Hi ZM Fong. can you suggest me the best model based on my requirement?

1. Budget : below 5k
2. Usage : MS Office, Chrome Multi-tab Browsing, Movies and Light Gaming
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
-14 inch or 15.6 inch
-sRGB Display; as long as the screen is gorgeous
-Latest processor intel 8th or 9th gen
-Upgradeable RAM
-SSD
-Dont care about battery life
-Weight less than 2.2kg
-Prefer an ultrabook but if gaming laptop fitted in my budget, why not

Before i read this thread, i was considering to buy Asus Zenbook 14 because of its gorgeous look, slim, small size, bezel-less display, lightweight, and amazing screen. But you said that Asus now is bad in QA and QC, now i'm doubting to buy it. Can you please suggest the best laptop model that fit with my requirement? Brand with better after sale service and warranty

You might get a good unit if you want to take the gamble, who knows

High sRGB and upgradeable RAM...might want to go for gaming laptop then since you don't care much about battery life...prefer regular laptop or gaming laptop?

At 1st I just want regular ultrabook that i can carry around easily and lightweight. After someone pm suggesting Illegear Prodigy i have second thought. Already browse around the illegear web and found that i like. Prodigy and Raven SE. They are pretty lightweight. After some customization, maybe the price will reach 5.3k but its okay la around that 5k price point. Spec also better compared to ultrabook. Which one would you choose between the prodigy and raven se? Or maybe you have other models that you have in your mind?

Prodigy has better GPU but doesn't cool so well, if you not so into gaming Raven SE would be good (need to fix CPU turbo issue)

I see. I'm not so into heavy gaming. Just some light gaming like Celeste, Stardew valley something like that, mainly will be doing works stuff. Other models that you have in mind?

Well if you prefer under 2.2kg, Illegear Raven (non SE) or Level51 Forge 15 also not bad
