COMMANDOS KATANA 5 promotion at RM3699 seems good (for i7 and 1060 model).

I noticed it is considered weak CPU cooling, is it over 90 C?

Actually the cooling is very similar to Slate-15 (same chassis), CPU cooling is slightly worse due to less 1 heatpipe. Gaming should be OK. Of course you can use max fans if you want best thermals

UPDATED (7/6/19)

How I rate gaming laptops
Build quality and cooling first. Display and input devices second. The rest are portability and battery life. QC and reliability are considered in build quality rating.

A few notes before reading:
1. Prices based on Lazada, Shopee and official online stores (other websites might have cheaper prices), however prices will fluctuate overtime
2. There might be error in the list, let me know if there's something incorrect
3. Models with 4GB RAM and HDD need RAM and SSD upgrades. Keep the extra cost in mind
4. This list will be updated from time to time
5. Some models are customizable
6. Models above RM10k are not included unless stated

If you need recommendations with special requirements or have any questions about a specific laptop model (eg comparison), kindly PM me.
