Hi guys, looking for laptop recommendation. I am a Mac guy so i’m clueless about Windows laptop

1. Budget : MAX. RM2,500
2. Usage  : University/studies/casual use. No gaming/video editing involve
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :

- main priority would be reliability, as might want to have the laptop to stay with her until finish study (estimate 4 years)
- best if can get 15inches
- buying for niece
- she gonna enrol to Uni in a few months

Thanks!

1. Budget : RM2.5k-RM4k (Plus minus, can go a little higher if it is worth it)
2. Usage  : Web browsing, watching videos, some excel sheets, photo editing, simple video editing and no gaming.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
    - Display Size - 14inch would be nice. Plan to get a monitor in the future, so not too particular.
    - Battery Life - No preference
    - Weight - I would prefer something that is not too heavy as I do carry around occasionally.

I browse around and found these 3 laptop, is it any good?

if your budget is strictly RM2.5k, either Magicbook X15 or Matebook D15 (should be under RM2.5k unless it's out of stock), but the i3 CPU is not that fast, also RAM cannot be upgraded, 256GB storage might be small

Budget about 4.5k but can stretch to max 5k if worth the investment. Prefer not to as I have opened a GPD fund (I am so attracted to the GPD Win ,Aya Neo, Steam Deck but the prices and whether I might as well get a cheapo laptop and do in home streaming TT or just play indie)

A lot of the reviews say RTX is not that much of an improvement over the GTX

Waiting Time: not a problem. But how long will they normally take? Just to manage my expectations biggrin.gif

Should i buy a middle top-tier now (GTX), while waiting for Win 11? Win 10 Home is so annoying if they won't let me postpone game breaking

1. For this budget you can only get entry level RTX3060 laptops
2. Improvement over what? Raw rasterization performance? The statement is vague
3. Depends on model
4. W11 is based on W10...

I didn;t even think I could get a 30 series with this. What do you mean entry level, as in bottlenecked at CPU tat kind of thing?

2. Improvement over what? Raw rasterization performance? The statement is vague
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSH1zPMo1JY
No doubt the newer card is an improvement of overall performance but to my non technical eyes, the not-significant uptick in performance needs to match the price.
Btw, how do I differentiate the Legions naming convention? 5, 7, "i"? I haven't check out those other brands mentioned sometimes, so far only peeking at Lenovo and Asus.

3. Depends on model
ok.

4. W11 is based on W10...
arghh. My friend told me to get the Win10 Pro Edition for more control. Might have to get a key somewhere, need to shave expenses. Already Win10 has issues with older games.
*
1. Low GPU TGP, no MUX, low sRGB screen
2. You shouldn't use desktop cards for comparison...the GPU performance depends on the model (TGP, cooling), however in general RTX is still faster in rasterization
