what's ur budget?

if u need it tmr then can only buy from physical shop


Flexible budget, but must have good reason. If you need number then, maybe 7k but at least 7 years durability. I got 2 shop right now for both laptops I mentioned above. Lowyat n kepong.

My Inspiron 5558 died today after 6 years of service. Coincidently, my previous Dell Studio 15 also lasted 6 years. What are the general sentiments for Dell laptop nowadays? Naturally, I am looking at Inspiron again, but it appears that those with a dedicated graphic card now starts from RM3150. Those cheaper uses UHD Graphics, not even Iris Xe.

What do you think of these Lenovo IdeaPad offering:

https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/ideapa...L6/p/82H801VNMJ

The third one has Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, which I suppose if slightly better than UHD Graphics.
I am alsp looking at other options. Some basic requirements:

Intel processor, preferably 11th gen i3 or i5
256 SSD min
15 inch display, full HD
Usage: Microsoft office, Google Meet and Zoom, video and songs, internet, no gaming, 15 hours per day
Budget: less than RM2800, can stretch to RM3000 for a good deal.

Any recommendation?

Thank you

Unfortunately those are beyond my budget.

Would the service life of the IdeaPad 3 be the same or worse than Dell Inspiron 3000?

I am actually worried with the integrated graphic. My HP ProBook 440 G7 is already giving problem after 2 years of minimal usage.

Hi sifus,

Looking for a 16 inch laptop with dedicated graphics. Budget is 5k-7k.

Brand preference is anything that gives the least issue. Heard the new Dells, Apples, and HP have many problems.

Alternatively considering cheaper 15.6 MSI laptops too, would like to know if anyone has feedback on those.

Thanks!

Hi, what's coming in 1-3 months?

Thanks yup been looking at this, Dell Inspiron 16 plus, and HP Omen 15/16. Which of the brands are most reliable now? Been 8 years since I last bought a pc so kinda out of touch.

Thanks. What about Asus btw? I think I saw good reviews on Zephyrus G15?

The laptop I want to get is for productivity(content creation) and not gaming purpose btw, hence the Inspiron 16 Plus.

Hi how is the experience so far? I suppose this is the customizable unit? The panel is the standard IPS or you upgraded it too? Any comment about it?

Hi sifus, needed rekomen for smtg quick i.e. ready stock prebuilt or within 1 week.

Budget: around 3 -3.5k
Anything decent with mx450 for the above budget?
Will mostly be casual usage but will be running android emulator hence would prefer to have upgradable ram or come with 16gb ram.
Not picky with screen as it will mostly be connected to external monitor.
Preferably to be a thin and light (13" or 14") as will be travelling occasionally. Battery life is not much of a concern too as it will be connected most of the time.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Up abit gt1650 got what model?

RTX3070 gaming laptops recommendation please. Budget below RM8k if possible, might be willing to go up to RM9k if it has god tier specs

So far my choices are MSI GP66, lenovo legion 5 pro, and illegear onyx (but trying to avoid illegear due to the many issues reported in the illegear thread)

@ZM Fong - what do you think about Gigabyte G5? Sees price/specs are fine.  Thanks!

Hi sifus, would like to ask for your recommendations on specs below:

1. Budget : around 4k or lesser
2. Usage : Mainly use to surf youtube, movies, stock exchanges, MS programs, light gaming like GTA V (dont need ultra high settings)
3. Requirements: 16 GB ram min, SSD, good display and lightweight if possible, (touch screen if can?)
4. Wait time : can range up to a couple of months.
5. Blacklist brands: Acer

preferred screen size?

budget? wait time?

every laptop can overheat if pushed to max, just that some do better than others

even with low settings GTA V still needs some decent GPU power to run smoothly

wait for ryzen 6000?

Thanks. Which discount code to use?

I just check out few Thinkpad Gen 13, few of them have "onboard ram". Does it mean have extra slot for upgrade in the future or cannot upgrade at all?

is there any comparable with HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13-be0048AU in terms of size, weight, and price? any other option can be consider?

is ryzen any better than intel ?
most of the games i like tend to drain more on CPU performance
wait time is not an issue
