1. Budget : Around RM4K-RM6K
2. Usage : Gaming mainly, like The Witcher 3, Code Vein, FIFA series...
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Not too concern about the weight and battery life, display 144hz, RAM 16GB, hard disc at least 512GB SSD and had option to add one more hard disc, and good thermal.

Yes, rumors and confirmed news
Is the confirmed one Asus and Lenovo laptop? I know these two brands had introduced new laptops with AMD processors, but I dunno how good is the cooling...

Anyway, if I am urgent, any laptop you will recommend? (Just get some suggestion for backup plan, in case I suddenly need to buy a new one)

I just list down a few here
Ryzen 4000: Tongfang GK5-0 / GK7-R, Legion 5, HP Omen. So far
Intel 10th gen: Legion 7 / 5Pi / 5i

So far the new Legions aldy got reviews, thermals improved compared to Y540 / Y740

If you really want to buy now, can consider these with 2060 GPU:
Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-794X
Illegear Rogue
Lenovo Legion Y540 customize (i7,2060,144Hz; apply code LENXCIMB)
Ok, are those upcoming laptops comes with the new refreshed 2060? (115w)

And also for the Acer Predator Helios 300 and Lenovo Legion Y540 customize, are they come with old 2060 or the new one? I already know Illegear Rogue comes with the old one since they already stated there clearly.

from 80-115w, depending on model

Helios 300 has 80w 2060 (Turbo mode will apply OC), Y540 has 85w 2060
Ok thanks, was preferring the new 2060 since I am planning to use it within few years...

actually there's not much different between old 2060 and new 2060 if capped at same TGP / power budget
*
Err example if both at 90W the performance not much different, is that what you mean? If like that then for what purpose Nvidia announced the new/refreshed 2060?

Yes

Just a refresh with slight downgrade+slight upgrade specs and allows TGP up to 115W (previously only Tongfang did that)

Oh like that, but I heard that the old 2060 might having graphic issues with the DLSS2.0 and the ray tracing, was that been fixed in the latest drivers? If yes then I may no need to eye on the refreshed version....

Ok never mind, thanks for answering my many questions biggrin.gif . Still waiting for your update for the recommendation thread though. Are you plan to come out with review once Lenovo Malaysia announce the new Legion laptop?

You mean review on Legion laptops? Unless I got one, I wouldn't be able to do it

If you're curious about thermals of each model, I have compile all the data info an Excel file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ifsxRRnARf...iew?usp=sharing

Ya the Legion Laptops. Need to know if the new one can handle the thermal well with 2060 and Ryzen or not.

Thanks for the document, it does simplify a lot. Any plan to add in other model once you can get one to test?
