Need help with budget Gaming Laptop

[ChasmEd]

Hello guys,

 

I need help with choosing a budget gaming laptop. 1050,1050TI will be good enough as I don't play AAA titles. I play Dota 2 & LoL. 

 

I am currently staying in Thailand, but will always be travelling around SE Asia.

P.S: As long as the weight of the laptop is below 3KG, i don't care the size of it. I can travel with a gaming laptop

 

To give you guys some references these are some online stores:

I was considering Y530 but read the reviews online and it is filled with overheating issues. I don't really care about the low sRGB.

This is not exactly a gaming laptop is it?

Im sorry did you want racing stripes on it lol. It has an i7 7700hq , gtx 1050ti, and 16gb ram.

Or are you looking for a nicer display with a higher refresh rate.

Alright, maybe that's where the misunderstanding is. Apparently the 720 we got here don't support 1050ti only supports uhd integrated graphics. As the games i play don't really need heavy graphics, I am prioritizing a good cooling system.

Ahh gotcha. I will say though I doubt those games will be pushing a 1050ti too hard. That being said depending on your budget any "gaming" ish laptop should have sufficient cooling. I would just pick what you like at the best price you can cope with. The laptop I listed was the cheapest one with a 1050ti i could find , so i doubt it has a nice cooling system. Hope you find one.

Budget? Any preference on battery life?

 

Legion Y530 has good cooling as long as you don't get a lemon heatsink

I have sent you a PM! Btw, budget roughly 800 to 1k usd, no preference on battery life as it will be plugged in most of the time. 

What's a lemon heatsink btw? total noob here

Bad heatsink due to poor quality control
