Thank you.. Which store you normally check at? Btw, is there Lenovo IP 330-15IKB-81DE00EEMJ/EFMJ/EDMJ and Acer E5-476G-5413/50WA model good?

I'm looking at buying a new gaming laptop, but I found out that the new GTX 16 series is launching soon. Should I wait or does it not matter?

gtx 1660ti pc only

if you don't care about battery life and weight, gaming laptop can be an option but you need to do some tweaks in order to let it run cooler

Every model has different build quality. For reliability it kinda like lottery (depends on luck), however it the laptop runs hot for a long time then surely it will not last long

Undervolt, set lower turbo ratio limit and set best battery life mode

Usually I check online but sometimes need to go to physical stores

Mediocre models

Any preference on weight and battery life? Need good sRGB display?

Thank you.. then i stick to LENOVO 330s-14IKB 81F400G1MJ or the ACER A515-52G-547K/58R8.. Thanks again..

Thanks!
Just learnt about thermal repasting- seems quite risky (for inexperienced like me) - how essential is this (and how often to do)?

Appreciate all the advice!

330s-14IKB isn't a good recommendation anymore...I checked the battery size and it's a 30Wh...updated in the laptop list

sorry for the confusion

Everyone will have the first time doing it...not risky as long as you know the precautions

It's not required 100% but most laptops come with bad stock paste...so it's recommended

You're welcome

ok so my laptop hunting ends for now..

i decided to pull the trigger for the y530 i5 + 1060 already.. overall best value for me i guess.

wish i could wait till May where the i5+ 2060 comes out but i need it urgently..

An i5 2060 configuration will be noticeably more expensive than an i5 1060 configuration

enjoy waiting haha

got use student discount? remember to check thermals (check heatsink working properly or not)

i see.. in that case, can i know if 2-2.5k what you'll recommend? for studies ny.. super light gaming.. thanks again..

say, what range of battery size is considered good? Do i just look for laptop with highest battery size + CPU and screen size that i need?

Edit: hi, i checked online and found this.. http://www.techhypermart.com/notebooks/len...rated-w10h.html is the site wrong about the battery capacity?

yeah i know, but i wouldnt mind spending more cause its for something new and in a way "future" proofing as well, could well easily last beyond 2~3 years..

the i5+ 2060 y540 coming in May is said to be about 4~5k price range depending on config.

i got this i5+1060 for 4.5k..

will do once i get it in my hands. if anything i will definitely consult back with you since youre also using one

Lenovo Ideapad 320S-14IKBR 81BN002XMJ / 81BN0071MJ / 81BN0072MJ +RAM+SSD

Lenovo store says 330s-14IKB has 2 cell battery which means 30Wh
