Is xmg a good brand to buy in uk? Also please warn me against brands that have low tgp gpu like msi in their laptops. Don't want him ending up buying a 100w 3070 for 2000gbp.
He still has 1.5 year of his bachelors so its a long time.
I have told him to wait till march but I think he wants to order soon so he can get it for this semester.

Is this worth the price? Also is the ram upgradable and what is the gpu tgp?

Is sager tongfang like xmg or is it clevo? Which is better?
My uncle has associates in the USA so he will mostly ask them to buy and bring along with them.
I have suggested my cousin to wait till around march and let the new gen laptops appear on sites like newegg and then order from US.
He is getting the m1 max config for 250k there. It is about a 1.5lacs difference from here. He has an ipad and iphone so it is natural for him to stay in the apple ecosystem.
Though he needs to run solidworks and other similar applications and windows laptops have begun to offer great value in regard to specs.

My friend regularly buys his SAGER laptops from here :Custom Gaming Computers, Laptops & Notebooks | XOTIC PC

How are their own xoticpc units? They are pretty affordable. I had a chat with them and they have suggested msi as there is a service centre in Warwickshire. Their warranty is available world over but to avail service we have to send it to closest manufacturer facilities.
They have already listed msi creator z 12th gen units and are hoping to receive ryzen 6000 by feb end.
I checked out some pcspecialist qhd laptops but I have no knowledge of their performance and qualities.
The only reason of considering buying from UK is that they have rule for manufacturers to provide services for upto 6yrs.
Though buying in pounds will force him to bring down his 2500 usd budget.
His semester ends in april so should he choose from pro art studio book and creator z16 or wait a month or so more?

Anyone have a recommendation for a good Laptop bag (not backpacks), preferably leather bags. I have seen a few online from Hammonds Flycatcher, HiLEDER, Wildhorn etc but not sure on the quality, and reviews are pretty mixed.

i bought twice from local shops for my elder brother when he couldn't decide in a similar situation. it was locally manufactured and sold; priced around 3500 and 4500 (bigger with more pockets). he used it too roughly for few years witout any care and then asked me to get another one and then 4500 was bought. he was too satisfied with both.

I'm not keen on backpacks. Already got one that came with my laptop, is a good one though. Was thinking more on the lines of a formal office look bag.

Did look at a few local shops in my area. About 4-6K, but the quality of work did not match the price.
I am very cautious about anything that I buy and take good care of it. Previously had a laptop bag from VIP which lasted me well over a decade. Only gave it away because my new laptop was too big for it.

there are a lot of people involved in leather work in my city & nearby cities so if checked at proper place, we get very good quality leather items.
