1. Budget: Below RM5.5K (but if need to add some money for huge performance increment/fulfill more requirements, then let me know too!)

2. Usage:
-Medium settings on AAA games
-High settings on less-demanding games like Overwatch, DoTA
-Video editing such as Premiere, with little bit of After Effects (It does not need to have super high RGB accuracy)
-Programming/coding

3. Requirements:
-Light weight, hope to be no more than 2kg (Not sure with this budget or with my usage, I could demand for this or not)
-Decent battery life
-At least have a 128GB SSD for fast boot
-Comes with Windows 10

Thank you.

I hope I could get something to last between 5-6 hours doing medium load but not sure if this is realistic for this price range.

For thin/light, how much do I need to increase to get to that tier?

I'm actually going to bring this overseas to use for a long period of time, will these local brands be a problem in terms of service if I have issues when I'm overseas?

Hello, would appreciate some recommendations.

1. Budget: Below RM6K (but if need to add some money for huge performance increment/fulfill more requirements, then let me know too!)

2. Usage:
-Medium/decent settings on AAA games
-Video editing such as Adobe Premiere, with little bit of After Effects (Would appreciate good sRGB but not extremely important)
-Programming/coding (Android Studio)

3. Requirements:
-Weight AT LEAST less than 2.4kg (like similar to Lenovo Ideapad Y700, but lighter than that please)
-Decent battery life (I expect to plug in at all times anyway, but looking for something that can last maybe from 9am - 5pm doing light/medium work e.g. programming or 1-2 hours of watching videos)
-At least have a 128GB SSD for fast boot (let me know for 256GB SSD upgrade options too)
-I don't need upgradable RAM, but please let me know options for 8GB and 16GB
-Comes with Windows 10

Thank you.

Please provide options for both can wait and current available ones. If the options are worth the wait, I don't mind.

Battery life I already expect to plug in charger all the time anyway, but do you mind elaborate what do you mean by 'sacrifice', like maybe 5 hours running on battery even when doing light work?

I am looking at Lenovo Legion Y540. Do you think it's worth to look at Y740 too? May I know the differences?

Also, are the newer laptops worth the wait? May I know approximately when will they arrive?

Thanks for your help, I'll look into it.

One more thing, if I get the Y540: (considering price to performance ratio)

1) Should I get the i5 or i7?
2) Should I get a 60Hz or 144Hz display?
3) Should I get the GTX1650 or GTX1660Ti?

Edit: additional question
