hello, I am new when it comes to gaming laptops. I wish to play games like Sims 4, Dota 2, etc with good cooling while having programs like AutoCAD, MatLab. My budget is around RM3k, will be willing to upgrade if it is the better one I did some research about the processor and is still unsure of these matters. I read that Ryzen is better than intel when it comes to gaming, is this true? would love to hear any feedback from the sifus. I research the laptops within my budget on the first page, like below Illegear Raven Se https://store.illegear.com/raven-se-series/...r-raven-se.htmlLenovo 5 https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/legion...5/p/88GMY501444Lenovo Y530 https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/legion...H/p/88GMY501020Lenovo 5i https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/legion...5/p/88GMY501434Lenovo Y540 (15) https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/legion...5/p/88GMY501214I am unsure which laptop is best, as all the computer processors are a bit confusing. As a new user, which should I choose for? Thank you so much in advance This post has been edited by Pengie: Jun 4 2020, 12:33 PM

However it also depends on many factors like which CPU you're comparing and the games you play. IMO the difference is small and at some point / in some cases, it doesn't really matter Any preferences on weight and battery life

I have no preferences on the weight (since gaming laptop is expected to be heavier), but battery life would be nice to be 5 hours

Between 10750h+2070mq and 10875h+2060 If for gaming, stronger GPU always come first before processor. An i5 8th gen + GTX1060 beat i7 10th gen + GTX1650 in gaming performance.

For Legion related questions I would suggest continue discussion here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4750900/QUOTE(cfphan @ Jun 4 2020, 06:23 PM) how to know which has GSYNC? As long as it has 10875H+RTX GPU+144Hz then it will come with GSYNC QUOTE(dycod @ Jun 4 2020, 06:53 PM) The GSYNC u mean is for internal monitor or external monitor? Internal monitor - 144Hz only, the 240Hz panel doesn't have GSYNC (no certification) QUOTE(Pengie @ Jun 4 2020, 06:51 PM) thank you!! can you please explain more about the customization part with the 2060? for which model?

I looked at the configurable component section in the Lenovo website, a bit confused haha what is 2060 actually? i am sorry, i do not know much  if you budget is 3k++ , i dont think you can get anywhere near RTX2060, most gaming laptop (that ive researched this 1-2weeks with price range of 3.5k give or take uses GTX1650) which in my concern is, wont be future proof enough since were halfway in the year 2020. if can stretch to 4.5k like that (LENXCIMB), i think Legion 5i + RTX2060 would be nice (but running on intel 10th gen ya). my guestimation this could last give or take at least 3-5 years? depends on games development. RTX 2060 can sapot up to 4k games (bear in mind that laptop monitors are only 1080p) may need to connect to external 4k monitor with high refresh rate. if youve seen dave2d (youtube) he did mention that right now the GPU is so powerful that the hardwares are abit slow behind to catch up. need to find the balance..

Was doing research to get my hands on my first ever gaming laptop and came across this site topic.
Gotta say topic creator ZM Fong really did a tremendous job.
I read all the comments and discussion among everyone from Page 1 to last, just to make sure I won't miss out any important info and get the best 'bang for bucks' deal.
Just when i finally decided to proceed my purchase for Lenovo Legion 5, their server seems to have issue this whole day and I wasnt able to proceed adding to cart.
Gotta try my luck again tomorrow and hope everything goes well.
Also, I would be appreciate if anyone could intro me a good and reliable PC retail shop(Klang Valley area) as i also wanted to get new CPU for my work, gotta find retailer as I kinda need it ASAP.
