Laptop recommendation?

[TimberWolfMk2]

Hi all, need a recommendation for a laptop. Will be mainly using it for work (conference calls/heavy Excel & Word) and Netflix/Youtube, maybe some light gaming. Looking for one that has AMD Ryzen processor, 16Gb RAM, preferably doesn't generate too much heat and not too heavy (<2kg). Budget wise, anything within $1.5k. Currently leaning towards Acer Swift 3 but would welcome other suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Go to eCapitaMalls website, search for S540-13ARE with 16gb ram and 4800u. Apply voucher code FNGOAT and you can get it for 1199. Most value for money imo

This doesn't seem to be available anymore

 

[trenzterra]

Yeah doesn't seem to be available . The normal price is 1,499. Perhaps if you go to best denki etc you could try to negotiate a bit given black Friday etc?

wanted to recommend envy x360 as well but seems like it's sold out for the 16gb model already.

another way would be to buy a ThinkPad from Lenovo's website. think the T14s and X13 has quite good configuration options currently (note: for the X13, avoid the touchscreen. the screen quality is bad).

Bump. Any other good models / deals to recommend?

 

[LiNuxIDIoT]

Bump too. not sure if should just go for s540 or wait for discount.

I think Acer and Asus not bad and consider quite affordable also.

ASUS is OK, but have a bad experience with Acer.

I just bought an IdeaPad Flex 5 (14) - Build Your Own.

I customized some spec and paid 789.92 which i feel is worth it base on your workload description.
