I kinda changed my mind after being in the gaming laptop list forum few weeks. I don't really think the extra money spent for gaming is worth it. That's why I'm now looking for a business laptop instead. The only game that I truly play is only dota 2. So I'm eyeing on the lenovo slim 5i with MX540. But just am wondering when is the best time to buy it? I can wait a couple months more.

OK I mean affordable work laptop that can do basic work tasks, as long as not heavy and not too big (14") and costs around 3k.

What other business laptop do you recommend that's within my price range? The MX450 is really the minimum as I still want to play some Dota 2 and GTA 5 maybe..

Should I wait for Raya promotion?

Stay away from HP Envy range. Battery prone to bloat after 18 months.
