Max weight in kg?

Not open to other options?

Budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life?

2070 GPU under RM7.5k:
Level51 Nova 15
Commandos Tiger 4 (no GSYNC, no TB3)
Illegear Selenite
MSI GE63 8SF-253 / GE63 8SF-096

Would not get thin and light if you don't need that

Yes it's a thin and light

Consider Nova 15 aka PB51RF-G then (I've done a review on it), or other options listed
Thin and light is not necessary then. However 5-6 hrs battery life is a bit long in gaming laptops, fine with 4-5 hrs or you want longer?

Asus laptops have poor QC+QA in general. Even if some of their models are decent, avoid if possible

Thin and light with decent cooling and GPU boost feature (higher GPU TDP):
Level51 Vapor 15 Pro (94Wh)
Illegear Onyx 63Wh
Illegear Prodigy 63Wh
Illegear Raven SE-R 63Wh

1-2 weeks according to buyers

Which model and what specs?

Runs hot

RM4.6k can get Legion Y7000SE aldy (LENXCIMB code). Or Commandos Glock 5 Alpha (promo)

You're welcome

Got upgrade to 16GB RAM? Also, would you like to do some thermal testing after receiving the laptop?

usually 1-2 weeks

Both models are decent, cost around RM3.6k. Forge 15 has 120Hz panel though

IMO i5 is enough for your usage (Forge 15 cannot be configured with i5+1650). Also consider Legion Y7000SE with code LENXCIMB (expiring soon). 2 yr premier onsite and W10 key included

1660Ti is more worth it, if possible get that
Of course, PM for further discussion

Do you absolutely need TB3 and GSYNC?

Refer to the thread: Y7000 SE customize with code LENXCIMB and Shopback. Or the premade models: Y7000 SE 81T0001HMJ, Y540 15 81SY00AJMJ

Alternative: Illegear Raven SE / Raven

You don't need i7-9750H to pair with 1650, i5-9300H is good enough

MSI GL63, Asus GL552 and FX505 aren't that good. m17 is completely out of your budget, and it has mediocre cooling

I would say both are equally decent, Raven SE/SE-R is slightly more portable but has slightly less cooling room. You need to try out yourselves

I think both are same but cannot 100% confirm yet
Cheap with ecoupon+shopback

Y540 has better cooling

No, they are basically the same

If you don't need TB3, 500 nits GSYNC and RGB then go for Y7000SE. Note that Y740 15 is slightly thinner, has more premium build material but keyboard layout is a bit weird and key travel is worse

Get Y530 for under 2.5k
