Hey ZM Fong,

Unlike other k/, i sadly have to limit my spending by putting a max budget of 5-6k laptop and is seriously considering the 2 below:

1. Lenovo Legion Series (Y540, Y740 etc)
2. Asus RoG Strix G Series (G531 etc)

Here's my dillemma, I saw that you wrote that Asus has bad after sales support and I think you're right but its also slightly cheaper than Lenovo's. If you were to invest in your hard earned sweaty ringgits, which would you recommend sensei?

Zaijian laoban

No preference except for:

1. Screen colour accuracy (Adobe sRGB)
2. Screen refresh rate
3. Cooling and fan capacity
4. Whether undervolted or not
5. Specs
6. Build quality

So far am inching towards Y740 or Y540 tbh, still cant decide.

Edit: Mainly for gaming. Looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077

Thanks for the recommendations!

Bro ZM Fong, just wanna say thank you over your pro tip recommendation

After much deliberation, ordered the Lenovo Legion Y540 with 9th gen intel cpu, RTX 2060 and 16gb of ram

When I received it, I loved the aesthetics (not too gamery like the ones from ASUS or MSI), no thermal throttling issues (so far) and performance was great overall

My bros and I went to Lowyat@Brightstar to order

About 6k with 5XX+ installment for 12 months. The store charge around 4% of RRP as well sigh.

Cheaper by website but no installment and I want my laptop on same day instead of waiting and receiving lemon

If you can wait, go for website, better pricing and gifts
