I am considering to buy a laptop around RM3k. I have done some survey on the laptop. Could you guys recommend me which laptop to choose for among below three laptop? Or you guys have other recommendations as well. I put in Asus TUF FX505G because I am thinking to play Dota 2 or its better to buy a PC to play Dota 2 and exclude Asus TUF FX505G from the list.

1) Lenovo Ideapad 530S
2) Asus Vivobook S14
3) Asus TUF FX505G

Asus TUF laptops are quite bad. DOTA is not a demanding game so a MX150 would suffice. You could perhaps consider the Aspire 5/6 as well.

Absolute max budget? Usage? Any preference on weight, battery life and display size?

Maximum budget is RM3k after discount/promo and I do not need any free give. Usage is for working (need use Autocad software), web surfing, movie and only play Dota 2 (maximum 2 hours per day for Dota). No preference on weight and battery life. Display size I would prefer 14 inch will do as I would connect the laptop with desktop monitor with HDMI cable.

It's a good model, however take note:
If you want good battery life on this model, you MUST opt for 24+72Wh battery which increases weight
Also, there's no display upgrade option (higher sRGB panel) unlike T480
QC might not be as good as T480 / other premium business laptops like Latitude 7490

2500U and 2700U are basically same, only difference is iGPU performance. KBL-R / WHL ULV and Ryzen mobile APU have about the same multi core performance, however it depends on various factors like cooling, firmware etc

thanks for your input

1. Budget : RM1.5k - 1.8k
2. Usage : Just email, office and surfing
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : light weight, fast, maybe 12" - 13". OK with AMD, as long as fast. Best with SSD, but that is over budget? For traveling use.

It's a Clevo N850 which isn't that great

Since you prefer regular laptop more, here are the good models with MX150 GPU:
Lenovo Ideapad 530s 14 81EU00NRMJ / NSMJ / NTMJ / NUMJ
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54G-52L8 / 59WJ +RAM
Acer Swift 3 SF315-51G-55UH / 56T6 - non-upgradable RAM
Acer Aspire 5 A615-51G-53QF +RAM+SSD - 1 yr warranty only
HP Pavilion 15-CS0033TX / 15-CS1026TX +RAM+SSD - short battery life

In case you want gaming laptop, you can refer to my gaming laptop list (note that prices aren't up to date)

Budget is low unless you don't mind slow CPU and 4GB RAM

If screen size goes to 14" and normal hdd instead of ssd? Can make it within budget? Speed is important, slow bootup is not preferred. I know those celeron or power saving slow cpu are cheaper, but they are not preferred. I rather up the budget a little and see how. 4GB ram is fine, cos light use. Nothing serious. Not going to open 50 browser tabs. Maybe just 10.

Acer Aspire 3 A315-41G-R7HY, barely passable overall build quality and poor battery life. RAM+SSD upgrades are preferred
