Sifu a frind of mine want to buy new 2 in 1 laptop that is light. He cares about portability and prefer a laptop that can support stylus.

Max weight: 2kg
Budget: 5k

Initially he wanted to buy Microsoft Surface Pro 7 but i remembered that u said to avoid any Surface products. So any suggestions? Thanks a lot

Not all, like lenovo legion 5/5i if use 20%discount code + 5%shopback , it's almost the same price as in china. Hp and dell maybe also as they have shopback too.
I'm not gonna spend more money but get a lousy laptop.

RM5k and 2kg will have many options, do you want me to suggest the ones around RM3k-4k or max 5k?

Do you think is worth to pick Thinkpad P14s with current discount 20% or better to wait Ryzen 4000?

or there are better options than P14s with highest performance with lightest unit? notworthy.gif

Higher quality is generally true for business laptops

Dell Latitude 5300 2 in 1 DFO
Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga

Yes, one of the better budget options right now besides Ideapad 5. However I think they are out of stock

If not urgent I would definitely wait for Ryzen 4000 Thinkpad

There are light yet high performance options, but not business grade

Any idea when the AMD versions of the ideapad 5 or Ideapad slim 5 will come to the Malaysia? Also acer malaysia states that the screen is 300 nits and 72% NTSC, so its a better panel than the potato ones in the western markets right?

No idea. Flex 5 aldy available though. FYI Ideapad 5 = Ideapad Slim 5

Swift 3 SF314-42 has low sRGB. SF314-57/57G uses high sRGB

P14s has dGPU so can use dGPU acceleration (since T490 no longer offering MX250 option)

P14s is fine, TBH if you want something powerful enough, any 4c8t ULV is 'enough', it just that the CPU performance will be different in every model due to differences in cooling and BIOS/firmware

Able to wait further? If can't, consider business laptops like Thinkpad T/X series, Latitude 5000/7000 series

My current laptop suddenly broke down last week. In the end i bought the lenovo yoga s730 i7 10510u, 16gb ram n 512gb ssd. Hopefully it can last. Anyway thank you so much.
