If the soldered RAM failed after warranty, the repair is troublesome

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

Hi Sifus, Same price point for Acer Nitro 5 (intel 10th gen) and ASUS tuf gaming a15 (AMD 4600H), which one would you guys recommend?
*
Strictly gaming w the GPU being the same Intel wins (assuming the 4 core 10300H)... Almost anything else AMD wins but the A15 runs hot for being choked for air.

I’m a light gamer I’d say haha, so proceed with AMD (A15) would be a better option?

Ya saw some retailer brought it the 1650 and 1650ti version. Price wise is 3499 and 3799..
Was wondering if the Ti is worth the RM 300 price difference?
*
You'll be the judge... is RM300 worth around 5fps...

A15 not okay?
Usage: mainly on CAD software & Microsoft Office. Light game
Battery life: hopefully to reach 5 hours without plug

With higher power GPU....A15 overheats...

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

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

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.

Honestly for such high budget I also dk which one to recommend, lol. If you want to buy now, can consider Illegear Selenite G / Pro

For such high price only 2060MQ...would consider other options

Razer Blade Pro 17, 4k@120Hz...

If I were to go with this option, how would I go about getting it? I know Razer's Asia Pacific store doesn't carry it.

This maybe a more flexible option in terms of warranty/support/availability...The new Thinkpad P17... a draw back would be the weight: 3.5kg:

It's not a looker though....

But I got BAD experiences with Acer and Lenovo. Must I choose them? Am not really up to date with latest specs and brand nowadays coz my last purchase was 5 years ago.

My preference not good is it?

Shortlisted candidates:

1. HP 14 CE3047TX (i7-1065G7,8gb RAM, 512gb SSD, NVIDIA mx250)
2. Dell Vostro V5490 (i7-10510U,8gb RAM, 512gb SSD, NVIDIA mx250)

These two I meant
*
Anecdotal experiences should not limit your evaluation of product being offered....every manufacturer produce lemons every now and then...

Reviews give a short preview...no one could really predict long term...

Case point: I've a lenovo laptop that the outer casing disintegrated in 2 years...I'm on my 3rd lenovo laptop order even after that.... It does colour my decision to go to metal casing if there's a choice...

Choices: You could go w HP Envy x360 w Renoir 4500U or 4700U.... Similarly w Dell Inspiron 7000 series (2 in 1) w the same Renoir CPUs...

^these 2 in 1... should offer stylus that facilitates note taking during classes
