Hi! Looking to purchase a laptop during this 11.11 and need some advise!
Complete tech idiot here :s13:

So many options but I have narrowed down to these 3 because of their attractive promo. Feel free to share other models on promo as well!

Prices should be a further ~$50 discount with 11.11 coupon
Lenovo ideapad S340-14API $789

Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-56W9 $873
https://shopee.sg/Acer-Aspire-5-A51...Gen-i5-1135G7-Processor-i.60315503.5757488074

HP ENVY Laptop - 13-ba0005tu $1049

My main concern is if the price difference is worth it based on my usage below.

Basic usage for work, although I require keeping A LOT (15+) of chrome tabs open while working.
Light gaming like SIMs, don't starve, dota2 etc.
Lady user but I rarely bring it out so aesthetic/weight is not a big factor.

Looking forward to your opinions on which to get. Thanks!

is it possible for you to share the links or exact specifications for the laptops you mentioned in the post?

For the lenovo, you might as well head over to lenovo.com.sg, search for ideapad 5 (AMD). Comes with 4500u, 8gb, 512gb, 14" FHD at $899. Use FRONTLINER to get 25% off.

Yea, i think most ppl here will recommend this laptop - ideapad 5 (AMD), BUT if you need your laptop urgently, like within 1month u can get IdeaPad Slim 3i (14) from lenovo/sg website too, the intel i7-1065G7 Processor. (make sure it ship within 2 business day ofc.)
With 2 year premium warranty, its $970 sgd with frontliner code

Dont get the lenovo laptop you linked in shopee, the processor is weaker as compared to the other laptops.

Check if the Lenovo comes with on-site warranty support. If it does get that. You can have your preference when it comes to hardware, but lenovo and dell support in Singapore is fantastic and they will really come down to your place to fix your computer or replace parts if they have to.
