If you want sub 2kg and >4 hrs battery life:
Level51 Slate-15
Illegear Onyx 63Wh
Acer Predator Triton PT515-51-71KN/73YN
MSI GS65 9SE-476, GS65 8SE-275

Note that thinner = hotter CPU temp

the msi gs65 very close to xps de.. can consider.. the rest i consider its trash.. haha.. personally dun like local brand.. becoz the amount they mark up quite ridiculous.. if they provide onsite service then still ok.. but no.. aftershock is cheaper in SG..

if malaysian brand more expensive than oversea big brand then y should we support local brand (tat y i dun recommend phidisk.. coz its more expensive than USA brand)

GS65 has questionable QC and poor CPU cooling too. Build quality is flimsy those days but improved in newer version. Using the word 'trash' is inappropriate imo

Personally I choose model - if the model has good cooling and build quality then I'll recommend. Again, everyone has different perspective and opinions

Max weight in kg?

Which EU country? Asking this bcoz if you plan to buy barebones from Illegear, chances are you need to get support from another reseller if you are in different country

define 'decent screen' - high sRGB IPS?
define 'light' - max weight in kg?

There's no future proof in laptops. Last 3+ years in terms of reliability or performance?

Also, by future proof I meant more in terms of build wise, after few years of i hope not to face too much issues with the hardware and/or the laptop frame (i.e hinges etc).

Premium business laptop is the better option, though they usually don't look too good
T480 WQHD
T490 400 nits
T480s WQHD
X390

Latitude 7390/7490 also got good display but need to check

Suggest upgrading SSD by yourself

After customizing with the thinkpads on the lenovo site i find them to be above my budget.

if you had to choose between the ASUS Zenbook UX433, yoga S730 or matebook 13 Which do you prefer?
*
I'll help you to customize, it's in your budget

All consumer grade, if you want better QC+QA just go for premium business grade

Any preference on weight and battery life? Need high sRGB display?

QUOTE(babienn @ Jun 1 2019, 03:44 PM)
Chargable with USB Type-C, discrete GPU such as GTX1050 or similar
*
choose GTX GPU or go for lower end GPU for USB C charging. Choose 1 only

Is it due to power limit or other reason? I was told that XPS 15 with 1050Ti has proprietary charger and chargable with type-C as well.

Yes, 100W limit. The only GTX laptop that can charge via USB C is XPS 15 from what I know, however 9570 model isn't that good (9575 is OK, non-upgradable RAM though)

Then chargable with type C is optional.

My main requirement is slim, with discrete GPU and long lasting battery (>7 hours web browsing/office tool usage)
*
How slim? Give a range

Any preference on weight? Is touchscreen a must?

<13mm would be excellent, <18mm would be acceptable.

Screen size >13inch, <15inch.

Believe that at this thickness, even at 15 inch it won't be too heavy.

I kinda like the xps 13 and xps 15 and spectre, similar form factor would be great.

Touchscreen is optional.

Thanks! The PS63 is quite good for its price especially the new GPU. Don't think any Dell / HP can compare with similar spec at this price.
