QC in laptops has dropped in recent years due to mass production

Thank you for the clarification.

This or get Swift or Zenbook at similar price?

RM3,470.11 after eCoupon. Anyway, is the eCoupon got expired date? Or the coupon is just a gimmick from my Google search record?

Wow good deal...if you don't mind the look then definitely T480. Sadly no more customization (probably EOL soon due to arrival of T490)

Can customise but super mahal. Not sure why tho, that's why I afraid this price got limit. I wonder how long does the battery in the above spec can last since T have battery optimisation.

As for the T490, how much difference in laptop CPU performance we're talking about? E490 seems like on the way already but the CPU is just slight faster?

And for those who familiar with Lenovo, will the new release make the old laptop cheaper than they're now?

Found this Level 51 - Forge 15 laptop, spec quite not bad
https://www.level51pc.co/welcome/ProductconfigRec/forge-15

Intel® Core™ i7-9750H Processor
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 3GB
8GB (8GB x 1) DDR4 2666MHZ
256GB M.2 NVME ULTRA FAST SSD
1TB Toshiba HDD
Windows 10 64 Bit

Total - MYR3723

But they didn't have 100% sRGB options, their screen is only at 72% sRGB. My questions is that, does 72% sRGB sufficient for minor design or video editing? Or it is preferably to have 100% sRGB for student / future working purpose as a designer?

As a designer, ideally get something with 100% sRGB coverage.

Around 8 hrs I think

CPU performance is about the same for i5-8250U and i5-8265U especially in multi core performance. The problem is, T490 is not like business laptop, more towards Ultrabook. No more removable battery, slimmer+lighter, has 1 soldered RAM. I prefer T480 more. E series is consumer grade, not a 'true' business laptop

Prices of older models aldy cheaper in their website

It's a Clevo NH57 FYI. I believe that you can choose higher sRGB display option

Will probably review this model so stay tuned

Umm for that price it is okay , nothing much to shout about ....later you can buy a monitor and just get 100% sRGB..for student work , if you are learning designing , it should be fine

Thinkpad have boring design , over the years it has not evolved much except now they make in grey colour and carbon fibre...apart from that it just's boring....

T480 is legendary. You can upgrade the battery , the RAM , HDD , even add WLAN card....I say just go pick and get it

The extra money you can upgrade , T-series are known for their durability....

Okay, not sure why but now the price increased by Rm100 and the eCoupon changed too. I noticed since few nights ago, the eCoupon is different at night time.

Hi, can i ask a question? my GF wanted to get a new laptop for her normal usage daily. She is a music teacher that use laptop to search and buy music score and printing and normal usage. So if i can get some suggestion to get her a new laptop is much appreciated. Budget range up to RM1500.

Usually for that budget I would suggest used/refurb. If really want new you have to settle down with slow CPU and 4GB RAM (cannot upgrade)

i see, where can i find and look for used/refurb? any website (can be trusted) or any walked in store (staying at Ipoh).

My First Post on this thread:

Budget: RM3000 - RM3500
Usage : iTunes to backup iphone, Watch Youtube , Office Work (using Microsoft Word, Excel file), browsing web
Requirement: Must can install the latest version of iTunes , if possible Able to run Photoshop cause future might need this

* Something Fast & Multitask Friendly. (Wont lag when opening a lot of tab of program)

* Laptop's Ram upgradability

* Got Service Centre at KL, don't want to get caught out not being able to service it under warranty if needed.

* I don't require touch screen or 2-in-1. Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

Post that answer ZM Fong Question:

I dont mind bout the weight, if posibble battery life can use up to 4 hours is better but not priority.

(My current laptop is ACER MODEL MS2343 / Aspire 4755G Year 2011 Manufactor with Screen/Display14 inch HD LCD 16:9, 1366 x 768 pixel, glossy)

Above column is my current laptop hope can upgrade for my future laptop on display size and sRGB display. TQ

Online (go for those with 1 yr warranty) or yik foong

Get a SSD. If you want more storage then get another HDD or bigger SSD (not all models have 2.5 inch+M.2 combo)

Go for i5 8th gen

RAM must at least 8GB, if got dual channel better (not all models have 2 RAM slots)
