Hi ZM Fong

Since you've already shortlisted some laptops with high sRGB I wanted to ask have you encounter any Windows laptops with equivalent or higher AdobeRGB gamut (not sRGB) than Macbook Pros??

This is quite hard to find - not many panel has near 100%ARGB, even 4k/UHD ones.

if you're fine with gaming laptop, 7i has near 100%ARGB 144Hz 500nits panel. Or laptops with the 4K Samsung OLED panel

Owners of Dell Inspiron 5405/Acer Switft 3/Ionic 15 Ryzen/Helium5R, any further reviews/feedback/comparison after using for a few weeks?

Hi,

Is Huawei Mate 15D R7 512GB 8GB good enough for Microsoft office and AutoCAD work?

Is the price RM2899 worth it?

not worth, can get Ryzen 4000 options

Again, last gen (3rd) processor.

AMD had strike the lottery with their 4th gen Ryzen mobile. It's performance and efficiency gain is so much so that it obsolete all the last gen's offering (and of course Intel too). More efficiency node size (7nm vs 12nm), more powerful CPU single thread performance (on par with Intel) & GPU (the Ryzen 4000 Vega 8 is even better than the old Vega10 found on Ryzen 3700u). Also, the system and VRAM speed had a huge leap from last year's 2400mHz.

For example, 3500u is worse than the newer 4300u. 3700u is worse than 4500u etc.

There's simply no reason to look at these 3rd gen Ryzen, unless they're dirt cheap and go below RM2k.

Thank you sifu for your recommendation.

I will have a look at these models

Actually the XPS range already has that

Even the 17.3 4K UHD panel (the AUO B173ZAN) already has a ~90% aRGB coverage

There's even a TN panel that does ~80% aRGB as well:

Hi, I just got to know commandos Helium 4R through ZM Fong's recommendation. Never heard about this brand, though I've seen the snake like logo somewhere b4.

Does anyone have any comments on this brand ? Wondering if it's safe to buy this brand... sorry, i'm kinda clueless.

Thanks so much in advance.

I'm trying to decide - swift 3 , ideapad 515 and this. My friend asked me to consider huawei d15. Kinda hesitating cos huawei doesn't specifically produce notebooks, so ...i'm not too sure if I should get a huawei.

Illegear ionic is a tad too expensive, after adding on windows.

Any thoughts ?

Been using an Asus A409F in work recently. Quite a decent laptop however availability seems to non existent.

i am a student using for normal productivity daily, occasionally need do slide and some video editing skill. Not a gamer, but watch movie sometimes, looking for laptop that last 4-5 years in term of technology
i am looking for under 3k budget laptop.

Between, Acer Swift 3, Lenovo Thinkpad E 14 Gen 2, Helium 4 R, Ionic 15 Ryzen, which one is better?

which brand quality i should look forward to? thanks

If you can increase budget slightly: Thinkpad X13 or T14 AMD

If not, I would lean more towards to Thinkpad L14 / L15 AMD

Whats the difference between E and L series? i saw some of the previous post quoted E series.

L series is entry level business laptop while E series is more towards regular consumer grade

Oh noted. Thanks a lot sifu. Both Spec looks the same to me.

but seems L series come with longer warranty suppport

both can upgrade warranty

Ok sure ! noted. The storage can be upgraded? Ryzen 4500u range only comes with 256 gb.
