Dear Sifus, Looking to get a replacement for my HP Pavi 15. Only if I can pay using HSBC CC preferred with 0% installment 3k to 4k plus  willing to stretch to 5k like that if meets the specs needed Daily office use, canva, open alot of tabs, in near future might work with OBS and some video editing. Got use insta360 apps for editing as well. Appreciate all the feedbacks This post has been edited by phearfiery: Nov 15 2023, 12:12 PM

From recent sales 4.5k is good to play for 3D game such as L4D2, smoothly
But for video editing, you might put more $$ on RAM, 32GB or 64GB will be a charm.. need more expert to comment onn This Makesure the motherboard able to take it...

For video editing, more RAM is beneficial (min. 32 GB). GPU will beneficial too. A fast speedy SSD (NVMe) too.
If you are not mobile (desk bound) most of the time, suggest a gaming laptop Legion. Budget 4-4.5k is ok. Unless you want to go for the latest and greatest which will cost an arm and leg. Not much of point IMHO, today's latest and greatest model will be entry level in less than 2 years. I usually for go last year or the year before latest and greatest which is a bargain value for money.
Video editing, get those 100% sRGB (72% NTSC) screen.
Happy shopping.

Try Lazada. Legion 5, AMD 6600H, 8 GB RAM, RTX 3050 4GB at about RM 3.5k. It was at RM 3.1k during 11.11 sale. This is best value for money IMHO for the all-round spec and warranty.
I had the earlier model, 5800H, DIY mem upgrade to 32 GB single slot. It has 2 slots. Ran out of budget to buy another 32 GB RAM at that time! LOL.

However, for video editing...better check the specs ya. To see if the screen is 100sRGB or not. Acer ones, they don't specify it clearly.
