You can get the T14 at RM 4k, with the following spec, which is a great bargain.





Or this one, at RM 3.3k.

My fren got the X13 at 3.2k recently at 11.11 sale, full spec configured to the max!

T14 or X13, AMD series, use coupon can get less than 4k. Both are lightweight, robust and fast. Pick the LCD sRGB 100% or NTSC 72%, avoid the standard NTSC 45%.

No doubt. If you are lucky, you can get it in less than 4 weeks. Otherwise, good stuff have to wait.

If you need even lighter, can consider Helium 4R. 1.1kg only! But LCD sRGB is unknown.

T14, check my other post. Or Legion 5 15 AMD, for real gaming.

Similar model, but better value. 16GB and 1 TB SSD configuration, larger LCD, larger battery.




Or this model, 500 nits screen.

Checkout users review at reddit. Some complain about fan issue/noise on the slim model.

There is. You can configure the Yoga 7 to have 16 GB ram.

There is mic. It's separate module. Hence it says, array microphone instead of web + mic.

Can consider Yoga Slim series/Pro, those with large battery and still lightweight enough to carry around.

That's pretty good price. May I know the voucher code? Am shopping for my office colleague.

You probably want to consider IdeaPad Slim 5 Pro (14", Gen 6). Better processor, larger battery, better and brighter screen, weight lighter.

RM 3.9k, without promo code.

Or, if pricing is a factor, then Honor Magicbook AMD 15" 5500U 8/512, RM 2.9k.

I'd avoid ThinkPad L and E series, these are the budget series. Go for T series and above.

16GB is the basic, recommended 32GB. Depends on what engineering software you intend to use.

I got mine for about 3.4k, 32GB/1TB SSD, AMD 4500U, laptop. DIY upgrade from base spec 2.4k.

Am thinking to sell it off, and get another laptop since I need the CPU/GPU power for heavy data processing volume.

HP laptop keyboard is either you like or hate it. Their keyboard should be of darker colour tone, so that the letterings are easier to read. The typing feel is filmsy feel. So far, had 2 experiences with HP laptop keyboard (2 different HP laptops) that the key caps pops-out. Doesn't seem lasting. The battery is another issue, kinda drop off in hold charging after 6 months compared to other laptops that I had used before.

Becareful of new CPU architecture. You may run into unexpected software compatibility issues, even setting up hardware (like printer, etc.). My friends who bought 2 units now regretting it kaw kaw. Sure, it's shiny, sleek...but if you are into work related stuff, better stick to something proven (Intel/AMD). But if willing to venture into the "new" stuff, go ahead and enjoy. Good luck!
