R5+3060 (130W with MUX)+16G+512G+165Hz can get under RM4.9k

Those are user marks. In these modern days, paper specs especially clockrate don't tell you the full stories, performance is dynamic according to the power and cooling available. Follow reviews to have better ideas on what's happening.

Technically i7 is no slough either, but it's still the less wise option for it's costlier and less energy efficient. Basically AMD = more energy efficient = less heat = can run cooler = better sustained performance. Those 2 Ryzen7 equipped Legion5 can easily sustain the performance at 2.1k marks, higher than the i7.

Legion 5 is an acceptable all rounder but it's price no longer as no-brainerly cheap as previous gens/years offering (basically previous years, Legion5 is the to go with gold standard for appropriate budget laptop due to good performance+decent build+great price).

p/s: The only charm of going with Intel is if you're someone who happen to need/use Thunderbolt connection. One of the main potential of Thunderbolt is to allow the use of external-GPU, which is more towards those high-end ultrabook without equally powerful GPU instead of gaming laptop we're talking bout here. And ya, Thunderbolt compatible laptop typically came with extra price premium and certainly over the 5k-ish budget we're discussing bout today.

Laptop of 5 years broke down 2 days ago. Need some help with finding a new laptop. Thank you.

1. Budget: Under RM6K
2. Usage: Gaming (Apex, Cs, possibly triple A in the future), school
3. Requirements: 17 inch, RTX 3060 or higher, >=144hz screen
4. Urgency: need within 5 days

No preferences on battery and weight, screen preferably more vibrant than not. Both ryzen and intel acceptable. Before finding this forum was interested in Rog Strix G17 G713 (3060 model no longer in stock), Msi GF75 (low wattage), Legion 5 17.3" (Out of stock) and Tuf A17 (2021). Sorry if this seems too specific

Hello, looking for a new laptop to use for the next 3-4 years.

1. Budget: 3-4k
2. Usage: Casual use, mostly watching movies/youtube or doing light office work (Word, Excel)
3. Requirements: Preferably 13 inches, though open for 14-15 as well. Prefer something light yet powerful enough to last for the next few years.
4. Urgency: Can wait till end of January.

wait time?

can get L5i 17 i5+3060+16G+512G for around RM5.4k iirc, only if u can wait

since u can't wait, not much options left for 17 inch market, mayb G713 but probably over 6k and no MUX

need 16G RAM?

Anything bad between this models, Honor magicbook pro and Lenovo ideapad 5 pro 82l7005hmj?

Or have any other model to recommend?
Budget around 3.5k. mainly for office work. Need 16gb ram and at least 512gb storage

Thinkbook 15 G2 and configure as I did. But I do feel the high premium and steep price for going i5 and add to 2 years warranty (which should be the bare minimum for any laptops out there). But I totally won't suggest i3 version despite your overall lite usage, i5 is just so much more complete package and likely to age much better than the dual cores i3.

Another issue is the dubbed waiting time is 8-10 weeks....

But a niche plus point of it is there is Thunderbolt4 support (which is typically very rare for sub-RM5k laptop), which should make it even a tad more future-proof than those without.
