Notebook recommendation

[Reborns]

Hi Guys

any notebook that falls into this category?

8th gen CPU
nVidia MX150
16GB memory
around 1.5kg or less if possible
not too expensive

the only one I saw so far is

Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UN

Is there any other recommendation?
anybody bought this notebook? and hows the performance on normal gaming *Not hardcore or high frame rate

Thx

so far only this Asus that really fit into the bill

Got UX430UN as well if u want bigger screen.

UX331UN got downclocked MX150 though, so you get 10% less performance.

Any recommendation for a JC student need to do project and play some light games. My budget is less than 1300. Wanted to get Dell brand, is it cheaper to buy online? How about the Microsoft office, shall I add-on to the package?
Thanks all

hmm, i personally using MSI GE Raider, it's around 2kg, or you can try the GP version where it's within your budget too.

Got a UX331UN while my friend has a UX430UN.

UX430UN GPU got 73 degree Celsius limit, So it has a lot of stuttering.

UX331UN got no temp problem but the full time power when long session gaming can be a big problem. I only got 1.1ghz on both CPU and GPU, while playing rainbow 6 siege and rocket league. I managed to remove the CPU Power Limit but it is pretty hard/annoying to remove it.

What does "UX430UN GPU got 73 degree Celsius limit" mean?

What does "UX430UN GPU got 73 degree Celsius limit" mean?

At 73 degrees celsius, UX430UN GPU will get thermal throttled. This results in a lot of stuttering while gaming because the clock will jump between 1300mhz and 700mhz.

UX331UN MX150 is downclocked because the MX150 is power limited at 8W.

What does "UX430UN GPU got 73 degree Celsius limit" mean?

Thermal Throttling means that the GPU will reduce the speed (frequency) so that to prevent temperature from raising above 73 degree, which if it does, will cause overheating issues to the device. In a nutshell, it means speed compensation to prevent overheating.

Thanks for clarifying! does getting a laptop base fan help?
