QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jun 8 2020, 01:03 PM) May I know what games you'll be playing? Prefer gaming or non gaming laptop? Need high sRGB / colour accurate display? Dota, sims 4 - but the specs for the game smoothness can be set at lowest priority Non gaming laptop Moderate colour display is fine

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jun 8 2020, 06:33 PM) For your usage I think 8GB with upgradeable slot / 16GB non upgradeable RAM would be better Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i customize (code LENXCIMB) -i5-1035G1 (not a good CPU for heavy workload TBH), 16GB, 1TB+128GB, 300nits IPS, MX330, backlit kb, 57Wh battery, AX WIFI Lenovo Ideapad S540-15IML 81NG0068MJ / 69MJ +RAM thank you!! Is there any other options for heavy workload? I am just afraid it will lag whenever i use Autocad what do you also think of Asus Vivobook A512FL? I had been eyeing on this laptop actually https://www.asus.com/my/Laptops/ASUS-VivoBo...specifications/

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jun 8 2020, 09:36 PM) you're welcome gaming laptops avoid A512 at all costs any reason to avoid A512? I somehow like the wide screen feature. not taking gaming into consideration, is there any other laptops you would recommend with similar specs like A512?
