Guys, looking to replace my 7-year old desktop with a laptop since my desktop is dying on me.

Budget - around 3k
Usage - office work, with a lot of gaming (dota, PUBG, Skyrim, etc)

With my desktop, I’m running dual 24’ monitor with 1x 27’ monitor, planning to maybe sell off the dual 24’ and use the 27’ for my main screen, or just sell all 3 and get a bigger screen, so preferably maybe a 14’ laptop.

HDD + SSD is a must, got data to store in my HDD, or if no HDD would need at least 240gb SSD as I can recycle storage from my desktop.

Battery life not that important as don’t think will use the battery much, but durability should be good, and preferably laptop with easy back panel access in case I want to upgrade the ram/HDD.

Budget too low for a good gaming laptop

Try Acer Nitro 5 for 2.8K. Then get a Kingston A400 480GB for 270 or Sandisk 3D Nand 500GB for 350. Bam. Perfect Entry level Gaming laptop that can play all the games you mentioned.

Hi Sifu, planedn to buy laptop for my sister TONITE!!. She's not a gamer nor heavy user. Just a normal girl using Ms words, Excel, Powerpoint, FBing, surfing and Utube. Her budget is RM2k. So I guess, a decent and average kind/model will do.

I checked with my IT friend he recommended me a list as follows:
1. Dell 15 (i3/4GB/500GB) = RM 1850
2. Dell 3480 (i3/4GB/500GB) = RM 2140
3. Dell 14 (i3/4GB/500GB) = RM 1800
4. Lenovo Ideapad (N4000/4GB/500GB) = RM 1300
5. Asus (R3/$GB/1TB) = RM 1950

i copy exactly what he type to me. Not sure the model number or the processor are right. also, please recommend me which one is the best and robust and suitable. will be going Digital Mall PJ after work.

Thanks in advance! notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

If you want a premium business laptop, can take a look at Thinkpad T series, though they are above your budget

Vostro and Thinkpad E series are just consumer rebrand

There aren't many good options under 3k:
Acer Spin 5 13 - soldered RAM
Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 Ryzen 81BR0054/55MJ - CPU performance and battery life issues, soldered RAM

Hi sifus, looking for a thin and light laptop for normal usage (microsoft office, youtube) and gaming (Dota, Black dessert online, mobile emulator and etc) since I often moving around due to work arrangement. Dont have to operate in ultra end graphic, a decent graphic setting will do. Also, must have a decent cooling system since sometimes the accommodation provided don't have air-cond.

Currently dont know the budget yet (obviously not looking for RM10k+ laptop). Just looking at what the normal price range and best brand of laptop i can get. Thank you.

Fine with lower end GPU like MX150? Preferred max weight in kg and min battery life in hours? Any preference on display size and display quality (sRGB)?

Every brand has good and bad models

My father prefer new things.

Not second hand model. What about HP CS-DA0006/0007TX? My father said can top up.

Thanks

I am ok around 4~5K. Do not want slim design.

Display >= FHD. 15" will do.

Used only for programming. GPU is good to have.
