QUOTE(1setsuna1 @ Feb 19 2019, 03:20 PM) After checking all the model, I actually find the Yoga 15 fits pretty well. The plus points that I see is that it has Thunderbolt Type C USB, PCIe SSD, and standalone Nvidia graphics card in case I decide to play some more recent games. It's a good model, just be aware of the fairly small battery and GPU temp limit (common in convertibles)Any comments/thoughts on the laptop is much appreciated.  |

Hi, I've recently got Zenbook 14 (UX433F) and I notice there's a metallic/plastic smell on it. It's quite strong because I could smell it right after I took the laptop out of its box. Is that normal for a new laptop?

From my readings, this model is popular with overheating... virtual machines can be demanding but lower your expectations and they can run fine on U-series Intel processors. These U-series Intel processor laptops can be obtained for around RM2000 with the IdeaPad 330S however U-series Intel processors are found in all other sorts of laptops including the Aspire 5, VivoBook S510/S530, Inspiron 14 5480 (I heard of poor battery compared to competitors) and more. If you need more power with H-series Intel processors, the Nitro 5 is one of the more affodable offering at around RM3000 but not recommended. Most affodable H-series Intel laptop that I recommend is the Illegear Raven. |

But sell it due to underutilized, as i'm no longer playing game at PC. More to PS4 nowadays... |

Long story short, as I got serious in to getting a new laptop I was made aware of ZM Fong 'Gaming laptops approval list (Malaysia)'. Out of all the laptops listed from RM3000 to RM3999 under the "CFL-H (8th gen)" list, the Raven was the most affodable option. Might look into it. I used to own an Illegear Z5 Skylake 970M.
