Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 (RM 3,699)

Illegear Arte 14 (RM 4,370 Cash Price)

I'm not an IT geek so I'm not exactly sure how to compare specs. I'm leaning towards Arte 14 cause I personally love the lighter weight. But does it come with its own setback other than the more expensive price tag?

Comparing both of them, who has a better value for money?

What are your use needs. Are you gaming and require high fps? Or are you more into multimedia stuff

Have a look at the realme if you just need a more business notebook. Special offer on 27 Aug.

Will a gaming laptop also be good at video editing?

I might play light games like Dota2 and do light editing like videos below 30mins.

Acer Nitro 5 should be sufficient right?

saw multiple forums complaining illegear battery swollen/ warranty claim experience suck... better buy with some reliable brands

illegear probably not a good choice with that specs although the screen is really good. acer nitro 5 has better specs but a bad screen tho. u might see washed out colours with the acer although it has high refresh rate.

i recommend you to get the lenovo ideapad 5 pro 16 since u have the budget to go rm 4k.
ideapad 5 pro 16 has a nice screen with wide srgb coverage, better gpu (gtx 1650), better processor than the illegear. lenovo is a good laptop company too

u can buy it thru shopee, i think have ready stock

just my personal opinion

if u dont mind with a washed out screen, just get the acer nitro, since u do video editing don't expect much with intel

Do you happen to have a link of the laptop you're recommending? There are so many versions of it under the same / similar names and it tends to get confusing.

I don't really care about bad screen, it's just a bonus to have color-accurate screen. I'd love it if the laptop is lightweight and has a lot of storage space and doesn't lag too much when I edit vids/play games.

not sure about the cooling performance but just dont play cyberpunk 2077 max graphics lol

*if you're not in a hurry to get this, i recommend u to buy from here: https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/d/laptops-by-s...ayoutType=grid#

currently the ideapad 5 pro 16 version is out of stock, maybe u can buy the 14" version but takes time to ship especially customised.

if u hate waiting for 1 month or more, try buy from the shopee link

take note that u could even get a better price than the original if u chat with lenovo customer service....

So you’re saying price could be negotiable?

not exactly negotiable, they kind of give you a quotation/ recommended promo code

IPRICE

these are common promo codes, try out which gives a better discount on the laptop model u want first. then u mention something like this to the customer service: is there a better price than MASTERCARD promo code for the lenovo ideapad 5 pro?

Illegear Arte got perfect keyboard and body build, but the performance and battery life macam a bit lower compared to the 15.6 inch ionic touch.



For Illegear warranty claim, I personally own their first gen Onyx and I can say their service turnaround time is very fast compared to my other laptop brands.

Well sadly, they don't exactly have a reputation of delivering consistent product & good customer service. Maybe it depends a lot on your luck who you called

Thanks for the info, will look into that.

sure man, good luck ✌️

My bro and I using Nitro 5 and we find it so far so good. He also an animator so he does some video and animate editing. He seems fine working with it even tho Nitro 5 is an gaming laptop. He said no issue at all using it for video editing. Hope this helps

acer nitro 5 is my 1st choice if u r comparing with illegear, personally has bad experience with illegear laptop build quality. u might wan to refer to this thread before u hit the buy button
