1. Budget : RM2k-2.5k
2. Usage : Light gaming (ie. LoL, Apex), movies, ms office and remote work.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 15.6", 16gb ram if possible. Battery at least 2 and 1/2 hrs. At least i5 or Ryzen equivalent.

I am using it mostly for my remote work and some of the less demanding game. My current laptop is aging (5yrs and going now) and require replacement. No refurbish laptop please.

Is it me or does i5 laptop now no longer at low 2k now ?

either sacrifice specs or build quality

highly suggest increase budget slightly, now is 2021 so don't expect cheap prices

Honestly I dont really know how to check on that. My current laptop is now 5 years which is Lenovo. Previous one was Asus that lasted 4 years. I do mind good quality build, but I really have no idea on what makes a good quality build.

if possible within my budget of 2k-2.8k, yes please.

Also, could someone share their review on Honor branded laptop ?
I found they are doing preorder for a new laptop with Ryzen 5 for 2.5k and I was wondering if it is worth it. Would like some opinion on that.
