I don't mind low sRGB IPS and non-upgradable RAM. Preferably 13 inch but must be 2-in-1. smile.gif

Hi I looking for more like budget gaming

I can spend about 3k but better don't over 3.5k I just don't want to spend so much.

I got a spare 480gb SSD at home so I would just swap it if I buy a new laptop.

Currently looking at
commandos Glock 5 , i5 / take all the basic only 3.2k
Or the illegear raven

Leaning towards the glock 5 now

Or any good prebuild from known brands?

Need opinion + CES coming and rtx laptop wait for rtx?

Had an Illegear u4 for the past 1 year and had loads of issues with it. Proceed with caution and buy the most expensive warranty.

It's a good model

Default panel is low sRGB IPS, also need to buy cheap OS key

Guess you have a bad luck. Clevo drivers aren't known as good, however I've seen some ppl with no issues on this model
Correction: I'm referring to U3 which is a different model

I guess so. But the build quality was really subpar for a 5k laptop. Whole rig made off cheap plastic.

Budget: 1.5k+-
Purpose: Buying for 7-years old nephew to start learning with some basic office tools + browsing
Preferable brand: None (but with SSD is better)
Min spec: Intel i3, 4GB ram (preferable 8GB, or upgrade later). Can AMD A6 9225 beats i3?

Eyeing for now:
i3 with SSD - https://www.lazada.com.my/products/acer-asp...lpdViP&search=1

A6 9225 with HDD - https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-x50...s631442680.html

Any other recommendation suit the budget?

Go for used/refurb laptops with 1 yr warranty, you won't get a good, new laptop with that budget

Thank you very much zstan for the feedback given, we shall collect this input and will continue to improve the quality of our laptops. I believe the U4 was starting at RM3K last time for the base specs but the price will increase according to the specs chosen, hope this clarifies.

At the moment, the closest equivalent to the U4 would be the Onyx, which comes with a similar footprint but is now equipped with a much sturdier build as well as a complete aluminium finish. Learn more about the ILLEGEAR Onyx by clicking the link here: https://www.illegear.com/laptops/onyx/
