I am wondering how long can lenovo ideapad 530s battery last?

I didn't see Lenovo ideapad 530s in Lenovo retail store in Plaza Lowyat, is anyone know where could I find it in Klang Valley area? I'd like to hand on the laptop before buy it.

I saw some of the reviews said that Lenovo ideapad 530s battery only can lasts 5-6 hours. I know I can buy it online, but I'd like to hand on the laptop to feel the keyboard and trackpad before make decision.

Thanks anyway.

Looking for a decent laptop for all-round purpose. Generally for work, movies, heavy multi tasking (usually more than 10 programs running simultaneously), some light video editing and light gaming. Need a fast laptop that can coop with my daily routines without lag, and last for another 3~4 Years at least sweat.gif

Requirement;

- RAM 8GB (if 4GB can be upgraded)
- Decent Battery Life
- Display 14"~15.6"
- 1TB HDD (preferably with additional SSD)
- GPU with dedicated RAM
- Good keyboard with Backlit
- Weight : below 2.5KG

Currently I have shortlisted;
- HP Pavilion Gaming 15
- Asus TUF FX505G
- Dell Inspiron G3 3579
- Dell Vostro 14 5481 (Currently my main choice)

are there any other laptops that suit these requirements? sweat.gif sweat.gif
Thanks!

Most 13 inch Ultrabooks have non-upgradable RAM, might want to edit your requirements or budget again

Budget? Prefer min how many hours of battery life?

I suggest you to try out keyboard on your own since typing feeling depends on personal preference

If you're talking about performance, it might last 3-4 years but if you're talking about reliability, no one can guarantee that (premium business laptops will have better reliability in general)

I'm starting to consider more onto gaming laptops, For the sake of better cooling + graphics?
Considering my long usage (pretty much from morning till night everyday).Currently looking at HP Omen 15-dc0094TX, Lenovo Legion Y530, Illegear Razen. But I'm not too sure about the reliability of Lenovo and Illegear

Lenovo Legion Y530 customize, Y530 81FV00M8MJ, Y530 81FV016UMJ - 72% NTSC 60/144Hz IPS
HP Omen 15-DC0093TX - low sRGB IPS
Commandos Glock 5 (Clevo NB50TK1) - 72% NTSC 60/120Hz IPS, desktop CPU
Illegear Raven (TongFang GI5CN5E / GJ5CN6E - 1060 model) - 144Hz IPS
Asus GL503G-EEN057T - 120Hz TN

All with 1050TI

You don't need i7-8750H/i7-8700 unless your workload benefit from multi core performance, i5-8300H/i5-8400 is decent enough

Reliability mainly depends on luck

Note that more powerful GPU = more heat output

After thorough thoughts and consideration, I think I may have to re-consider my requirements & options; hmm.gif

CPU : Intel Core i7 8550u
RAM : 8GB (Upgradable)
HDD : 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD
GPU : Decent GC with Standalone memory min 2GB (Doesn't need to be too powerful)
Screen : 15.6" FHD IPS
Weight : 2.2KG MAX
Keyboard : Needs to be black/Dark color with backlit. Preferably with Numpads
Color : Black/Dark Grey/Blue/any dark colors. Silver/Gold/White not in the list
Battery : Decent with 4hrs normal usage minimum
Budget : RM4000 ~ RM5000

Gaming laptops seems too heavy+bulky as i'll be Travelling A Lot. sweat.gif sweat.gif
Might need to go for something much cooler and on-the-go Friendly.

Right now I've only found ASUS S15 S530. But only Gold/Black color is available for this spec ==> with SILVER keyboards doh.gif
Any opinions on Lenovo Thinkpad E580? the spec seems to fit my requirements quite nicely.

May I know what about
1. i3 8th Gen vs i5 7th gen comparison. Some have written that i3 8th Gen is faster for day to day computing, is that a true statement?
2. May I know how do you undervolt, can you share the link on how you did it? I do recall you did share the link before.

Thank you very much for all the help you rendered to everyone so far.
