QUOTE(shuo0909 @ Feb 22 2020, 03:00 PM) what i mean is i can buy consumer model for business environment? No such restrictions.... the main reason for business class laptops is for the ease of repair/upgrade (by the IT departments of businesses) + durability... specific example: Lenovo's Thinkpads/Thinkbooks.....because i heard that must use commercial unit for business..

QUOTE(cannasu_w @ Feb 8 2020, 05:35 PM) At the moment the games using emulator, not the graphic/resource hungry ones. Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (14), with UHD, ice-lake CPU w MX330/350 option... RM4.6k to 4.9k...Prefer lighter ones, but the screen size minimum is 13.3 inch, max is 14 inch. Can be FHD or UHD. Thanks. This post has been edited by BeastX: Mar 6 2020, 05:55 PM |

Please advise and suggest other brand if I missed out any good models out there. |

QUOTE(mizkentz @ Mar 7 2020, 04:06 PM) I don’t mind picking the yoga. But also to add on: Actually the Yoga slim 7 (14).... does not do the 360 Yoga.. and does not touch/pen support....limited to 8gb (lenovo my) RAM thoughI don’t need a touch scree that the yoga is offering, The thinkpad keyboard is really an advantage.

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Mar 7 2020, 05:20 PM) FYI i5 ULV and i7 ULV don't have much performance difference However i7 10710U big difference... 2 additional cores...Keep in mind that UHD/4k display will have shorter battery life and windows scaling issue in general. You still prefer 4k display? low sRGB = colours less vibrant. I guess you need high sRGB? |

QUOTE(mizkentz @ Mar 7 2020, 05:46 PM) Was thinking the same too. And I plan to keep the laptop for a few years so i7 might help before I need to get a new replacement. it's the long in tooth 14nm..... wait for a month or 2 for the 8 core 4000 series @7nm |

QUOTE(mizkentz @ Mar 7 2020, 06:59 PM) Will that 8core be an issue given my budget below 6k? I don’t need an over kill processor. Should not be too much of a price premium....should be similar to the 3000 variants now...This post has been edited by BeastX: Mar 7 2020, 08:18 PM |

QUOTE(mizkentz @ Mar 8 2020, 11:09 AM) Any idea for the units that the Lenovo website states “ship in 5 days” takes to arrive in kl? I check with the online customer care they told me can receive in 7-8 working Days while ppl from Lenovo digital mall said usually 7-8 weeks. Given that many factories in China are off-line... it'll be difficult to give a time even by Lenovo themselves... especially with customised parts (build to as the order comes in..)... |

QUOTE(jack2 @ Jun 23 2020, 11:47 AM) The price shown is not correct. The added price for the bag is RM85. The lowest end "comet-lake i5" 10210U is used in budget ultra-portable laptops at less than half the price (around 2k)... The CPU performance-wise is Nothing special (& I'm typing this on a 10210u laptop).Ooo... I thought is cheap after the discount. Encoding/decoding videos could be better server even with the iGPU on the ice-lake 1065G7.... Then again Intel will be launching the 11th gen Tiger Lake G7....that looks to have even better iGPU than 4000series Renoir... |

QUOTE(jack2 @ Jun 23 2020, 09:34 PM) then I should wait lo? Intel's announcement will be next month.... however apple also just announce their own ARM based processor that's purported (demoed) a beast in encoding/decoding three 4k streams at the same time...... Buy what you need at the time (the benefit of tech foresight only gives you 6 mths to a 1 year buffer)... there's always better things down the pipeline... never ending waiting game... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by BeastX: Jun 24 2020, 09:17 AM |
