You're welcome

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

Nah, I kept it at 8gb for now to keep myself from over budgeting, might directly upgrade it to 8x2 when I get it though, depending on the market price then.

I'd would like to help with the thermal test but lenovo says it'll take 4-6week to deliver. I'll check back on this post then if you'd still want my participation.

usually 1-2 weeks

Yup today check should be arriving end of nov

master Fong,

i'm going to buy a gaming laptop next month with budget around RM3500, need some advise from you

base on same spec of :

I7
GTX1650
2x8GB ram
512GB SSD
thermal grizzly kryonaut
wireless ac 9560
basic 15.6" FHD display


illegear Raven-Se vs level 51 Forge 15

which is more recommended?

my usage mainly for gaming of Cities Skylines, Space Engineers, Monster Hunter, Ark Survival Evolve, Starpoint Gemini Warlords, Borderlands 3

Hello, I have budget around 6k, Can I get a good gaming laptop?

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

in case wanna upgrade gpu / cpu in future, which is better?

laptop with gtx1660ti is too expensive, way over budget for me

GPU & CPU are soldered on to the board.... non upgradable

Very few notebooks these days have upgradeable CPUs/GPUs

The only choices are those big and bulky Clevo based barebones

i thought the simulation games (cities skylines, space engineer, ark survival evolved) i play require high processing power?
that's y i choose i7 =D

Is this worth it? Or should I wait for black friday sales this coming week?

Do you absolutely need TB3 and GSYNC?

Thanks for the thread.. Its awesome.. Can help recommend me budget 3k to 3.5k i7 and good cooling last run gaming laptop? Currently looking msi gl63 8rcs rm2899 and Asus gl 552v and Asus tuf fx505 and alienware m17 or any other? Thanks bro

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

Thanks for the quick reply. Looking forward raven se.. Around 3.3k thanks bro

Long time lurker here without account.
I never intended to comment at any thread but I just wanna thank you for your contribution.

I'm planning to buy Raven SE/R or Forge 15 Pro, and it seems that both are great choices. I'd love to go to showroom someday and see how it feels.

Any distinctive pro and con between these 2 choice though?

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

Thanks a lot, appreciate your advice. 😁

Ei yo I got the laptop and done some test, you want them result on PM? I'm newb on this forum and can't seem to upload the photo on the result.
