I asked the seller for HDD upgrade and he said only SSD upgrade slot is available. It's on sale right now under Rm4K but no HDD makes me kinda worried. Is SSD only storage reliable?
UPDATE: Okay so now I'm willing to spend a bit more. RM 4.5-5K. The reason is that I learned that the Asus A15 2022 has MUX unlock and better thermal than the 2021, but everywhere I can only find it at least 5600 k. However I also found the latest A15 2023 at RM4999 but it has RTX4050. Upon research I learned that it doesn't perform as good as RTX3060 but at the same time I'll get a better laptop build than the 2021 version. Thoughts?

QUOTE(sHawTY @ May 19 2023, 03:48 PM) Lots of laptop nowadays no longer have 2.5" slot Why would you want to use HDD? If you want reliability, just backup your important data lah, don't store it in just 1 place I guess I'm just paranoid listening people' stories how their ssd dies on them and it has limited data cycle. I've been primarily usinng hdd all my life. QUOTE(wkchia @ May 19 2023, 04:01 PM) Im using A15, the main problem is the heat dissipation is not efficient. you cannot get full performance even u have a good CPU/GPU. How bad is it? The one I'm buying has Intel® Core™ i5-11400H Processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 GDDR6 6GB. Still I'd be happy to play games just on high settings and not ultra.

QUOTE(wkchia @ May 20 2023, 09:39 AM) i have tried to run the benchmark using Aida64, it will throttle after a while. I just cannot get all cores to run max. BTW, mine is Ryzen 4800H with RTX 2060. I have also change the back cover with more ventilation holes. U can find alot of yt videos about A15. I've seen a couple of videos especially this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqwXd923JbI he gave it a favorable review and his specs is definitely higher than mine and like he pointed out it's a budget choice and it is within my budget. I've done a bit of research, and what I've found is that apparently the iets gt300 cooling pad works well with the A15 This post has been edited by hyperwavedrift: May 20 2023, 11:42 AM |
