Lenovo V15 Gen 2 (Intel)

Under the hood sits an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, paired with Iris Xe integrated graphics and 8GB of soldered DDR4 RAM running at 3200MHz. That's enough for office work, browsing and light multitasking, though the soldered RAM means you're stuck with 8GB for the life of the laptop. Storage comes from a 256GB M.2 SSD, which is on the smaller side if you're planning to store a lot of local files. The 15.6-inch FHD screen uses a TN panel at 250 nits, functional for everyday tasks but not built for color-accurate work or outdoor use.

Lenovo V15 Gen 2 (Intel) price in Malaysia starts from RM3499. At 1.7kg it's not the lightest 15.6-inch laptop around, but it covers the basics: USB-C 3.2, HDMI, dual USB-A ports and an optional RJ45 for wired networking.

Battery life figures aren't listed, so factor that into your comparison if all-day use matters. The 720p camera includes a physical privacy shutter, and dual-array mics plus stereo speakers with Dolby Audio round out the everyday features. It ships with Windows 10 Home and a 1-year depot warranty.
