Budget (including upgrades)? Usage? Preferred max weight, min battery life and display size?

How do these two fare against each other? I'm not sure about the intel integrated GPU, I heard these are underwhelming in performance

Swift 3 - good model, HP 15-da - mediocre model

What's your budget? Usage? Any preference on weight, display size and battery life?

Can consider Level51 Forge 15. 8GB RAM+512GB SSD included. Thin bezels. Build quality is OK only but still acceptable. Very good cooling

If you don't mind slightly thicker bezels then Illegear Raven Lite

Hi, I'm looking for a laptop to last a few years,

Budget: 4k
Usage: Premiere Pro/Illustrator/Occasional gaming
Screen Size: 15" and below

Weight should be as low as possible though, preferably around 2kg. Would love a thin bezel display too. Went to illegear, but their Onyx didn't have the 6 core i7 in stock and they will not be restocking it. Any other recommendations?

Neither - A515-52G has flimsy build quality, Pavilion 15-cs has poor battery life

No preference on battery life?

Gaming laptop with around 2kg weight usually aren't cheap, might want to change requirement or up budget. Or stick with i5-8300H+1050TI Onyx Lite

Thoughts on the Level51 Forge 15? Seems to have better specs than the Onyx for around the same price.

See my review. TL;DR: decent, superior cooling. But it has ~2.2kg weight

Also can consider Illegear Raven (~2.2kg)

1-2k, I do a bit of gaming and GPU heavy stuff like 60fps rendering. No preference on weight but a display that doesn't glare much is preferable. Long lasting battery would be good, I'd like it if there was a HDD + SSD combo in there.

Your budget is quite tight...so you need dGPU? Min how many hours of battery life you prefer?

Yeah quite tight. Dedicated GPU, yes. But isn't a priority though, integrated with good reviews are fine too. About 4-6 hours of battery life on light usage? Though I try not to run it down to 0%.
