decent, can get discounted price

there are other good options as well

GF63 has mediocre build quality and cooling

Hi, any feedback on legion y7000 se? Is this good enough for medium gaming like monster world or pubg? Reliability and cooling is good?

Since I am not hardcore gamer, I am looking at i5-9300h, 8gb ram and gtx1650 configuration.

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).
*
Y530 can get lower than 3.1k?

Btw, raven se is within ur budget. If pay cash, I think it's 3040.

Can't get the code to work
Yes 3199 for 1050ti, wonder if it's still a good choice considering that scer nitro 5 with 1650 & 144hz available at 2.7
*
Can list out more specs so we can give some feedback?

Acer nitro 5 43 R3B4
R7 1650 144Hz
The same one listed by ZM Fong

I assume the y530 is I7 8750 right? And other specs like ram and hdd is similar. I would go for y530.

Both have their own pros and cons (looks, weight+dimensions, desktop CPU, onsite warranty etc)

If the games you play are CPU heavy then I would suggest i7+1660Ti instead

Good enough for the games you've mentioned

Again, it's a consumer grade laptop so you might get lemon

1050Ti isn't worth it anymore IMO since you can get 1650, unless you want special spec like i7+144Hz

Raven SE base spec has only 1050 GPU

Which configuration you've chosen? Did you tick all the additional upgrades?

Nitro 5 with 120Hz low sRGB IPS FYI, not higher quality 144Hz
*
Thanks man, already placed a booking for y7000 se with the said configuration.

Hope it can last long and the cooling won't be that hot.

I can guide you on thermal testing once you've received the laptop, just to make sure thermals are normal

continue discussion via PM?

Thanks man.. Was just reading about gaming performance, and fps of around 40-50 should be enough to enjoy a game properly right? Or need >60fps?

I noticed most of the games especially AAA games wont be able to get >60 fps with gtx1650..

Buying in lenovo website is better than buying on those shopee lazada?

Is it easily self customizable? I tot y7000 is more higher end compare to y540?
*
Yes, much more better, and cheaper too. All my 3 laptops I had purchased from lenovo website.

Very easy to customize, and more customize-able than Dell. Y7000 and Y540 is same level, with the outlook is the major differences. Y7000 looks more gaming like, and while y540 looks abit more subtle. If buying y7000, better go for y7000 se, as its using 9th gen intel.

So which one is the good model and which one is the bad if choose amongst this two? in the web which one would be cheaper? how come i see Y540 is slightly cheaper?

Y7000 SE should have backpack. I got mine for RM1 (RRP is >RM200), as part of the laptop deal.

Delivery should take 2 to 3 weeks. 1 week for manufacturing, and around 1 week plus for delivery.
