ROG Strix G15 or Legion 5i 15

Which laptop have better performance and lasting ?

15"
i7-10750H
RTX 2060 6GB
16.0GB RAM

One thing, ROG laptop does not have webcam

btw is there any year end promotion ?

Go for Legion, Asus gaming laptops sucks along with their after sales service

want long lasting, get business laptops

what's your budget? how long you can wait?

Business laptop can play game?

My budget is 5k max.

Does not matter to me.

Why don't get Illegear?
Right now they are having Black Friday sales which comes with lot of freebies and discount

mostly can't, max only light games

so you can wait further?

I'm not fan of Illegear and they only support within klang valley.

I heard 11th Legion will be out mid 2020. Malaysia have to wait until 2021.

I'm not sure if I can wait until 2021. It's a very long wait if you ask me

if you want to buy now: Legion 5 customize with 2060 GPU (code GIVINGUP)

can.. but business laptop with GPU is very expensive.

Lenovo thinkpad T15g is perfect laptop, last long + high performance (2070 max-Q) but those spec is super expensive at over 7K.

Lenovo: Have onsite warranty
ASUS: Doesn't have onsite warranty

That should make your decision for you

MSI GS66 2060

The best all-rounder

can consider acer nitro or predator series though great budget lappy

I seen the shipping is 4 - 8 weeks for Legion 5 ? Really have to wait for so long?

around a month

Legion = tuf

how about this ?

Acer Predator Helios
NOTEBOOK 17.3 FULL HD
INTEL I5-10300H
8GB RAM
512GB SSD
NVIDIA RTX2060 6GB
WINDOWS 10 HOME
2 YEARS WARRANTY
144HZ REFRESH RATE

RM5,395

Not fan of predator. They often have battery issue

Which model u recommend

Legion

legion 5 with AMD

Both ok but asus release much more often than lenovo
Wonder about their support for particular laptop model due to this

I just jump wagon and buy ROG.... so far so good

If want fancy gaming laptop rog all the way. Lenovo started high end gaming laptop not too long ago. They lack of experience and dont provide good control software. They are cheaper tho.

Which model u bought?

ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733QR seem the scar series is popular this time around.... when I purchase it this is the last stock that shop have and a minute later a guy coming into the shop asking the same model..... my friend also want to buy it and now he must wait till the shop restock I guess....

How much did you buy this unit for?

RM8799.00 free backpack and rog chakram core mouse

Would buy it if they include the webcam and 1440p.

Yeah it depend on your preference... as my other laptop server as working purposes... for me gaming laptop no need webcam... and if you want the 1440p you can choose zephyrus 15 as Malaysia Asus didnt bring that option for SCAR to Malaysia....

Actually I also redeem ROG shirt, customize ROG scar armor cap and outriders game promotion...

can consider acer predator or nitro series?
Acer Predator Nitro 2021

Can have the full spec and the link you bought from?

This model no mux? Any performance penalty?

Go for Lenovo. The exhaust fan is located at the back of the screen panel. You won't feel the hot air push out. Bad experience with small and light laptop like Dell XPS. Only great for looks but the fan and heat dissipation are really bad.

I bought physically from store.... I'm no comfortable buying pricy item like this from online. Yes this model no mux. Slightly dip on fps but I don't feel much difference .
Here are the spec :

If want to compare gaming series, must compare with Dell's Alienware.

If you can wait for Acer has just revealed the Nitro 5 gaming laptop which features the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. As a pre-order promo, Acer Malaysia is offering the laptop (AN515-55-79VX) with a hefty RM500 discount, which brings the price down just under RM5,000.
