i'm looking for a gaming laptop. this will be a secondary unit cos i already have my normal pc and buying this laptop just to play some games on it instead of upgrading my pc.

used to own a ROG long time ago but gave it away.

any good recommendations?

Honor Magicbook Pro? but webcam at bottom
budget? wait time?

Honor product reliable ah? Seems like they just started into laptop not longer ago. If webcam on top any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I have decided to get the legion 5 and was wondering if it is safe to game with the lid close since I will be using an external monitor. Will there be any potential damage caused to the laptop screen? I normally game around 2 - 3 hours.

then need to sacrifice specs, ok?
better not since kb has intakes

Sure, I would like to have a few options so that I can let my cousin to choose from them. Also for the magicbook, is it the one with r5-4600h you recommended?

fine with low sRGB panel and non upgradeable 8GB RAM?

yes

low sRGB panel is fine, but for RAM, how long will 8GB sufficient for if using it for office work and watching online contents at the same time.

Depending what office work. If you have many things open at once then 8GB will give problems. Source: my own usage. Once you have many tabs, then open Zoom or Teams, then difficult di.

to me 16G is the new norm

Alright. Then if upgradable ram, any other decent model within that price range?

Hi, recently I have decided to purchase the Lenovo Legion 5 but after further enquiring most suppliers do not have ready stock at the moment. I am in need of a new laptop (max 1 week wait time) hence, decided to opt for other models. I have the following models in mind which are readily available:-

HP Omen 15 en1000ax - Ryzen 5 5600H, RTX3060 (will manually upgrade ram to 16gb)
Illegear Onyx V (AMD) - Ryzen 7 4800H, RTX3060

I am leaning towards the omen15 for now maybe because I have watched many reviews on this (but mainly on the R7 model) so I roughly know what I am getting as compared to Illegear. However, illegear's specs are too good to look away as well

My concern about the omen15 is the processor. Can it keep up with future games?

Feel free to state your recommendations as well if you have any other laptops in mind. Thanks.

1. Budget : RM6k
2. Usage : Casual triple AAA single player game in high settings & stock trading (most of the time these usage will be plugged in to my 2560x1080 external monitor)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 14-15.6 inches, 4-5 hours, <2.5kg, reliability which could last me for at least 4 - 5 years

Still hv code for discount? Thx

Thinkpad E series? but only 1yr warranty

if reliability is your main concern, consumer grade laptops are not for u

Hi, i'm helping my aunt to research for her next laptop purchase. She has been using the Thinkpad T420 which should be around 10 years now.

As Dell is not likely to compete with the Thinkpad in terms of build, she'll most likely stick to Thinkpad. Budget is around 6k. I've tried to narrow down to Thinkpad T14 and P14s but figure the Quadro GPU is not necessary. Is there any potential alternative for Thinkpad T14? No wait time. At least 16GB RAM.

Also she is not convinced with the reliability of the AMD chip yet. Any advice i should let her know? Is the premium worth it for the Intel chip?

Thanks!

Dell has Latitude which can compete with Thinkpad

get Intel CPU then

Thanks, for that, any promo code can be used to get some discount?

retail models...no code

Bro, can you pm me more details with this? Hoe you get special rate? Thanks and cheers
Now i am finding a laptop around rm3k only for work (microsoft word) and daily browsing website.
