thanks... ya, no hurry to purchase. can still wait... so ya, see how things go. was told got IT Fair in Aug... i can still wait till then.

dear sifu-sifu...

asking for model suggestions or even challenge my requirements...

my requirements:
* i7 8th gen processor
* 16GB RAM (can be 2x 8GB)
* 256GB SSD + 1TB HD
* 15" screen
* abt 3kg
* around rm5k to rm5.5k

good if can get:
* 2 years warranty
* more than 60Hz refresh rate for screen
* those colourful and programmable keyboard
* windows precision touchpad... ideally buttons not underneath. no buttons also i'm ok.
* keyboard without numpad. dun expect numpad to be useful for me.

mainly used for gaming (not hardcore but will plan to play some PUBG, Overwatched, LoL, Starcraft, etc), movies...

higher specs listed above is because i'd like the laptop to be able to last about 4-5 years before i get a replacement. i know by year 3, it might be considered outdated... but the games i'm going to play will still be the same or so...

of course good to also know the recommended model's pros and cons... like whether cooling system is good, after sales support and warranty, etc...

many, many thanks in advance...

just to also share... there are some models that I have been exploring a bit... but some of the mainstream brands do confuse me a bit with their models and range. i have seen: Illegear Raven and Illegear Onyx (out of budget ATM), Asus TUF FX504... i think it was MSI GE63 or sth...

for 1... ya... but just that sometimes if i need to really carry around... kinda like some colour... but i think probably off most of the time...

for 2... really that hot? i dun plan to use it on my lap (though its called laptop)... but dun think it will be in aircond room and i dun plan to have those extra cooling pads.

for 3... new gl? meaning?

dell G7. i checked based on the specs i mentioned... seems so much higher...

ok, got it. thanks...
