Hi all the sifus over here, I'm looking for new laptop.

Budget below 9k, looking for something with best bang for buck.

Purpose: Productivity/Portability + Gaming on AAA titles

Look: Prefer a subtle outlook, would prefer to stay away from the gaming look

Below are the requirements
- Battery Life above 5 hours is preferable
- Weight hovering around 2kg
- Warranty has to be international mainly countries of MY & AUS
- Thunderbolt 3 with EGPU support
- Minimum RTX 2060
- 16gb RAM
- Minimum 512GB SSD
- Screen 144hz 1080p resolution

I'm wondering if probably should wait till the end of the year to see more models being released since I am not really in a hurry.

Thanks

Can accept ~4 hrs battery and ~2.2kg? Is TB3 a must?

4 Hours - Maybe possible but prefer something upwards to 5 hours
2.2 KG - it's acceptable
TB3 - It's a must, if there is no TB3 I don't think i'll consider it

Probably the best option:
Lenovo Legion Y740 15- ~4 hrs battery life with GSYNC off

Over budget:
AW m15 - 144Hz IPS+90Wh battery and RAM+SSD upgrades, heatsink and airflow issues, a bit gaming look
*
How about the Acer Predator Triton 500 or Gigabyte Aero?

Any ideas about it. I think it's still new in the market?

Also, the Legion can achieve 4 hours? the battery is less than 60 watts.

Oh yeah forgot about Triton 500. Can get 5-6 hrs battery life with GSYNC disabled. CPU cooling isn't that great though, but overall it's better than MSI GS65 IMO

Tech Armory haven't bring in RTX Aero 15 (they are the only one who sells)

Y740 15 can achieve around 4 hrs, therefore can be less. Larger Wh isn't always equal to longer battery life FYI

I see, i guess it depends on how they use the battery. Probably keep my eye on the Triton 500, i was really into the Y740 but the battery life was abysmal on some reviews. Not to mention the HUGE power brick to go along.

Probably wait out maybe till the end of the year to see other models incoming.
