1. Budget : 4-5k

2. Usage  : Daily use (Netflix, YouTube, video calls), gaming (mostly indie games, okay with running AAA games at low settings), tend to have 50 chrome tabs at a same time

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Good battery life, weight around 2kg is fine. Better if there's some form of international warranty.

Moving overseas in early Jan so I can't wait for too long.

a. Asus Vivobook Pro 14x OLED with RTX 3050 (waiting for color comet gray instead of silver)
b. Asus Rog Zephyrus g14

you may consider these options if you are fine with lower settings yet still needs dGPU
c. Acer Swift X R7 16gb ram (avoid R5 8gb ram because onboard, non-upgradeable mem)

you need at least 16gb ram, so perhaps above options barely acceptable because of onboard ram config, otherwise get gaming laptops that having options of upgrade up to 32gb ram eg. Nitro 5 or Legion 5 but with heavier 2.2+kg weight

Thanks for the recommendation! Any other brands for consideration besides ASUS and Acer? Haven't had very good experiences with the two brands nor heard much good things about them. Usually around 2-3 years mark then CMI dy.

you will need to give up some international warranty if you choose any besides ASUS and acer because in Malaysia as i remember only these two offers such warranty (asus 2 yrs int or acer 1st year)

can you consider buy laptop overseas later or want it now?

can you get heavier gaming laptop instead if you dont mind?

these above 2 questions because lenovo shipping is quite long and hp or dell do not offer such spec in light weight package for your budget.

Ah I see. Yes I'm planning to get it here instead of overseas - at least it's one less thing to worry about when I settle down there.

How much heavier are we talking about for HP or Dell?

around 2.5kg or more with HP victus or Dell G15

there's sub 2kg option from dell inspiron 15/16plus but over 5k, design looks so 'cheap' for that price

obviously neither Swift X nor Vivobook X series are gaming laptops because they sacrifice the GPU power limit(MAX-Q suffix mana btw?) and maybe some CPU power limit(PL2 limit may be lower) to achieve the lighter weight of sub 1.8kg, they are targeted at creative professionals.

you wish to have max 1.8 kg, so you need to sacrifice the power as said above. and Legion 5 series are not that light either (at least 2.3kg iirc) but with more power limit.

OLED seems compelling for that ASUS 14X laptop, but do u really need that? take note of some minor disadvantages such as possibly lack of DC dimmer, glossy screen (ALL OLED screen are like that for now) and possible screen burn in. but if you thing the superior color representation is deal maker/breaker for you, then go for it (especially for creative professionals PS photo edit or PR/AE video post-pro or designers whose care about that color representation)

Thank you for the explanation and to be honest I do not know about the MAX-Q. I tried to find information about MAX-Q for Asus Rog Zephyrus g14 (GTX 1650 4GB) (https://rog.asus.com/my/laptops/rog-zephyrus/2021-rog-zephyrus-g14-series/) but could not find it on the website

I called the customer service and they told me normal boost is 50W and Dynamic Boost is 65W. By having this information, this considered okay and slightly a gaming laptop?

Btw, how to verify the information of GPU power limit that they told me?

I might going to lowyat this weekend to see the laptop it self.

Question: Actually, I was looking at 14 inch gaming laptop for budget RM4.2k

Can't wait 1-3 months. Need it next month already.
For weight maybe less than 1.5kg or around there
Battery life at least 10 hrs

Hi, would like to get some advices from sifu here

1. Budget : Rm3.5k max

2. Usage  : Microsoft Office, normal surfing web, Metatrader 4, light gaming (only playing Overcooked 2)

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- Battery life as long as possible
- Lightweight (currently has a ideapad 720s, 13 inch, prefer with the same or lighter weight)
- Display largest 13 inch (prefer small size due to desk unable to fit laptop with 15 inch or higher)

Thanks in advanced  

1. Budget : 4-5k

2. Usage  : Daily use (Netflix, YouTube, video calls), gaming (mostly indie games, okay with running AAA games at low settings), tend to have 50 chrome tabs at a same time

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Good battery life, weight around 2kg is fine. Better if there's some form of international warranty.

Moving overseas in early Jan so I can't wait for too long.

am looking one that can last me for some time.

Hi, looking for a new laptop

1. Budget : RM4000+ (~4500)
2. Usage : 3D Software, Video Editing, Photo Editing, Light Gaming, Apex,
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :  Prefer better CPU (i7/R7), mid range GPU

can wait 1-3 months delivery? if yes, get Legion 5 with 3050 (with code)

so u want 14 or 15 inch?

Is okay wattage because 50w base is standard for 1650 mobile

Max q of 1650 mobile is even lower like 30w on ms***i GF63

To verify the wattage, you will need to run a game or benchmark and download HWInfo64 to monitor it

Thank you. But what I meant was, how to search in google on for a specific laptop to know their graphic card GPU limit?

Btw, is there any possibility that laptop A and B have same same graphic card but different GPU limit? What cause it to have different value?

I tried to check for Asus G14 gpu limit specifically and compared the value that has been given by customer service (because that guy macam take a long time to answer my question and not pretty confident about it)
