Budget so flexible? There are tons of options for such budget

Any preference on weight and battery life?

u can get i7-8550u with this price de bro.. vega graphic not tat impressive

so many choice to choose ... hehe .. can u recommend me i7 one with SSD and 16gb memory within 4k?

Budget: 3k
Usage: Graphic design (Photoshop, Illustrator and CorelDraw)
Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Good quality display, weight and battery life doesn't matter

Battery life... I suppose if I'm being really greedy I'd ask for 8 hours. (but I don't know what the average/realistic is)
Weight... I think whatever is fine, though now I'm thinking about the possibility of it being somehow too heavy for me to lift. (lel)

Maybe you can consider Thinkpad T480 with WQHD panel and MX150? Need to get promo code though

At least Vega 8/11 is better than Intel UHD. A485 has solid chassis taken from T480

with RM3600 price range... mx150 or gtx 1050 oso got de la..

How are the temps? Looks like it has a bad stock paste (I mean, really bad. 20C difference)

But loses battery life, build quality, keyboard, upgradability etc. There are many things to consider as well, not just specs. I agree that some ppl just looks at specs only which is wrong IMO. Display quality is worse in A485 though, sadly they don't have any panel upgrade options

from where u saw 20 degree differences? they use liquid metal?

Top up a bit can get Thinkpad A485:
Ryzen 5 Pro 2500U, 8GB dual channel, 256GB SSD, IPS, 24+72Wh battery (can choose lower capacity for lower weight), 3yr warranty

1. Acer Swift 3 SF314-54 with RAM upgrade
2. Lenovo Yoga 520/530 with RAM upgrade
3. Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM+SSD upgrades

If you don't mind lower battery life:
1. Dell Vostro 5471 with manual RAM+SSD upgrades
2. HP Pavilion x360 14 cd0036tx with RAM upgrade
3. HP Pavilion 14 ce0082/83tx with RAM+SSD upgrades
4. Dell Inspiron 7472 DFO with good sRGB IPS

Do you mind 13 inch laptops? Also, do you mind low sRGB IPS panel?

Is this ok?
Anyways I don't really mind with 13inch

Wow TMT sell so cheap...yeah the model itself is alright. Just need RAM (only 1 slot) and SSD (M.2) upgrades

Throw out existing ram and buy 8GB lah for this case?

SSD can install just like that right? Or have to throw out existing 500gb?

Various sources (based on Y530 owners). Just quality non conductive paste like Kryonaut

if see cooler master master gel 1 dun trust.. itu tak boleh pakai at all

I have the Mastergel Maker Nano...excellent paste overall

Here's a good guide on which thermal paste to buy for laptops, in case anyone needs it:

i tried on i7-8700k... tak bolek pakai... temperature control damn sux.. but it work on laptop ah?

8550U don't have much performance gain compared to 8250U. The extra money isn't worth it IMO

Any preference on weight, display size and battery life? Usage?
