Thinkpad P/T/X series, Latitude, Elitebook
not from what I noticed
There's no fixed time cycle

Honestly I can't give you a time frame until new releases are available
min how many hours?
Consider business laptops, however they are a bit overpriced right now...

Not so much, mostly going to be gaming at home, but still need the portability as and when necessary.

Hi Sifus,

I am looking for 17inch laptop.
Main purpose for 3A gaming, video editing and office work.
Am looking at the illegear Selenite Pro
But my friend recommended me to get other brand like Dell or Asus.
Budget around 9k.

Is it necessary to get 32gb ram?

Maybe up to 3600 if can delay my purchase by a month or so

what is disadvantage soldered ram ?

Able to up budget by a bit?
I think a 1660Ti GPU should be more than enough for your games. Consider these under/around RM4.5k:
Lenovo Legion 5i 15 / 17 customize (i7+1660Ti): apply code LENXCIMB
Level51 Forge 15R
Commandos Glock 5 Ace G2
No preferences on weight and battery life?

32GB RAM is only useful for certain tasks
Legion 5 AMD / 5i / 5Pi customize, apply code LENXCIMB
If the soldered RAM failed after warranty, the repair is troublesome

Coming soon:

Rather upgradability (capacity/speed) ... RAMs rarely fails...

Not really, am working abroad.

Actually think to build desktop, but if i back to Malaysia for vacation then i cant use it.

For video editing and photo editing, i think better go for 32gb ram?

32GB RAM then if you worry 16GB RAM not enough

Consider Illegear Selenite G, or Selenite Pro if you want something thinner+lighter+membrane keys

Yea i think that will be the only choice for now?

Been went through the threads of Illegear Selenite and found some problems, if I stayed long term abroad then will be a trouble to me if any problem occurred
