Advice for laptop;Colourful p15 vs Lenovo Legion 5, Looking for advice

SevereSuffering — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 17:15:56 +0800

Hi everyone, needing some advice for my next purchase; a gaming laptop.

Thusfar I have more or less narrowed down my options however I am abit stuck between my two options

Lenovo Legion 5(RM4699;Shopee 8.8 sale):
i5 12500H/RTX 3060 6Gb/16GB/512/15.6" WQHD/

or

Colorful p15 (RM4550):
i7 12650H/RTX 4060/16GB/512GB/15.6" QHD 165

On paper, the "Colorful" laptop seems like a much better choice based on pure specs.
That being said, there are barely any reviews and therefore overall quality is unknown.
I have heard that laptops of this variant may be prone to instabilities.

My question is more on the Colorful laptops and whether anyone has any reviews/experience using one.
In terms of current needs, I think the RTX 3060 should fulfill whatever I want to do currently however if the colorful laptop is good, there is nothing wrong with getting something better for future proofing in my opinion.

Thank you

Edit 1: Budget was actually RM4,500 (Obviously exceeded. But able to give abit of leeway)

Damage reported during Transit, Anyone experience this?

alenn — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 09:36:50 +0800

Hi all daikors,

Recently bought a laptop via official website from a well known brand "L", however, it took longer than the advertised to ship to me, I haven't received till today.

Yesterday when I track the shipping status, it has damage reported when it reaches Malaysia Sepang.

Before reaching MY it had routed to few countries and cities.

I have email the official post sales department, still awaiting their reply on what should I do.

My laptop is now in Shah Alam already(according to the tracker), I foresee it will deliver to me within this week, if they proceed to deliver to me.

Should I reject to collecting from the courier if there is obvious damage on the box?

How do you all handle situation like this?
