    Looking for a laptop that will handle school and gaming

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 11:44 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: I'd like to stay under $800 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. Best specs. Pretty much always near an outlet

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Moderately important but not a huge deal.

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Under 16 inches

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Solid works Gaming: stuff like Fortnite and maybe RB6 Siege

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Fortnite, CS:GO, RB6 siege. Anything above 60 FPS is fine

    • 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 pretty important to me

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I just need a reliable laptop that can moderately run games. I've been looking into the Nitro 5 but I'm not sure if that's the best bang for my buck. Im not sure if I should wait until Black Friday to buy one. Thanks

    Help me choose a 17" gaming laptop under 900 €

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 11:13 AM PDT

    Hey people. I need to buy a new gaming laptop but can't find anything on this buget.

    I' struggle to buy dell g3 17 but i find some bad reviews about overheating (i have an hp laptop actually and overheating have burned the video card) so i'm a little concerned about that.

    Also i'm not in the us so here in Europe price of laptops are a little big higher.

    Ps: i also would like the Italian layout on keyboard, but i think i'm asking too much.

    Thank you for your kind answers :D

    Painting a laptop?

    Does anyone here have knowledge about the best paint and method for painting a glossy laptop? Internet results seem inconsistent and lacking on this but I do know they make specialized electronics paints.

    What is this laptop rig like?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 10:31 AM PDT

    A friend offered me her laptop because she's got a newer one.

    And this is just something to hold me over until I get my gaming desktop in a few months.

    And I'm not good at specs so I need your help!!!
    These are my specs:

    -Nvidia Geforce 940mx
    -Intel Core 17-7500U CPU @2,70GHz
    -16GB Ram

    -1920 x 1080, 60Hz

    -Windows 10
    HP Envy laptop 17m-ae0xx

    I was wondering what games I could run with this.

    I'm playing a few much older games right now because that's what I love to play and would tide me over until I get a smashing new gaming PC.

    ​

    But, I wanted to know if this could run MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14!

    ​

    And please also list down some of the farthest games these specs would do wonderful in. I know that it probably won't run any games this generation/2018-2019. I'm guessing the the farthest game I could run would be in like 2015-16.

    Looking for a VR gaming laptop.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 09:09 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    Low budget, only about $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.

    Raw performance, it has to be at least capable of VR at frame rates that won't make me extremely nauseous.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all, as long as it's not some 20 pound behemoth of a laptop.

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

    Windows 10

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

    N/A

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

    Gaming, with occasional photo and video editing.

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

    Any VR game, FPS, or adventure game. I don't mind playing on low settings as long as I get 90 FPS. Especially on VR.

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

    No.

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

    I already have a nice VR ready gaming PC I built, runs Skyrim VR or any other VR game at 120+ fps. However, it would be nice to be able to play games, VR and not VR, while I'm out. I don't care if I have to play at medium to low settings, because something over that would be a lot to ask. Trust me, I know this is a low budget. Especially for VR. It can be bulky, just not too bulky to put it in a backpack or something. If anybody knows of a laptop that can at least handle VR games at 90fps, please let me know. Thank you!

    Reviews or possible alternative needed for Dell XPS 15

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 06:51 AM PDT

    I was planning to get Dell XPS 15, i7 8th gen, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD and came across some very upsetting reviews for such a costly laptop. I got few questions.

    Are faulty pieces a usual thing and are there any well known issues? hardware, keyboards and wifi/drivers?

    Can it handle heat or it just thermal throttles like most laptops these days?

    Are there any other more reliable laptops in similar specs/price range I should check out? (No Apple)

    is win 10 home good

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 09:49 AM PDT

    i placed an order with dell to buy an alienware 17 r5 laptop and i asked them to give me win 10 pro. after 3 weeks waiting they put my order on hold. this is typical behavior of dell when it comes to alienware orders lol

    anyway i found somewhere else that sells the same laptop but they have it with win 10 home and not win 10 pro

    my experience with windows home was very bad. around 7 years ago i bought an hp pavilion dv6 laptop. it came with win 7 home. i did windows updates and i played lot of games. a few months later i started getting lot of blue screens and shortly after that my motherboard died :( i had to replace the motherboard. when i got back my laptop i put on it win 7 pro and i disabled windows update and everything was fine

    my old alienware laptop had win 8.1 pro and i need to buy a new one

    is win 10 home good? in my opinion the home versions are basic and full of bugs. the pro and enterprise versions are stable

    if i get win 10 home and i buy the win 10 upgrade then will my system be stable? or will some leftover win 10 home files cause any issues? it will be a hassle to do a complete format and put win 10 pro

    Gaming Laptop Needed

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 05:44 AM PDT

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:**

    Budget is approximately £650 - Live in England

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

    My priority is by far the specifications, a good battery life is just a bonus.

