Reliability

Then I would prefer gaming laptop more since you get more performance. Got many sales now due to 8th gen clearance

All with CFL i7:
Lenovo Legion Y530 81FV00M8MJ (1050TI, 144Hz), 81LB001GMJ (1060, low sRGB)
Commandos Glock 5
Asus GL503GE
Illegear Raven, Raven Lite - low sRGB IPS only
HP Omen 15-DC0093TX - low sRGB IPS
Dell G7 7588 - low sRGB IPS, a bit bulky

Thin and light:
Illegear Onyx Lite
Commandos Katana 5 (promo RM3999)

Will not recommend some 9th gen models for now until I get more info

Then get premium business laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad T490, T590, T480s, T480 20L5S15K00, T580, X390, X280 20KFS1H300
Dell Latitude 7390, 7490
HP Elitebook 830/840 G5

No preference on battery life?

I agree with ZM Fong - you need to buy a business laptop. You'll get support for 5 years , if something broke down you can easily replace it

Business laptops are meant to last since companies purchase like every 3-5 years

Tq Sifu, want to ask i5 and i7 got huge different mah? if future want to use photoshop, will i7 perform better? thinking of choosing i7-8565U, since now discount for this E590 i7-8565U is 47.7%

In most cases, no different. i7 ULV only slightly better in single core performance and has slightly more L3 cache. I would choose i5 ULV

If you can afford it , why not - go for it anyway - your money lol

However there is just slight boost in performance

Thank you for the list. Btw, what do you think about the custom built laptop like Illegear,commandos,aftershock,etc. I am not against them but the reason i asking this is because i don't have any purchasing experience with any of them. So, I may have some doubt and low confidence toward their build quality, aftersale customer service and etc. And also once someone told me this when i asked about the Illegear,:

"There's a reason you can't prebuild laptops like a desktop or tower. Most laptops by big companies are engineered to perfection being thin and light, amazing build quality etc. You can't get these trairs from "custom laptops" where they take existing components and slap them into a shell".

I mean, it is true that with that price, the spec is so attractive, but is it really worth buying it?

Depends on model actually. They are ODM resellers (Clevo, TongFang, Quanta) which means that they are 'real' manufacturers of laptops (in fact most laptop brands don't manufacture their own laptops). For customer service, Illegear and Level51 (Aftershock) are reputable so I don't see any problem on this.

'Most laptops by big companies are engineered to perfection being thin and light, amazing build quality etc. You can't get these trairs from "custom laptops" where they take existing components and slap them into a shell". Well IMO this is not entirely true

As long average battery life should be ok... as long the laptop lighweight and thin enough to carry to site.

How about illegear battery performance?

Again once you go gaming laptop you are not gonna get super long battery life - average can be anything

for some people 2hrs is okay. My question to you is do you wish to remain unplugged for long and do you wish to charge the computer via USB-C PD powerbank or not ?

Like I said, premium business laptop is the most suitable one if you want better reliability

No, don't mind

1650:
Illegear Raven - low sRGB IPS*

1050TI:
Illegear Onyx Lite
Commandos Glock 5
Lenovo Legion Y530 81FV016UMJ - low sRGB IPS
Dell G7 7588 (8750H+1050TI) - low sRGB IPS, a bit bulky
Illegear Raven Lite - low sRGB IPS

Not including some 9th gen models due to lack of info/reviews

I think will go for business laptop.... as long as can use autocad without lag

Are you rendering or viewing , viewing it's pretty fine - even MX250 can pump it well

Viewing and adjusting floor plan layout only...

That's fine - since you are not doing hardcore work

Any recomendation laptop from u?
