Acer Swift 3 SF314-57-50TR / 5549 / 57E3

For your usage, Intel or AMD doesn't matter anymore (of course Ryzen 4000 is a better package overall)

Ryzen 4000: Much better multi core performance, better efficiency (thus slightly better battery life), better iGPU

For your usage would suggest Ryzen over Comet Lake

consider Legion 5 AMD customize (apply code LENXCIMB)

Which models?

Established brands usually has better QC (doesn't mean that it will not have issues), also Lenovo has onsite warranty, W10 activated.

No decent model at this price range (gaming)

TBH Asus laptop quality has slipped nowadays

Anything in dell that about the same spec and 2 in 1 like lenovo ideapad flex 5. Saw new Dell Inspiron 14 2in1 7000 series AMD version, will dell bring this in malaysia soon? I can upgrade my budget, the ram upgradeable to 32gb also.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R5UP/R3AS +RAM, need to add HDD yourself

Get a cheap yet decent 1660Ti/2060 laptop, then the rest for gaming+work desktop

Was going to suggest this but considering the P73 don't have good thermals...hopefully this one has decent thermals

consider Legion 5i / 5Pi customize, apply code LENXCIMB

Besides the Lenovo brand Legion series, is there any other brand do you recommend? Such as ASUS, MSI or others?

As long as it can does some multimedia design jobs and playing games like Battlefield, GTA5, StarWars BattleFront2, etc. are ok for me.

Thanks for your recommendations again ya smile.gif

Ryzen 4000 is still new and not much options to choose from. No idea when Dell will bring in this model

Note that not all laptops have upgradeable RAM

LENXCIMB code is still valid, however Lenovo website is having a bug currently (cannot apply coupons)
