I bought a laptop last week that I'm unhappy with. Can anyone help me pick the best replacement from the following list? Posted: 03 Aug 2018 02:29 AM PDT Last week, I bought this laptop - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-swift-3-15-6-amd-ryzen-5-laptop-256-gb-ssd-grey-10173889-pdt.html but am a bit unhappy with it. The speakers are horrible and make this weird static noise which, after some Googling, seems to be a common complain with this model. Because of that, I don't just want to replace it with the exact same model. I was going to return it today and get a replacement and was just wondering what the best laptop is from the following list. I would be using it for general browsing and Photoshop. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/315_3226_30328_253_1731_1700_ba00002920-bv00307957/1_21/relevance-desc/600-750_xx_xx_xx_6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-criteria.html submitted by /u/Andarna [link] [comments]

Need a laptop for gaming & schoolwork Posted: 02 Aug 2018 08:29 PM PDT * Total budget and country of purchase: My max budget would be up to 2500. Buying it from the 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. Having a 2 in 1 (if we're talking about the computers that have detachable screens to make them a tablet) isn't important to me. A good battery life would be ideal, but chances are I won't be far from an outlet most times when I'm on my laptop, so it's not that big of a deal as long as the laptop runs well. I'm looking for a laptop that'll last me a while since I have university coming up next year and won't be able to make a big purchase like this again. How important is weight and thinness to you? I would prefer the laptop to not be bulky or extremely heavy. Having a thin, "professional" looking laptop that isn't too bulky would be nice. * Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows. * Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I would prefer a 15 inch or somewhere around that over a smaller screen size. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I might end up using photoshop at some point, but that's extremely low on my priority list, and as far as photo editing goes, that's it. I will be running Fortnite, Wizard101, The Sims 4, GTA 5, and Watchdogs 2. Maybe another game along those lines, but that's all I can think of right now. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? The games listed above are what I want to play. I would prefer high-ultra settings for my games, and I'm not really an expert with FPS and things like that, but having my games run smoothly and not lag is very important to me. * Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I've had keyboard keys break off with the amount of typing that I do before, so a good keyboard is important to me. I also would like having reliable build quality since I worry about the hinges of my laptop not working properly after a while (has happened before, granted, with cheap laptops). This isn't extremely important, but having a non-pixelly camera in the laptop would be nice too. A well-functioning touchpad would be important too since when I'm not gaming, that's what I mainly use. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. - I would prefer a heavy but thin laptop over a light but bulky laptop. A laptop that will last at least 3 or 4 years would be preferable. I have a good cooling pad, but a laptop with a good cooling system is important to me too. If you guys have any suggestions for gaming mouses, that would also be great. I apologize if anything I said was confusing, I don't really have experience with computer settings and parts and all that, so I tried my best to explain. Thank you :) submitted by /u/InMyMindPalace [link] [comments]

Laptop for class and gaming. $800-$1200. Posted: 02 Aug 2018 05:38 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Prefer ~$800-1000. ~$1200 max. 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 have an iPad, so I don't need a 2 in 1. Specifications outweigh good battery life for me, but I don't want horrible battery life either. How important is weight and thinness to you? Somewhat important. I may be carrying this to class often, so I'd prefer it not to be significantly heavy, but I can deal with some weight. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A. I'll be using a monitor at home, and screen size during class doesn't matter to me too much. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. For class, I should only need basic Microsoft Office functionality. I would like to use this laptop for moderate gaming. My current laptop has trouble running most games, so anything that can at least run most of today's games with decent performance would be preferred. I'm not expecting to get anything very top of the line with this budget. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I plan to play current AAA games (ex. Overwatch). Performance doesn't need to be extremely high, but the games should run well enough without noticeable stuttering or poor graphics. 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 would be nice. It should hopefully have more than one USB port. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm not sure if gaming laptops are ever unsuitable for school use or if there are usually no downsides compared to non-gaming laptops. The only possible problem I can think of is that gaming laptops may run hotter and louder (?). I would prefer something that won't run noticeably hot or loud while I'm using it in class (not gaming). Thanks! submitted by /u/plrtz_glrb [link] [comments]

