Illegear IONIC is the cheapest laptop with 92Wh battery, srgb 100% display and magnesium alloy body in the market for now.

What disadvantage for 4k? I spend most of my time watching videos, spreadsheet, reading PDF etc. It has more value to me than gaming.

Because he never own a 4k display laptop / Monitor, thus he has to said so , biggrin.gif

Hi Sifus of LYN

would like to get an opinion on Dell Factory Outlet,
whether is it reliable to purchase from there? found out regarding DFO when lurking around the forums here few days back, and am quite interested in the models below
being a factory refurbished unit, with 1 year premium support:onsite service, looks like quite a good price

user posted image

is it recommended to make purchases from DFO?
and is it better to go with 10th gen Intel i5 like this, or get the honor magicbook, or wait for more 4000 series ryzen equipped laptops to come?
mainly used for office work, media consumption on streaming platforms, light gaming if possible (diablo 3). mainly looking for battery life >6hr. Using a chuwi lapbook SE at the moment, so any new models will be an upgrade..

another alternative available now is the new Swift 3.. but having some reservations regarding the display...
*
Buying DFO unit is like gamble your luck, sometimes those units had a lot of hidden problem ( example freeze suddenly even the unit with ssd , one of the port USB malfunction ) and so on

Even the best doesn't come close

Hello sifu, would like a laptop recommendation.

1. Budget : RM3-4k
2. Usage  : Gaming (mainly CSGO) and uni work mainly
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
Display size (prefer 17 inch if possiblem but if it's too much of a compromise then 15inch should be good), battery should be okay for some uni classes as well

Thank you!

For video editing and photo editing, i think better go for 32gb ram?

Agreed with you, just the specs didn't meet my requirements and need to top up more budget.
Because prefer bigger monitor and screen (:
Yeah, illegear match most of my needs now, price is reasonable compared to those big brands. Just worried about the warranty and repairing issues as my friend warned me.
I checked Shopee price around 9~12k, but this is 2070 not 2070Super
I am also eyeing on them, already released in malaysia?

if want super , can consider the rtx 2080 super much better la , for what take 2070 super ? biggrin.gif

Should I get a Level 51 FORGE-15R 1660 TI EDITION(RM3899) or Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-52Z1(RM3799)?
The level 51 laptop has gtx1660ti 6gb gddr6 gpu but only has 120hz display and amd ryzen 3 3300x cpu.

The acer laptop has 144hz display and intel i5 10300H cpu but only has gtx1650ti 4gb gddr6 gpu.

Which do you think has better value for its price?
*
wait for Acer Nitro with Ryzen 4000

not fitting requirement: 14inch, 94%sRGB...

Perhaps G15 w the 240Hz, 100%sRGB panel instead (panel option perhaps not exported to Mal.).
