QUOTE(NamiaSc @ Mar 14 2019, 05:08 PM) Thanks for the reply! About 7 hours or around there for the battery. The reason not choosing HP because he had some bad experience with his previous HP laptop and wanted to try something different. But I'm open to suggestions if there's any HP lineup that fits the criteria. Thank you! Acer Swift 3 SF315-51G-55UH / 56T6, Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-520J / 54ZB - non-upgradable RAM Can up budget more? There aren't many decent 15 inch models with good battery life in this budget

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Mar 14 2019, 09:38 PM) Only limited to 2 options? I found these two, which are not that heavy (2.3kg) and that the price is around RM4000. Asus FX505 has one variant which is i5-8300H with GTX1060 But for Legion, the model with GTX 1060 is priced higher. My main usage is for CAD and some light gaming. Sometimes will carry around. 3 to 4 hours battery life is fine for me. I am open to other suggestions.

Max budget RM4200 You don't need 1060, 1050TI will do Commandos Glock 5, Illegear Raven and Lenovo Legion Y530 (can customize - 15% student discount available, got premade model also - 81FV016UMJ). I got reviews on all 3 Or Dell G7 8750H+1050TI, but low sRGB FHD IPS only Make sure you have at least 8GB RAM (dual channel recommended) and SSD. Can upgrade by yourself also, cheaper
