Build quality is flimsy those days but improved in newer version. Using the word 'trash' is inappropriate imo Personally I choose model - if the model has good cooling and build quality then I'll recommend. Again, everyone has different perspective and opinions

Getting Started

Hi everyone, need some recommendation from you guys:
1. Budget : Rm3-5k
2. Usage: Support Engineering software such as Solidworks and so on, Movie, Browse internet, (Bachelor Students use only)
3. Requirements: - Processor: Intel Core i5/i7 HQ or U (Please give me some advice for this. Note: Not a gamer) - RAM: 16GB (Due to Solidworks requirement) - Graphic Cards: as long as it supports Engineering software - Display: 15 inch
*Looking for Gaming Laptop because of the HQ Processor. Am currently using Asus S56cm 3rd gen Ultra Low Voltage Processor (U) i7 and was so laggy when i open Solidworks and it can't run smoothly. My friends told me that better go for HQ than U Processor because HQ can perform better.
*Most importantly is warranty. If it is possible, an international warranty with the requirements that i mentioned will be perfect. Will be studying abroad.
Laptop that I am considering right now:
Raven SE (Note: If Raven SE, should i go for 1TB SSD without brand as i saw their promotion for Raya right now or 256 SSD Samsung/ without brand + 1TB HDD/SSHD) Y540 G15 2019
If anyone of you knows some better laptop, feel free to reply the post wink.gif
Thank you everyone!
