Budget is 4k, can stretch a bit. Wait time... probably within a few weeks? Not something like a few months. How's Lenovo mainsite? If I get the Ideapad gaming 3 from them directly?

What would be a good price point for the HP Victus? Also, is buying directly from Lenovo offiical site slow to deliver?

erm would say 3.8k or below?

yes since many of them are customized and ship from china, also considering parts shortages happening nowadays

Hi there. Need some recommendation which laptop to buy. I need one for my daughter for her PDPR. I gather from this thread and the previous version, that there's no decent model for sub 2k, so I wonder if sifu's could tell tell me better model for price 2-3k

Need it for PDPR only. She's not into gaming but she likes picture editing sometimes video. Battery life not that important for now. Any screen size would be ok.

Waiting time is 1 month max if its worth it. Thanx
*
i assume u need it now and cannot wait? fine with 8GB non upgradeable RAM?
QUOTE(ultralightbing @ Sep 30 2021, 05:04 PM)
Current one is 15.6in also. Don't see why not.
*
can take a look at ideapad gaming 3 2021
QUOTE(kankung123 @ Sep 30 2021, 06:59 PM)
Budget: Below 6k
Usage: School, work, and playing some games on weekends (GTA V, Ark Survival Evolved, CS go, League etc.)
Wait time: Doesn't matter
Size: 14 inch and above
Weight: Below 2kg
Battery Life: Preferably good battery life (Above 5 hours light usage like browsing etc.)
Power: CPU at least 6 cores, GPU anything above a 1660ti should suffice
*
Zephyrus G14 if u really need smaller footprint and lighter weight, try to find the previous gen model with 1660Ti MQ or 2060MQ

I don't mind waiting up to a month. Non upgradable is ok. But it would be great if you can let me know which laptop I should go for if I don't mind waiting longer-perhaps 2-3months
Thanx

looking at what u wrote i think is better to buy now

can consider Magicbook 14 AMD 512GB
QUOTE(ultralightbing @ Oct 1 2021, 12:11 AM)
Thanks for the suggestion. Angmo reviews say not really able to run modern titles like Cyberpunk. Can consider, but any others, just for comparison?
*
if want run higher settings on cyberpunk then increase budget for better GPU...even 3050 also won't run smooth unless u use super low settings or DLSS

Finding a laptop to bring to Australia for the first few months, need it to survive quarantine and first few months there

1. Budget : Around 3k/3k-ish will be best, but ok to go beyond if the display is beautiful enough (I don't think can get any IPS screens at this level kan, it's okay)
2. Usage : General usage, music, videos, absolutely 0 gaming at all
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Whenever possible, to have the best screen/sound quality, lightweight, and have good battery life as possibly can at this price range

Edited to up budget abit, to 3k/3k-ih
*
got IPS but many models have low sRGB

sound quality in most laptops are average, suggest using external solution

wait time? or urgent?

Hi, need recommendation for laptop...

1. Budget: Below 3k, can stretch up to max 3.8k if worth

2. Usage: For exam (need Microsoft Excel + view file in pdf), web-browsing (multiple tabs at a time), watch videos/dramas, 0 gaming for now

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc):
- Long-life (important, plan to use for long time), cannot tolerate laptop that heats up fast
- Must be able to use wifi 6, bluetooth, mic & webcam
- Best to have numpad for exam, good screen & sound quality for video/drama
- RAM: Preferably 16GB, min 8GB
- Battery life & weight: Flexible, but preferably good battery life & light weight (mainly use at home, seldom bring it around - maybe once a month)
- Screen size: 13 inch to 15.6 inch
- Wait time: Best to get by end of Oct2021, latest by end of Dec2021

If possible, can I have a few options to consider...?
BIGGG thanks!

a) Camera issue;
b) Poor customer service;
c) Slow delivery which could take up to 16 weeks!
*
1. Most laptop built in camera sucks
2. Their onsite is ok though nothing spectacular, better than having carry in
3. Delivery time depends on model, if u can't wait long then don't buy (the first few estimated dates are placeholder dates in the system so no need to take it seriously)

Waiting time not an issue, MUST be NEW, no refurbish, i bought refurbish with fellow LYN here before. Regret like shyt.

Weight = not transporting around much so its okay.

Battery life = at least 3 hours +- without charging maybe...?

feel free to change the specs, note that price is with coupon
