No brand is reliable

Mind non-upgradeable 8GB RAM? Need decent dGPU/iGPU and high sRGB display?

Thanks bro.

I just configured both Illegear below:

Onyx Lite (RM5.4k)
i7-8750
mechanical keyboard
GTX 1060
1.95kg | 18.5mm

Prodigy (RM5.5k)
i7-9750
membrane keyboard
GTX 1660
1.75kg | 19.9mm


Both have pros n cons. might have to visit the showroom to decide between the two lol

Hmm, 8GB RAM is good enough, so upgradable or not is not an issue.. Prefer to have good display such that video/drama quality can be better.. Perhaps dGPU is better for me, but if iGPU can support light gaming, and ok video quality then is okay to me.. Thx

Lenovo Ideapad S540-14IWL - all the listings in lazada, shopee only got model with fhd 250 nits, 45% srgb which is crappy screen

in lenovo website, said that up to 300 nits, 100% srgb screen but no button to buy

any suggestions? thin and light, at least nvidia mx250 (prefer full-power mx250), 8gb ram, metal body no plastic

acer swift 3 is near perfect for my usage but too bad nvidia mx250 is crippled version

Prodigy runs hot, would go for Onyx Lite despite lower specs - I would get good cooling rather than better specs
What games?
S540-14API Malaysia model only low sRGB - high sRGB panel not available here. BTW why not buy from Lenovo website - 28% discount

Budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life? Mind 8GB non-upgradeable RAM?

Mind you, metal body doesn't 100% mean good build quality, plastic doesn't 100% mean bad build quality

Can anyone recommend a laptop for premier pro Video editing, and photoshop use

Wanna hav fast rendering speed, 14-15 screen size, not exceed 2.5 kg,

budget RM9k.

Hi guys,
Need opinion


1. Budget : below 2k
2. Usage : light office use,browsing
3. Requirements small, long battery life, very light weight

I will carry it with me all the time

Ty

Didn't play any PC games recently, maybe those old gen Dota??

No preference on battery life?
Suggest upping budget to 2.5k

How long battery life? How light weight? Give range in hours and kg
Then Intel iGPU is OK

Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 Intel 81BV000BMJ / CMJ
Acer Spin 5 SP513-53N-52HJ, SP513-52N-58QD
Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-54A3/5699, SF314-55G-50AN / 50YA, SF314-55G-547H

More than 6hours
Around 1kg

Ty

I recommend models not brands
Mediocre model
1kg? For your budget there isn't such model

I actually aim for surface go
Just wanna know if can have other options within my requirements

Surface is anti-consumer product fyi

For your budget I don't think there is a decent option for your requirements

I came across following that likely meet my requirements, but dunnoe if they can beat those swift model

1. Vivobook K403FA i3 / i5
2. Vivobook 15 A411UN
3. Vivobook A412FL
4. Vivobook S14 S430UN
5. Zenbook 13 UX331FAL

Sorry...but what do you mean by anti consumer?

If you see these models are in my regular laptop list then they are fine. But mind you - Asus laptops have poor QC+QA and warranty compared to other competitors
Everything glued together, all soldered parts even storage, issues pop out after a few months usage due to poor QC+QA, questionable after sales. Can throw away if anything goes wrong - that is why Surface is not in my regular laptop list

I didnt really read the old threads, but do you mean these models are ok just QC and warranty may not be?? Any reason?? I thought they will come onsite service?? Sorry, long time no change laptop, last purchase is asus but years ago

It's a fairly new thread lol - pinned at first page

You might get a good unit or a lemon (their QC is very inconsistent now) - and if you get a lemon (either with issues out of the box or after several months/a year usage), good luck with Asus warranty. No onsite for Asus. They used to be good - but 'used to be'
