| [US] $1,200 Budget and 13 inch to 15 inch screen Posted: 30 May 2018 11:48 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: My budget is $1,200 USD and I am in the U.S. 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 honestly do not mind if it is a 2 in 1 or not, but I do prefer a good battery life as I will be using this for my classes. I would also like some fairly strong specs, but I understand that my budget won't allow for top of the line specs. I just want to make sure that the laptop won't freeze and can display a glare-free and bright display. Preferably over 1080p. How important is weight and thinness to you? I want it to be lightweight as I will be carrying it around campus all day long and it needs to be reasonably thin so that it can fit in my backpack and won't get stares for size in the classroom. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows OS, but I want a laptop that will let me use Chrome as a browser and Microsoft Word. Sounds strange, but I know that a Surface would not let me use Chrome and a Chromebook would not let me use MS Word. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
13 inches to 15 inches - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I may be using Adobe After Effects in the near future. - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I want to play Cuphead mostly and I want it to run smoothly and look great. Besides that, I don't have any other games I want to play. - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I want a keyboard that is backlit and quiet. I want reliable build quality as well. I do not care for touchscreens, but would not mind one either. I do want a laptop that can take USB 3.0 but if I need to use a dongle to get everything else that i'm looking for, i'm fine with that. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
The USB 3.0 is mainly to use a USB DAC and to charge my phone. But as I said, if everything else can be met, I am okay with using a dongle for a USB. I just want something discrete and reliable. I also want a good hard drive as I am going to have a lot of music downloaded and pictures/videos uploaded. Thank you in advance! Edit: I just want to say thanks to everyone who recommended something. However, I've decided to go with the Huawei Matebook X Pro. submitted by /u/LuisIsNotHere [link] [comments] |
| Question on buying additional hard drive for laptop Posted: 31 May 2018 01:33 AM PDT |
| Video Game Programming Student Laptop Posted: 31 May 2018 01:16 AM PDT I'm going into college and my parents have offered to buy me a laptop for <$1000 as a graduation gift. I'm willing to subsidize this if there's a laptop that perfectly fits what I'm looking for, but not more than another $200. I'm using this as a computer science student, and I'm going to use it for programming and game design. Normally, a cs student could use any kind of laptop comfortable, but as a video game programmer, I'll need a dedicated graphics card, plenty of ram and cpu, pretty much the same requirements as a playing games would have. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. My requirements based on searching what's out there:
256GB SSD (+1TB HDD preferred, or at least a slot for one)
GTX 1050Ti or 1060
Bluetooth
7700HQ
16GB memory The laptops I've found that match my criteria:
Acer Aspire V Nitro $881.05
Acer Predator Helios 300 $998.75
Lenovo Legion Y520 $974.95
Acer NH.Q2QAA.008 Nitro 5 $819.00 I could probably choose one of these, but I always double check with this community because you guys are full of insight. Thanks for reading all this. Any suggestions or feedback are welcome. I'm looking for links to laptop suggestions in particular. Thanks again. submitted by /u/ImTheTechn0mancer [link] [comments] |

When I was looking for another ultrabook with similar specs that doesn't throttle i found the Lenovo. According to reviews i read it doesn't throttle at all but on the other hand is slower out of the box. Maybe they fixed that since the release with bios update? Or maybe there is another ultrabook that I missed that is worth considering? submitted by /u/mizeria298 [link] [comments] |

| Regarding 7th gen and 8th gen i5s Posted: 30 May 2018 02:26 PM PDT Looking to buy a college laptop with some mid range gaming on the side. I've settled on the Acer Swift 3 (Mx150) but I have a choice between a 7th or 8th gen i5. Will it make a huge difference for gaming, college and just generally? Or am I better off saving the €100 and getting last gen. My work doesn't involve programming or anything intensive just gaming.

| Macbook or naw? Posted: 30 May 2018 09:56 PM PDT Made a post previously, my wonderful Zenbook was stolen. it was my main laptop for university. tbh mostly used for video streaming, writing papers, and i loved it for its portability. I am now leaning toward purchasing a refurbished Macbook. My options so far: find refurbs on microcenter, newegg - Craigslist: 2017 Macbook Pro for 850 2015 Macbook Air 8GB for 595 OR my roomate is offering to sell his 2011 Macbook air 13inch for $200. It seems to run all good, but the cosmetic damages(bent corners,dings, blemishes; not destroyed but it isnt pretty when taking out of a bag). I can get the cheap macbook 2011 for the time being(need a laptop for work which starts soon) while i save bread during summer to buy a macbook for my last year of school OR just shell out cash for a more recent macbook(TAX RETURN FTW) Thanks! submitted by /u/shuckley_Jays [link] [comments] |

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No specific games, but medium settings with 60 would be great. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? A battery with 6+ hours of life would be good, I could potentially buy a replacement battery to switch out. Also, a CPU clocked around 3GHz (2.8 is fine) is my target. TurboBoost that clocks it up to there would be good as well. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've looked around, and I've found the Eluktronics Pro-X P650HS-G + the Eluktronics MECH-15 and the Clevo N850EP6 to be very good, but lacking in battery life. submitted by /u/Wakafanykai123 [link] [comments] |
| UPDATE Purchased an Acer Swift 3 but was not satisfied. Still looking for recomendations Posted: 30 May 2018 03:35 PM PDT Below is my original post from about two months ago. I bought an Acer Swift 3 due to multiple people recommending it but did not like it. I found it to be slower than what I liked, and it had problems playing Age of Empires 2 as well of Out of the Park Baseball '18 (both Steam games). I can increase my budget to <$1250, but I would like something that runs with a bit more power. I'm not good with computer lingo so not exactly sure specifically what I would like to be better (maybe the graphics card?). But everything else is pretty much the same. I'm not a HUGE gamer by any stretch, but I would like something that runs well with games and I guess has the option of playing higher graphic games as well. I'm not necessarily looking for a gaming laptop but can settle for one if it best suits by needs. Thanks for any help. - Total budget and country of purchase: Can go as high as $1000, don't mind spending a bit more. 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. Specs would be my #1 priority, followed by a good battery
- How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important
- Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Prefer Windows, but not 100% set in stone
- Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Prefer smaller - medium. Don't want a large screen
- Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I game but nothing crazy. Age of Empires II is the game I currently play and may buy the new one coming out, which I don't believe is anything crazy on a laptop. I have some more games on Steam that I play but Xbox is my main console so can stay away from computer gaming
- If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? As stated above, currently Age of Empires II HD is the game of choice right now. I'd consider it light gaming
- Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Don't care for touch-screen
- Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I looked through the top 2018 post (top post all time) and found Acer Predator Helios 300. I know almost nothing about computers so don't think I necessarily need a gaming laptop. I'm ok with "general use" laptops but just don't know where to begin. I currently have a Inspiron 5548 and have not been happy with its performance (4 years). Looking to upgrade on this laptop

At what settings and FPS do you want? Lowest settings at 50ish FPS. If it's playable that's all I want (Really guys. I don't care if it looks good. As long as I can play) 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 processor and the best graphics card I can get for the price point TL;DR need a laptop for business applications and very light gaming.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I play a bunch of games. Such as PUBG, Rainbow Six, and a couple more demanding games that I am willing to sacrifice beauty for a good laptop. If I can, I'd like High settings with 60 FPS but it doesn't seem like this is a perfect world so I can compromise with Medium settings at 60 FPS if it must be so. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Maybe optical drive?

But if there is another laptop within the same price range that isn't a total brick and vastly exceeds the GS65's performance, change my mind! submitted by /u/SniffingTiger [link] [comments] |
