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

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.

Prefer gaming laptop or regular laptop/Ultrabook

Not full gaming tbh.. altho I prefer performance, but I will give in that I need the battery life to sustain me for about half a day at max. If possible at least 6-7 hours of work time..

Max weight prolly 2.2kg? Idk... I tried my brother's razer blade 15 advanced 2018 before.. that weight is kinda perfect for me..

Ouch.. I tried xps13, too small for me haha.. had trouble typing on the keyboard, feels to cramped for me, so it's uncomfortable for me. Tbh, I miss the old generation of Alienware before they go thicc.. especially when they have the black and red cover to choose.. damn.. that time the laptop looks so sweet and sexy

Already have a good desktop, so need a laptop for portability and some mild gaming performance.. I would actually go for X1 Extreme Gen2 but lenovo is taking their sweet time.. haiz..

regular laptop/workstation: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme / P1, MSI PS63, Asus UX533FD

gaming: Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-51-73YN, Aero 15 SA AMOLED (over budget)

note that thinner laptops usually have worse CPU temp

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

upgradable RAM is preferable tho
