QUOTE(dEviLs @ Oct 5 2018, 11:26 AM) Hi there, i am also looking at this option but was quoted almost 3k with 4GB RAM & 128GB SSD upgrade You can buy this model under 2.5k. 4GB RAM+120/128GB SSD upgrades are around RM300 If you don't do much gaming, Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM+SSD upgrades This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Oct 5 2018, 11:59 AM |

QUOTE(emoxiiaocheng98 @ Oct 5 2018, 04:03 PM) yup~i am student...haha I suggest Y530 with 15% student discount (1050TI with 144Hz IPS), however the delivery takes timeI think 1050 is ok....I think play much pc games... Other options: Illegear Raven - optional 144Hz IPS Dell G7 - only 1050 GPU and low sRGB IPS display Commandos Glock 5 (Clevo NB50TK1) - optional 72% NTSC 60Hz, 144Hz or UHD IPS 16GB RAM is recommended for your usage |

QUOTE(dEviLs @ Oct 5 2018, 04:19 PM) Sorry should have been clearer - Same: HP Pavilion 15 cs0033tx with RAM+SSD upgradesBudget - Below RM3k Usage - Mostly Ms Office, surfing, watching movie and if gaming will be only Football Manager. Display - 15' Weight - Below 2kg Battery Life - no preference, anything above 4hours considered good ? All in all hope to get one that can last maybe 3-4 years Thanks  Or Acer Swift 3 15 (old model with soldered RAM) - i5-8250U+iGPU, i5-8250U+MX150 or R5-2500U+RX540 (not recommended) |

QUOTE(DrEaMmyZ @ Oct 7 2018, 12:38 AM) 1. Budget : RM2.5k-3k Are you a student? If yes, you can get Y530 with 15% student discount2. Usage : Gaming(mainly Dota 2, if the laptop can play newer titles would be nice too) & programming. 3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : - The optimal display size I want would be 15" or more, but 14" is fine too. - Battery life doesn't matter to me. - Weight doesn't matter. - Probably any brands besides acer ? |

QUOTE(DrEaMmyZ @ Oct 7 2018, 07:21 PM) Yes I am, do they have the option to deliver internationally ? Cause I'm currently in UK right now. Then you have to make purchase in UK which has entirely different market (models, prices) |

QUOTE(wanritsu @ Oct 8 2018, 08:33 PM) 1. Budget : RM 2k max Vivobooks are generally mediocre. For your budget, I suggest you to go used if you really need 15 inch2. Usage : Buying laptop for my mom. No need for anything fancy lol. Mostly for surfing. Sometimes Microsoft Office. No gaming. Maybe for watching movies once in a while. 3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 15' monitor Prefer ASUS was thinking about one of those vivobooks. Thank you sifus  |

QUOTE(capsulr @ Oct 9 2018, 06:04 AM) So are there any good laptops with a GTX 1060 that is cheap with good screen and keyboard at RM 4.5K -5K that I should consider? Or does anyone know if there will be a refresh from Dell and lenovo soon and I should wait? First: Avoid Helios 300 and FX504GM, bad cooling and OKish build quality. Unless you don't mind thatCan consider these: 1. Illegear Raven (TongFang GJ5CN6E) with 1060 and 144Hz IPS. Can choose in house mechanical keyboard which is similar to blue switches. I suggest you to take i5 8300H since 8750H runs hot. 2. Commandos Carbine 5 (Clevo N950TP6). Keyboard is nothing special though. Comes with desktop CPU. I suggest you to take i5 8400. 3. Level51 W15 Lite (Clevo N950TP6) with 120Hz TN. Same explanation with Carbine 5. |

Max weight you can accept?Budget: 7k CPU: i7 or higher (may not be relevant RAM : 16/32GB Weight: If possible, below 2kg, but not a high priority, yet. Uses : Highly aggressive photoshop. Note: Memory(RAM) is top priority. |

QUOTE(hi54ever @ Oct 10 2018, 05:12 PM) thanks guys, some pm-ed as well. how was lenovo quality over time? aftersales service? they just release their 1060 version of y530 and seems like pretty good competition for others. Asus and msi seems having poor quality from what i read. Quality: Depends on model, not brandAftersales service: Onsite is pretty good (takes a few days, unlike Dell), carry in also good. I would say it depends on luck and which service centers since I've heard both good and bad stories Y530 with 1060 has very good value Asus and MSI has good and bad models, however their quality has indeed dropped compared to a few years ago (same goes with other brands, though not that significant) |

QUOTE(Jay1221 @ Oct 10 2018, 05:51 PM) LENOVO Y530, i5 with GTX 1060 6 GB looks promising..,but can it chasis handle the thermal from the gpu and cpu? 8300H+1060 - no problem, the GPU still has plenty of cooling roomIf 8750H+1060, it might struggle a bit since 8750H runs hot |

QUOTE(scootersRcool @ Oct 10 2018, 04:55 PM) Welp, round 2. 1. Thinkpad T480s/T480sBudget: 7k CPU: i7 or higher (may not be relevant RAM : 16/32GB Weight: If possible, below 2kg, but this is flexible. Battery life: 7-8+ hours? (or whatever is reasonable) Uses : Highly aggressive photoshop. Note: Memory(RAM) is top priority. WQHD panel MX150 25W (10W in T480s) Optional 96Wh battery (T480) 2. Thinkpad T580 UHD panel MX150 25W Optional 105Wh battery 3. ThinkPad X1 Extreme 8300H+1050TI MQ, 8GB, 256GB Some throttling due to thin chassis (8300H should be fine) 4. Dell XPS 15 9570 8300H+1050, 8GB, 256GB, 100% sRGB 400nits FHD IPS display, 97Wh battery Cooling and VRM throttling issues, some QC issues FYI, i5 and i7 ULV don't have much performance difference unless single core performance and the extra 2-3MB L3 cache are very important to you. Note that I didn't include options with soldered RAM ONLY, even they come with 16GB RAM. @myway1985, any Dell Latitudes/Precisions with big battery and good quality display to recommend? |
