Hi, Lowyat forumer,

I want to buy a laptop, so just been doing my research for the past two months. I'm not the one who changes laptops frequently and needs to search for the best for my money over a long year. Since CES is next month, I have several questions and need lowyat forumer to help me:

1. How CES event will affect the current gen laptop price? (e.g., let's say Asus announce a new gen laptop at CES, will the current gen laptop price drop, or will it only drop when it arrives in Malaysia? )

2. When the manufacturer announces a new gen laptop at the CES event, how long will it come to Malaysia? (estimate: 1 month, two months?) roughly?

3. Should I buy a current-gen laptop(now since there are year-end sales and Christmas sales and tomorrow's 12.12 sale) or wait until next month for a manufacturer to announce a new one? ( advantages: if the price for current-gen laptop drops??).

I never followed the laptop market, so that I wouldn't know the previous trend for the laptop market prices.

After research: target manufacturers: Asus, Legion and Predator.

Thank You for all your help, Lowyat forumer.

I see price stable same je even after new line come out..

1. 12gen notebook MSRP most likely will not change after 13gen release.

2. Next gen CPU is most likely available in Malaysia at end of 2023 Q1 or early Q2.

3. Unless you looking for ultra high-end RTX 4000 series, I personally think for casual notebook, no much point to wait for 13gen. (However I'm may wrong.)