Is the Dell G7 Series 15 good for video editing, gaming, and school? Posted: 03 Aug 2018 12:29 AM PDT I am looking at the dell g7 15 which has a gtx 1060 6gb, i7-8750h, 2x8gb, and has a 128gb ssd + 1tb. I'm not trying to play 4k gaming or vr games just some casual gaming here and there since I'll be in college. I'm also a film major so I'll be using premiere pro, after effects, and photoshop a lot. It's currently on sale for 1077 and I've been doing my research but I need your guy's opinion or whether or not this is a good fit for me. submitted by /u/elitemustang117 [link] [comments]

Any better alternatives to the Huawei MateBook X Pro? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 06:24 PM PDT If not, just gonna go ahead and pull the trigger :) Not looking for a crazy gaming laptop either. submitted by /u/purecussion [link] [comments]

Looking at buying a laptop for around $850 USD, any suggestions? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 08:35 PM PDT * Total budget and country of purchase: I don't want to spend much more than $850.00. Buying from the US, probably going to get it off Amazon. * 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. It'll spend most of its time plugged in, probably. * How important is weight and thinness to you? Not especially. My backpack is heavy enough as it is, a few more pounds won't hurt me. I'm a pretty strong guy. * Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows only, please. * Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Indifferent, but I don't think I want smaller than a 15". * Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Games, mostly. I don't do a lot of editing or photoshop. * If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I want to be able to run things like WoW at Ultra (not exactly difficult I know), Witcher 3, Subnautica. All the newest and best on Good or Great settings, as high as I can get really. Not too bothered about 30fps vs 60fps, though 60 is nice. Just not a dealbreaker if most stuff is at 30. * Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I really, really don't want it to fall apart. Good build quality is a must. Prefer something with a good keyboard, since I do a lot of typing and writing, and being able to reliably do it at school would be fantastic. * Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. As a secondary little question, I found this https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Computer-i5-7300HQ-Graphics/dp/B07FBZXTQT/ref=pd_sbs_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07FBZXTQT&pd_rd_r=6Y7WRF2ET3AN7WWXGVWM&pd_rd_w=V1aEN&pd_rd_wg=EhJCY&psc=1&refRID=6Y7WRF2ET3AN7WWXGVWM on Amazon, is this any good? Doesn't have a lot of reviews but the specs look good. Not toooo much of a computer guy, I know the basics but some of it goes straight over my head. submitted by /u/SneakyBeeps [link] [comments]

Laptop needed for travel, writing and general use! Posted: 03 Aug 2018 04:06 AM PDT Hi all, I'm moving countries in a few months and have been laptop-less for about a year since mine died on me 3 days after my dissertation hand in. I don't need anything too fancy, primarily I will be using it for writing /InDesign/ photography/ work, websurfing and keeping in contact with friends and family. Seeing as I will most likely be moving around a lot, I'd like something fairly lightweight and durable with a long life span if possible. My budget is probably up to £600 depending on the quality. Please help me I know nothing! submitted by /u/cescabond [link] [comments]

