It's the same with KBL-R, nothing to hype

Yeah, the improvements are not marginal other than higher Turbo clockspeed, larger L3 cache sizes and hardware mitigation against Meltdown and L1TF while still being a 14 nm node. Ooh well, I suppose it will still give the fanboys something to shout about la ...

The higher turbo speed will be the same with KBL-R and cannot reach the full potential. Same architecture

Can't wait dy, i need to buy one by early Oct then go study oversea. Laptop in the destination country is much more expensive than MY

dell vostro 5471
i7 around rm3800

1. Budget : Any brand
2. Usage : Excel, Word, web surfing, ocassional adobe lightroom for light editing of travel photos
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Display 14/15" (Also, I have a Kingston A1000 nvme 250gb, can this fit into laptops?)
4. Budget: RM2.2k

Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM upgrade. Add the SSD into it

So, the I can add the Kingston nvme SSD myself right? How much is it with RAM upgrade (8GB right?) How does this compare to Acer Swift 3?
Is the 320s TN display? Any recommended shop to buy from?

Yes
You need to trade in the original 4GB since there's only 1 slot. Maybe around RM100 to upgrade to 8GB
Acer Swift 3 is similar but with optional MX150
IPS
Buy online from sellers with physical stores

This is interesting! Will it be comparable with 1050 performance?

It's still using the same iGPU - R5 Vega 8 and R7 Vega 11. Just higher clocks and higher TDP. Still no 6c12t BGA chip which is kinda disappointing

i hope got 4lane TB3 only.. haha

external gpu better

What do people think of this Lenovo laptop? I am looking for a laptop that is lightweight.
Main usage is Microsoft Office. Little browsing and movies but mainly for work.

Lenovo Ideapad 320S-13IKB 81AK000WMJ 13.3" Laptop/Notebook (i5-8250U, 4GB, 256GB, Intel, W10H)

Budget around 2500. Would be nice to have good battery life as well

Ideapad 320s 14 has better battery life. 320s 13 cannot upgrade RAM which is a bummer and has smaller battery. It has good quality (high sRGB) panel though.

So the specs are the same as the 13? Only difference is the screen size?

320s 13 has 256GB SSD included, however it cannot be recommended due to lack of RAM upgradability (4GB RAM is terrible IMO). 320s 14 need RAM+SSD upgrades but manual upgrades should be cheaper

1. Budget : Any brand
2. Usage : Graphic Designing/Rendering, casual web browsing, Youtube etc
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Display 14/15", Lightweight easy to carry around (Coz being used by art college student)
4. Budget: RM2.5k

Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM+SSD upgrades. TBH there aren't much good options for such budget
