Hello ZM Fong ,

I'm a student looking for a laptop that can be used to editting photos and maybe a little bit of videos . I will also use the laptop for productivity task and also gaming ( Dota ) .My budget is around 3k.With that in mind :-

1) Would you recommend the Raven Se to someone like me ?
2) What configuration would be the best for my needs , i5+gtx 1050 or with gtx1650? ( Sorry I'm noob about this )
3)How long does the Raven Se's battery last for light tasks like web browsing ,music ect ?

Thanks in advance. smile.gif

1. Yes if you're willing to do manual power limit tuning
2. Of course higher spec is better - try to get 1650 if possible, worth the money
3. I didn't test that but expect 5-6 hrs

Thanks for your input. I'm currently looking into Lenovo Y530. The size of the lenovo seems bulky in comparison to the Raven SE. I was wondering how both these laptops compare in terms of

1.Display [ I am looking for a high srgb/ adobe rgb panel, both brands have upgrades for the screens]
2.Build quality [Which feels sturdy for the price]
3. Gpu and Cpu performance[ the lenovo comes with i7 eight gen, gtx 1050i, while the raven se is i5 9th gen,gtx1650]
4. battery life

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks once again smile.gif

Y530 high sRGB models only 81FV00M8MJ and 81LB006LMJ

Build quality both are decent, Raven SE is slightly sturdier

CPU and GPU performance: 8750H>9300H, 1650>1050TI - more powerful CPU or GPU depending on your workload

Battery life: Y530 4-5 hrs, Raven SE 62Wh 5-6 hrs (estimate)

Thank you once again! Seems like the Raven Se is a better buy then. This is my first buying an Illegear product. naturally I wonder if their after sales service is good. Has anyone had good/bad experience dealingwith Illegear? Also, if anyone owns a standard batter model Raven SE [42wh]. i would like to ask about the real world battery performance. Ideally i would need it to last at least 4.5 hours of light use,like web browsing.

Thanks in advance! smile.gif

If my use is mostly productivity tasks ,like lecture slides ,YouTube vids ,browse the net . And for gaming just Dota 2 or csgo .And also I would like to edit raw photos and do some video editting .

Would the i5 plus gtx 1650 be okay
Or should I opt for i7 plus gtx 1050

Which is more future proof . My budget is limited so I can either choose better GPU or CPU

Hello ZM Fong ,

Do you know the sRGB ,Adobe rgb and NTSC coverage for the Lenovo legion y530 (LENOVO LEGION Y530-15ICH 81FV00M8MJ)

Considering this over the raven Se with upgraded screen . However I can't find information about the screens colour accuracy for this model .
Thanks again.

high sRGB 144Hz

But why go for older models, can get Y540 also

Seems like y530 with i7 (LENOVO LEGION Y530-15ICH 81FV00M8MJ) is the better buy. Also I am not sure how the newer model differs from the older one except for the graphics.For Dota 2 ,1050 ti plus i7 should be fine right ?

What about the screen,? since i am looking for a high srgb variant, the only option is 144hz screen, right? If i am not mistaken models with that screen cost 4k plus. Does the 60 hz panel have good colour accuracy, i keep asking lenovo online customer service, they don't seem to know either.
