actually if can wait, get y540 in May..

With student discount really unbeatable.. Why not upgrade to 144hz panel?

I suggest get 1 tb HD or 2tb.. Then buy a nvme ssd and 8gb ram from Newegg / Amazon.. Far cheaper

+200 for 8gb ram is carrot head

my budget was only $1.4-1.5.

So when I compared the specs of G3 to Y530, I thought its worth the additional $150. Is it not?

Specs is decent but the question is the LCD display that will be shipped with the unit.
Is it the 144hz one or the standard one.

I asked the sales person. Dont think mine is the 144

The 144 is only for

15.6" (396mm) FHD (1920x1080), anti-glare, LED backlight, IPS,
300 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio, 72% gamut, 144Hz (GTX 1050 Ti models only)

not sure if I can still use shopback. I need to ask the telesales person cause she said I call in so got extra discount. Still can get shopback so it will be even cheaper

Ram 8gb meaning: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM?

so you maen to say buy the other 8GB RAM and SSD from amazon, do I need to install myself? I noob leh or its external SSD if there is even such a thing? RAM how to install?

If this is the specs, I rather you don't waste your time. Even with a 1080p high refresh rate screen (144Hz), the graphic card will not be able to crank out frame rates that matches the panel. In fact, this graphic card will likely struggle to maintain 60 FPS in newer games.
