Realistically no one can guarantee on that

Urgent purchase or able to wait longer?

Is there any rumors that new and decent laptop that will coming out in two months? If yes than I can wait (and top up my budget too)

Hi guys! I'm looking to find a laptop that's suitable for gaming but yet not so bulky. A lot of times gaming laptops are made really chunky & I understand that's to help with the performance ability, cooling systems & such but I'm also concerned about the portability so I'm quite conflicted. Maybe if really no suitable gaming laptop I'll just custom a desktop ba...

Yes, rumors and confirmed news
Budget? Max weight in kg?

1. Budget : RM3600
2. Usage : atleast 5 tabs of google chrome running, and 1 trading platform, run 24hr in aircond room at home. life as digital nomad. so portability n lightweight is important
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 14inch to 15.6inch, no ned touch screen, no need fancy flip.

Since Forge 15s doesn't have a proper review yet, Raven SE

If me, ill go for level 51 because
1) 15.6" FHD 120HZ Wide Viewing Angle Display (1920x1080)
2) cheaper

Hi, kindly help recommend a lap top ( beside acer)
budget 2k to 2.8k
purpose : movie, youtube, facebook and light gaming, maybe dota 2.

Hi Guys - looking at the Ideapad 5 which run the i7-10 gen processors. Understand was recently launched on Lenovo website this year.

Played around with the Lenovo configuration : i7-1065G7, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD M2 2280, 14 inch IPS 300nits (non touch), Nvidia MX350....final price about RM3.7k (after discount and includes windows + office)

They also have the 15.6 inch version which is around RM200 extra. Same specs as above but extra hard drive slot (dummy), and 15.6 IPS multi touch panel.

Cant find reviews on the Ideapad 5 (Intel) yet but read few good reviews on the AMD version (Ryzen 4000 series). Still have a preference for Intel though...

What you guys think of the above specs and price? Worthwhile to get touchscreen? - havent had a notebook with touchscreen before

Thanks

Any preferences on weight and battery life?

Choosing model is more important than brand IMO
Ideapad 5 is similar to S540, with a few differences (eg no more upgradeable RAM)

Suggest getting i5 if you plan to get dGPU, CPU performance will not be much different in most cases compared to i7

For the touchscreen it really depends on you. Note that the touchscreen doesn't have pen support

Try to get a good discount (coupon/code like LENXCIMB), RM3.7k for a mid range laptop is a bit expensive IMO

Thanks for feedback ZM Fong

The other option would be the i5-1035G1 Processor (1.00GHz, up to 3.60GHz with Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 6MB Cache), which will bring down cost by about RM500. Read somewhere the i7-1065G7 is about 20% faster but you think this may be moderated by the dGPU?

The LENXCIMB coupon is better than Lenovo coupon..thanks! Is there an expiry date?

1. Budget : RM3000
2. Usage : web browsing and 1 trading platform. no gaming
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 14inch, able to extend to 2 monitors, below 2kg, with Graphic card

currently looking at https://www.acer.com/ac/en/MY/content/model/NX.HBJSM.002

Intel® Core™ i5 (i5 - 8265U, 1.60 GHz, 6 MB) - 35.6 cm (14") LED - 16:9 Full HD - LCD - ComfyView - NVIDIA® GeForce® MX250 Up to 2 GB - 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM - No - Colour Silver - Weight (Approximate) 1.35 kg

i wonder the above model ram can be upgraded to 16gb?

CPU performance wise 1065G7 isn't that faster, in fact it might be slightly slower. iGPU performance of course G7>G1, however since you aldy opted for dGPU there's no need for a good iGPU

I don't think the code will expire (existed for months)
If no gaming, there's no need to take dGPU

SF314-55/55G don't have upgradeable RAM. Is 16GB a must to you?
