Not really have any preference for weight and battery life as long as can handle for my 3 years college design life im fine with it. maybe need a bit better cooling performance due to may render design

since you'll be using Adobe programs I would suggest using Intel CPU

unfortunately there's no decent i7+1660Ti model under RM4.5k for now

Alright, thanks for the information bro. much appreciated

alright no problem, thank you so much

Understood your frustration bro... go for another brand next time.

Thanks bro. Do you know if the Legion 5 can do 180 degree flip?

My current office Laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad X280. I think i got used to the flexibility of the 180 degree flip. Appreciate if my personal laptop able to do the same.

Thanks.

You're most welcome
can open to 180 degress (not flip)

Oh ya. Open. That is the correct term. Haha. Thanks bro.

Hi, I'm in the market for new laptop for 3D rendering.
I did my homework and I found these are my options.

Zephyrus g14 Ryzen 4900 8c/16t 2060mq
Onyx G 10th gen 8c/16t 2070mp
Onyx Pro 10th gen 8c/16t 2070mp
Selenite Pro 10th gen 8c/16t 2070mp
Y740 9th gen 6c/12t 2070(?)
Legion 7i 10th gen 6c/12t 2070mq

All of these within 6k-8k
Except for g14 and 7i, price unknown.

I'm leaning towards 7i, but then its hard to justify the price from lenovo canada and bhphoto on it being 6c/12t and 2070mq. North RM8k. I do have student discount. What is your take?

My budget capped at RM8k. Pls help advice.
Thanks!

choose a proper workstation with Quadro for 3D rendering work instead of gaming gpu

What programs will you be using? Preferred max weight and min battery life?

I'd love to, but I don't do cad. I do 3d with cpu renderer, and looking for possible gpu renderer. I've looked into thinkpad P1 quadro t1000 and find it hard to justify the price since the quadro card is based on gtx with different drivers with a price above my budget.

Gpu renderer is the way forward IMO. UE5 Demo showed us the path.

Adobe suite, 3dmax, C4d with redshift
Weight below 2.5kg (with the power brick), max battery life if possible

Do you think I'm better off with egpu setup? Any suggestion for that too?

eGPU doesn't justify the cost and hassle IMO

If you want weight below 2.5kg with power brick, there aren't many options left - maybe can consider Illegear Onyx Pro, however battery is only 63Wh. G14 has reduced performance due to its size (35W HS CPU, 65W MQ GPU), which isn't ideal either

My friend informed me that Acer just released new Triton 300 configuration with RTX 2060, 6GB. SRP at RM4499. Lazada can get as low at RM4199 from reputable seller as NBP Store.

Wow! Cheapest RTX 2060 laptop so far.

dear ZM Fong / sifus,

i know theres alot debate in the forum on Illegear vs Level51,
Im on a budget preferably (3.5k-ish).
Been reading and checking out reviews on the Raven SE & FORGE15S.
I'm asking now as they have a promo on the 10th gen I5, was wondering if its better then any AMD chips around the same price point.
Both are quite competitive at the same price point.

any other differences that i need to take note of? Like the cooling / sales service / hardwares?

G14 usb c charging is a plus, that goes to 7i as well if im not mistaken.
Since there wont be any intense work done on the move.

I guess onyx g and onyx pro is the way to go.

Really g14, 7i, and onyx v ryzen price and availability are holding me back from pulling the trigger smh

I saw that, but 4c8t i5-9300H is looking outdated nowadays, also need to consider 16GB RAM upgrade (default only 4GB, need to sell it away). Triton 300 using Nitro 5 2019 cooling which isn't good either
I haven't got info on Forge 15s so can't comment on it

Do you have any preferences on weight and battery life? Usage? What games do you play?
Legion 7i doesn't have USB C / PD charging

Weight and battery life doesnt really matter, usually plug it in when gaming. Into games like Assasins Creed, Tomb Raider kind. Some old games like CSGO/L4d2

Ah too bad.

Imo depends on usage. I'd like to be able to code and troubleshoot projects on the go. Which makes choosing the right one so hard.

Consider Legion 5 (AMD) customize, use code LENXCIMB. R5-4600H, GTX1650, 16GB RAM

For CSGO you can get higher FPS by disabling Hybrid Mode (MUX feature in budget gaming laptops only in Legion 5 series)
