| Upgrading my XPS! Looking for a rock-solid (aluminum unibody-design or equal) laptop for media & gaming. (+/- $1500) (US or EU) Posted: 14 Apr 2018 03:59 AM PDT re-posted for clarification Looking to upgrade/replace a super solid (2013) Dell XPS 15 L521x model. Highly satisfied with it, love the build quality and screen, but I'm having difficulty finding anything more recent that has the same quality. I don't care about weight or thinness, but I really want something reliable, sleek, & durable, with a solid-milled unibody and Gorilla Glass display, or something equally as solid. Unwilling to accept plastic hinges and keyboard flex. Looking for something for daily use, listening to music and watching films, some moderate gaming. Total budget and country of purchase: Approx. $1500 USD +/- depending, maximum I'm willing to spend is $1900. Plan to buy it in the United States when visiting friends. Can purchased in EU if needed. (But stuff's expensive here. :/) Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Excellent build quality, good battery life, most futureproof specs. How important is weight and thinness to you? Unimportant, prefer durability and build quality. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? 14-15 inch. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Some light gaming - Skyrim, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, MGSV, and older games. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Would like to be able to play Witcher 3 / Doom / Fallout 4 / Dishonored 2 on Medium-High to High specs with consistent good performance. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good build quality and solid feel. Strong preference for aluminum or magnesium unibody designs and Gorilla Glass. Prefer non-touchscreens. Would like decent speaker performance if possible. Optical drive desireable but not necessary. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Have been looking at the newer Dell XPS Series, the Zenbook Pro UX550 (customized by HIDevolution to help with the thermal issues), or maybe a Gigabyte Aero 15. Prioritizing build quality/durability with a balance of gaming performance and good battery life. (Nvidia 1050 or 1050ti is okay, etc.) A company with a good customer service reputation would be a nice bonus. Sad that the newer XPS models are prioritizing thinness over a heavier aluminum design and getting rid of the optical drive, but still consider them. submitted by /u/lost_goth [link] [comments] |
| Programming student student looking for <$1100 laptop (USA) Posted: 13 Apr 2018 06:38 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Under $1100; 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. 2-in-1 form factor isn't important, battery life >6 hours with moderate use, I'm open to getting a 7th-gen HQ intel processor if the value for the price is good How important is weight and thinness to you? under 6lb (2.75kg) Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Anything between 13.3" and 15.6" Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No video editing and no AAA game titles (I would be fine with Intel UHD graphics if it's a much cheaper option), Programming IDEs (Eclipse, Android Studio, Intellij, etc.) If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Nothing more intense than Minecraft or some older retro games with @ least 60 fps Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Dual-channel ram at least 16gb or 8gb with options to self-install new memory afterward, at least 1 Thunderbolt 3 port, at least 1 USB 3.0 port, windows precison driver touchpad, backlit keyboard, low fan-noise, IPS display Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm unwilling to get a Dell XPS 13. I just returned an XPS 13 because of the multiple heating and fan issues it had, so I'd like to avoid taking that risk again. submitted by /u/julesj98 [link] [comments] |
| Sold my bitcoin to get a video editing/gaming laptop. Which one though? (U.S. $1500-$2000) Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:18 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Around $1500-$2000. May be willing to go a bit higher if justified 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'm mainly looking for something to edit footage with, some of which is in 4K. Color accuracy, functionality, and SD card slot are pretty important, and I'd really like some pretty decent battery life (3+ hours regular use). So I guess I would pick best specs/battery life. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not super important, but I am pretty mobile so the lighter/thinner the better as long as it doesn't sacrifice a whole lot of functionality Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.6" or less Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. All of the above! Editing some 4K footage using Adobe PP & AE, possibly some 3D motion design, definitely CAD. I haven't gotten into gaming yet (currently a grad student with no life lol), but it will happen eventually. Will probably end up with an HTC Vive at some point. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No idea yet. Don't need to overdo it here, especially if I can upgrade 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)? Accurate colors, battery life, dual storage (especially if I can get an nvme ssd), gtx 1060 (trying not to go higher for now), and it would be super cool to get the new i7-8750H! Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I know there are a lot to decide between here, as most high end gaming laptops sort of fit this category. I've just been at it for like 3 days now, and every time I think I've settled on one, something pops up that says it's horrible. I'm currently between msi ge models, sager NPxxxx, and Acer Predator, though I'm fully open to suggestions (Someone please convince me not to get the aero 15x...lol) submitted by /u/iamuperformanceart [link] [comments] |

Anyone have any real world experience with it? If it's 7hrs or above I'll problably get it. submitted by /u/thedoomturtle9 [link] [comments] |
| Affordable Laptop that can act as a drawing tablet? [Win] Posted: 13 Apr 2018 08:04 PM PDT I'm an indie game developer currently working in a part time business that sometimes has anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of quiet time. Time I can do some programming on the side. Any laptop can be used to make the caliber of games I work on but the problem is that I can't bring a drawing tablet and set it on the side to draw. I need a laptop that has a screen which can double as a drawing tablet. Are there solutions that are NOT Surface Pro? Something reasonable. I could always try to finance something if anything. submitted by /u/TheConceptBoy [link] [comments] |

