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.

1. Budget : below 3k, prefer withing 2.5k 2. Usage : work and entertainment, heavy on Microsoft office 3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : - size 14 inch or above - longer battery life - lightweight if possible <2kg - need to able handle multi window of Microsoft cz last laptop open few excel, ppt file then it crashed and hang.
You may want to wait for these (Thinkpad L14/15) being released ... load up the RAM to at least 32GB (16GBx2)

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...

Requirements: -16in, at least fhd (colour accuracy is crucial for me) - less than 2kg - good after sales service - 16 Gb ram - 512 gb to 2 TB ssd - battery life the longer the better - what graphic card would you suggest?
the new XPS 17... but you may need to add another 2k...

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.
Go Ham (for the Bee's knees).... Dell XPS 17 w i9, 64GB, GTX2060, 4k

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...

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.
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
