Does low sRGB mean lower range of colours and will be less vibrant?
*
Yes
QUOTE(maiyskitty @ Jun 23 2020, 08:51 PM)
if no choice then will consider.. Most basic one also need 2k?

Btw, is Microsoft Surface suitable for photoshop ?

If you can accept near 2.3kg, Legion 5 / 5i / 5Pi with 80Wh battery and 100%sRGB display

If you cannot wait long, can consider Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-52Z1 but battery life is nothing special

not fitting requirement: 14inch, 94%sRGB...

Perhaps G15 w the 240Hz, 100%sRGB panel instead (panel option perhaps not exported to Mal.).

Alternative, ~2.1kg: Illegear Onyx G
Slightly over budget, 2.1-2.2kg: MSI GS66 10SE-076

New Laptop Needed. Work & Play.

1. Budget: RM12000 - RM17000
2. Usage: (In order of priority) After Effects, Da Vinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Path of Exile, OW, Valorant, CODMW, Anno 1880, and some double-A to triple-A titles.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight, etc): Thunderbolt 3 (if possible), 17"

Can't tell if AMD 4000 series with weaker GPU or Intel 10th Gen with stronger GPU better for my usage.

Generally on the go. Don't want to bring files from home to office, vice versa etc. Not sure if that is a valid reason haha. sweat.gif
