Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R0CS/R2YE +RAM

Hi guys, i'm planning to buy my son a new laptop.

1. Budget : Around RM4k
2. Usage : Games (Roblox, Minecraft, CS:GO, Fortnite)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : What can i get?

I recently saw an advertisement for Illegear Raven SE with specs as below which i think is quite good price. Only it doesn't come with original windows.

Processor - i5-9300H
Ram - 2x8GB DDR4 (dual channel)
Hdisk - 512GB M2
Graphic - GTX1650 4GB DDR5
Display - 15.6" FHD Anti-glare IPS
WiFi - AC9560, Bluetooth 5
OS - No (Add RM349 W10H)
Battery - No Info
Beg - No (Add RM139)
Warranty - 2 years
Weight - 1.9kg
Price - RM3,379 (no OS) / RM3,703 (with W10H) or RM3,987 (i7 & 144hz no OS)

I am currently using MSI GL63 8SE-099 which runs on i5 8th gen and RTX2060. I saw some guy here in lowyat forum selling it brand new for around RM4500 only. Should i add some money to get RTX2060 graphic or GTX1650 is sufficient already to handle.

tbh I'm also not sure how it works since I never tried before

lol 😂

a few forumers had tried but not me

Looking at a Windows laptop to replace my MBP.

Because I'm on the road a lot I would like the machine to be slim/light but at the same time have these requirements:

1) Dedicated graphics card
2) 16GB minimum RAM, 32GB preferred
3) 2 storage slots - Either 2x M2, or 1x M2 + 1x SATA

For these reasons, I'm mainly looking at the new(er) Xiaomi Notebook Pro that comes with the 1050. If there are any other options, I'd like to hear them.

1. Budget : 3K to 3.5K
2. Usage : For MS Office usage, light gaming(optional), browsing
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 13/14 inch, weight less than 1.5kg. The lesser the better. Having a dedicated GPU is a plus.
4. Mostly will use it for travel and meeting. Currently using 15 inch Lenovo Y510p. Too heavy to carry around for a long time.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Good day. Appreciate the recommendations from all sifus here.

My requirements are simple: Normal working use, wish to pick up Adobe skills, thus wish to get one that could support all kinds of high-tech software/ programs (mainly Adobe cz want to do photo and video editing, and also Virtual Box etc). Durable outer layer, lightweight, good battery life, screen around 14 inch, high speed or RAM and long lasting at least 5 years, and wish to have good after-sales service/ long warranty.

Budget: Around RM4k (inclusive Microsoft license + after-sales warranty).

In terms of brand comparison, Dell vs HP vs Lenovo vs Asus vs Acer, which is good/ reliable?

I did some survey in shops, can sifus enlighten me wt's the difference between HDD vs SSD? SSD better or HDD better or combo of both? And is graphic card needed for Adobe/ photos & video editting use?

Kindly suggest the brands and models, thanks all sifus

Budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life?
Can consider Lenovo Thinkpad T495 or X395 (customize in Lenovo website)
No brand is good/reliable, it all depends on model (except for Razer which has bad QC)

If you want durable+long lasting, consider business laptops:
Lenovo Thinkpad T490 (optional MX250), T495
Lenovo Thinkpad X390, X395, T495s

use code LENXCIMB for 20% discount

No budget... I'm down/side grading from MBP 13 Touchbar. Mac OS just doesn't suit my requirements anymore. I just want similar specs to what I currently have.

Will look at the illegear but I think it was a bit on the chunky side - I prefer something light and slim because of how often I travel.

Can consider Level51 Vapor 15 Pro aka Eluktronics Mag-15

Looks nice but I feel like I would be paying for the 144hz screen that I don't need. Maybe I will check it out when I get back to KL.

144Hz IPS also has decent overall quality (high sRGB colour coverage / colour accurate, decent brightness+contrast, minimal ghosting)

I don't think most of those things are important to XLS Also, the kind of gaming I do (if I even have time) is basic - I play some Cities Skyline and Dead by Daylight (although the last time I opened either of those games is months ago).

Thank you. Book X395 and customized it in Lenovo website. Manage to get it under 3K after 45% Lenovo discount + 8% Shopback discount.
