1. Preferred brand : Asus / Lenovo
2. Budget : 5k
3. Usage : Lots of web browsing, movies, light gaming, torrent
4. Screen Size : 14 / 15
7. RAM : prefer 8GB

Battery life no matter. Prefer a little bit of SDD. Any recommendation?

Dell Inspiron 7570 (8250U+940MX)
Xiaomi Notebook Pro (8250U+LP MX150, can be tuned to 7700HQ+25W MX150 performance) - import warranty concerns
Acer Swift 3 15 (8250U+25W MX150) - entry level IPS
Lenovo Yoga 520 14 (8250U+940MX GDDR5) - need manual RAM upgrade, entry level IPS
Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 (8250U+920MX GDDR5) - need manual RAM+SSD upgrade, entry level IPS

Are you OK with iGPU? (no dGPU)

Thanks! Will check those out!

Hm, don't really mind either way? Will the difference be big? If I want, what choice will it narrow down to?

You need to play those games at lowest settings to achieve playable FPS. If you don't need dGPU there are options like:
Asus UX461UA (8250U)
Asus UX430UA (8250U)
Lenovo Thinkpad E480/E580 (consumer laptop with Thinkpad name, good build quality, 3yr warranty)

Or Thinkpad T480 if you can find a good deal

If you don't mind weight, a good gaming laptop like Dell G7 7588 mentioned above is also recommended, more performance.

Thank you! Weight does not matter much... As it'll stay home most of the time. Mostly I'll use it on my lap... Not travelling much.

I read a bit, seems like most the spec for Dell G7 7588 out there is for 1tb+8gb... From what I understand this is combined, can it be upgraded / add 128gb SSD How much is the cost to upgrade if you know? Ones I saw this laptop need to preorder... Worry there might be issue, seems like not many review yet. I like to read review.

I'm not so rush to buy yet, should I wait in case there might be something else?

Wondering if I should choose the 1060 one or stick to 1050ti... Since I plan to use this laptop for a long time, and heard 1060 much better than 1050ti. Plus it already has SSD in it which I need to add for 1050ti. What you think?