Productivity and light Photoshop, 14"+, New Zealand, $<2000 Posted: 03 Aug 2018 02:09 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: New Zealand, max $2000 (1300 USD) prefer $1000-1700. Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Battery life, then specs for money. No interest in 2-in-1. How important is weight and thinness to you? Thinness isn't a factor, would prefer a lower weight (below 4lb, or 1.8kg). Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows and Linux Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Above 14" is a must. Anything 13.3" just looks too tiny. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Photoshop image and gif editing. I'd like to get into gaming, but more older games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age: I, and maybe LoL, but not a dealbreaker. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? As above Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? In order of importance: Decent keyboard and specs, then connectivity, then screen, and then touchboard. Things I don't care about: Noise (prefer the ambient noise of a fan to music), heat except how it affects CPU speed, 2-in-1 Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The selection of newer laptops is somewhat limited in New Zealand. My first choice would have been a Huawei Matebook X Pro, but that isn't available. The ones I'm looking at right now are: The Lenovo Thinkpad E580, which is on sale in NZ. My preferred config, which is available here, would be: Intel Core i5-8250U, 15.6" FHD IPS 1920x1080, 8GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM, AMD Radeon RX 550 2GB, 256GB Solid State Drive PCIe OPAL2.0 M.2 2280. Cost: $1,149 (766.38 USD) Disadvantage: The screen has 56% sRGB coverage, slow SSD, poor battery, kind of heavy Advantage: Cheap enough to buy a decent external monitor The ASUS Zenbook UX430UN-GV029T. Intel i5-8250U, 14" 1080p FullHD screen, 8GB RAM, MX150 2GB, 256GB M.2 SSD Cost: $1,590.40 (1060.80 USD) Advantages with cost: Much lighter at 1.25kg, better battery, ~85% sRBG coverage. However, can't upgrade the RAM. Alternately, the ThinkPad T480s is also on sale here for $1,749 (1166.58 USD) with i5-8250U, 1920x1080 display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, but integrated graphics. $1964/1310USD for a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2G. Do you think the cost of the zenbook/T480 would justify shelling out for more, considering gaming isn't a factor? At this price, it would be getting into XPS 15 territory (not a fan of XPS) submitted by /u/ivyspinners [link] [comments]

Gaming laptop medion, ASUS, MSI or HP Posted: 03 Aug 2018 01:58 AM PDT All of these are refurbished sub £600 which is in my budget, I don't care which one is fastest of the four, but I need the one with which I will have least problems. For example I heard hp are full of bloatware, or Medion is a budget brand but also German. ASUS I suppose is a leader but even they can fail. HINGES. I can't stress this enough, nothing ruins my day like a broken plastic that holds a hinge.

Laptop that doubles for gaming, productivity, and drawing Posted: 02 Aug 2018 10:07 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: ~$1600 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. 2 in 1 form preferred, good battery life preferred but not that important, good GPU and healthy amount of RAM for some light rendering on the go and some light 3D gaming(i.e. run warframe on low on at least a decent framerate) How important is weight and thinness to you? not very, would prefer a lighter laptop, but I don't really care too much Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. would like one that I could boot both Linux and Windows on Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 inch Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. mainly blender, Krita, and warframe[on low, though may just buy a switch later] If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? warframe, low settings, but at 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)? pen pressure sensitivity, USB-C thunderbolt Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. currently have a 7th Generation HP Spectre x360. but lately, this thing's been heating up like a mothaf* even when just running something simple like Krita and the heat may have caused screenburn streaks. Every time there are a bright white box on the screen, white nearly transparent streaks trace the boxes profile to the top of the screen. And it can barely handle any form of 3D gaming, can barely handle Portal 1. heck it becomes hot as f* just playing Into the Breach. This only started happening recently though. Had it for only 7 months. I bought it refurbished, maybe that has something to do with it. Was thinking of maybe getting a newer Spectre with the RX Vega M and selling this one for cheap. Though I'm open to other options. Thanks. submitted by /u/John137 [link] [comments]

Chromebook without wifi? Posted: 03 Aug 2018 01:27 AM PDT Hiya! So quick question. I'm looking for a cheap and easy laptop to take traveling with me. Mainly I will be using it to write basic documents, watch movies, and browse the internet. I will need the ability to connect via ether net cable and will not have access to wifi for ~6 months. The places I'm traveling to will also be exceptionally dry and it's not uncommon for the static to fry laptops (hence the desire for a very cheap and basic one) I'm considering buying an inexpensive chromebook $~200, a portable DVD player, a dongle to connect to the internet, and an external hard drive to keep my music/podcasts on. Would this be reasonable and affordable? I had the Acer Aspire E 15 but the laptop was too big and heavy to easily throw into my travel bag. Any other suggestions for laptops around $400 that are smaller and easier than the aforementioned laptop? submitted by /u/Emnems [link] [comments]

