    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Best specs; 2 in 1 would be nice.Looking for longevity in this one as it is for a college student.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Relatively important as the owner (my sister) will be walking all around campus with it, as long as it does not compromise build quality.

If possible, she would also like to game on it from time to time. Her favorite games are the Assassin's creed games and Bioshock infinite, and the laptop she currently has runs assassin's creed Syndicate and bioshock well. Looking to upgrade from this if possible.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Assassin's creed odyssey, Bioshock infinite, Sims 4

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good keyboard, large storage (either big ssd or hybrid build),reliable build quality, and if possible with these, a touch screen

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The Lebanese market is very similar to the US and UK markets, if that simplifies things :D

    Thank you for your suggestions!

    Laptop for software engineering student, <=800€, no gaming, France

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:23 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    Up to 800€, will be purchasing from France. I'm willing to pour in more money but only if there's good justifications.

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

    I will most of the time be able to plug the laptop in, however I would still like at least a 4h battery life.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    While a light laptop would be a plus, it's not really important for me and I would not want to pay extra for it.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.

    I'm planning to run only Arch on it, no need for a dual boot.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

    Around 15 inches would be good. I'll be spending a lot of time on it and I have bad eyesight so I do not want something too small.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

    No.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

    Nope

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    A good keyboard is essential, I've tried smaller laptops but didn't like how cramped my hands felt. There should be no need for an optical drive, or any other bonus features. Furthermore I would like to have a good screen quality, 1080p is plenty.

    An SSD would be perfect, and there is no need for there be a lot of storage.

    Something reliable that I will be able to use throughout my studies and further down the line would be awesome.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

    Comfort is a big thing for me. I'll be using this laptop a lot in the coming years, so a good keyboard and screen are essential.

    Thank you

    Laptop for work (programming) and light gaming

    Posted: 02 Nov 2019 03:49 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $1500-2000 US

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. -fill here, remove dashes-

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.X in

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. no editing. Should be able to run VMs though. (I will upgrade RAM on my own)

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I'm rarely gaming, now most SC2. I'd like the new laptop should be able to run VR, though and may run some machine learning algs in the future.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Excellent keyboard is very important to me (typing on a Thinkpad W520 now). Screen is important in terms of using outdoor and color accuracy (in this order).

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Would like more than 6 hours of battery life. Support for 64GB of RAM, 2 PCIE SSD slots, should not have numpad (important). Ideally, global warranty. I was looking for Thinkpad X1 Extreme/P1 gen 2, MAG 15, but don't let these influence your suggestions. To summarize I am looking for the best best bang for buck with excellent ergonomics and build quality.

    I can't decide between two Thinkpads. T495 and T490, specifically if I need the thunderbolt port or not.

    Posted: 02 Nov 2019 02:05 AM PDT

    I'm dead set on getting a Thinkpad. I live in New Zealand and a lot of laptops are really overpriced at local stores and shipping costs a leg and a half. Thinkpads are low shipping and on sale they seem decently priced.

    I can't decide between the T495 and T490. T495 has an AMD CPU which runs slightly faster than the T490 and is $200 cheaper. T490 has an Intel CPU which has thunderbolt.

    I want to know what everybody uses their thunderbolt port on and if it's worth a lesser CPU.

    Edit: I plan on getting the laptop during Cyber Monday. The reason I'm not getting a T480 is because it's not available on the Lenovo website and second hand places I know will be selling it at only a slightly reduced price (around $1800 NZD)

    Early Black Friday deals on Amazon with a full RTX 2070 under 1300$

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 06:04 PM PDT

    Amazon is having a 700$ discount on the Asus ROG Strix Scar II it has an older but still 6 core I7-8750H, a full 115W RTX 2070, 16GB of RAM probably one stick which I highly recommend that you add another one for dual channel performance, 512GB SSD and a very decent build quality however the laptop runs hot and loud so be prepared for some tweaking and a pair of headphones for gaming .

    Now if you want something with longer battery life for around the same price range then the Aero 15 classic is also 300$ off but it has a GTX 1660Ti instead of the RTX 2070 on the rog .

    Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2 or MSI Prestige 15?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:37 PM PDT

    Both have the same graphics cards, similarly spec cpu's, similar displays, similar weight, similar battery capacity. X1 extreme has a slight advantage in the port selection, keyboard, and build quality, but I can get the prestige 15 for at least $100 cheaper even when the X1 extreme is on sale through an affinity Lenovo website. What would you guys recommend? Main use being CAD, programming, occasional video editing, music production, multitasking, and light gaming.

    Hey Reddit! I am looking for a laptop that well is a all around good machine.

    Gaming Laptop on a Budget?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:03 PM PDT

    Budget would be around $1000 ish. Since I have limited space, I decided to get a laptop instead of building my own PC. I'm sorta undecided between Helios 300 and Nitro 5. I've watched several videos on youtube comparing one from the other. I'm leaning a bit more to the Helios 300 but maybe you can change my mind? if you guys have any other suggestions, I'd gladly take it.

    Laptop should be able to run MHW, PUBG, Apex, LOL smoothly on high or med.

    MSI GL75 Raider 9SD-072 from Costco review

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:17 PM PDT

    I wanted to make this post since there aren't any reviews of this SKU from any of the big sites, possibly because it's a Costco-only item.

    Link at Costco.com

    MSRP $1299.99, sale at $999.99, with taxes $1073.11

    This laptop was purchased on October 9, 2019, backordered and was shipped on Oct 24.

    The delivery was fulfilled by UPS and I can safely say, fuck UPS. They also fucked up the Costco packaging box but luckily MSI's box was unharmed.

    Unboxing album

    Part Spec
    CPU i7-9750H, 6c/12t, 2.6-4.5GHz
    GPU GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
    RAM 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2666
    Display 17.3", 1920x1080p, 144Hz, 3ms, IPS
    Storage 256 NVMe M.2 SSD and 1TB 5400RPM HDD
    Power pack and cable 739g (1.63 lb)
    Laptop w HDD 2546g (5.6 lb)

    The first thing I did was to replace the HDD with a TC Sunbow 3D 1TB SSD. The WD Blue originally inside will be used as an external.

     

    One immediate complaint I have is that the space between the keys and the chassis is kind of annoying when it's there literally just to allow the keyboard lightning to come through.

     

    The back cover is quite difficult to take off compared to, say, my 2009 Thinkpad W500. I'm not sure if laptops now are just meant to be hard to open up. There are 13 screws to remove, then you need to slowly pry the cover open - I used a guitar pick. Then there are 2 screws holding the drive cage to the mobo and 2 screws on the cage to the drive. There is also a spare M.2 PCIe slot. Unfortunately both RAM slots are taken up by 8GB sticks; some other MSI models use 1x16GB instead of 2x8GB.

    Putting the cover back together was a bastard, so be warned

     

    The laptop itself comes with a Windows 10 Home, which is just annoying. I replaced it immediately with W10 LTSC 2019 and began benchmarking.

    Benchmarks were done with the laptop sitting on a CoolerMaster pad not plugged in, just to give elevation and space for the vents. This is also in a room climate-controlled at 23C.At least 10 minutes of idle time was given between each test to cool down.

    Benchmark album

    CrystalDiskMark on the included WD NVMe SSD isn't 970 EVO levels but is clearly better than a regular SATA SSD.

    Most of the GPU benchmarks seem about right.

    Userbenchmark

    timespy

    firestrike

    sky diver

    night raid

    GPU idles at 38C, and hits about 69C at 100% load, which is pretty good.

    However, the CPU idles at 49-51C, and hits 80C by 30% usage, and throttles at 95C about 20 seconds into Cinebench R20. That boy ain't right. At high temps the fans also get quite fast.

    So I decided to repaste.

    Heatsink removed

    The heatsinks, heat pipes, and fans are all a single unit held to the motherboard/chassis with 11 screws (2 on each fan, 4 on GPU, 3 on CPU), 2 ribbon connectors, and the connector to motherboard power that's glued on top one of the fans. As you can see, they didn't do the best job in the world. I'm also extremely confused why the CPU VRMs get thermal pads while GPU VRMs get thermal paste - and it's a different thermal paste compared to the gray stuff on the dies. The white shit is extremely annoying to remove and took a lot of elbow grease with Kimwipes. I replaced it all with some 3-month old Arctic Silver MX-4.

