1. Budget : MYR 4k - 5k


2. Usage : primarily is a WHF setup with secondary have to go to the office / meet clients. mainly going to connect to a usb c hub to two 1080p monitors. when at home I don't need to run the laptop monitor as well, planning to set up so that closing the lid will still run the laptop. light gaming (indie games and old AAA games), as long as stable 60fps; for work some times have to open huge excel files; hobby level digital drawing but no need for very accurate screen since that's what my external monitor is for. sometimes have to go out and meet clients to open MS office stuff.


3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : prefer 15" for easier time if I have to work away from my home setup. battery life should at least last half a work day. weight 2kg and under. willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for portability. would love to be able to charge via usb c.

EDIT: no problem waiting 1 month or more.

EDIT2: fine with older model, but planning to use laptop at least 3 years.

Currently only playing phasmophobia on an old inspiron, but used to play XCOM 2, and would like to play vermintide, civ 6, sekiro, battlefleet gothic. it's been a long time since I looked up any games though.

What if I ignore trying to be portable. What would your recommendation for a laptop with a low end discreet GPU either older generation or newer?

From my own research it seems some configuration of the Legion 5 might be suitable based on my other requirement.

I'll give consideration to it, since I might have missed a few.
