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.

premium price with premium support.. dont mind.. design.., if its for the benifits of the notebook.. comfortable usage.. thats fine... for me their design is not that bad..

All 3 laptop using i5,MX150...(i only play DOTA 2)

Question:
1) How much ram do i really?....i know 4GB is out of question...8 might be okay for now but im probably gonna use the laptop for 5-6 years...( im still using my current laptop from 2012,8GB RAM)...,16 GB seems too much...I like to open many tab using browser and just left it there even while gaming.
2) 128 or 256 SSD? Seems all these laptop come with 1TB hard drive plus i also have 2TB external drive...If possible i want OS,DOTA2, and a few engineering software on SSD...
3) Between the hp and asus..,which has overall better quality and thermal?

PS:I dont do any photo/video editing work...,I dont mind about battery life and weight either...,Budget 3.5k max...Sorry for the long post...,Really need your opinion...Thanks in advance...
*
1) min requirement for win10 is 4gb. but it is much better if you have ssd, then 4gb ram will be jz enough. For best experience, better get 8gb ram. 16gb is pretty standard and allow more application running on background. and a slightly improvement performance in game (having 8gb and 16gb does make a small different) - still it does make a different even it just a little.

2) get at least 256ssd. I make it like this... System (OS) on ssd - steam on SSD.. but other things is on hdd. i dont have much games so, 256gb steam install on ssd is fine enough. if you have a lot, then let OS only on SSD, and steam will be install on hdd.

3) hp has better thermal design if you are talking bout gaming range. quality, depends with product range. i think quite fair for these 2 brand.

HP also have some gaming/performance models with bad cooling, like Pavilion Gaming

Every brand has good and bad models, so cannot just compare brand. However Asus has horrible after sales service from what I heard

just in case anyone want to go... hopefully can find good deal...
my suggestions... want to know if its cheap?
-compare price before the expo.... like other places or online price...
-do check if there is bundle with warranty extension? (sometimes there are, sometimes it depends)
-any freebies(some are useless, try if can exchange) see if your purchase worth or not
-software bundle may some are useful, but do not get cheated... some are just trial. 30 days mostly... such as anti virus / Microsoft programs..

Helios 300, cooling issue (possibly can be solved via undervolt+repaste but not sure)

Helios 500 also, but that one is still buyable

then im correct.. 500 at least better than 300..

QUOTE(prasys @ Apr 1 2019, 01:57 PM)
Cough up more for NVME PCIe
Build quality , but to be honest - if it's cheap just grab it and go for it. It's like buying a car , people may complain tons but if you like it - go for it....personally i find the helios 300 affordable for people looking at entry level gaming laptop.

nod.gif true... helios 300 is good enough.. apart from uncomfortable heat (maybe due to cooling) other is fine
