1) In terms of Value, is there a reason to go for the Legion Series over the IdeaPad Series? Or are they equivalent?

2) In terms of performance, would there be a difference between a pure AMD build Vs a Hybrid Ryzen chipset with NVIDIA GPU

3) In terms of Value is there a reason to consider the 5i series as opposed to the 5 Pro? 5i seems to be out of stock. Worth waiting for it?

Hi Sifus,

Need laptop recommendation
1. Budget : 3k
2. Usage : Want to play Counter Strike GO (high priority), programming, database
3. Requirements : 14 inch only laptop and built in graphic card. Any laptop brand is okay except MSI and Acer (if possible).

Yeah, above spec quite funny. But I do really want to play Counter Strike GO šŸ˜… . If budget 3k, is it playable in high/medium setting?

Big thanks

though a bit overpriced due to being retail model, no QHD panel but better perf due to max TGP+MUX
QUOTE(kolihhan @ Nov 20 2021, 07:31 PM)
Any recommend? budget can up to 5k
*
either spend 4.2k for 3050 or 5.2k for 3060

or make sacrifices like worse perf/thermal/build

Can explain this "better perf due to max TGP+MUX"?
For the above model Legion5, what is theĀ  best price if can wait plus student discount.?
*
TGP: basically power limit for GPU, higher limit=higher clock speed=higher perf
MUX: please refer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mWies_4oDs

RM5.2k can get Legion 5 Pro, R5+3060+16G+512G, or Legion 5i i5+3060+16G+512G+165Hz

so u want 14 or 15 inch?
QUOTE(mztang52 @ Nov 23 2021, 03:40 PM)
Can't wait 1-3 months. Need it next month already.
For weight maybe less than 1.5kg or around there
Battery life at least 10 hrs
*
battery life of 10 hrs is quite difficult to get, 8 hrs is more realistic

mayb this? but GPU overkill: https://shopee.com.my/ACER-SWIFT-X-SFX14-41...489.10560192186

Hi, would like to get some advices from sifu here

1. Budget : Rm3.5k max

2. Usage  : Microsoft Office, normal surfing web, Metatrader 4, light gaming (only playing Overcooked 2)

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- Battery life as long as possible
- Lightweight (currently has a ideapad 720s, 13 inch, prefer with the same or lighter weight)
- Display largest 13 inch (prefer small size due to desk unable to fit laptop with 15 inch or higher)

Thanks in advanced notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

can wait 1-3 months delivery?
QUOTE(sukirani @ Nov 25 2021, 09:24 AM)
1. Budget : 4-5k

2. Usage  : Daily use (Netflix, YouTube, video calls), gaming (mostly indie games, okay with running AAA games at low settings), tend to have 50 chrome tabs at a same time

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Good battery life, weight around 2kg is fine. Better if there's some form of international warranty.

Moving overseas in early Jan so I can't wait for too long.
*
why don't buy at the country you're going?

choose either gaming or battery life (sacrifice GPU perf heavily - 1650 tier card)

Btw, is there any possibility that laptop A and B have same same graphic card but different GPU limit? What cause it to have different value?

Size and weight doesnt matter also

wait time? can stretch to RM5.2k?

if cannot stretch then take Nitro 5 (model AN515-57-51NV, need to add your own RAM), not great but at least passable

I went to Harvey Norman and tried the G14. It seems good and lightweight but yeah gonna take a look at Legion 5 this coming weekend. Last question for me to you, if were you Legion 5 or Asus G14?
I would like to get confirmation on the value of GPU limit (Max Q) for:
a. Asus Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7400, 11th Gen Intel) - NVIDIAĀ® GeForceĀ® RTX 3050
b. Legion 5 (15", Gen 6 ) (Phantom Blue) - Part Number:Ā  82JW0067MJ - NVIDIAĀ® GeForceĀ® RTXā„¢ 3050 4GB GDDR6
c. Legion 5i (15", Gen 6) (Phantom Blue) - Part Number:Ā  82JK0032MJ - NVIDIAĀ® GeForceĀ® RTXā„¢ 3050 4GB GDDR6
d. 2021-rog-zephyrus-g14-series - https://rog.asus.com/my/laptops/rog-zephyru...rus-g14-series/ - GA401QH - GTX1650 4GB

Last question for me to you, if were you Legion 5 or Asus G14?
*
you're comparing different categories of models now which is unfair

anyway here's the info u want:
Vivobook Pro 14X: 35-50W 3050MQ
L5/L5i: 80-95W 3050, with MUX
G14: 50W 1650

everyone has different needs so I won't answer your last question
