Thanks for the suggestion.

How is the built quality of acer swift 3 54A3?
Is the battery life ok? Can last for roughly 4 to 6hrs?

PUBG needs decent GPU

Prefer gaming laptop or regular laptop?
Build quality is decent, nothing special. Battery life is good. Depends on your usage

May I know thinkbook 14s 20RM003LMJ also has high sRGB IPS display or just 13s model?

13s high sRGB, 14s low sRGB, sorry for the confusion

What do you mean most vivobooks are mediocre? I think they are great value laptops. no?

Chassis rigidity used to be bad but the new models are ok. However Asus tend to have poor QC+QA. Crappy cooling solution in the new A409/A509/A412/A512. Small battery capacity.

Good value doesn't mean good lol. S431/S531 is the only decent Vivobook I'll consider, however prices aren't cheap and there are other alternatives

Actually PUBG requires both decent CPU and GPU

The only issues is that if he needs an ultraportable with a decent CPU, he'll have to pay 2-3x over for a 'slim' gaming laptop with a 9300H/9750H

Of course, the ultraportability also comes with issues such as thermal throttling

Normal ultraportables tend to have ULV CPUs which makes it not good for games, and the cooling might be sufficient for that load too

1. Budget : 1500

2. Usage : words, ppt, movie, connection with projector

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : lightweight, durable battery

suggest upping budget to at least 2k if you want a new but decent model

Let's just say I don't mind sacrificing PUBG. So regular laptop with a good build quality and excellent display. I multi-task a lot also.

By 'excellent display' you mean high sRGB? There aren't many 15 inch regular laptops with high sRGB display fyi

1. Budget : 2000+-

2. Usage : internet+ ms excel

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : as cheap as possible
