Hello sifu ZM Fong, your thread is really useful. I have a few question.
I am a uni student, no video editing , 3d or autocad, just normal user, don't care about graphic cards. I am looking for laptop with good battery life and last long (5 years) and for low spec gaming ( like Dota 2 ) not serious gamer.

After some thought, I currently hovering between 2 choice:
HONOR MAGICBOOK PRO 16G. OR
THINKPAD L15 GEN 2
PART NUMBER: 20X7CTO1WW
Below are the specs :
Processor : AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 5650U Processor (6 Cores / 12 Threads, 2.30 GHz, up to 4.20 GHz with Max Boost, 3 MB Cache L2 / 16 MB Cache L3) (UPGRADE CPU CHIP)
Memory : 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR4 3200MHz
Solid State Drive : 256 GB M.2 2242 SSD
Display : 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS Anti-Glare 250nits Non-Touch ( UPGRADE IPS SCREEN )
Graphic Card : Integrated Graphics
Battery : 3 Cell, 45Wh
Display Panel : 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Anti-Glare 250nits Non-Touch, 720P HD Camera with Mic, No WWAN
Warranty : 1 Year Courier or Carry-in

So what's the better choice here?
If Honor magicbook pro 16g : Should I get Honor magicbook 14, 15 or pro. , How is the battery life ( at least 5 hour normal usage ) , does it last long? ( At least 5 years )

If Lenovo ThinkPad amd L15: How is the battery life? Do it last long? Can I use shopback to purchase for rebates? Where can I buy battery replacement (very important) ? Should I buy warranty? I heard at least buy onsite warranty. Should I buy now? Or is there special discount. But I need it in January. And do I need to custom anything else , I upgraded the CPU chip and IPS screen. Any useful thing I need to add on?

If there is a better recommendation, is there any laptop in this price range? Budget around RM3000~3200

Appreciate any help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. So
Which laptop do you recommend for around RM 3k? Is ThinkPad L15 a good choice? Or do you have any other recommendations. I need good battery life, display and weight not important. Only using for school tasks and light gaming.

Thanks again

Ok, so if I don't take in that into factor, may I know which laptop do you recommend around that price range? Thanks.