     

    Putting it all back together miraculously dropped my CPU idle temps to 39C which is very acceptable. It still rose up into the 90s at full load so a bit of fiddling with Throttlestop (-75mV on both core and cache) with turbo disabled let my CPU take 100% load at 70C, at the cost of about 150 points in Cinebench.

    CSGO gives a very comfortable 217 FPS in FPSBenchmark, Doom 2016 on High syncs at 144 FPS even in open area fights.

     

    In conclusion, good performance with a couple of tweaks at a great price point.Considering Costco's 90 day return policy and 2 year warranty, I'd say this was a pretty safe buy.

    If anybody has other tests they'd like to see, let me know and I'll update this post.

    New laptop

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:17 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. Im looking for a good laptop recommendation. I currently have an eye out for the xps15. But just want to see some other good options since I'm not good at reading specs and stuff like that. Or if the XPS is even a good option.

    Laptop is going to be for personal use. General browsing and video streaming. Probably prefer one that can handle some medium level of gaming. I only play league but my bf plays some random games from time to time. I don't have a desktop so I would really prefer something that will last longer than two years. Prefer something that's under 3 pounds.

    Looking for a new thin and light laptop

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:13 PM PDT

    context: currently I am in my last year of high school and I am looking to buy a laptop that will last me from now till the end of university so for like the next 4-5 years. In university, I will need to able to use the laptop for programming and taking notes, etc.

    My budget is around $1500 cad so around $1200 usd

    I need the laptop to be thin and light and good on battery and I dont want to sacrifice much in terms of power.

    Currently, I have looked at the huawei matebook 13 with the 8th gen i5 and intel 620 graphics and the asus zenbook 14 with the i7 and nvidia mx150. I also considered the dell xps 13 but it is pretty much impossible to find a new one in that price range in Canada.

    Other things that I plan on doing on a laptop are occasional light photoshop work or other adobe applications, surfing the web, possibly light gaming. I can compromise on the gaming part but it'd be nice if I could.

    I am open to any suggestions thank you.

    edit: found a razer blade stealth for $1200 cdn considering that

    Looking for a 13" laptop for my wife, who is a teacher. USA, up to $1,500

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:01 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $1,500 or less, USA

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Best specs for the money. Battery life is important but anything over 4 hours should be fine. Standard laptop form factor is fine.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Portability is important, but not paramount. It will be used on a desk 90% of the time, but she'd still like something easy to slip in a bag or use on the couch when necessary.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. She currently uses a 13.3" laptop and likes the size. So 14" or less would be preferred.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Not really. Most common programs are Chrome, MS Office, and Spotify. Occasionally light photo editing. She's a teacher, so she mostly uses her computer for lesson plans and grading, plus personal web surfing/shopping/etc.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Hardly any gaming

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? My primary goal is to get something that will last 5+ years, and I'm OK with spending money to future-proof. So reliability is very important, as is getting ahead in specs enough that we won't need to upgrade anytime soon.

    A good, full-sized keyboard is a must, as is a good trackpad. She likes her Samsung trackpad and is also familiar with the Dell and Asus ones and thinks they are fine. She hates the HP trackpads for some reason.

    A number pad would be nice to have, but probably not something that can be had in a sub-15-inch form factor. She currently uses a wireless external numpad.

    Touch screen, pen input, convertible form factor, etc. are kind of gimmicky and not necessary for her use case.

    Fast wifi would also be nice. We are getting fiber internet (finally!) this year, so we'd like to be able to take advantage of it.

    Since we're future-proofing, I'd like a good selection of ports. Ideally at least 2 USB-C for the future and 2 USB 3.1 ports for backwards compatibility. A network cable port would also be nice since wifi can sometimes drop out.

    Also, and external monitor port. Currently we use HDMI, but we can be flexible on this point as long as it's easy to get an adapter.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm looking to replace my wife's aging 2012 Samsung ultrabook as a Christmas present. Trying to get a sense of the market and figure out what would be the best laptop for her!

    Her current laptop has served well for the last seven years, but it's getting sluggish despite upgrading to an SSD and adding more RAM. I want to buy something that she'll love now, and will keep her going for the next seven years!

