ANY discount code for Lenovo legion laptop ?

Me too waiting for a big discount code. Haha

Don't think got any good one nowaday.

I need an urgent replacement for my son's laptop. What would be a good physical store in Klang Valley to get good deals for laptops? Would Harvey Norman be a good option?

Worse choices.. hp it's shitty quality.. go lowyat if u urgent

HP laptop, you get what you paid for, really. It gets the job done though. My kids are using HP for their uni/school stuff. Myself using HP for office work. Nothing fancy. You can consider HP 15-fc0082A or 83A model. Lazada sellers about RM 2.2-5k range. During sales, can get as low as RM 1.7k.

Have Acer, Asus, Dell, MSI, Lenovo laptops before and currently. Sharing my experience ya.

Any laptop with screen brightness of at least 300 nits 100% sRGB (72% NTSC), anti-glare 60Hz and above will do.

For me, DIY, I get the cheapest laptop and then upgrade (DIY) the screen to 400 nits 100% sRGB, 144 Hz. Still cost less than 2.7k. With 16 GB RAM and 2 TB disk. 15.6".

If your eyes are priority, suggest you get 300 nits at least 100%sRGB. It's miles different than those stock screen (mostly) 250 nits, VA/TN panels, 45% NTSC. Avoid glossy screen, they do look fantastic but long term use the glare will be annoying.

Hi there, looking for a new laptop to replace the old one.

1. Budget :less than 2k, cheaper the better
2. Usage : microsoft words/powerpoint, media, internet surfing, online classes, no gaming
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 15.6", decent battery life and screen quality. Want a laptop than can last me for another 5 years or more

Currently looking at these:

1. Check out HP 15S-EQ2195AU/15S-EQ2196AU/15S-EQ2197AU/R3-5300U/8GB/512GB SSD/15 [Free Backpack] at 29% off! RM1,799.00 only. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/vq2x9x8

2. Check out Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15.6" R3-7320U | 8GB RAM|512GB SSD| W11H| OFFICE H&S| 2YR WTY|82VG0036MJ-Grey 37MJ -Sand| FOC: Backpac at 31% off! RM1,592.00 only. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/uh77emd

3. Dell refurbished laptops?

4. Any other recommendations are welcome.

Thanks

Bro i newbie. Can i assume i7 is better than i5 ?
Qhd with 300 nits better than fhd 250 nits
I couldnt find the same spec at dell website. Mana boleh tengok demo unit

QHD means the more pixel in the screen..

google the model.. i oso dun hv demo..the laptop is back to back order.. 4 days delivery

I googled couldnt find. Only saw fhd one and also the graphic card is different from what u mentioned here. (At the dell website)

For laptop anything below 17", avoid QHD really. It won't do any justice to the screen size. Unless you are kiasu for pixel count then go for it. QHD and above will be more relevant for external monitor size 24" and above.

Avoid the HP 15S-EQ2195AU or the 7300x/7520x series, these unlikely to meet your long term requirements. Look for 7530U at least of the HP range or similar. IdeaPad there is 1 model with 300 nits screen, but not 100% sRGB. HP ones usually 250 nits for the budget series. Or wait for next Lazada/Shopee sale, the discount is worth it.

Hi all, I'm looking for a new laptop.

1. Budget : RM4k
2. Usage : Internet Surfing, VM (Window XP)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Light weight and battery life

Eye-ing on the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3, would like to compare others as well.

Much appreciated!
