U need workstation laptops such as the ThinkPad W541 or P51. Newer models should be quite expensive. Screen size is usually between 15 and 17 inches.

funnyTONE Just read your post, yeah, this is good config. But I probably won't buy all those extra insurance. Seems like waste of money. I think the only part that always die first is battery. Ori Battery probably RM300+?

Now I just need to check more on the weight. If it's around 1.6kg acceptable lah, given the better specs compares to lightweight 1.3kg models.

You said earlier 5 weeks delivery, is it due to out of stock status? :Hmmm:

But I think acceptable lah, my kid just starting his orientation this week and real class only next week. Can use Samseng A7 tablet or old laptop if needed for time being.

15" with decent GPU and CPU (not those power saving type) 16GB RAM at least, SSD and but one ext. HDD and cloud for backup. Usually gaming laptop will fit this requirement.

It can be good for some decent AI simulation, CFD and FEA, AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS should be quite smooth. Can last 4 years, only need to replace battery and perhaps cleaning the fan and re-thermal paste the CPU and GPU.

17" too heavy, avoid. If screen not big at home, can buy monitor for those assignments/word processing.

Wonder is it advisable to use the laptop without battery when at home so that can prolong the lifespan?

But nowadays all batteries non removable already. How to use without battery?

T480 can upgrade to 64GB RAM if needed

Vivobook oled

I think you should check out the new Dell Inspiron with AMD chips. They have 16:10 screen and upgradable RAM (unlike Vivobook with soldered RAM). Battery size is quite big also.

Bought this Dec-2021 for Engineering student, ~rm5300, after stacking discount. Ryzen 7 5800; 16", 16GB, 1TB, RX6600m(8gb)

So high price

RM 5.3k seems good. But what is the weight?

Just now went to Harvey Norman.

This caught my eye.

Seems gooding, specs all passed and weight and size perfect. No need big screen. Already got an ultrawide monitor to use at home. Portability is No 1 concern.

Btw, i check this 5800U and 5800H. It seems the same, what is the difference? I can also find that 5800H use more power and 5800U is for ultra thin laptop.

Dei. You asking me top up cikit get a Felali is it?

I can only top up cikit get a VIOS max.

But Dell Inspiron quality really jalat one wor....last time my opis has tons of Inspiron. Jalat laptops.

How about HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13-be0029AU?

It has very high resolution screen, 100% sRGB. Weight less than 1kg.

Only down side is Ram 8GB only.

Yeah, saw this just now, RAM 8GB, maybe not.

My old xps 13 with built in gpu last almost 8 hours man

Now dono my thinkpad e14 max 4 hours

Used to buy Dell stuff, but their plastic quality like shit.
So brittle. Thats why they can afford 1-1 replacement most of the time. I moved to Lenovo after that.
