QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jan 31 2019, 06:03 PM) If you want this: "must be able to access 2.5" drive mount easily (e.g. via dedicated maintence panel)" Then your options are very limited If I don't new access to a 2.5" drive mount easily, what are the options?

A thinkpad e585 2500u only last 1.5-3 hours but it can play a few AAA at 720p. Not to mention plenty room for upgrades. Alternatively an A485 can last a bit longer with a 9cell battery which is an option These are all sub 4k. This post has been edited by eek-1: Feb 2 2019, 06:04 PM

Hi, I'm looking for thin and light ultrabook with 14-ish screen. Been using Zenbook 3 Deluxe before, and am looking for something similar in term of build quality and size. A bit thicker would be ok.
My requirement would be Proc : i7 7th gen above Ram : at least 8gb, 16gb is recommended SSD : 500gb at least GPU : Intel GPU would be enough Battery : 6hours above Cooling system : good Screen 13-14 inch Keyboard : great typing experience Budget : about 3.5k or so Condition : new or used is ok as long got warranty Touch screen : no need, if have would be bonus
In between several model HP Envy, Lenovo 720s, Matebook D, Lenovo Yoga 720, or Asus Zenbook 14.

Hello, can someone help me, between these two MSI GL63 8SE rtx(myr5.4k) and MSI GP63 8RE 299MY(myr4.5k) which one is recommended? Will be use for gaming, movies, and can handle multi tasking.
Or is there a better option than those two? My budget is around 5k.
Thank you!

Mind low sRGB display? Mind non-upgradable RAM? For typing experience, I suggest you to try out the keyboard in hand since everyone has different keyboard feel
