means either fan control not refined or fans really need to spin hard in order to cool decently

yes, due to poor cooling

Alright thanks! I see you have been preaching to people to wait for 1-2 months before purchasing - why is that? Should I wait out a little longer? For which model, based on my budget of RM4k?

new models are coming soon, old models are becoming unavailable / expensive

if you can wait, wait; if can't, let me know

really disappointed with Level51 Forge 15
bought it on 19 Jan before CNY
the default SSD go kaput 2 weeks after mco started in March
need warranty repair after buying in less than 3 months

damn regretting my decision of choosing Level51 laptop bangwall.gif

my advice to all buyers, be REALLY careful with your choice of laptop, else you will really regret it later bangwall.gif

Your issue had significantly made me want to remove the Level51's laptop from my bucket list... So they can offer cheaper price for some reason... how much you pay at that time?

Heard of the Phison OEM SSD issue. But now they are now using WD Black which is an excellent high end SSD (and less issue). And it's SSD related issue not the laptop itself

Avoid Razer laptops at all cost - no official support (RMA will be a pain), poor QC, unreliable etc

Bro does MSI laptop recommended? Particularly the model below.

MSI THIN GF63 9SC-891 : i5-9300H + GTX 1650 MaxQ + 4GB Ram +256GB SSD + 60hz IPS = RM2999 (Lazada can get as low as RM2899)
MSI THIN GF65 9SD-009 : i5-9300H + GTX 1660ti + 8GB Ram +512GB SSD + 120hz IPS = RM3999

Only downside is low SRGB. But i think most budget laptop does.

The GF65 seem good value with GTX1660ti, while the GF63 is good value for laptop under RM3,000.

What your opinion about this?
