Hi, I'm considering buying a gaming laptop real soon.

1. Budget : Max 6k

2. Usage : Gaming (D2, CSGO, GTA, Fortnite and etc) and for casual work (creating multiple VMs and images).

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- i7 8th Gen
- GTX 1060
- 8GB RAM or more
- SSD is a must
- screen wise anything above 60Hz is good enough

More additional notes : I'm currently considering 3 brands and models (MSI GP63 leopard 8RE, Asus tuf fx505 gold steel and Illegear Raven) but i am open for other brands and model suggestion.
Do help to suggest or share any experience if you have any on those 3 models stated above.

Illegear Raven Elite (TongFang GK5CN67)
MSI GP63 8RE-299
Illegear Laguna (Quanta NL5C)
Asus GL504G-MES238T
Commandos Carbine 5 / Level51 W15 Lite (Clevo N950TP6)
Lenovo Legion Y530 customize
Illegear Raven

(refer gaming laptop list for more options)

Thanks for the suggestion.
Isnt Asus GL504G-MES238T above RM6k for GTX1060?
Illegear does look nice with mechanical keyboard.
You had any review for MSI GP63 8RE-299?

Review of GP63 8RE:

Do check out other options in the RM6k tab since I didn't update prices

Cool. Thanks man for the suggestion.
Asus ROG Strix looks nice too.
I'll head out to the store to have a look and feel on the laptops.
Most probably will be taking GP63 8RE as MSI reduced the price to RM5299.
Not sure whether GTX 1060 can fully utilize the 144hz screen.

Hi,
Am looking for a laptop with i5, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB for space. That's my minimum requirements. Please give some advice. Thanks.

Budget? Usage? No preference on weight, battery life and display size?

Hi ZM Fong,
Thanks for the reply. Usage: Work and leisure. Weight: <2 kg. Battery life: 8 hrs more or less should be good. Display size: 13.5 to 15 should be cool.

Budget?

Budget: < RM3k. Note: Do not want DVD Drive. Thanks.

Hi SIFUS

need help getting new laptop

1. Budget : rm 2000 / 3000
2. Usage : work only - research, microsoft office
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : mobile (want to put in my medium size bag so 10-11 inch is OK), preferably comes with keyboard, reasonable battery life, light to carry around in a sling bag

Kindly recommend in 2 price points - <2000 and <3000
Thank you!

Thanks for the recommendation. Most likely will go to Lenovo Legion Y530.
Anyway, is now a good time to purchase notebook? Since new gc will be announced soon.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD/57FD/59T5 +RAM
Lenovo Yoga 520 81C80016MJ/17MJ +RAM
Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-547K/58R8/58H9 +RAM+SSD
Lenovo Ideapad 330S-14IKB +RAM+HDD (or get 256GB model)
Lenovo Ideapad 320S-14IKB/14IKBR +RAM+SSD
Lenovo Ideapad 330S-15IKB +RAM

Give a range on weight and battery life (kg, hours)
Preferred display size?

Only if you can wait. 2050/2050TI need to wait longer

budget?

yea.. but not sure whether the price of GTX 10 series will drop after the announcement of the new gc.

Hi, am looking at <RM3k. Thanks.

Thanks, ZM Fong.
