Guys, is now the right time to get Legion 5 or should wait for newer gen Ryzen proc to become available? I believe it’s not far away?

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 18 2021, 09:37 AM) do you need a laptop now? As mentioned before it's not urgent yet, still can wait 2-3 months.can save rm50+ by opting for regular onsite (premium care is a joke) However, after doing more reading, like you said the new gen Ryzen chips mostly won't be this cheap. If that's the case, then probably can't get a laptop of this spec at this price range anymore? For this similar specs with newer gen CPU/GPU maybe it'll be closer to RM6k? |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 18 2021, 12:13 PM) yeah, and the performance increase isn't the same as seen in Ryzen 5000 desktop due to L3 cache issue So do you think the wiser option is wait and see if not urgent?the main thing is newer GPU still can get for around RM5k-6k bcoz it offers nothing extra (the advertised stuffs are jokes) |
