hi, need recommendation for a new laptop. your advice for Ux430ua the previous time served me well, unfortunately it got stolen. sad.gif

Hoping you can give me good advice again.

1: budget 3-4.5k
2. screen size 15'. (wanting a bigger screen this time)
3. battery and weight does not matter. gonna leave it on my bed and plugged in most of the time.
4. purpose to watch movies, light streaming.

Acer Aspire 5 A615-51G-53QF+RAM+SSD

With small battery/poor battery life:

HP Pavilion 15-CS0033TX / 15-CS1026TX +RAM+SSD
Lenovo Yoga 730 15 - with GTX 1050

Let me know if you have other options in mind

Thank you once again for the excellent suggestions.

leaning towards Acer, either Swift 3 SF315-51G- or Aspire 5 A515-52G
but was also having a look at illegear raven that is having promo now for I5 8300h & GTX1050 RM3,199

I will be adding ram and ssd for the A515 which will bring me to almost the same price as the raven.

which is a better option based on your expertise?
