Hi, I'm in the market for new laptop for 3D rendering

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?

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

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

Hi sifus,

Any recommendations for gaming laptop under 5k? Mostly using it for dota because my current xps cant handle other games...my dell xps last me more than 7 years already and quite happy with it...

can i know why need to wait 1 - 3 months?? My xps still functioning..just want to upgrade

@zmfong,

Bro my friend told me next week might have launching for new model...lenovo 5i series i think...i think i should wait for the new launch model right

Can advice if Illegear or Level51 laptop can last?

I had have Dell and MSI, the laptop seems to be able to last many years, but no longer as gaming purpose, at least still working laptop for my wife to use as office use...

Want to know if Illegear and Level51 laptop can last that long? maybe 5~7years?

is there any other alternatives aside from the Legion 5 series, being below 4k budget with R4600H with at least 1660TI instead?

What's the difference between level51 forge 15r and illegear Ares v?

Bro, how about Lenovo Legion Y545 sku 81Q6003QMJ. Come with 144hz (don't know the srgb %), i5 9300, 8GB, 512GB SSD and RTX2060. Pricing is at RM4699. Is it recommended?

Finally, Lenovo website updated latest Legion & Ideapad Gaming 3i model just now, with Ideapad 3i(GTX1650) start from RM3,699.

Worth to buy?

https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/legion...D/p/88IPG301387

all same items except HDD

5i = 2TB 5400+512GB
7i = 1TB SSD PCIe NVMe

is 7i worth the difference?

Thanks bro.

The Lenovo 5i spec and pricing just released. Much better than current line up.

I got sku 81Y6005GMJ, with
i5-10300H, 100%sRGB,  16GB Ram, 1TB+256GB storage, 4zone RGB!, RTX2060 at RM4560. Wow!

Before discount, price is RM5699. I use LENXCIMB code.

Is this good buy?

Vapor Chamber very much better than pipe?

Wow! 144hz is added bonus. Actually im fine with 60hz as long it is 100% sRGB.

And the 4 zone RGB also like bonus to me. Kinda digging that syle.

Really worth the wait! Better buy fast before sold out.

Thanks for all the help and input bro.

LENXCIMB

will have to use CIMB to use this code or any other card also can?

Anyway thanks for your opinion 

LENXCIMB - code is expiring this month?

Wow! I just made the purchases for my dream laptop. Waiting 2 weeks time.

Many thanks for bro @ZM Fong. If not, maybe i purchase wrong model ady.

want to get the 7i but need to know if can addon another hdd the sales person said unit not on the estore yet so cannot confirm on that   

only x2 M.2 slots - means can have 2 NVMe right?

is it a must to use it as RAID or the 2nd stick can be extra space?

Lenovo Legion 7i (15)

Part Number: 81YT003TMJ

Rm6677 after apply code.

this a good buy? worth it?

I checked psref For Malaysian unit, all only came with 240hz, is this true?

confirmed news ke this? like this better wait 4600H with 1660ti if can dapat below 4k cantik la

So means I have to opt for proper Legion model in this case.

How about Legion 5i? Planned to play Epic games title(GTA V & Red zdead Redemption II) & some Steam games.

Is base model with GTX1650 sufficient for that?

Bro im wondering. For Lenovo laptop, does the retail unit price will follow exactly like "web price" or will follow after discounted price eg: if one use code such as LENXCIMB?

Eg: Webprice RM5699 /  LENXCIMB price RM4559. Retail price will be?

Thanks.

Yes retail store unit pricing.

Err wait. Do they sell in retail store? Like Acer, Asus brand?

Thanks guys for this. I wouldve never known.
They messed up the product page 😅

Looks promising. Shall I wait for the coming June promotion ? https://lenovo.my/legionpreorder/

Or wait other brand to offer new AMD laptop? The new MSI Bravo looks cool with the RGB per key. Will use it for photo editing and gaming (GTA, Red Dead Redemptions 2,need for speed)

i hear very less of Acer Predator range here.. any problem / complaints?? ZM FONG
