Since it's for engineering studies I would suggest getting something with good CPU performance (I don't know what programs you'll be using though). You prefer non gaming laptop more?

Can i requested intro spec gaming and non gaming laptop. Then will go through to decide. Sorry for the trouble.

Kindly suggest for me.. there are so many models don't know which to choose.

Budget:3-4K
Usage: Office use, Autocad
Display: 14" or less
Weight: As light as possible <2KG, need to carry laptop with me most of the time.
Prefer Lenovo brand

Non gaming:
Lenovo Thinkbook 15 customize (10210U, 8GB, 500GB, IPS, 57Wh, AX WIFI - upgrade SSD later): apply code LENXCIMB
Lenovo Thinkpad E595 customize (3500U, 8GB, 500GB, IPS - upgrade SSD later)
Huawei Matebook D 15
(there aren't many decent 15 inch non gaming options tbh)

Gaming:
Lenovo Legion 5 AMD customize (4600H, 16GB, 256+256GB, 1650, 80Wh): apply code LENXCIMB
Able to wait further or need the laptop now?

Ok will look into all this. Thank again for the help.

I can wait like 2-4 weeks. Anything in your mind?

Regarding on the swift 3 ryzen model
Right now malaysia set is only comes with ryzen 5 4500U
Can that be upgradeable to ryzen 7 4700U?

I already have a desktop for gaming and video editing
Buying a laptop so i can bring it along when i go travel or go outside
Main thing i will be using would be
-Lightweight work (words, excel, etc)
-Watching video (Netflix, YT, etc)
-Medium weight Tab Browsing (I Might run quite a number of tab, few are quite extensive as the data are updated every few minutes ) - can this laptop handle? -Will upgrade to 16GB likely
-Video rendering - this part i am not really sure, as cpu were fine, but not sure about gpu, then i am not sure will it reduce the lifetime of it if i do much rendering

Kindly help
The main reason why i go for Swift 3 is mainly because it seems very light, previously my laptop are kinda bulky
Or suggest me any lightweight, ryzen preferably (price and cost effective)

Thanks!

Was going to suggest Thinkpad with Ryzen 4000 but no idea when they will be available. The current (old) Thinkpads all have inflated prices so not sure whether you want to buy it now
Swift 3 SF314-42 still don't have 4700U model. 99% laptops have soldered CPU, same with Swift 3

Note that not all models have upgradeable RAM, including this Swift 3

Are you able to wait further?

Yeap, i am not rush getting it
Gotta make more research before buying as i wanted to use it long term

Or 100% of ultraportables have soldered on CPU

2-3kg
7-8 hours?

HI can help me to choose between this 2?need some suggestion.thx. sometime used for gaming.

Someone recommend me Illegear IONIC 14. Is it good?

laptops w AMD's 3200U will be much better...

Maybe you should wait for laptops w AMD's 4300U CPU....

ask again when you really need a laptop
Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

Also, able to wait longer?
for low budget, go for used/refurb business laptops with at least 1 yr warranty
decent, the 25w GPU is a selling point

Has only Single-channel SODIMM

Hi!

Need recommendation for a laptop for seniors, budget no more than rm800

- mainly for office work

- no concern about the battery life

Any brand will do?
