QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 8 2019, 08:37 PM) Give a max budget Any preference on battery life? Mind low sRGB IPS? Mind non-upgradable RAM? My max budget would be around 3.5k - 4k. Battery life should be decent , doesnt have to be very long lasting. Screen also decent should be okay. Upgradedable RAM is preferred. Thanks.

Battery life and display doesnt really matter. 8gb RAM is enough for now. Also, what's the cheapest laptop that on the market currently that include gtx1060?

You need to bump up your budget a bit Lenovo Legion Y530 (customize)(15% student discount) Commandos Glock 5 (Clevo NB50TK1) Illegear Raven (TongFang GI5CN4E/5E) Cheapest doesn't mean good, Raven with 1060 would be my choice for a budget 1060 laptop, although the cooling can barely handle 8750H+1060 imo

To get student discount, you need to ask sales representative in the website chat tab Commandos is actually a brand from Tech Armory which is a reputable Clevo reseller in Malaysia. The model NB50TK1 is a good budget model. I have a review on it

Hello all.
1)Budget 700-1.5k (lower better) 2)Usage: To connect HDMI to TV, download stuffs, some MS office work 3)Requirement: SSD and HDMI port is preferable. Screen size, battery, weight doesnt matter. Stay at home 90% of time. If possible, non plastic casing, bad experience with plastic degrade overtime.
Thank you

want to ask for commando glock 5 and raven, is there any problem for the i5-8400 / gtx1050ti variant like cooling, throttling, etc..
for the specs i wanted, y530 would cost me 4.5k after 15% discount, while raven and glock 5 would cost me 4k. significantly lower cost.. so im thinking to get either one..
of this 3 laptops, which is the best in terms of cooling/durability/after sales?? is y530 worth the additional 500?
