Hi guys,

Any suggestions base on this specification?

1. Budget
# 2k - 2.5k if possible

2. Usage
# internet multi-tab browsing
# microsoft office
# zoom, webex, google meet calls
# a bit of torrenting for watching movies/series

3. Requirement (display size, battery life, weight etc)
# around 14"-16"
# decent battery life (8 hours I guess)
# has a numpad
# around 2kg or less
# 8GB RAM
# mainly for writing up docs/pdf

Budget: 4k
usage: gaming (genshin, apex), 1080p video editing, college use

prefer if it has 16gb or 8gb upgradable ram,
screen size: dont care
quiet and efficient thermals if possible at this budget, probably not

was looking at ideapad gaming 2021 but it sold out
can wait until 2022

thanks in advance

then would say wait a bit, hope for price drops and better supply

Hi all,

Need your guidance to buy a laptop for my brother who is starting university next month pursuing diploma in software enineering.

i guess for software need to run some applications related, so probably need laptop with good specs? with graphic cards?

the budget is around RM4k.

What kind of software engineering? The school got provide minimum specs?

If I were to up the budget to 2.7k, would I have better options?

Consider to buy gaming laptop.
Requirement - 1TB SSD, 16GB/32GB RAM (prefer 32GB), min RTX3060, max 16" screen
Budget 7k-ish, the lower better

Looking at Legion 5, 5 Pro, Zephyrus G14/G15, any other better option?
Wait time maybe around 1 month
*
if u can only wait 1 month better buy retail models

Lenovo Legion 5 15 82JU004RMJ
Gigabyte Aorus 15P KC-8MY2130GH
Illegear Rogue AMD

what the website quoted is not accurate?

yes, could be earlier could be later

4 weeks is ship time, not delivery time - for delivery expect +1 week

ok, so should be still within 5-6 weeks right?
legion 5 pro this spec 82JQ00DGMJ is about 6.8k now, i guessed the price is quite bad compare to like 1-2 months ago right?

legion 5, legion 5 pro and legion 7 how to choose which is better one given the same spec configurations?

other than illegear and gigabyte, any order model worth to consider? maybe like alienware and ROG?
*
like i said no one knows

think u can get cheaper price, and yes price has increased compared to 1st launch

for Legion comparison please contact me via Telegram, too long to post it here

you can refer to the list
