Advice for laptop;Colourful p15 vs Lenovo Legion 5

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)

Anywhere available for testing Samsung Gear Iconx?

SevereSuffering — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 16:36:18 +0800

I would like to know if there is a place that allows testing of the 2018 Gear Iconx.
I understand that testing In ear earbuds and all that is extremely unhygienic and may cause infections and so on, however I am not willing to buy the earbuds first before knowing if it is suitable or not.

I have a history of not being able to tolerate In-ear earphones for a long time and was wondering if the gear iconx will be the same.
Microphonics with In-ear earphones is also not tolerable as I can hear my teeth grinding and is extremely distracting.

Thanks. .

Samsung Pay Friendly Merchants

SevereSuffering — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 08:32:48 +0800

Hi, relatively new samsung pay user. I was thinking of compiling a list of stores that are samsung pay Friendly.
Of course this list may be huge as certain stores have difficulty in acceptance of this technology, depending on the cashier and which branch. But I'm getting bored with farming Jaya grocer, my news and McDs 😂.

Shops that accept Samsung Pay

Makan Places
1. McDonalds - any amount
2. Vivo Pizza - RM30 and above
3. KFC (Some branches, unsure which ones)
4. Juice works - no minimum
5. Sakae Sushi

2. Vsmash kuchai lama (yonex concept store)

Petrol stations that accept Samsung Pay
1. Caltex - Paywave at pump
2. Petronas
3. BHP - Min RM30, MasterCard terminal at pump

Shops that do not accept Samsung Pay/Credit cards 🙁
1. Daiso
2. MrDIY (Jaya shopping center)
3. Texas Chicken
4. BookXcess
5. Padini Outlet
6. Maxis (ss2)
7. Marks and Spencer
8. Melur & Thyme
9. Digi (1Utama)
10. Petronas Sri Muda
11. McDonalds Gunung Rapat
12. AllITHypermarket

If there are specific branches that accept/refuse use of Samsung pay, just post and the list will be updated as needed.
This list reflects shops that I/Other forummers frequent.
Do not forget that there is a list of shops that are stated within the Samsung pay app.

Compilation of merchants will be from both this thread and the Samsung Pay beta thread.
Samsung Pay Beta

The following two messages will be problems associated with the usage of Samsung pay as well as a list of areas where farming may be done easier (eg areas containing multiple friendly merchants/self paying kiosks)

I do not intend for this thread to replace the general discussion of Samsung pay, merely to encourage usage where possible.

Laptop/Convertible for Photo Editing

SevereSuffering — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:59:42 +0800

Looking for a laptop for heavy duty Photo editing.
Have been looking at other forums and I see the Fujitsu T902 being mentioned quite often.
I will be using the computer for photoediting with Photoshop, Corel Painter.
I do not plan to play any games (probably just casual games on and off).

Question is:
1) Is the Fujitsu available? What is the support service like and how much is it?
2) Would it be more worth it to wait for Haswell?

I'm not in a hurry to get a computer as I already have a gaming desktop.
However I would like Photoshop to run smoothly with minimal lag and a digitizer system since I'm used to using Wacom.

Thanks