Laptop for Gaming and College? (Pretty new to the detailed specs of computers and looking for some help) Posted: 02 Aug 2018 09:39 PM PDT * **Total budget and country of purchase:*\* United States. I would like the price under $1500, but something more in the $1000-$1300 range would be perfect. * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.*\* Don't need the 2 in 1. A good battery life ~6-8 hours would be great. Good specs is a top priority as well. I am really looking at 120+ hz monitor if possible as well as at least a Nvidia GTX 1060. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?*\* Very important. I don't want a behemoth of a laptop to carry around at school. Something that looks and feels good to take would be perfect. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.*\* Windows. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.*\* 14 - 15.6 in. * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.*\* No video or photo editing, mostly gaming. I play a lot of LoL, Counter-Strike, as well as many AAA games that I have never been able to run at high settings. * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?*\* As stated before, the gaming portion of the laptop is what I would want to focus on, I don't necessarily need to run all the games on max settings, but I would like to run them on something other than low for once. * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touch pad)?*\* None of the fancy touch screens or finger print readers are needed. I would just want something that has good cooling (as well as a thin computer). Additionally, I was wondering the difference between a FullHD and a 120hz monitor was as many computers say FullHD while some say 120 or 144 hz. But really any help on if the GTX1060 is necessary or if something like a i7 8th gen 6 core is more important? SSD and HDD are very flexible. 16GB ram preferred but 8 would work if needed to fit in price range. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.*\* Some that I have been looking at and need advice: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=9SIAATJ7D94407 (havent really heard of prostar) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CCPVG5Q/ https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154829&ignorebbr=1 (Doesn't say it has a 120hz monitor) These are on the expensive side but more like the kind I'm looking at (size and spec wise) (although could downgrade specs if the shape and size and portability was kept similar): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BB7XN8C https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWY6Y2X https://www.razer.com/Gaming-System/Razer-Blade-C1/p/RZ09-02385E92-R3U1#shop I am also pretty new to the whole computer market. I have a basic knowledge of things, but advanced tech will just go over my head. THANK YOU in advance. submitted by /u/ExodiacRS [link] [comments]

Travel work/gaming laptop that doesn't screem gamer Posted: 03 Aug 2018 12:47 AM PDT I work with computers pretty much every day of my life, and I game casually so I need something that will push through photo editing and day to day multitasking easily sometimes running on battery. I have a PC back home in AUS so please don't recommend a PC, I know the limitations of laptops but I've decided it's the best thing to do Ideally Not a gamer looking laptop, doesn't need to look like a MacBook, just not flashing red and shaped like a space shuttle. Budget: No more than 2.7k Canadian, happy to spend it if there are no alternatives but I'd like to spend less Requirements gaming: Can play current games on at least high at 70-80fps (r6 seige and battlefield 4 and V when it's out) Ram:16gb or more. Battery life > 4hours for basic tasks (email, browsing) If it helps, I'm currently fairly sold on the aero 15x V8 for the colour accurate screen and the 1070 max q but please sell me on others, I'd love to spend less submitted by /u/MrFunk420 [link] [comments]

Looking for a budget laptop (or chromebook?) for home use, mostly web surfing. Posted: 02 Aug 2018 04:19 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: US - Looking for $300 and under. Refurbished would be fine. Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Battery life isn't important as it'd be used at home. Don't need a 2 in 1. Would prefer good performance and a large-ish screen. How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight is unimportant. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. I'd much prefer Windows, but I could be ok with Chrome or Mac. Maybe even Linux, if it's easier to figure out than I think it is. I'm not savvy and would like something that works out of the box. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15" is my preference. I could go down to 13". Or lower if there's something that's great in every other way. Screen size isn't a deal breaker. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. None of the above. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? N/A 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 at least 2 USB ports, a SD reader, and of course a headphone jack. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. This will be used almost exclusively for internet stuff. Web browsing, flash type games, etc. I'd prefer Windows so I'd have the option of having other programs, but if a Chromebook seems like the best option I'd be cool with that. I won't be storing many files either. It doesn't need to be brand new, as long as it's got some longevity and gets the job done well (phrasing). I'd be cool with a model from a couple years ago. And it doesn't matter how good the touchpad is, I'll be using a mouse. I guess I basically just want something simple, preferably with a large-ish screen, and cheap but not shitty.
