1. Budget : RM3k - 3.5k
2. Usage : Mostly Office Work, minor design software, light gaming (least priority)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Something Fast & Multitask Friendly. (Wont lag when opening a lot of tab of program) Able to run minor editing software like AI & Photoshop. If possible, to play some light game like pubg, dota2, csgo.

Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

Side note: PUBG is definitely not a light game since it isn't well optimized

Hi Sifu,

No specific battery life preference, but weight preferably not too heavy, somewhere below 2kg is that possible?

One question: Do you need high sRGB panel? Or a low sRGB IPS panel is fine? Asking this because I see you do Photoshop
*
Low sRGB or IPS is fine. Because not so design detailed. Just some minor editing or creation. Thankss

1. Budget : MYR3k - 3.5k max
2. Usage : Minor Video/Photo Editing, Gaming (Dota 2 / PUBG - not necessary high end settings) & Surfing.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Preferably i7, with 12GB RAM, 128/256SSD with 1TB HDD. No battery life / weight preference.

Previously bought a Hp Pav 15 Pavilion with (MX150 2GB). But this time friend is looking at Dell G3 (1050 4GB) at the moment but both models come with i5 only. wondering is there any i7 models for it within the price range? Reason being choosing an i7 because he was told that higher processor can render his video faster.

Might want to increase budget if he wants a good 8750H laptop with good sRGB display

He doesn't need a good sRGB laptop.. as long as the model is i7 and fit the requirement will do. Any recommendations?

Found this Level 51 - Forge 15 laptop, spec quite not bad
https://www.level51pc.co/welcome/ProductconfigRec/forge-15

Intel® Core™ i7-9750H Processor
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 3GB
8GB (8GB x 1) DDR4 2666MHZ
256GB M.2 NVME ULTRA FAST SSD
1TB Toshiba HDD
Windows 10 64 Bit

Total - MYR3723

But they didn't have 100% sRGB options, their screen is only at 72% sRGB. My questions is that, does 72% sRGB sufficient for minor design or video editing? Or it is preferably to have 100% sRGB for student / future working purpose as a designer?
