1. I'm not sure why but my final price is about RM 500+ more expensive than yours?

2. What warranty options would you recommend for Lenovo laptops?

3. Do you know of any other laptop brands that have 5600H/5800H CPU without a discrete GPU? (The IdeaPad 5 Pro has the option to remove the discrete GPU but it only offers 5600U/5800U. All other Lenovo laptops that have 5800H CPU come with discrete GPUs without the option to remove them)

Thank you so much!  notworthy.gif

Alright thank you so much sifu! Now I will have to contemplate whether to buy the IdeaPad now or wait a little bit more (in case some juicy laptops release).

The coupon that you have, does it have a time limit (like campaign period)?
*
if need a laptop now, buy now

price might increase, coupon might expire

its like using another company`s chasis and slap own brand on it.

that's what resellers job for ODM laptops...clevo, tongfang, quanta, just to name a few

nothing bad, most laptop brands also sub to other ODMs (eg lenovo: lcfc+compal, dell: quanta - not for every models)

Hi, looking for laptop for office type work (no need dgpu). Priority would be able to last long (build quality) as well as good battery life. 14-15 inch, budget RM3k. I saw from the ultrabook thread there's ideapad 5 and Acer swift 3, so something along those lines but whichever can possibly last the longest (for older person to use so don't want to have to replace it anytime soon)
*
If longevity is your priority better get business laptops like thinkpad

not sure your budget can stretch a bit to get Thinkpad L14 G2 AMD or L15 G2 AMD (with coupon)

T14/T15/P14s/P15s has bad cooling and poor GPU perf when paired with dGPU, not recommending getting dGPU on these models

Hello all, would like to ask what's the best bang for buck Thinkpad?

preference is it must be non Refurbished, not so old model, screen 13 or 14 inch, min 8gb ram, min 256gb SSD, not so outdated CPU, budget around 3 to 4k, maybe can stretch abit.

Use only for MS office n movies

E series build quality and overall usage experience comparable with T or X series?
or got few compromise since it's the cheaper variant?
*
not as premium but still decent, it's catered towards consumer more instead of business

still a decent model overall (can't say the same for older E series era like Ex70 or older)
