Going by the recommendation list , it seems that Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43-R9B3 is an alright choice for my limited budget of RM2600.
How good is it in comparison to other budget gaming laptop at a similar price range like said HP Pavilion 15-EC0058AX? |

QUOTE(WCKennedy @ May 9 2020, 03:35 PM) While I'm interested in the Lenovo Legion Y540, and I understand it's difficult to predict, do you think now is a good time to purchase laptops because of the current circumstances? Would prices go up or down? I would suggest waiting for new stuffsWould it be more worthwhile to wait 1-2 months, and what for actually? |

Actually aldy got reviews for Clevo NH5xAC/AD/AF (Notebookcheck, China review websites...). TL;DR: Decent cooling (similar thermals compared to N95xRC/RD), can handle 60-65W CPU and 115W GPU under CPU+GPU stress (GPU no thermal thottling), very loud fansThis post has been edited by ZM Fong: May 11 2020, 02:53 PM |

Avoid Razer laptops at all cost - no official support (RMA will be a pain), poor QC, unreliable etc In the meantime, what the views you guys have on razer blade laptops? The razer blade 15 looks pretty good.. |
