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.

fyi ideapad is not business laptop

better buy early since delivery takes long time (customize)

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?

i see

most business laptops don't have dGPU, even they have most of them have subpar cooling

if you plan to buy in lenovo website, no need to wait for promotion

Between the S540, Slim 5i and Thinkbook G2, w/ MX450, which one is the best? Their price almost the same after BIRTHDAY code

your preferred display size?

compare weight, ports etc

S540 and Slim 5i (metal) have slightly better build
