Illegear Raven with 144Hz IPS - with fan control software 2. Asus GL503GE - need to find good deal 3. Commandos Glock 5 with 120Hz IPS - idle fan noise needs some tuning For your budget, you won't get a decent laptop with 1060 GPU unless you're willing to sacrifice cooling and some build quality

Hello all, feel free to add your own opinion of what laptop to get
Budget: 3.5k-4.5k, max 5k if really necessary.
Usage: VERY light gaming (oldschool runescape lol), Beginner coding, media consumption.
Requirement: - Battery life: min 5 hours battery life for light usage. If can go to 7-8 even better - Display: 13''/15'', preferably 1080p screen to save battery - Weight: 1.3kg-2kg - Brand: No preference as long as can last me 3-4 years minimum - Good keyboard - No need: touch-screen & convertible/2-in-1
Basically looking for an ultrabook, but not sure what to go. Friends keep recommending me Macbookpro & XPS. Any ideas, sifus?

No one can guarantee a laptop (any brand) can definitely last long, it mainly depends on luck I probably do not need dGPU for my usage. I don't need macOS and i probably don't mind low sRGB display since my current laptop doesn't have a good display anyway and i'm kinda okay with it.

Hi guys
Between these 2, which is better. I lean more towards Asus due to SSHD inclusion as I'll be using this laptop for a lot of office works & photoshop. Gaming usually FF XV & planning ahead for DMC5. But HP omen has thunderbolt port & 144hz screen. My budget is 5K & if you guys have other recommendations within the price bracket, please suggest away. Tq This post has been edited by Arool: Oct 4 2018, 08:41 PM

Any preference on weight and battery life? Omen dc only has 144Hz panel in 1060 6GB model (in Malaysia)
