Total budget and country of purchase: $3,000 CAD 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 hand down, I'll never game without an outlet :P How important is weight and thinness to you? Not super important, but tbh I never really was fond of the size of alienware laptops. My cousins have them, and they're quite bulky and unappealing to me. (Not a deciding factor regardless) Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows silly Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Probably larger as I'd be using it primarily while travelling. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Pure gams If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? VR, fc5, everything really :P 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 touchpad is always a bonus. I need at least 512gb ssd, and preferably hdd on top of that. Or just balls to the wall 1tb ssd. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've been looking around a bit. I really like the sound of the razer blade pro ($2,549.99) but I'm wondering if there's similar spec'd laptops for a cheaper price (Such as this MSI for $1,549.99 which appears to have similar specs minus the 2tb harddrive. Makes me feel like I'm paying $1k for a tb hard drive lmao.) My previous gaming laptop was a Sager and I absoultely loved that thing. It's still sitting under my television as my couch-console, regardless of the fact its 8 years old! Thanks guys! U r great. submitted by /u/Andrew1431 [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a desktop replacement, budget of about $1000 (US) Posted: 15 Apr 2018 01:27 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase:
As per title, around $1000ish. 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.
Most important would probably be performance and reliability, which I guess falls under specs. How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not important. It won't be moving around much. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.
Has to be Windows. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
I like having a big screen with a high resolution, but I don't want to pay too much of a premium if it's going to result in diminishing returns. So basically, bigger is better, but I can compromise here. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I do some gaming. Nothing crazy intensive, but I would like to have the option of livestreaming my games, especially my D&D games (which I run on Roll20.net). If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Roll20, as noted above. Other than that, nothing specific, but probably nothing more intensive than, like, the Batman Arkham games at low/medium settings. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
My extra monitor uses a VGA cable so I suppose I need a VGA port. Must have a decent keyboard with a proper 10-key numpad for data entry. Built-in microphone is a major plus so I don't need to wear a headset all the time (I don't know if there are any laptops that don't come with those these days, but hey). Would like to have a built-in optical drive; I don't really have space on my desk for an external one. I mentioned reliability above, so, sure, reliable build quality, and a decent warranty couldn't hurt either. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

| Looking for a laptop with a 1050 or 1050 Ti for photo and video editing at about €1200-1500, any suggestions? Posted: 15 Apr 2018 12:33 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Around €1200, but my budget is flexible, I'm buying in Sweden. 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, screen and build quality for the money, don't care about the battery life or weight as long as it doesn't weigh like 10 pounds and have a 30 minute battery life, since it will be plugged in a majority of the time.

Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14-15 inches Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Adobe Lightroom, Premiere, Ableton Live and rarely Photoshop. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I don't mind running games at lower settings Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good screen is the most important part, I'm fine with 1080p as long as the brightness is good and the colors are accurate. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. There's been a whole sea of new gaming laptops hitting the market lately, but most of them have crappy screens which is the most important factor for me. I would love something similar to the Gigabyte Aero 15 but it seems like they only come with the GTX 1060 which is out of my budget and the Sabre 15 cuts too many corners on the build quality to keep the price low, judging from the reviews I've seen. Are there any laptops that are similar to the Gigabyte Aero 15, but with a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti? Or are there any mobile workstations like the Thinkpad P series I should look at? submitted by /u/Zalbu [link] [comments] |

| Cheap laptop that allows upgrading Posted: 14 Apr 2018 10:18 PM PDT Im in engineering grad school and need to get a new laptop. Would mostly need to run things like Matlab/Mathcad and Structural Analysis programs. I rarely have to use AutoCAD or anything 3D. Most of my modeling is 2D but involves large data manipulation and program multitasking. Dont know computers that well but im guessing a fast processor and 8+ ram is more important to me than a great gpu. Problem is my budget is only $300-$450. At that price I know I will not find anything that would actually be worth it. So Im thinking to get a good quality but cheap model laptop that, over time, I can build up and improve performance. Only really talking about adding a lot more RAM and a new gpu. So would still need the laptop to have a solid processor. Okay with buying certified refurbished in some cases.

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 07:20 PM PDT I've narrowed down to these two laptops. * Acer https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-i5-8250U-GeForce-E5-576G-5762/dp/B075FLBJV7 * Asus https://flash.newegg.com/Product/9SIA4P056D7299 Im looking for some insight on which laptop would be a better buy. They seem extremely similar, the main difference is it seems like the acer has a newer i5-8250U vs the asuss older i7-6700HQ. Video cards and RAM look equal for them. i will use it mostly for 3D modeling and running 3D printing software. I would like to be able to do occasional gaming like fortnite. At the time i posted this the Acer is $600 and the Asus is $590. Short list of things im curious of, * i5-8250U vs i7-6700HQ * Any general insigh on Acer vs Asus * not sure if it matters but Newegg vs Amazon * The case of my current Samsung is cracked at the hinge, hence why im looking for a new laptop. All responses are appreciated. Thanks! submitted by /u/natspiral [link] [comments] |
| Looking for general purpose/light gaming laptop in Canada, budget: $700. Posted: 14 Apr 2018 02:37 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Total budget: $700 (a bit over is fine). Country: Canada. 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 specifications for money. I'll mostly be using it in places with a battery source, so battery life is a non-issue. Don't care at all about form. How important is weight and thinness to you? Neither weight nor form are important. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Indifferent about screen size. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No CAD/video editing/photo editing. I do plan on playing games on Steam occasionally, but nothing intensive. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Being able to run games like FFXII or Nier: Automata at medium settings would be nice, but given the strict budget, it isn't a big deal. Generally the games I'm into don't have high requirements, nor do I care about framerate all that much. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable build quality is important. Hard drive space is somewhat important, I'd like around 1TB if possible. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm considering this laptop right now (Asus VivoBook X555QA). Do you think I should buy it, or look for something else? submitted by /u/Dtecnolife [link] [comments] |

I'd like to be able to run Dark Souls 3 at a minimum of 30 fps, and also games like League, Skyrim, Overwatch with decent fps Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Preferably with a good quality keyboard, anything else is optional Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Overall, since I'm on a low budget, I'm not looking for a beast pc or anything, just something I can use to get by, since my laptop has a crappy integrated video card, I can barely run any games on it. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Deathace102 [link] [comments] |
