2. Usage: Heavy usage as main device + >20 Tabs + Frequent Excel + Intermediate Graphics Editing

Somehow I am doubtful about Acer in gaming laptops. I know the specs are good, but what about the built up? and got heating issue?

I am actually favoring Asus ROG Strix G15 CHN042T, can you comment about this? I was originally looking at CHN020T but it seems like everywhere out of stock and they came up with a new model CHN042T but older processer =/

Thanks ahead!

u mean build quality? nothing special

cooling is alright, perf is entry level since there is no MUX and only 95W 3060

don't buy 3050 over RM4k, even a slow 3060 is much faster

can choose R7 or 16GB soldered RAM, there is an empty slot that supports 32GB max (if u choose 16GB soldered)

alternatives: Thinkpad L13 G2 AMD / L14 G2 AMD / L15 G2 AMD

I won't suggest models that I personally won't even consider buying

but the decision is yours in the end

usage? wait time?

min how many hrs of battery life u prefer?

can buy cheaper in website but need to wait

If u prefer 15 inch, can consider Ideapad 5i 15 customize with MX450. Not recommending retail model of IP5i bcoz of 8GB non upgradeable RAM. Or Ideapad 5 Pro 16 82L5008JMJ (retail), but not sure got stock or not.

If fine with 14 inch, can consider Ideapad 5 Pro 14 customize with MX450. Or even Zephyrus G14

Just chat with Maybank, seems that option to convert to 0% interest installment is only for 12 months. I planned to convert to 18 months or more. 9% p.a will applicable.

From Lenovo website, this RM 3162.62 will translate to around RM 199 per month for 18 months.

Attached Image

If direct from Shopee, it would be RM 3697,20 which translate to around RM 204 per month for 18 months at 0% interest.

Ideapad Gaming 3 Shopee

Hmm found on Youtube that this fella able to get Gaming 3 at 2.7k. I believe he use student discount.

Thinking of getting Ideapad Gaming 3 from Lenovo. Anyone knows a good place to get it or getting from their main site is okay?

EDIT: -

Perhaps this is a better choice. RM4340

Budget is 4k, can stretch a bit. Wait time... probably within a few weeks? Not something like a few months. How's Lenovo mainsite? If I get the Ideapad gaming 3 from them directly?
