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

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

wait for ryzen 6000?

wanted to suggest that if u can't wait long for delivery

if u can wait, can take a look at thinkbook 13s g3 in lenovo site - fast ship models usually take 2 weeks to arrive

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

your question is too general, should be comparing SKU (eg 6800H vs 12700H)

if u can wait a few months then wait for latest gen since they are coming soon

Budget is below 4k. I can wait for 1-2 months.

I understand that the overheating on laptop, but as long as it is not too hot until I can fell it on my palm. Any recommendation?

I wonder the 2021 Nitro 5 has any quality issue as I found many complaint about the hinge broken.

some models are hot outside but cool inside, while some are the opposite - which way do u prefer? (of course personally i will prioritize CPU+GPU temps)

if u want 3050, only entry level models available near RM4k (after adding 8GB RAM) which is a bit pricey:

1. Budget : Around 5k
2. Usage  : Office work, Gaming AAA game.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :Battery to last at least 4 hours for office work.

Going to sell my rig so looking for a laptop to replace as I'm travelling a lot so my desktop is very underustilised. Main use is for office work using microsoft suite and occasional gaming. Is it possible to get an RTX3060 Laptop with that budget? hopefully something that can last for a long time. My current laptop is too weak for gaming

Thanks in advance

if u can wait, Legion 5 R5+3060 is under RM4.7k

Requirement: don’t really have any specific requirements. Maybe with a proper camera & speaker.

if camera and audio are your priority, invest in external solutions

Preference: 15.6 inches screen, i7, 16GB ram, great battery, great cooling system (no noise), no laptop freeze lol

Preferably now. A decent screen would be nice. Its just for basic home use like browsing, youtube/netflix, light office work etc. Weight under 2kg. 13" or 14" inch would be nice but 15.6 would do just fine as well if no choice.

What are the suggestions for now vs can wait a few months?

if u need good screen u need around 3.5k budget

new cpus are coming

Hi, guys

May I know if there's a thread for 2-1 laptop? Otherwise, I'll ask here, hehe...I'm researching on those within 3-4k range preferably. No preference, although I heard Huawei D5 is quite good, aside from Dell, HP...and how I wish I can afford Surface, lol...
Did some reading on Google too, but nothing beats genuine feedbacks from forummers here, thanks in advance.

Hi ZM Fong, sorry I change my laptop requirements.

I will use laptop for long hours daily for data analysis and programming work. Not for gaming. Sometimes watch Youtube or online tutorials.

- 14inch laptop
- 16gb ram
- At least 512TB storage
- Great battery
- Great quality, can last for many years
- Budget 3-4.5k

Thanks sifu

if quality is your priority, business laptop is a decent option but most of them aren't cheap and need to wait for delivery

another alternative is to buy laptop with 3+yr warranty