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?**

    Not very.

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

    Windows - Don't actually need a OS if it means the price will be increased as I already have purchased Windows which I can install.

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

    N/A

    * **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?**

    Games along the lines of Battlefield 1 and The Witcher 3. I'd preferably like to play on high settings at least but could accept playing on medium. 25FPS would be minimum I think.

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

    N/A

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

    I have a Gaming PC but I am currently at university so it is quite inconvenient to take my PC home over the summer as it's a long journey. It is also hard to do work when I go home during reading weeks etc as I have to use my dads old laptop which isn't great. I'd like to be able to play games over the summer or when I go home and I just want to chill which is why I don't just want a normal laptop to run MS Word etc. I have never actually got a laptop before so I don't even know if my budget is enough to get me what I need. I was also thinking it might be good for me to wait till Black Friday/Cyber Monday to get one. Thank you for any help.

    15" gaming machine comparison - Zephyrus-M vs STRIX SCAR II vs Aero 15x-V8

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 11:24 PM PDT

    hi folks -

    So all these machines are within ~$150 of each other now and $2400-2500 CAD. They all have sexy-core i7-8750H, GeForce 1070s and 15" 144hz IPS screens.

    A few minor hardware differences; the Zephyrus appears to not have a second HDD/SSD bay, the Scar II is m.2 and SATA, and the Aero15 is 2x m.2. The Aero15 also has its super-huge 94Wh battery, so nominally an 8+ hour runtime. They're all in the ~5lb range.

    I have owned and liked ASUS machines in past, but never used a ROG gaming unit. I've never had a Gigabyte laptop, and am coming from an MSI unit that had good performance but felt too light and flimsy- the case and lid flex too much, and the battery life is f*** awful.

    Which of these 3 would be the best choice, or am I missing an amazing deal on some other brand in the same performance & size range? r/Gigabyte seems to be rather iffy on warranty and RMA support for their laptops, any others?

    Are the current Black Friday sales on Lenovo’s website worth going for right now?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 09:42 PM PDT

    Lenovo seems to be having a Black Friday sneak peek sale going on right now and I was looking at the X1 Extreme. I'm wondering if the sale is worth it now, or if I should wait until Black Friday or cyber Monday before buying.

    Top 6 Ultra-thin Laptops For Business - ValueQ

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 08:07 PM PDT

    Looking for a new laptop, thoughts?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 06:03 PM PDT

    Trying to file the form here. But, this won't let me copy/pasta

    • Budget/country: $800. United states. Prefer not to spend that much, mind you. Even better if the place has a financing option
    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, a good battery life, or best specifications for the money? best specifications for the money with battery life as a secondary.
    • How important is weight and thinness? Weight and thinness do not matter, make that sucker thick if it works
    • Preferred OS? Windows preferred
    • Preferred screen size? No preference in screen size
    • Are you doing any CAD/Video editing/photo editing/gaming? Photoshop, Clipstudio, Blender, Paintshop Sai, Psx2, WoW
    • What settings and fps for games? I usually play things low graphics on even good desktops just cause I don't honestly care when playing a game for the better graphics, and usually it's easier to see objectives on low graphics. FPS not too different either, just...decent.
    • Any specific requirements? Only thing required is the ability to handle photoshop and blender well and have a port for HDMI so I can hook up my graphic tablet to it.
    • Any finishing thoughts
      I'm debating between getting a laptop to work on art stuff instead of just upgrading my desktop another year. However, I don't really need high end specs, just specs that work without burning too big a hole in my wallet or at least with a decent financing option. Granted if someone also knows of a pretty easy desktop upgrade I'm not opposed to that either. Was thinking of looking at which options would be great through black friday, but maybe someone here would have more knowledge of how and when to get a decent deal on a working laptop.
