Illegear Ionic 14 seems like a good option. Ionic 14 comes with 16 GB RAM (because of promotion), weighs under 1.05 kg, has a 14.0" IPS screen, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste, and still costs RM3,498 (RM3,324 cash price) with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (processor/CPU with 8 cores, 16 threads). It comes with 512 GB M.2 SSD but even with another 512 GB M.2 SSD, it costs below RM3,800.

Better to donate that money to a homeless person instead of wasting it on Illegear.
It comes with a bug that'll make your battery swollen in few months. The laptop will get power limited, even after plugging it into AC outlet. Illegear will argue it's a feature, not a bug and refuse to fix/replace anything.

Worth the price for gaming laptop budget around 3.5k?

Spec wise looks ok. Price wise goes up and up. Used to cost less than rm 3.5k. Suggest AMD ones. Intel ones may run hot and drain the battery faster, IMHO.
