Maybe around 280 nits (limited knowledge here)? I would mostly spend time working indoors. But if I have to use it outdoors (not direct sunlight, maybe outside mamak), I hope at least I can still work with the laptop.

Most low end IPS panels have 200-250 nits, so I think you still need to increase your budget, unless you're fine with outdated hardware in used/refurb stuffs

Any preference on weight and battery life for both laptops? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

Do thermal test first

Also clean Windows install is recommended (not reset)

sorry out of topic, but what software do you recommend to check/monitor for thermals.

huawei nova & nova lite got different boh.. try to avoid any lite version... i pay few thousand to learn the lesson

aiyo, dont bring smartphone comparison to notebooks lah.
and not all "lite" means theres hidden inferior qualities.

as for illegear case, their branding of "lite" and "elite" means certain customization differences (usually gpu related).

take onyx that OP was asking about.

the difference is onyx is updated with rtx gpu. the rest everything else remains the same.
so for onyx lite, its with gtx gpu instead. the rest is the same with normal onyx.. so in no way by going for onyx lite the user will "regret" like you are implying for smartphones where usually the lite versions have a lot of cutbacks from their regular sibling..

another one is raven, they have raven and raven "elite".
raven = 1050/1050ti gpu
raven elite + 1060 gpu..

9570 battery lasts longer . All the tests shows that , anyway to be fair it needs to be compared apple to apple


however i5 with FUll HD screen can easily get 8hrs on battery life (surfing with minimum brightness)

Thanks Bro.

Was wondering, on the after sales side or after warranty period,
would it be hard/expensive on the parts if I were to get Huawei Matebook ?

Huawei matebook is one of my preferred choice.

also Thinking of Lenovo Ideapad 330 15" / Asus Vivobook S15 / Acer Aspire E15 blush.gif rclxub.gif

1. No idea on the quality of Huawei aftersales
2. 3 options you've mentioned above aren't that good
