Hi sifus, need some advice on below,
1. Preferred brand : HP, ACER, DELL
2. Budget : <3k
3. Usage : daily use, constantly need to convert and edit video, light gaming
4. Screen Size : 14-15, both is fine to me
5. Weight don't matter, battery life don't matter.
Currently eyeing on both model below,
1. Acer Swift 3 14 (SF314-54/54G) - upgrade to 8GB RAM
2. HP Pavillion 15-CS0033TX - upgrade to 8GB RAM + 128GB SSD
Both price and spec is similar to me after the upgrade, leaning more towards HP Pavillion as i heard Acer Swift 3 got some heat issue, and the nice look of HP Pavillion is a big plus to me xD
Anyway, i need some opinion on this two models as well as other model if you have better suggestions? =D

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jul 11 2018, 03:27 PM) Swift 3 don't have heat issue, normal cooling for Ultrabooks If you prefer more performance, HP Pavilion Gaming (8300H+1050) is a good choice, though it's lacking reviews (from what I see, it has OK-good build quality and cooling). Also need RAM+SSD upgrades Otherwise SF314-54G with RAM upgrade How much does the HP Pavillion Gaming (8300H+1050) cost if upgrade to 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD? around? What about the normal HP Pavillion 15-CS0033TX? is the build quality good enough? any particular reason why choose Acer swift 3 instead of this? thx in advance =) |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Aug 9 2018, 10:27 AM) Dell G7, Illegear Raven Or 8750H models with repaste: Nitro 5, Pavilion Gaming MSI GL63 is quite good but I have no confidence on its QC+QA Remember to undervolt Sorry I forgot to mention, I prefer having thinner laptop, not too "gaming look" as I will need to bring to works sometimes, and G3 seems to fit all my requirement. Any comment on the Dell G3? Or u have better suggestion on a thinner laptop? Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by lzen92: Aug 9 2018, 11:08 AM |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Aug 9 2018, 11:08 AM) Cooling is a bit mediocre How thin you want? Even after undervolt? Just something not too eye catching (for example the bulky G7 😅) when I bring to office would be good. This post has been edited by lzen92: Aug 9 2018, 11:35 AM |
