hey guys i need a laptop for study in foundation in computing and for gaming , any suggestion as i am not that familiar with laptop thing .

any preferences on weight and battery life?

predator helios 300 i7+ RTX 2060

Do not consider anything without onsite warranty.
You're using your laptop for studies, that 1 business day onsite repair is really important

ASUS/AORUS(Gigabyte)/MSI and some others does not carry onsite warranty

doesnt have any preference but the longer the battery life is better

doesnt know this is a thing lol, any suggestion o which laptop i should go for?

Lenovo Legion 5

Only Dell (Alienware), HP, Lenovo & Acer carry onsite warranty
*Illegear doesn't count as they only cover Klang Valley

With Onsite Warranty:
Technician will go to your place to replace the damaged part on the next working day

Without Onsite Warranty:
You have to send your laptop back to the service center and wait between 14 - 30 working days depending on part availability

Legion 5 customize then (code GIVINGUP), can select 80Wh battery

Usually gaming laptops do not look at the volume of the battery, LOL. I recommend Acer Predator Helios 300

well i am considering this laptop but any store near me doesn't have any stock of i7 version , will the i5 version do the trick?

any difference with this laptop with helios 300 ?

what kind of differences you want to know?

maybe performance?cause i gonna use this laptop for really long time so i must choose wisely

if you want to use it for long term.. better go for the i7 one..
Anyway, I just bought the i7 version last Thursday.. Searched the whole lowyat plaza and only managed to find and purchase the last unit in a store..(probably last unit in the whole plaza too)

I like either of these, regret not getting instead of Raven SE:

https://store.illegear.com/prodigy-rogue-se...ar-prodigy.html

https://store.illegear.com/prodigy-rogue-se...ogue-ryzen.html (with the RTX option)

Legion 5 then, 8 cores 4800H and 115w 2060

amd ryzen,7 one ? and should i upgrade the ram to 16 gb and memory to 1 tb?

damn i searched in every store nearby me also doesn't have i7 version , if i order the i7 version from official store ,how long i have to wait

16GB definitely

for storage it depends on your personal usage: dual SSD for 80Wh battery, HDD+SSD for bulk storage

I think you should get something from decent brands with reliable warranty service like the Dell Asus MSI Acer since you're studying and dont really have time to deal with anything that can cause you to not have a working computer

Depends on stock availability
But if you choose customization, definitely gonna need between 2 - 4 weeks

Yes, there are many generations of i5 processors.

For your budget, an i5 or i7 will do the trick. There's many good brands with good specs such as MSI, ASUS and ACER. Don't go for Lenovo though.

why not Lenovo?

Yeah, why? I saw threads many using lenovo legions

try level51

specs very good for the price

Asus gaming laptop sucks, don't trust that newbie

Go asus tuf



*Personal Suggestion: go legion, because legion give the best value in Malaysia market. Exp: Acer only provide 45% ntsc, legion provide 72% ntsc. TLDR, still depend on yourself too, maybe you don't like lenovo then just go for your favourite brand.

Well if TS is interested i'm letting go my Legion 7i with RTX2060 at near your price range.
Will be upgrading to the same Legion 7i but with RTX 2070smq instead

10 th gen i5

any recommendation ? cause i am seeing acer predator helios 300 with i5 version , but the fan sound and battery life make me think twice about buying this laptop 😂

okok, i considered tuf a15 for the price and specs but after doing some research , i heard so many negative review about it

your budget?

try these 2 lines from Acer

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-53-77CF

Acer Predator Triton 300

get acer predator helios 300. their after-sales service has improved

Have you searched for online platforms such as Shopee or Lazada?

I found one here: https://shopee.com.my/LAPTOP-GAMING-ACER-PR...8879.6962129418

I bought mine on Lazada and they even have interest free instalment. Delivery is pretty fast too. Quite a reliable source to buy thru preferred seller online at these platform.

That's 1k+ more expensive than Legion 5 15 AMD, which has better spec (mostly). Check out the spec below.
