May I know where you order from?

My bros and I went to Lowyat@Brightstar to order

You're welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it

By the way, besides purchasing the laptops, gaming laptops esp, what cooling pad you recommend that we should purchase together?
The other thread on cooling seems to 'promote' undervolting, thermal paste and stuff which I am not too keen to apply on the new laptop.

cooling pad is a waste of money imo...if you want a good one need to spend 100-200...meanwhile repaste+undervolt cost way lesser

Just lift the bottom with something (eg book), free and easy

I see. Ok. Thanks.
So if given a choice of 'free' gift, between cooling pad or mouse, I will just choose the mouse.

Hi, i am finding a new laptop because my old laptop, which is a HP Pavilion and it has issue with the motherboard. So I am finding a new laptop now, I have a budget of RM3.2k. I am an engineering student so I need to do Auto CAD and programming with it. But sometimes I will play some light games like League of Legends and World of Warships. I also need international warranty because I study in overseas. For weight and battery life, I guess it might not be a problem because its always plugged in. So do you have any suggestion?

Which country?

Germany

Unfortunately I don't think there's a decent model under 3.2k with international warranty

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43-R9B3 has 1 yr international but specs are a bit weak
Dell G7 7588 (i5+1050) has 2 yr premium support (including international) but again, specs a bit weak
Asus has global warranty but FX series sucks, also their warranty service sucks

What if I increase my budget to Rm3.5k? Because I wanted to buy a good laptop to at least last a good 5 years.

Get a business grade laptop

Hi there, what do you think about asus model which is asus tuf and asus rog strix

Im looking for a laptop range under Rm3500. If any possible good laptop under Rm3000 Im very appreciate. Good display for digital painting and casual gaming.

nothing decent from Asus under 3.5k, refer to the list for good options

Sifu ZM Fong, any idea how's the thermal performance of the recently released Illegear Raven SE-R? I did a lot of digging but can't seem to find any info about the thermal performance of the Raven SE-R. Also did you do some real life thermal testing on the Helios 300 2019 variant? How's the temp compares to the 2018 verson? I've seen some figures online but its better to get some proper query from here. Thermal wise Lenovo Legion Y540 RTX2060 or Acer Helios RTX2060, which one will cool better?

haven't test out
no, but the cooling is good in the new model
