go for business laptops: Latitude 5000/7000 DFO or wait for new Thinkpads

Thank you!

@ ZM Fong

Currently is there any gaming laptop that is not matte finish screen , like clear crystal panel type ?

what is the benchmark currently and how expensive it is ?

Hi guys, I know this ain't the right thread but considering so many tech experts here...Was just wondering if limiting charging capacity to just 60% actually saves the battery's life span, or is it just a hoax cause my logic is that constant charging and discharging would be worst for the laptop battery.

Thanks in advance

why dont u take out the battery while using with plug ?

Hi;

Could anyone suggest AMD Ryzen laptop for following program use:

1- AutoCAD
2- CATIA

AMD Ryzen 4000 Series processor
Minimum 8GB DDR3 RAM
Minimum 256 GB of SSD
Windows 10

Budget around 2.5k - 2.8k, could stretch up to 3k max

Maybe it's a built in battery

LF a laptop that can play slightly old games like DotA 2 with good settings, xcom, civilization if possible.

Budget is around 4k, would this be sufficient?

Size brand and battery doesn't matter as long as the gaming can be done.

Thanks!

You mean glossy panel? If I remember correctly the 4K OLED Samsung display in some gaming laptops is using glossy panel

Glossy panel is glass panel in other words, might increase cost but I'm not sure on that. However it can improve lid rigidity and the material feel. Only downsides are more obvious reflections, and the glass might break and costs money to repair (if something bad happens)
Battery should be kept at 30-70% (or 20-80%), so yes it does help the lifespan by limiting charge and not discharging battery
Looking for Ultrabook or gaming/performance type?
Can consider Legion 5 customize (use code LENXCIMB)

Thanks for the info, will check it out!

Hi sifus, would appreciate some recommendations.

1. Budget :
RM4500 and below (can adjust if needed)

2. Usage :
Gaming for AAA titles (medium/high settings for the next at least 2-3 years, can stretch budget a bit if needed), side hobby for video editing, programming

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
Not particular about display size or RGB accuracy, preferably lower than 2.4kg, battery life I expect to plug in charger all the time already but of course hope can last 6 hours idle time under medium load.

Please recommend me laptops for where I can buy immediately, and recommendations if I can wait 1-2 months.

Thank you

Level51 Forge 15R 1660Ti

I'll take a look. May i know if got other brands to recommend too?

you need to up budget to around RM5k if you want more decent models with 1660Ti/2060

That's fine, what models are those? For 1660Ti

a few examples:
Lenovo Legion 5i 15 81Y6005JMJ 1660Ti (use code LENXCIMB)
Lenovo Legion Y7000 SE 81NS0021MJ

I tried customising Lenovo Legion Y540, can get cheaper at RM4.8K with i7-9750H and 1660Ti and include Microsoft Office.

1) May I know if there is a reason why we should go for the Legion 5i 15? It costs around RM5.2K I understand the Legion 5i has a i7-10750H processor, is this a lot more powerful than the i7-9750H? And the 5i 15 don't include Microsoft Office.

2) Also, do you have to be a CIMB customer to use the LENXCIMB promo code?

1. Main reason is Y540 don't have 144Hz for customization anymore
2. According to some previous buyers, other bank card also will work, not sure why
