Hi sifus

I want to buy a laptop but not sure what to buy now.

1. Budget: Strictly below RM5k. Around mid RM4k is good.

2. Usage: Work + casual game. Work involves crazy amount of Chrome extensions and tabs. My normal RAM usage is 15GB on normal basis. Don't suggest Edge, since my work binded with Google ecosystem.

Game - more on strategy stuffs. Civ 6, Humankind if possible. Low graphic is okay, but as long not stressing the CPU and GPU much. Can run FIFA21 would be great (low setting is okay, as long FPS is acceptable).

3. Requirement: If possible, ultrabook. Love the lightweight of it and the light charger.
RAM is upgradable to at least 32GB.
Internal storage of 256GB NVME is okay, but 512GB would be nice. Extra slot to add extra SSD later would be be best.

Prefer not to go for ASUS. Other brands is fine.
Open to Ryzen 4th gen / Intel 10th gen too. Older than that is too old, I guessed.

Actually liking Swift X... but:
I. soldered RAM... sweat.gif
ii. SG pricing... RM6k while Indonesia around RM4k plus... damn.
iii. That 3050.... brows.gif

Not sure other options yet at the moment.

Thank you! biggrin.gif

How long you can wait?  laugh.gif  its pretty hard get decent brand.. even custom like Illegear / Level51 make you wait at least 5-6 weeks. Then at least more choices to choose from.

How bout Legion 5?
