1. Preferred brand : No preference
2. Budget : RM3k below
3. Screen Size : =<15"
4. Main preference : priority will be performance and quality, free dos if possible, no need ssd (got 1 already)
5. Usage: home usage, occasionally use on photoshop/lightroom/premier, play games like sims, will play new games if there's a good one and have time.

Specs is important but as well as build quality. Here are some good picks, all need RAM and SSD upgrade:
1. Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 with 8250U+920MX D5
2. Acer Aspire 5 with 8250U+MX150, need undervolting and possibly repaste since cooling is OKish, TN panel

Generally, Asus Vivobook, HP Pavilion and Dell Inspiron 3000/5000 series laptops have mediocre/OKish build quality and battery life. I'll avoid them personally.

Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IKBRN?
