preferably gaming laptop..ya i know not all model has international warranty but i prefer to have it..

Decent? So it's not as good as forge 15 pro? But it's seriously the best value laptop after the discount. 5k+ with i7 9 gen + rtx and 1tb ssd + 1tb hhd

dunno lenovo premier support got or not but i'll put here
Lenovo Legion Y7000 customize, Y540 customize (use code LENXCIMB with CIMB card)
Lenovo Legion Y7000 SE 81T0001HMJ, Y540 15 81SY00AJMJ

wat bout raven se? customize also?

updated: Illegear can do remote support but carry in still need to go KL.

what about level51 forge 15? can consider?

Anyone tried

HP 15s-Du1004TX, or
Hp 15s-Du1002TU?

Am considering either one for normal home use for office n web surfing

HP generic line - not recommended

FYI Comet Lake isn't much different compared to Kaby Lake Refresh (eg 10210U vs 8250U)
Also decent, but definitely no international support. Yes customize from website

yes just confirmed with them..level51 got support..forge 15 can consider? any recommended/necessary customization? or just basic will be enough?

So you're saying the 10 series not worth waiting for?
I saw like some brands are already updating their processors with the 10series.

Was tempted to buy. But no review so scared lol.

10.10 sale coming up, maybe I should use it to buy some older models on promo.

There’s 2 lines of CPU under 10th gen.

One is Comet Lake, which as explained before, it’s just another rebrand of current 8th gen Whiskey Lake with practically no differences in performance or value. If it don’t come at an extra price, no harm getting it; but if it comes with 8th gen Whiskey Lake at a cheaper price, I will take it over 10th gen anyday.

Another line is Ice Lake, which can be identify with their weird naming scheme i7-1065G7 and so. Those should have marginally better processing power and lower power consumption than current 8th-gen Whiskey Lake. They also have more up to par iGPU that can at last rival NVIDIA or AMD basic level dGPU like MX150 and do. But again, since the yield of this 10nm CPU is insufficient, don’t expect to find it in much of the laptops out there, and certainly won’t be on budget/sub RM3k laptop. This Ice Lake is also very dependent on the RAM speed for its iGPU performance, hence its gonna be paired with LPDDR4X soldered RAM like those in smartphones all the time. 8GB RAM laptop won’t be future proof enough, and 16GB model gonna cost an arm and leg more.

Level51 onsite also need courier send back, though they support warranty in SG (through Aftershock)

Which config you're looking at?
well explained

just to add: not all Ice Lake ULVs have Iris iGPU, some still using old UHD iGPU

i have confirmed with them..normal carry in warranty already can walk into their SG branch to claim warranty..and this applies both ways..i am looking at forge 15 base spec (i5, gtx 1050 3gb)..should i upgrade to gtx 1650 4gb instead?

it is weird that in their fineprint mention the gtx 1650 option is only available when selecting i7 but i still can select i5 and gtx 1650 and send to shopping cart..

i heard tat forge 15 and raven se are the same laptop..so does this mean that forge 15 is also a decent choice?

that one is carry in, not onsite - I thought you're referring to onsite?

definitely upgrade to 1650, 1050 is old card and noticeably less powerful

need i7 for 1650 config

They are not the same. Both are decent choices

oh sorry i didnt specify clearly..i meant to say tat i am looking for laptops whose brand/manufacturer/supplier has service centers in SG and still accept carry in for laptops purchased in msia, apart from onsite warranty..

i think legion laptops have it but not sure if it also applies to laptops purchased through resellers (not lenovo own store)..normally resellers state "local manufacturer warranty" in the description..

need to pair 1650 with i7? hmm strange because for raven se nothing is stated in customization page and during checkout as well..does this mean they allow i5 with 1650 configuration?

new Legions have premier onsite but not sure support international coverage or not

Raven SE does allow i5+1650 config, NH58RAQ aka Forge 15 must come with i7

Hi all sifus here, I'm looking for a laptop, total dummy here so any input is greatly appreciated.

Budget : rm2.5k inclusive of those Microsoft Office programs
Usage : Office work, mostly excel or words, browsing and maybe watching youtube
Requirements : Nothing in particular, but prefer something slim and light so I can easily carry it around for work. Normal laptop screen size, is that 13-14?

Thanks in advance

No preference on battery life? Preferred max weight?
