It's marketed as Malaysia as JOI..you can just search - if you want local support/brand presence

You pay slightly more but then you know they have shops here la and can assist you with it

budget : <3.5k
use : college, light-med gaming, DAW

prefer big battery life, don't want to charge in school

Min how many hours of battery life you prefer?
No preference on weight and display size?
Mind low sRGB display?
Mind non-upgradable RAM?

Around 6 for medium use should be good

Prefer around 15 inch, weight not really important but as light as possible since I have to carry it around

no preference for display

ram not an issue

Acer Swift 3 SF315-51G-55UH/56T6 - non-upgradable RAM
Acer Aspire 5 A615-51G-53QF +RAM+SSD - 1 yr warranty only

If you're OK with gaming laptop, can consider Dell G7 (8300H+1050 with SSD upgrade), although it's a bit heavy

Update on my upcoming reviews:
1. Will post Illegear Onyx RTX review and Selenite RTX review soon
2. Will do a live review on Level51 Slate-15 and Slate-17 next week (who wants to join me? haha)
3. Might do a review on Vivobook S530UN, see whether it can convince me to recommend it or not despite its OK-mediocre reviews

dell g7 is something I would like, but the price is a bit out of my budget, are there any with atleast a 1050 that are <3.5k ?

actually is the s510 or s530 better?

My parents arent convinced that I buy Lenovo.com even if I decide to, so I want to ask about your experiences buying on Lenovo's website so that I could convince my parents as they just don't trust buying expensive stuff online

EDIT: found this, is it worth it? https://www.lazada.com.my/products/lenovo-i...524bcGnJR6&mp=1

what model are you trying to buy from Lenovo's online store?

You could prehaps mention that it's much much more affodable to buy off Lenovo's website.

It's in your budget, don't buy from Dell website

Of course S530...S510 build quality meh

I was thinking about the E485/A485, but since I found the Ideapad 530s off Lazada I might go for that one.

For 530s 14 you can buy from Lazada/Shopee. Same model. Cheaper prices too

Yeah the link I posted is from Lazada. Lenovo.com does not sell the 530s. 530s battery should be fine right? I might be buying on the 27th since it's Lazada sale.

They did. 530s 14 and 15

530s 14 has good battery life (>8hrs)

Best I found was 3499, it's within my budget but I was wondering if you have any links that are cheaper than that ?

RM3199

Tell your parents , buying online or customizing it means you get fresh new stocks , vs something that is there for couple of months in the warehouse...

Level51 start to sell TongFang barebones now in Malaysia...cheaper than Illegear Onyx and Selenite (same chassis)
