just get the Nitro 5 AN515-57-556R

FYI the Victus doesn't have 100%sRGB screen, the Nitro might have false advertising also but I can't confirm yet

Please recommend business laptop (no need dGPU) for office use, powerpoint word excel etc.

15.6 inches or 16 inches (not 17).

16 GB RAM at least (strictly no soldered).

AMD or Intel no problem.

Budget 4k.

Battery life not an issue. Build quality priority, after that weight.

Wait time 2 weeks (if got very good deal for the 2/3 months Lenovos can consider, but if its just about the same or a few hundred ringgit savings then no point).
*
fine with low sRGB panel?

Can consider, not doing colour accurate work. User is an older man though so brightness may be important (nothing under 300 nits).

if u want alternatives, either take 16GB soldered or buy models from lenovo site

1. Budget : RM2k-2.5k
2. Usage : Light gaming (ie. LoL, Apex), movies, ms office and remote work.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 15.6", 16gb ram if possible. Battery at least 2 and 1/2 hrs. At least i5 or Ryzen equivalent.

I am using it mostly for my remote work and some of the less demanding game. My current laptop is aging (5yrs and going now) and require replacement. No refurbish laptop please.

Is it me or does i5 laptop now no longer at low 2k now ?
*
either sacrifice specs or build quality

highly suggest increase budget slightly, now is 2021 so don't expect cheap prices
QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Oct 8 2021, 09:14 AM)
This one is not soldered right?

Honestly I dont really know how to check on that. My current laptop is now 5 years which is Lenovo. Previous one was Asus that lasted 4 years. I do mind good quality build, but I really have no idea on what makes a good quality build.

you don't have to check, i just asking

so u want good build?

What the best bang for buck lappy under 5k that have 3 series gc with 6gb ram ?

Nitro 5 AN515-57-556R? wouldn't call it bang for buck since it uses low TGP and no MUX

has international warranty 

built to last (maybe at least 5 years?)

international warranty is rare, are you going overseas?

also if u want a reliable laptop, u need to get business laptops which are more expensive, and most of them have weak GPU

Hello all! Thinking of getting the Thinkpad L15 Gen 2 (Intel). Wanted to ask whether it's worth upgrading the warranty from 1 year carry-in to 3 year onsite for RM356.40?

Thanks!