    On the Look for Light Video Editing Laptop - Cheap

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 06:51 PM PDT

    Hello!

    I am looking for a laptop that is (preferably) smaller than 15.6 inches diagonally, 14 ish preferably. I would like to do some light gaming (Smite possibly, Overwatch, Paladins, etc.), video editing on the laptop as well. One of the more important requirements are a longer battery life, ===I am currently using an Acer E 15 or E5 or something like that. It is pretty nice but it is kinda huge and the battery hardly lasts over 3 hours. It also randomly shuts off at times which is super cash money,=== anyways: The thinner the better, but not a requirement. I guess the better the processor the better. I am not sure how RAM, Drive, or Memory directly affect the performance of a laptop - nor what the better graphics cards are (especially in laptops). Hopefully someone can suggest a laptop that is lower than $1000, the lower it is the better, kinda working on a budget. I know that it is a tall order but I am hoping that there is some gem out there that I am missing or overlooking.

    Thank you for your help!

    Cheapest laptop option for running Photoshop decently as well coding programs?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:05 PM PDT

    Country: USA

    I had an old bulky rending laptop that was about 6 years old, and a biblical downpour hit my college yesterday and destroyed the motherboard.

    I went to school for animation and game art for about 2 years and was still working on character sheets every day in between classes. I'll need something light that I can use to keep making art in Photoshop/FireAlpaca, as well as any program that may come up in my current Computer Science path. So far I've only needed notepad++ and a command prompt.

    I want a windows Operating System, preferably 10. (Will stomach 8/8.1 if that affects price).

    People have been recommending a Surface Pro but I already have a nice modern Wacom Tablet, so why dish out $1000 for a function I already have?

    Finally, price point. I already have a rig at home for rendering, so I just want the cheapest option that will run Photoshop very well. I have, at times gotten as high as 100 layers so I need it to handle Photoshop well. If $1000+ is what I need to shell out then fine, but 500-800 would be preferable. (I'm very new to buying laptops so I don't know if I'm asking for a ludicrously low or high price for a laptop).

    Thanks in advance for whatever answers you guys give, and also thanks for dealing with my laptop newbishness if I say anything wrong or stupid.

    Tl;dr, Cheapest Windows laptop possible that can run Photoshop well.

    Laptop for Digital Art+Work+School+. Looking for something with great color accuracy!

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:22 PM PDT

    Total budget and country of purchase:

    Under $1,300 USD. United States

    Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

    Best specs for the money, but good battery life is good to have. will be plugged in most of the time so it's not essential.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?** I do carry the laptop in to work several times a week, so prefer something on the lighter side.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.

    Windows

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

    Anything 11.5+

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

    Needs to be able to run Photoshop, Clip studio paint well

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

    Don't really do any gaming

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    I'd like to find something with a touch-screen. Super, super important that the color is accurate and that the computer works well with a Wacom Cintique Pro. Last laptop was laggy beyond belief, and the color was totally off so my art looked wonky as hell :(

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

    Again, color accuracy and handling programs like Photoshop and features like pen pressure are some of my most important features! I'd also like a good amount of memory.

    Gaming laptop $1500~$2000

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 06:54 AM PDT

    Hi all, I'm looking for a gaming laptop this holiday season.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $2,000 max, preferably closer to $1,500. USA.
    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. I want specs. Battery life is a plus. Don't care about 2 in 1.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not a huge deal.
    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows (professional version is a plus). Good Linux support is a big plus.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Either '15 or '17.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Gaming.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Nothing specific really. I want 60+ FPS on high/ultra on virtually any new game in 2020.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Must have 16+ GB RAM or an open RAM slot and easy upgrade. I won't want to buy a new laptop for a while (probably 3+ years) so I'd like high build quality. I'd like 144hz+ for the monitor. I'd like a big SSD, but open to the idea of getting a small one and adding a bigger second one myself.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've been thinking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S3L9LPT?pf_rd_p=183f5289-9dc0-416f-942e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=R3WK34EEWCR95PV6DRAS (Probably the 2060 model. Feeling like +$300 for the 2070 wouldn't be worth it but maybe if there are good deals that come up.) Was wondering if anyone has better ideas. Thanks!
