Bro Sensei, whats the difference between Illgear selenite pro and level 51 forge 15? Same i9 + 2060 + 144hz but the former is RM2K more expensive. Thank you so much

Selenite Pro is a thin and light with good battery life (usually more expensive for this kind of gaming laptop), in fact it weights about the same with Forge 15 Pro despite being 17 inch. Moreover, it has magnesium alloy build compared to plastic and it has TB3 (which adds money also)

Would suggest getting 1660Ti, better price to performance compared to 1650

Commandos Glock 5 Plus (i5-9400,1660Ti,16GB,512GB,144Hz)
Level51 Forge 15 Elite: 120Hz low sRGB ~15ms
Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize (i5,1660Ti,8GB,1TB+512GB,144Hz): add another 8GB RAM later
Lenovo Legion Y7000SE customize (i5,1660Ti,16GB,1TB+512GB,144Hz,2x2 WIFI)

I have the same general priorities as this.

One part of me wants a Thinkpad E590 but it lacks backlit keyboard, then one part of me wants to do some casual gaming on it. Another part of me thought of the repairability of the laptop.

I'm inclined with Y530 due to my budget <RM3,100.
Also Illegear Raven SE (but availability of parts would be an issue as I live "overseas".

I absolutely dislike red accented keyboards. A very difficult decision to make.

As a matter of fact, I would forgo good graphics for laptop repairability and build quality without a gaugy design. I plan on using it for a long time (more of a media content consumer than a gamer).

Hi ZM Fong, between Y540 and Y7000SE, which one in your opinion is a better choice?

Or should we wait for Zephyrus G14 if the price range is magically around 4k-ish
