Hey guys, need some recommendation for a gaming laptop, budget is RM4000, but with 2 requests:
1. Good cooling solution like 2 heatsink 1 for the CPU, 1 for the GPU which the heatsink is far away from each other unlike the Acer Nitro 5 which combines both cooling into 1 heatsink
2. Must have Thunderbolt 3 connector - Need to connect a USB type C docking station so I can connect 2 external monitors, I use my laptop for work too

PS: Thunderbolt 3 may look like a usual USB Type-C connector but it offers much more than your typical Type-C connector

No offer been made yet. Wanna see if any ultrabook with similar build quality or performance as my zenbook 3 deluxe. Any brand would be okay. I can opt for other brand for full refund and pick recommended model if any.

Get this spec:
i5-8265U, W10 Home, 8GB RAM (dual channel recommended if you don't need upgrade in future), 500GB HDD, no SSD (add later), FHD IPS, iGPU, optional backlit keyboard and fingerprint reader, 65W adapter, Intel 9260

Good cooling solution doesn't depend on number of heatpipes and design only

Any preference on weight and battery life? If you want TB3, Dell G7 might be the only option

Any idea about the ASUS FX505? Is the cooling solution good?
Just found out that Dell produces the Dell D6000 universal docking station that would work with any laptop, so Thunderbolt 3 is no longer a requirement

Also, what's the difference between FX504 & FX505? Tried googling but couldn't find any good answers

Asus FX is mediocre (Ryzen models are acceptable)

No preference on weight and battery life?

The lighter the better offcourse
May I ask why is the Ryzen models is better than Intel?

Max weight in kg?

Less heat, however the cooling still cannot handle 1660TI/1060

Anyone has best offer buy Laptop from website Acer or Levono website

1. Budget : 2500 max
2. Usage : home use, web browsing, document processing
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : SSD? If without HDD also ok, won't be storing many files on it.

Any preference on display size and battery life?

I realised I wouldn't really game. But once in ahwhile I would play CS:GO, overwatch and Apex Legends. Most of the time I'll be on work/browsing.

I saw a MSI PS42-8RB-430MY last unit for sale at SenQ for rm3399. i5 + mx150 2gb gddr5 + 8gb ram + 256gb ssd.

Also researched that it should be using the mx150 25w version.

Wonder if this is worth it.

Or would I be better off with HP Pavilion 15-cs2010tx (i5+ 4gb + mx250 + 256gb ssd) for 27XX 🤔

Wouldn't recommend PS42, build quality not on par with its price

Any preference on weight, battery life and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

Weight: <2.5kg
Battery: >3/4 hours
Display: Don't really mind sRGB as long as decent. 13-15.6" is fine.
RAM: Prefer dual-channel ram i think

Looking for a laptop for general office and net surfing.
Budget 3k, preferably with 8g ram. Screen 14 and above

RM 3159 - with 8GB of RAM , 128GB SSD and i5....slightly over your budget...

OK with dual channel soldered RAM and single channel upgradable RAM?

Forgot to ask, what's your budget?

Any preference on battery life?

Both options are ok. Prefer 2.8-3.5k if possible.

Actually you can go for gaming laptop just like the previous recommendation. Nothing wrong buying gaming laptop even though you don't game much since some models meets your weight and battery life requirements. Got new 1650 models aldy
