$2k budget gaming laptop

[eWinter]

Hi all,

I am moving to my new home, due to space constraint, cannot find a good spot for desktop so going to have to settle on a gaming laptop.

I only have 2k budget, can anyone recommend me a decent gaming laptop?

My laptop will mainly be using for

1) Video streaming for dramas / movie / youtube

2) Light-Medium gaming (Games I played before: WoW, Dragon Nest, Guild Wars 2, some franchise Malaysia games like Xiao ao jiang hu) Hopefully the laptop will also be able to support FPS games like BF4 in at least medium settings smoothly.

Appreciate if any bros/sis can help by providing model of the laptop, price, pros/cons briefly. If possible, where can I get the laptop from ~

Thanks in advance all

Hi PC Dreams,

If I want to buy laptop from you, do I have to physically go down your store? Or there's a channel online which I can go to and place my order.

Kindly advise, Thanks

Currently, we are selling through physical store and online stores through Lazada and Qoo10.

PC Dreams - Lazada Shop
PC Dreams - Qoo10 Shop

However, for Lazada and Qoo10, the variety is limited.
Thus if you unsure of what to purchase, it is advisable for you to come by our showroom at Sim Lim Square #05-47 or Funan #03-20 to check and have a feel of the machines first.

Cheers!

Hi PC Dreams,

I saw the model I want in Lazada which you had recommended me. MSI GE60 2PC, want to ask you if you have 0 percent interest instalment plans for certain credit cards or PC Dreams only accept cash/nets payment?

I'm using MSI GE series too, especially loving the SteelSeries Multicolour keyboard

I think the left side recommended configuration will suit you.

Probably you might want to consider upgrading the SSD to larger space if you can slightly afford more than S$2,000

Yes. We have for citibank and dbs credit cards. Or you can buy from lazada as well. Think they have UOB installments. (not so sure or that, please do try out. )
