Ok thanks again! Will consider getting that one

any recommendation for home use, budget 3k, 16gb ram, can wait until end of year. prefer lenovo(any discount coupon) ?? tqvm in advance.

Just wanted to check - is the latest XPS 13 9305 worth the value & spec? Any recommendation with similar value for Asus/Gigabyte/MSI? thanks!

Ideapad 5i 14/15 or 5 14 customize? code LIMITEDTIME
not really

your budget? wait time?

about RM6k-6.5k. not really rush, current laptop still work fine, but been thinking for upgrade.

edit: personally prefer Intel proc. as I am quite old school, thinking that AMD proc. are power optimised/less powerful, except the top range. lol

wait for latest Thinkpad AMD?

less powerful is definitely not correct, especially in multi core

Thinkpad feels like corporate machine. I plan to run some mid-range game/app like video rendering occasionally.

yeah, been checking thread on your signature. Seems like ROG/Aorus/Zephyrus caught my attention. Any suggestion within 6-6.5k range? Best spec value.
thanks!!

business laptops usually have higher build quality

you wanted a gaming laptop? it's a completely different segment...

Newbie in thread here, is there any thread/resource I can read about higher build quality? I know from experience the 'feel' of business laptops is smoother (hinge) and sturdier for carrying around. Is that what higher build quality means, and if so how does that translate to longetivity?

Am currently using a HP Envy 13 which I'm very happy with except it can't add RAM and my current WFH requirements already maxing out my 8GB, so starting to explore again.

the material used, enforced ports, QC etc

Isn't it that ports normally more on gaming laptops? QC and material yeah I think can feel when holding the laptops.

umm usually yes, but they also bigger and thicker

what happen to the thinkpad L series in the web ?? left only 13inch.
Very happy with the thinkpad L14 and L15 that u recommend.

Wanna buy another 2 for office use and now more L series. I see u intro ideapad now ?
Is ideapad ok ? After coupon is 3.2K with i5, 16gb, 512 ssd. Didnt upgrade the display tho.

Budget: 3k-4k
wait time: urgent
battery: can last longer
usage: light Adobe usage and light gaming
screen size: no preference
Currently on my mind: Huawei Matebook 14, D14/D15, any other recommendation?

Thanks a lot for your kind help!

I guess shortages
Glad to hear

Price increased slightly recently but still ok buy, though there are other options that can be considered as well
Suggest upgrade display and metal build
since u mentioned Adobe usage, need dGPU?

I wanted to get a higher perf. laptop - not necessary gaming, but higher spec. More like a universal type and big no for business laptop, it is for my personal use.
-personal use, minimal portability (docked at home 90%), casual gaming (so prefer graphic card), casual video rendering (sony vegas), connect to VM for work (minimal use of MS office). Not desktop because need to carryout some time.
Current laptop works fine but unable to run casual gaming / video rendering anymore, quite old, and risk of latest updates not compatible. Using Gigabyte U2442.


Exactly why I am here and what I am trying to look for.. haha..

mayb wait for more TGL-H models?

anyone can confirm is the IdeaPad 5 15ITL05 come with Dual Microphone? I saw the spec, it only mention 720P HD Camera without any dual microphone wording
i chat with CS, and was informed indeed without a build in mic, and he even ask me to call 1800 to confirm
thats is really funny, with camera without build in mic ?
