Haven't been able to sleep for a few nights now, thinking of what laptop to buy
I'm just too damn picky.

I'm aiming for GTX 1060, either acer predator or asus tuf.
So see see, Asus TUF actually give the 120hz screen for i7 @ RM 5K, shit. Ok go for acer predator then.
Acer predator helios 300 just fits it so well at RM 3.6K, but I just found out that this i5 version ALSO does not come with the 144hz screen, only with the i7 @ rm 5K as well, what the hell.

The 60hz screen provided colour accuracy and brightness SUCKS SO MUCH ASS, so I am thinking about upgrading the screen, RM 300, then upgrade ram, 8gb ddr4 another RM 300.
Fuck suddenly already tambah 600 out of nowhere, laptop become RM 4,200 now for an i5 and so much additional work to put in, plus the keyboard sucks as well.

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?

try this.older model

Alienware 13 R3 Gaming Laptop Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ (Quad-Core, 6MB Cache, up to 3.8GHz w/ Turbo Boost) 8GB DDR4 at 2667MHz (1x8GB) 256GB PCIe SSD (Boot) NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5 Windows 10 Home  13.3 inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Anti-Glare 300-nits Display with Alienware Head-KBL  Rm5000

Dell discontinuing the 13 already, not future proof, though I prefer 15 inch. Reading the alienware thread seems like got a lot of thermal issues on 15. Patiently waiting for m15.

Can 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.

The raven is soooooooooooooooooooooooo ugly, I won't feel happy buying it.
The other 2 I haven't seen yet, maybe walk around digital mall and see if got. I think in the end I'm looking for a great value buy, with some shoppee code or something, waiting for the right time to pull the trigger

Hi there, looking for a new gaming laptop since my desktop died already,

1. Budget RM4000~ RM5000 (can stretch to 6k if I have to)

2. Usage: Mainly gaming (games like Warframe, The Division, Monster Hunter, Starcraft II and future game like The Division 2 and Anthem)

3. Requirements: prefer to have 17 inch laptop, batt life hope can last up to 3~6 hours and weight doesn't really matter, also good customer service if (touchwood) my laptop got issue or faulty.

Currently I'm looking at a few MSI laptop and Illegear Z7 but would appriciate more choices

Illegear raven? Only difficult part about your request is the battery life.
Personally I'll be going for the Lenovo Y530 with student discount, 4.5k got gtx 1060, 144hz screen, now got 2 year on site warranty rather than 1. If you can maybe wait for alienware M15 or razer blade 15 base model, need to see their pricing

Currently working already so student price don't apply to me d most likely..

For the few model that you mentioned, do they have 17inch screen? Personally the screen size quite matters to me :B

Off the top of my head, Acer predator helios got 17inch screen but not sure if sold here and screen quality lousy, most 17inch out of that budget, normally 10k plus.

Just did a quick Google : https://www.lazada.com.my/products/dell-ali...5&utm_campaign=[SSC-000000000000-00000-00000-0]:%20Smart%20Shopping%20Campaign&utm_term=[SSC-000000000000-00000-00000-0]:%20Smart%20Shopping%20Campaign_xxmo0000000at0000_m_pla-296303633664&adjust_tracker=t2v78t_5n20iw&adjust_campaign=1032211143&adjust_adgroup=54400014687_m_pla-296303633664&adjust_creative=296303633664_441889647_118087295&tracker_limit=1000000&ef_id=WmVsMgAAAGHvYhOf:20181015080159:s just go for this

Shit I just poisoned myself, I think buying this instead

I see, not much choices if i go for 17inch screen, currently managed to shortlist Illegear only, but I heard it's a local brand right? Any thoughts on the company?

Used Acer before, screen is really bad and broke d send warranty few months T.T... rather not go through that again :/

Just buy that alienware and don't look back liao, rm5.4k only with their store discount, I just ordered one. myway1985 good deal or not?

Illegear is selling clevo model, just rebrand here as illegear, clevo is like custom laptop makers, to me their price a little premium and I don't like their design, their staff are active here though.

Just being plain curious,

You guys think if it's worth to import razer blade 15 to use? Or there's other better laptops out there?

Was thinking of the 1060 144hz ver

Their quality control very bad actually, rosak very fast, if you go reddit razer its all complaints, that's why I'm scared a little also, here no flagship store
