Hi, sifus!

I'm looking for a laptop for my foundation and degree studies. Course for the degree is probably engineering or computer science. The laptop should've no problem to be used in South Korea since I will further my studies there. So the laptop should be last for 5-6 years

1. Budget : 3k - 4k
2. Usage: Mainly university usage, Microsoft office, engineering and programming applications, video editing (I love to edit video), watching movies. (Gaming are not so important, I rarely play games but some of the game that I play are Paladins and CSGO)
3. Requirements:
Display: Maybe around 14-16 inch?
Weight: Preferable lightweight
Battery: Long last
Storage: Bigger is better I think because im still not familiar with cloud storage.
But I also would love a fast laptop ... dilemma..

p/s: I'm attracted to Macbook Pro because of this thread: https://twitter.com/omarqe/status/1111466602766036993 (maybe you could find some info why Im attracted to it?)
but I think it is pricey for me.

Thank you very much!! biggrin.gif

Which engineering programs you'll be using? (if you know any)

Max weight in kg? Min battery life in hours?

I don't know about the engineering programs yet,
something that related to robotic engineering?
maybe autoCad too.

The lighter weight the better, I've been carrying 3kg bagpack since f1 till f5, it's not really a problem.
Battery hours can be used from morning to evening maybe from 9-5 (if any).

I would strongly suggest either sacrificing weight or battery life a little for a gaming laptop due to more powerful specs

Legion 5 customize: apply code LENXCIMB (RM4032.20)
R7-4800H, GTX1650, 16GB RAM, 512GB/1TB SSD (first storage, can add SSD in second M.2 slot later), 300nits 60Hz, 80Wh battery

R5-4600H is also fine if you want to save some money

Is it legion 5 15 customize?

Is ur recommendation for storage is 512GB SSD + 512GB SSD (since second slot cannot be 0?) or is it I pick dummy hard for first slot and second slot is 1tb ssd?)

If I want to save some money, should I go with

-R7-4800H, GTX1650, 16GB Ram, 1TB HDD + 512GB SSD, 300 nits 60hz, 60wh battery(RM3872)
or
-R5-4600H, GTX1650, 16GB Ram, 1TB HDD+1TB SSD, 300 nits 60hz, 60wh battery (RM3816)

which one is better for performance?
