sorry it should be thin and light only.
no preference on battery life. ram if non-upgrade 8gb should be enough i think.
for sRGB i need to look for it with my eyes first.
i just need some recommendation to start with.

Forgot to ask, fine with 14 inch and below 1.5kg?

yup, can be consider as long as light and within budget

ok thanks. So lenovo actually selling crippled product that is unable to reach the full potential?

Nah; even apple did that, LOL.

So far only those that’s experienced with desktop PC making, like Gigabyte/MSI can get thermal done right in slim system.

Below 2.5k:
Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-54A3/5699
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R0CS/R2YE +RAM
TBH this is expected considering its size and cooling design, similar to XPS 15 but better in other aspects
MSI still don't have decently cooled thin and light gaming laptop (GS line)

Hi, looking to get a new Windows laptop.

1. Budget: < RM3k (inclusive of Microsoft Office apps if possible e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint)

2. Usage: Mostly Excel & Powerpoint, internet browsing, watch videos and some light gaming i.e. mostly indie games on Steam (not planning to play Skyrim etc. on it)

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc):
- Display: 13 - 15 inch is ok; don't need super HD display as will not be doing graphic design/photo editing work
- Audio: not important as will be using headphones/external speakers most of the time
- Battery life: > 6 hours general use if possible, but not so crucial as will be plugged in most of the time
- Weight: Not fussy on weight. Can be heavier if necessary.
- Hard drive: Preferably SSD (at least 256 GB)

Not looking to upgrade specs in future. Just need something that will run smoothly for Microsoft apps, browsing and light gaming. Thanks.

3. Requirements

- battery life : No requirement
- weight : not too heavy or bulky
- Hard drive: Preferably SSD (at least 256 GB)

Planning to buy this weekend at lowyat or pj.

Need decent GPU? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

TBH there are many options available since you don't have much requirements
Max weight in kg? No preference on battery life?
Fine with 13 and 15 inch? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM? Need powerful CPU+GPU?

less than 2.5kg if possible. whats the normal battery life usage while gaming on a full charge?

You can get non thin and light under 2.5kg

While gaming? Around or less than 1 hr. Advise not gaming with battery power unless you want battery die faster

Any list of recommendations with those thin and light ones?

So while gaming I need to take out my battery and use power adapter only? or how? any tips? haha

May I know what's the max thickness (in cm) you prefer? Because some models might be 'thin and light' from your perspective but not from my perspective

Always plugged in

not sure how to describe. maybe something like illegear raven se-r or slightly thicker abit also i dont mind.

plugged in as in together with battery attached or detached?

I would suggest not getting thin and light due to more limited cooling room, you can still get a fairly portable model which isn't thin and light

best with battery disconnected but most laptops nowadays have internal battery

which are the models falls under this category?

thanks for the info.

Minimum screen size is 13 inch. Bc i have a monitor that i could connect with.

I have no issue with low sRGB display as it wont effect my work. I'm more into survey and design work for earthwork contractor.

For specs, I don't really know what to ask for. but based on my reading, to do autocad drawings, I need more ram and good cpu. Correct me if i'm wrong. I don't do any 3d autocad.

Under 2.5kg:
Lenovo Legion Y740 81HE007EMJ
Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-794X / PH315-52-76CQ
Level51 Forge 15 Pro
Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize / Y7000 SE customize, Y540 15 81SX004XMJ
So can accept 15 inch?

Preferred max weight in kg?

not too fussy about sRGB display and don't need upgreadeable RAM. happy to hear out any suggestions you have