| Architect looking for a Laptop for Revit that can be financed - Canada Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:32 PM PDT Hello r/SuggestALaptop As the title mentions, my old laptop from college is on the brink of death, and with a few potential jobs coming up, I need to get a new laptop ASAP. The tricky thing here is that because I'm saving for my wedding in August, I'd really like a laptop that I can finance, at the very least for 6 months. To make it even harder, it has to be 0% (religious convinctions.) Specifically, I am located in Brampton, Ontario. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Budget: Roughly $2500-$3500 in Ontario, Canada but willing to eclipse it if it is worth it/finance terms exist. MUST HAVES: -i7 Processor (preferably 8th Gen) or better -32 GB Ram or more -Min. 250GB SSD + min. 500GB HDD -Quadro P860 (P1000 preferred) or equivalent/better Graphics card (GTX1060 is fine.) PREFERABLE: -17"+ screen -4K Display -Simple form factor (I hate the gaming laptop forms, but alas, I know I'll have to bite the bullet on this one) -8+ hours of battery life -Optical Drive -USB Type C charging. Weight, Thinness, Colour don't matter to me but if an option exists, that's great. The programs I'll mostly be running on it are Revit, AutoCad, occasionally 3dsMax, and very light photoshop. If you guys have any suggestions in terms of specs based on that information, please let me know as the specs listed are based on my understanding of what I require for the job. Counting on you Reddit, thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Miahs93 [link] [comments] |
| Are either of these <$500 laptops better than the rest? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:29 PM PDT Hı all, I'm looking for a budget laptop under $500 Australian to take to family overseas, because even the budget ones aren't very cheap over there and given the price it's just for day to day usage. You know, the internet, streaming, MS word etc. I don't know much about cpu's, so would you guys be able to recommend either of these few? The most important thing is processing and multitasking power. As long it isn't slow, that's the main thing. I'd really appreciate some input. There are also a couple of Hp i3's which I haven't listed but they're dual core and some of these are quad core so I didn't think they were better but I'm probably wring which is why I'm here to begin with Total budget and country of purchase: Approx $500 Australian dollars 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. Specially speed and multi tasking. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not a deal breaker Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. About the 15" range Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No just day to day usage. Streaming, Ms Office, internet etc If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play?

Actually I am now trying DELL 7577 with 1060 Max-q and i7 and it is doing pretty well... But I can't stand the screen, it really bothers me. I can get something more expensive if it has a better screen AND still have the solid, cool and silent build as 7577. I heard that Helios 300 may be the thing but the screen isn't much better, is that true? Or does it lack something mentioned before? Also I do not care for the design, only performance. Other than that, I can afford something more expensive. Cheers! submitted by /u/rejczel [link] [comments] |

| Looking for a portable screen for laptop Posted: 13 Apr 2018 07:51 PM PDT I have a Windows Tablet (Asus Transformer Pro - similar to a Surface 4) with only a single USB-C port. I've been looking at one of the USB-C portable monitors to carry around, like the Asus ZenScreen. It's great because it folds up to tablet size and can power off a USB-C port. However, since my laptop only has one USB-C port, how can I also plug in the laptop power AND use the screen? Are there any portable screens that have USB-C Power passthrough? Or any dongle that provides this in the middle of a data channel? I haven't been able to find anything and I've spent the last hour or so on newegg and google searching for "USB-C passthrough portable monitor" and "USB-C Power passthrough adapter", etc. I'm hoping I've just missed something. Help me find a portable screen for my laptop! submitted by /u/HockeyCoachHere [link] [comments] |

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. If you're looking at a company like Chuwi, or Cube/ALLDOCUBE. I've had both of these companies before - the Chuwi had a poor build, and the Cube overheated after just a couple months of owning it. Voyo (another Chinese company) seems good though. If you're looking at any of these Asian companies, make sure the stylus supports pressure sensitivity - my friend owned one that said it had an active pen, but it had no pressure sensitivity, and was simply bluetooth. Also, I'd prefer the device to be relatively up to date, so unfortunately, none of the pre-2013 Thinkpad devices would really work for me. submitted by /u/GermBurglar007 [link] [comments] |

| Intel v nvidia graphics Posted: 13 Apr 2018 02:52 PM PDT Hi, I haven't bought a PC or laptop in about 10 years and haven't kept up with how things have been progressing. Now I'm looking around for a Thinkpad or a Yoga 2-in1. The ones I'm interested in come only with Intel graphics. I plan to do some basic video editing on it. So I'm wondering what people think of Intel graphics cards versus dedicated nvidia cards from back in the day? To be specific I've been using a VAIO with an NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M GPU 1GB video memory, 4gb ram, Core i7 processor for the last 6 or 7 years. The Thinkpad/yogas I'm considering come with these graphics "cards": Thinkpad x230t: Intel HD Graphics 4000 Yoga Thinkpad 260: Intel® HD Graphics 520 Yoga x380: Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 620 I'm not expecting miracles out of this hardware but I'm just wondering how they'd compare with my current Nvidia card. cheers submitted by /u/TheMidwichCucks [link] [comments] |

| HP Omen 15 vs. Dell Inspiron 7577 Posted: 13 Apr 2018 06:03 AM PDT Hey! Currently trying to find a new laptop for Gaming/Animation purposes and these two seem to be within my budget and pretty good for their price. Not sure which one to choose so I'm wondering if you guys and gals could tell me about the intricacies of the two, and if there are other within that budget range that you could recommend instead if you think there is something better. Cheers! submitted by /u/Hoduhdo [link] [comments] |
