Nice, big, 15.6 inch IPS for looking at charts for long time.

- Acer Swift 5 = RM3799 core i5 8250u
Great ultrabook, lots of battery life, it's a 14 incher with a nice, touch-enabled screen. Casual gaming at 720p. 256GB SSD.

- Acer Swift 5 = RM3499 core i5 7200u
Same spec as above. Lower cpu speed, photoshop is possible, but not as good as the Core i5 8250u

- Thunderobot 911 SE with 1050 ti 4GB = RM3499 (promotion)
Just mentioning, in case you are a gamer. Full HD at high settings gaming power. Maybe it's slick enough for business?

hi Slick69,

Thanks for the recommendation. Just wonder is Aces laptop still stable? I know that last time Acer laptop always has many hardware problem. For Thunderobot 911 SE, is the warranty claim easy?

Thanks.
