Hi Im looking for a laptop below 3.5k (if possible) for my friend screen size 13 or 14' RAM 8 or higher? SSD if possible 512gb weight below 2kg I noticed IONIC 15 Ryzen but dont know whether its good because other brand acer/hp/dell gives lesser but price almost the same Dont know if possible but if the laptop is able to play very casual game like Fallguys etc ofc its better

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 21 2020, 10:37 AM) if you plan to play fallguys on non gaming laptop, wait for MX450 or Tiger Lake to arrive Around when will it arrive? Its not an essential for my friend so i guess its ok to not have it. What would you suggest if so? Thanks

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Nov 30 2020, 04:37 PM) Inspiron 3000 is mediocre - build quality, battery etc 5000 series is decent (newer releases, not older ones) open to other options? how long can wait? Thank you for replying!! I'm currently using the 5000 series one (i3, 4gb ram, 1TB HHD). It's been 4 years and it's starting to get really laggy plus it gets really hot when I was playing games. Oh, to add on, I don't really save a lot of documents on my laptop, normally just games and softwares like SPSS software (400gb used). What other option will you recommend? I've checked lenovo thinkpad x13, really like how compact and lightweight it is but i personally really do not like the keyboard  Will probably only buy end of this year mayb during the year end sale or christmas sale if they have one  If not, can wait until end of January 2021. Once again, thank you!!

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Nov 30 2020, 09:15 PM) add RAM and SSD probably will solve the problem mainly weight and battery life Thinking of getting a new one instead. If i were to get a laptop with 8gb ram, 512gb storage ssd and i5 / ryzen 5 with the budget of 2.8k, any recommendation? Is it possible?

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Dec 2 2020, 12:55 PM) it is within your budget Swift 3 out of stock everywhere The L14 one only have ryzen 5 + 8gb ram + 256gb ssd (2.7k) or ryzen 7 + 8gb ram + 512gb ssd (3.4k) whereas for the L15 one they are 2.7-2.8k for ryzen 5 + 8gb ram + 256gb ssd, if 512gb ssd it will be 3.6k I think I'd prefer 512gb ssd within the 2.8k budget, is it possible? Also, what's the ecoupon?

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Dec 2 2020, 01:29 PM) they are discount codes: try these and see which give best discount: BIGSALE, GIVINGUP, IPRICE, SHOPBACKAMD, LENXCIMB Thank you, I have tried, L14 is cheaper than L15 with the price of 3k. Saw that you recommended X13 to some people, and I checked the price it's only 2.8k. Can I know the difference between L14 and X13 Gen 1? (Both with AMD 5, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd)

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Dec 3 2020, 08:21 PM) X is 1 higher tier than L - better build material X13 has smaller+lighter body and high sRGB display but RAM is not upgradeable I'm ok with a non upgradeable ram. So, in this case will u recommend me to get X13 (RM2850) instead of L14 (RM3093)? Which one worth the price better in your opinion?
