Hi all sifus..


Need some help and recommendations.

I have an 8 years old Lenovo Laptop. Boot time takes forever. Around 3 mins. Is it better for me to just buy another gaming laptop or just buy 500gb SSD instead? It can run 60 fps with very low settings for Dota 2. It really hurt my eyes tho.

Purpose: Dota 2, CSGO, Dota Underlords
Budget: Cheapest Laptop that can play Dota 2 on high settings

Not that hardcore tho. Just playing 2-3 hours max and 4-5 hours during weekend. Not really urgent. However, I do travel a lot, so, I would like to bring my laptop when I am outatation. It would be good the laptop is bundled together with gaming mouse and backpack.

Any suggestions?

Better change a new one (IMO change every 3-5 yrs), if you have the budget. What's your max budget?

Thanks for the reply.

4k max. Btw, is it wise to buy laptop using easy payment plan or just use savings instead?

Any preferences on weight and battery life?

Not sure what you mean by the last question



Not too heavy of course. I will carry them quite a lot during my travel. No issue on battery life.

Just asking whether buying a laptop by credit card instalment is better than just pay by cash?

If payment by instalment then I would go for higher/better quality gaming laptop. If just using cash, then the budget will be tighter.

GTX1650 gaming laptop can play Dota 2 on high settings?

Max weight you can accept in kg?

Payment method depends on you TBH

1650 sure can play D2 at high settings

RM5k you won't find a decent MSI model, not to mention that MSI models are overpriced nowadays while cooling solution is becoming worse than competitors due to no improvement

How about Asus Rog Strix?
