Only Dell and Lenovo has battery charging cap feature. Under 2kg is light for me but this depends on personal preference

Acer Swift 3 15
Acer Swift 3 14 (SF314-54), need RAM upgrade
Lenovo Yoga 520 14, need RAM upgrade
Lenovo Ideapad 320s 15, need RAM upgrade

All have 8250U CPU, SSD and entry level IPS panel. Also consider these:
Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14, need RAM+SSD upgrades
Acer Aspire 6, need RAM+SSD upgrades
*
dell includes aw also? the charging cap feature is enabled by default right?

on contrary.... if all laptops are mediocre.... then how to choose?
actual user giving input is the best, second will be seller as they know and seen the unit... if everything based on other review website rather than own experience..everybody can read. difficult la to choose... esp when everything is mediocre...

like for me, still searching for a good replacement for my HP Envy 13.... become stuck when word mediocre keep cropping up. still looking for the best withing rm3k-rm3.5k range.... but everything in that range are mediocre mediocre mediocre...

Thats right. Prefer whos giving suggestion or opinions are based on hands on experience rather than websites or virtual reviews.

Level51 and Illegear have their own online stores

MSI GP63 has excellent cooling. Last 3 years? No one can tell about the reliability since this mainly depends on luck, however MSI low-mid range lineup tend to have QA issues

actually what temperature are considered normal when gaming. My aw without undervolt goes up till 85-88 , After i undervolt, temp are constantly below 70 already.

Hi guys, been a long time dell customer. Now want to try Asus since i see this model is in my budget range and it is recommend by Dave2d.
https://www.asus.com/my/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBook-13-UX331UAL/

Just wta to ask your, how is asus after sales service? Like if there is problem with the laptop will they come to your house like dell? Bcs at their website i dont see them promoting their after sales services like Dell or Lenovo. Also when i click on buy it redirect me to Lazada? lol cannot buy it from their official website, what joke???
*
If you compare aftersales service Asus with dell. Asus is like a joke. True experience when im working part time in pc shop

Yeah, 4k is actually already a stretch to me. Was going for 3.5k, but I wont get that 16gb ram with that budget. I heading more towards illegear since they provide a nice mechanical keyboard. I'll be doing alot of typing as programmer and that helps alot.

As for gtx 1060, I don't game so much, just wondering in 3-4 years, will gtx 1050ti still hold its ground with multi monitor setup.

you serious? 3.5k and expect mechanical keyboard ?

Yes I am, have you seen this https://store.illegear.com/high-performance...gear-raven.html ? the base spec is 3299. If you remove windows 10 and others stuff like hdd (I bought a 500gb ssd before buying this laptop), it could drop below 3k.

Oh, these in house switches. I thought you meant cherry mx switches mech which is impossible

Hi all, kindly need u guys' advice for this =)

1. Budget : RM4k~RM4.5k (or higher also can)

2. Usage  : 3D modeling n render -Sketchup, Revit (master in architecture-next yr)
  Graphic design & photo edit - Lightroom, Adobe PS & AI
  Simple video editing- Premier Pro
  Gaming- Only Dota 2 (sadly no time for other game)

3. Requirements : Display size - 17"/15" (Might get monitor)
  Colour accuracy - (at least average rating)
  Less cooling problem
  Doesn't matter for the weight & battery life & appearance
Previously have looked upon MSI GL63 Series i7-7700hq & 1050 Ti, which around 4k, but saw there's i7-8750 with almost same price.

While my friend convincing me to go for Acer Helios 300 with GTX1060 with around 4.6k (sounds attractive), but heard of it's overheating + colour issue. Plus 1060 might be overkill for my current usage.

Will it worth it if i wait for the newer GPU/CPU or buy laptop before SST? Still can wait until next yr Jun/July.

Appreciate if there's any same tier/ better model can be suggested
Thanks in advance!

hp omen 15 2018? Dave2D gave very good review on it. Personally feel it is better than helios 300 and y530, at least for me
