QUOTE(prasys @ Mar 11 2019, 01:29 PM) Here's my deal with it while I was at the shopWe ran multiple benchmark on the laptop which was pretty OK given they are just benchmark i.e. 3D Mark etc The problem really began when we ran the FFXV benchmarks both normal and ultra settings. We start seeing micro-stuttering both minor and major effects especially when encountering fights and scenes that requires heavy rendering like summoning shiva. Fraps was also turned on, I would see frequent dips in FPS while testing the FFXV benchmark. Then after the dip, the FPS would stabilize again. I'm probably gonna test out games like Witcher 3 and others later once I get it For now my first impressions: Laptop is light for my taste Microstuttering Heat Cheapest RTX laptop in the market for now... |

QUOTE(prasys @ Mar 11 2019, 11:23 AM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvWI8J5ijdo hey prasys, most of that information is true besides the part about the keyboard..its not mechanical. its chiclet style keyboard. only raven, onyx/lite and selenite have mech keyboards.Also these guys are here , official support (look in the specific notebook discussion sub-thread) , got a lot of people to purchase. These guys are basically get barebone laptop manufacturers and then assemble it. So since you are going all gaming , why not ? If you can afford pimp it to 16GB of RAM , to be honest , that laptop is on the higher end of gaming series , mech keyboard , good thermal paste , 144Hz display that being said, its nothing against the laguna, the keyboard is still a good keyboard. only bad thing i would say is the trackpad, its not great but workable. definitely recommend to use your own mouse with it.

For cheap/budget priced gmaing laptop you wouldn't get the best keyboard or the best trackpad. Generally Thinkpad have legendary keyboard......that being said, its nothing against the laguna, the keyboard is still a good keyboard. only bad thing i would say is the trackpad, its not great but workable. definitely recommend to use your own mouse with it. But for gaming laptops , generally the trackpad suck , after all gamers would use mouse..who plays games with their trackpad |

Agree with the trackpad part but not the keyboard part. Some budget gaming laptops do have decent keyboards (Don't compare with Thinkpad of course. Moreover Thinkpad also got OKish keyboard - forgot which kb vendor and which model)But for gaming laptops , generally the trackpad suck , after all gamers would use mouse..who plays games with their trackpad |

My conclusion is well budget gaming laptop with good specs would have something else as their shortcoming |

QUOTE(zoixc @ Mar 11 2019, 10:54 AM) this is exactly like what i told you.QUOTE(xcves @ Mar 9 2019, 09:23 AM) anyway, right now laguna 1070 can be gotten for RM5487 for 144hz + i7 + 1070 + 8gb ram + 240gb ssd + 1tb shdd. + free screen calibration and repaste with TG kryonaut.. QUOTE(zoixc @ Mar 11 2019, 11:49 AM) I have ask around for they review on the brand and sustainability save yourself the 300 ringgit and get windows 10 trial (free) instead, and go buy a key elsewhere online for 20~30 bucks or even lower i think.. idk.Still going for the 8gb first, upgrade next few months don't have so much budget haha total 5.4k like i mentioned earlier.. 8gb ram enough. if not enough upgrade yourself in future. cheaper. and review of the brand is quite good. their cs team helps a lot if you have issues with your laptop. can check out their lyn tered This post has been edited by xcves: Mar 11 2019, 10:55 PM |

QUOTE(prasys @ Mar 11 2019, 09:24 PM) Budget gaming laptops - you'll get something good and something bad....thats much like any other pros and cons an entry gaming laptop with decent keyboard is the y530.It's unfair to compare with Thinkpad level keyboard vs mech keyboard. however there are other good mech keyboards that it can be compared with also. My conclusion is well budget gaming laptop with good specs would have something else as their shortcoming but then when sold in malaysia the price is no longer budget friendly level.. too bad our currency is shit and lenovo keeps increasing the price. previously you could get i5+ 1050ti + 8gb + 128 ssd + 1tb hd + 144hz panel for 3.8k with 15% student discount (circa oct/nov last year) then slowly slowly increase to now the price is 4.2k for above specs. but it stabilised at 4.2k with 15% student discount for few months already. either lenovo increased the price due to currency or because they know y530 got a good rep + pay for branding.. previously was an easy choice to recommend to people over other alternatives like illegear raven or commandos glock 5. because almost same price range 3.5k to 3.7k for the two as well. but now its hard to recommend the 1050ti and below models, frankly speaking overpriced. meanwhile the 1060 model was good value vs other brand 1060 models like raven 1060, onyx lite 1060, omen 15, etc etc. but guess what. now they removed it from their online stores too. i was lucky i managed to snap mine up just 1 week before it got removed from the website..

QUOTE(xcves @ Mar 12 2019, 01:12 AM) Yep i saw your post on lenovo forums. Problem is, there's no reason I can give to request a new keyboard since this replacement keyboard is fine (no faulty keys)...just the typing feel is bad compared to the previous one (which is excellent). Even worse than a Ideapad 320s 14 (Yes, I did compare with it. That keyboard in Ideapad 320s 14 is fantastic).Seems your replacement keyboard was worse. And your original keyboard was alright just that the caps lock key was spoilt? Have u tried claiming another time? The original keyboard is fine, only the caps lock key is faulty (QC issue, actually still can press but one keycap leg is out of position). Last time I have faulty keyboard out of the box with my Y520 too. I don't want to blame Lenovo since I know any gaming laptop from any brand may have QC issue. Guess I'm just unlucky |
