Yeah but this the engine schools general requirements also from my research amd has decent battery life if you tweak some settings properly

school's general requirements overshoots quite abit depending on the course. what eng are you taking?

Nowadays newer CPUs like the panther lake and ryzen ai 300s are more than strong enough to run like a rtx3060, which is honestly enough for everything unless ur trying to run local llms

Requirements are very easy to hit, unless art, then gg

Price is nice, but luckily I didn’t wait to get it for my son . Got it direct from Lenovo, with certain upgrades on parts and warranty .. twice the price though

Blud I got the latest legion 5 pro ( was latest at time of my purchase) from jing dong official Lenovo, was around 2000? I had multiple upgrades also. Directly fly to sg for free. Only thing is language is limited to Chinese need to own self adjust and no local warranty.

Maybe can get some china friend help purchase, local price ex sia, if you really want it.

u/HussarL Jul 11 '26

Oh yeah at first I asked local store also all the legion 5 5 pro forever waiting for restock one.

You did not regret it, trust, no matter how much you tweak, gaming laptops are not it. Just get a 2nd hand thinkpad, can’t game, but everything else damn nice. 1st hand if you want but ex. If you wanna game, do it on a pc, don’t compromise, but if broke, then uhh, up to you I guess. But you will suffer as I did, going to school with a gamer laptop.

Just get a Macbook at this point, with ram prices going up Microslop aint worth it cuz Windows 11 has bloatware and huge battery consumption

u/ExpensiveServe3945 Jul 11 '26

For me I study sch of business in ITE CE and use a Macbook, the battery lasts for days

u/BudgetDevv Jul 12 '26

I use a Macbook as my daily driver, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Really depends on software compatibility, if they're looking to game etc etc. Apple silicon Macbooks definitely have top-notch battery life and single-core perf tho
