Hi sifus,

Looking to buy a gaming laptop for work and games. Been reading some reviews and shortlisted this Legion 5.

Found this pricing and specs on Shopee:

Ryzen 7 4800
GTX 2060
512gb ssd
2x8gb ram
Dolby vision screen - 100% srgb

RM5,700 + Free Gift Lenovo 32in Gaming Monitor and Backpack

Is it worth it or any other better suggestion? Or it is advisable to wait for the new Ryzen 5000 + GTX 30 series combo?

Thanks all..

if you want the monitor then quite worth

how long u can wait?

Not in a rush so still can wait, as I have another laptop to use now. Waiting time for delivery also okay.

Just wondering if the new 5000 series + RTX 30 can be bought at the same price, can last me longer haha.

Normally can the issue be fixed through driver update? Still may take some time right?

this is hardware level issue so not sure AMD can fix or not

Ahh i see. So now may be the time to buy those 4000 series then as they are considered stable.
Price wise do you reckon they will drop further when the 5000 series is launched here?

Just a quick question, can't I modify the NVME SSD configurations in Legion 5 to be 128GB and 1TB respectively? When I select 1TB for the first disk drive, the second is automatically fixed at 1TB as well.

Hi Bro i think u have 2 choices here:

1. get 1 SSD with dummy drive - but stick with 60wh battery
2. get 2 SSD - the battery fitted will be 80wh.

Unless you really wanted gaming spec SSD, the SSD price lenovo provided is quite fair i think. Getting a bigger battery out from factory may be a good choice smile.gif

Just my 2 cents haha

Hi guys.

Any views on latest Asus ROG Strict G17 (713) and Scar 17 (733)?

Price difference is only RM500 (for the higher spec one).

In this price, any other models worth considering?

Hi sifus

Planning to get the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 instead of Asus ROG Strix G17 because of its 32 GB ram compare to G17 16GB ram
Is it worth the price or upgrade?

And how these laptop's performance and thermal? Any review or opinion?

Thank you
*
Haha same here. Price diff isn't much but the scar just offer abit more, mechanical keyboard, better speakers, etc.

Wanting to hear some advice. Or is there any alternatives to these.

Asus ROG G713Q-RHG075T

G733 not worth IMO, G713Q-RHG075T has better value

decent but need manual higher fan speed or max fan speed

currently there aren't options to choose from, even Gxx3Q series isn't the best choice imo
*
I see. Thanks alot. Guess we need to be abit patient and wait for other brands as well haha

I would more concern about the spec hahaha

so you decided to give up rog and wait for other brand? hahaha

Yea may just wait a little while, for promo maybe. Since not in a hurry to get 1 yet. How about u?
