QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Nov 2 2018, 02:04 PM) Pros: Good build quality, good keyboard, excellent display, good cooling (for its size), great audio Cons: Bad battery life (has Optimus switch), a bit heavy (for a thin gaming laptop), uses thermal paste on VRMs (common in Asus gaming laptops), bad 'chewing gum' stock paste, typical Asus QC Would you recommend it? Are there more better laptop than Zephyrus M? |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Nov 2 2018, 03:55 PM) Y530 - i5+1050/1050TI model is expensive if customize G7 - low sRGB IPS (no upgrade option), a bit heavy Omen 15 dc - a bit expensive (especially 8750H+1050 model), low sRGB IPS (except 1060 6GB model) Helios 300 - bad cooling, OKish build quality, low sRGB IPS (i5 model), a bit heavy Personally I don't just look at value, there are many things to consider when purchasing laptop Noted, I guess theres nothing much choice to pick for budget 3k+. Any other good choice to pick? want at least i5 8th gen, gtx1050 and 8gb ram with good cooling design. Thanks. |

2. Usage : surfing, Microsoft office, videos, entertainment sometimes (like dota2)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- Preferably 13inch
- >6 hours batt life the longer the better
- Any weight (I dont mind whether its laptop or ultrabook)
- no 2in1
Basically an overall laptop
