None taken. I have my eyes on GS63VR too, especially the RG version with 1070 MaxQ. Just that want to get some insight from fellow users.
By "newbies grade looking for thin gaming laptop" what do you mean?

I'm in the market of a thin laptop mainly to use when I'm out traveling or out for work. Gaming when there's time. The downside with GS63 is its battery life which is abysmal. Like the thin border of Aero 15x but that price I think I can get better no? Of course, I'd like to have a feel before I commit into buying any of them. Don't think it is hard to maintain a gaming laptop though. Heat is expected from a gaming line, most probably the laptop will be plugged to the wall and rested on a desk when gaming so no issue with heat.

So, any users of GS63VR RF or RG here? Aero 15W or 15X? Predator Triton 700?

Mainly looking for 2-in-1/hybrid with the same specs as mentioned though. Usually I found like Lenovo Yoga but it lacks in graphic card department or with Spectre x360 where the 13" version don't get the graphic card upgrade. I heard with Ryzen the integrated Vega will be more than enough but no model come out yet in Malaysia.

1. Preferred brand : Not sure which one to get as each brand has their own YES and Nos

2. Budget : High end (unlimited budget) - just tell me which brand/model is the best

3. Screen Size : any will do

4. Main preference : 2 main primary priorities - Must be VR ready and have good cooling function / Secondary preference - good after sales/tech service

5. Usage: VR gaming - will only be using at weekends

As mentioned above, I really dont know which brand is the best as I've never used a gaming laptop before. Different brand(s) have their own pro and cons and to make things worst, users/owners have different reviews on the products - some say YES and some say NO

I think they all seems nice? haha. xD but if I were to get my hand on it, i'd go for the ASUS TUF FX504G-EE4071T, few bucks higher than the others but I think it's gonna worth it. still contemplating though.

Hello everyone! Looking at a laptop akin to a Macbook/entry Macbook Pro that combines portability, all day battery life and a good screen. Will use it mainly for light work

1. Preferred brand : Any
2. Budget : 3.5k
3. Usage : Light work
4. Screen Size : FHD max 13.3 inches
5. Others: SSD is preferred, an IPS panel with accurate colours is preferred as well.

I understand that this is a tough ask in this price category. Maybe there are laptops that come close with some compromises that I will be able to bare with. Thanks

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.
