Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

1. Budget:3.5k and below
2. Usage : Normal dota gaming, engineering softwares like AutoCad and Matlab
3. Battery life: 5-7 hours
4.weight: Lighter than 2.4 kg please. Heavy laptops kill me

Don't mind srgb but 8gb ram

1. Budget :5k++
2. Usage : statistical modeling (R, python..), occasional usage on Adobe illustrator
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : min 16GB ram, less than 2kg, <20mm, no preference in battery life

I m currently looking illegear raven SE vs Prodigy, is it worth paying the extra RM1k plus for prodigy?
Also open to any other recommendations, thanks!

Prefer gaming laptop more? Need i7-9750H/8750H?
High sRGB display, non-upgradeable RAM:
Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 Intel 81BV000BMJ / CMJ
Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-54A3/5699

Low sRGB display:
Lenovo Thinkpad A485 96Wh +RAM
Lenovo Thinkpad E490, E590, E480, E580 +RAM+SSD
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Dell Vostro 5471/5481 +RAM+SSD
Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-520J / 54ZB - non-upgradeable RAM
Asus Vivobook S330F-AEY106T / 107T - non-upgradeable RAM
Cooling in Prodigy isn't great. Need to fix power limit issue manually in Raven SE

Another alternative is Commandos Katana 5 but CPU cooling is weak

Bro, talkin about illegear, how's the aftersales support? Does illegear come with recovery partition like other manufacturers? Im thinkin of gettin one.

Weight, display, audio, battery life are never my concern. I care only about processing prowess. Imma use it like a desktop

I never buy from them so can't tell, however from what I know it's pretty good

Is the recovery partition really that important though. I wipe all the partitions in my Y530 when doing fresh Windows install lol. Since Illegear laptops all comes with fresh Windows install as well, I don't think there is recovery partition, but it isn't necessary imo

Are you looking for a laptop? Where's your question?

A standard quad core processor should be enough

Need dGPU/Vega iGPU?

as long as the laptop can play a basic dota 2 should be alright

The issue cant be fixed in Prodigy? And you would suggest Raven SE over Prodigy? Thankss

Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?
Only fix I can think of is applying LM

Both have different specs and slightly different chassis, therefore cannot compare directly

By the way, any thoughts on Acer? specifically Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-54KG since you've suggested swimming in the 5-5.5K waters..?

Im planing to buy acer helios 300 any issue with it?

The new one is good

Thanks for the info!

1. Budget:3.5k +-
2. Usage : Mostly use for normal working,Normal gaming, dota etc ,
3.Weight: Lighter the better,
4. Prefer touch screen like hp x360 like tat.

No preference on battery life and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

Hi

Budget: 4k maximum
Usage: Netflix, heavy singleplayer games, some internet browsing
Weight: doesn't matter

Battery life also doesn't matter--would def be plugged in all the time.

Anything with good value for money.

Hi all sifus, need help in choosing a laptop for my own as I sold my x1c6 to use my parent's surface book, and the charging port seem to broke down on me. So back to hunting a new laptop haha..

1. Budget : 7.5k ( I'm a student so can get student price )
2. Usage : some gaming ( DotA and FFXIV), coding, lightroom
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :

Display Size : 15"
Battery Life: at least 6 hours when I'm not gaming.
Weight: as light as possible without decreasing on build quality...
DO NOT want a laptop that screams GAMER for it's look, prefer it to look tone down or professional. As this is gonna be my laptop for work as well..


Currently I'm eyeing on the XPS 15 7590 OLED.. not sure if it's a decent choice, as I tried out the XPS 13 9370 before.. the keyboard is stiff and hard to type for long periods imo..

Anyways, personally no brand preferences. Thankss
