Hi Sifus, I need some advice from y'all for choosing a gaming laptop
Budget Range: Below 5k or Below 6k
Usage: FPS, Heavy gaming, Coding
Specific Brand: -
Screen Size: -
Weight: around 2.0kg if possible

There are some offers given by the seller who I bought my desktop from him but I'm not sure they're reliable or not.
Here's the list he had given to me:
GIGABYTE G5 MF, i5-12450H, 8GB 3200MHZ RAM, 512GB SSD, RTX4050, 15.6" FHD, 2 YEARS WARRANTY.
Free 8GB Ram
Free 512GB SSD
[PRICE]: RM4299

ACER-AN515-58-51AB-BLK NITRO 5 / 15.6 FHD IPS 144HZ / I5-12450H / 8GB + 15 DDR4 / 512GB PCIE G4X4 NVME SSD + 1 SATA / NVIDIA RTX3050 4GB DDR6 / W11 / 2 YR + 1ST YR ITW.
[PRICE]: RM3599

ASUS-FX507Z-C4HN027W-GRY TUF GAMING F15 / 15.6 FHD IPS 144HZ / I5-12500H / 8GB + 15 DDR4 / 512GB PCIE G3X4 NVME SSD / NVIDIA RTX3050 4GB DDR6 / W11 / 2Y ITW + 1ST YR AD.
[PRICE]: RM3899

The GIGABYTE G5 MF looks promising to me, but I could hardly find good reviews from reddit, YouTube etc. Mostly are G5 KF, but i think they're similar most probably have the same issues, very poor thermal cooling and bad colour and brightness display on screen.
Other than these options are acceptable, leave your suggestions and I'll take a look whether which one suits me the most. Thanks! smile.gif

MF is lower tier than KF so it is either similar or worst.

Acer Nitro 5 usually get a good review. Maybe try checking it out with same or better CPU with RTX 3060.

Saw this in Shopee: https://shp.ee/ihtwb8d

In terms of price and specs, any other better options other than Nitro 5? Im actually using Nitro 5 AN515-54 i7-9750H GTX1650 rn, bought it with roughly slightly more than 5k during early year 2020 in Sunway Pyramid mad.gif
Didn't know much about laptop by that time, after getting know more bout specs found out macam kena tipu by the Acer ah neh ranting.gif

That year everything computer related is in the highest price ever due to COVID.

Why go to Sunway Pyramid when  MRT is very convenient to reach Plaza Lowyat? More competition = better price.

Acer looks like the best bang for buck. Go down to Plaza Lowyat and check out other model in person better. You can't tell the built quality and screen online.

I see, that makes much sense that I prolly wasn't the only one who paid 5k+ for a dang GTX 1650 😂
Fact that it was the nearest place I could find with bunch of laptop brands during that time, plus I wasn't from KL and didn't really familiar with places there. That's my first year staying in KL during my diploma haha..

Yeah I'd like to go have a look in Plaza Lowyat but prolly not so soon since I've transferred uni after graduated from my diploma and it takes 2hours long to reach KL from my place rn lol, but still I need to get myself with a list of choices so I'll know what I should look for before going in. That's why I'm enquiring advices from Sifus here biggrin.gif
