If the latest ideapad gaming 3 comes with the improved cooling like this one, it will be worth to consider: https://youtu.be/koCAQDcyapk

No no. The previous ideapad gaming comes with shared cpu & gpu cooling.. but in the video, seems like lenovo has improved the cooling by implementing dedicated fans and better exhaust vents. This will provide better thermal efficiency.

Thank you. I was looking at the reviews about HP Victus.
Very concern with the screen wobbly issues.
Still deciding between both.

this ok?
If RM3.5k stick with IPG3 with 1650, can get for under RM3k (DM for coupon)

If can stretch to RM4k, get the victus with 3050 GPU during 9.9, add RAM, still under RM4k

This okay, spec is good for the price but for now not too urgent to get, maybe will wait for a bit before make order.
However if order now, also need wait as well.

Thanks, will keep in touch later in case need it later

Hi, need your opinion here. Planning to buy a gaming laptop. Budget around rm5k. I plan to get laptop with at least RTX 3050 and dual slot for RAM and SSD that I can easily upgrade later on.

I found this two model on shopee that fits my budget. Which one is better? Or is there any better option for budget around RM5k? Plan to buy during 9.9 promo.


Asus ROG Strix G15 G513Q-CHN020T 15.6'' FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop ( Ryzen 7 5800H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, RTX3050 4GB, W10 )

ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 300 PH315-53-58U0 144HZ IPS FHD GAMING LAPTOP I5-10500H 8GD4 512SSD RTX3060 6GD6 WIN10H BLACK

hi sifu,

Below is the details:

1. Budget : MYR 3000 (plus minus)
2. Usage : Work (Database, Software Testing, Programming, light gaming)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- Lenovo brand
- 14 inch
- AMD Ryzen 5
- RAM 16GB
- SSD 512GB
- Wifi 6 (optional)
- Bluetooth (must have)
- Finger print reader (optional)
- Not require touch screen
- Dedicated graphic card (not sure whether it is possible based on the budget. I would like to play PUBG and CS GO)
- Thin and slim (if possible)

Note:
- Currently I am using ThinkPad E14 i5 (office laptop) and this is my first time I am using it and I am loving it. The keyboard is so nice. I heard that IdeaPad keyboard also good and quite similar with ThinkPad series.
- Now I am looking at :
a. IdeaPad Series
b. ThinkPad E Series
c. ThinkPad L Series

- I tried using promo code IPRICE but it is not valid anymore. Please do advice whether above requirement possible? Or I need to low the spec or increase my budget.

Big thank you.

though no MUX and not highest TGP, still better than 3050
i have a few options in mind but can u wait 1-3 months?

Oh. Lenovo need to wait like 1-3 months? I saw their website mention 2 weeks or 5 weeks delivery. (Forgot).

But yeah sure sir.

this ok?

Hi sifu,

How long is the shipping time from Lenovo?
If need the laptop ASAP recommended to buy retail units?
If so, I narrowed down the options to these 2:
1) Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2
2) Acer Swift 3 SF 314-43-R5AD

Use case is for parents, just web browsing, simple document editing, media consumption etc. Durability is most preferred aspect, however, I am unable to find an IPS panel available model for the ThinkPad.

Questions: is the TN panel 220 nits that bad? Is the swift 3 durable?

Seriously, don't do it. 220 nits is really shitty. Even in typical office lighting environment, the lines separating each cell in Excel is hardly visible. Get something that has at least 300 nits.

1. That spec looks great. But I prefer 14 inch. Btw why 14 inch is more expensive compared to 15inch eh? (I take a look at the price just now). Hmm I wish ThinkBook have black or dark color. Not a fan of white/grey color.

2. Btw, what about ThinkPad E14 series? Any recommendation? I browse thru this model ThinkPad E14 Gen 3.

3. Any model that have dedicated GC? I take a look at IdeaPad Slim 5i just now but it is Intel and got dedicated GC. This is more better in term of light gaming like CS Go and PUBG?

Sorry for the troublesome.

The 14 inch ver is around rm100 more expensive. Mayb consider Thinkpad E series?

You want dGPU?

Yeah. I do consider ThinkPad E series.

If possible dGPU. But it the budget too high, then no need

Hi, sorry for off topic, enquiry about software.
Did these 2 Lenovo laptop able to create window recovery image in usb if harddisk corrupted?
Mine Acer laptop HDD spoil once, i am able to restore back window to the new harddisk by plug in usb.

if u need dGPU then mayb consider Ideapad 5 Pro 14
why not, most laptops should be able to boot from usb with windows iso

Can you help to build spec for ThinkPad E14 AMD and the one that u mentioned Ideapad 5 Pro 14?

I might narrow to these 2 .
