Budget Laptop for University

[im_iqbal41]

Looking for a laptop that has great performance and good enough battery. My budget is around MYR3000 / $700 and I don't mind spending more for the better but not more from this budget.

A laptop that can run any Adobe pro suite apps(AI and Photoshop), SketchUp, AutoCAD, and E-Sport game. Also, a room for me to upgrade or swap components. (Like wifi card.)

• Performance > Build quality > Battery life

• I don't mind refurbs/used as long as the battery is an easy replacement.

• Weight and thinness are not an issue.

• Well reviewed laptop is awesome for me to make research on.

• Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 (Good thermal)

• 8GB Ram in dual channel config (I don't mind add ram later by myself)

• M.2 SSD or 2.5 SSD (I don't care about storage if I can upgrade it later)

• MX150 (or newer model) or whatever Vega graphics that good.

• Good enough battery life for web browsers and anime.

• Good enough display (If the laptop has a bad screen I wouldn't mind swapping it with a better one.)

I'm looking at Lenovo IdeaPad 5 (15), Acer Aspire 5, Acer Swift 3, HP Envy 13, Huawei Matebook D15, Asus ROG, Asus Vivobook. (If there is an old model or different model that I said then it fine.)

Thank you so much in an advance, you guys are amazing.

I see you included a price in USD. Does that mean you can buy from the US? If not, what sites?

Lazada, Shoppe or official website of SI.

Probably this ASUS Tuf 15. Comes with a 6 core 12-thread Ryzen 4000 chip, a 1650 ti, and a 512gb nvme ssd. It's an IPS panel, so while 46% NTSC coverage is not great for prints, it's probably like 80% sRGB.

The only catch is 8GB or RAM but it's upgradeable.

That seems to be the best deal I can find. Also, you're welcome

I'm looking for something that maybe has a Ryzen 7 4700u instead of a 4600h, but at this budget I can't find anything.

Pretty much the only option you have.
