| Looking for a Laptop, Round 2: Now with options to consider! Posted: 29 Oct 2018 04:33 AM PDT Hello everyone, First, a big thank you for giving me insight on what to get! I've come across a few ones I like and wanted to see what people's overall advice was.
My needs are fairly simple: 1. Google suite and MS Suite 2. Skype for conference calling 3. Internet Surfing 4. Some art projects (windows INK would be great, but I like sketchable too). My original budget was $600-$800 for the computer. I don't think I'd want to go over $1,000 all together and I'm interested in refurbs if the company has a good reputation for doing them well. Any thoughts on these computers? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:20 PM PDT I'm looking to get a new laptop since I've had my current one since I started college and want to upgrade before I dive into grad school. I do alot of school related work as well as my fair share of games on Steam. I'm buying from the US. The XPS 13 looks like what I'm looking for but I'm horrible with computer specs, so am I right in thinking this one is good? Thanks in advance for the help. [link] [comments]  |
| US-- under $1000 laptop recommendation please! Posted: 29 Oct 2018 02:12 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: I would like to stay under $1000. I'm in 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. I need a 2 in 1, and I would like good battery life-- I'm currently working with a Dell Inspiron 15-5547 that I've had for four years that stutters and lags and needs to be plugged in or it will die after like 20 minutes. I really think any new laptop is going to be a vast improvement, but to sum it up I need it to be a 2 in 1. How important is weight and thinness to you? My current laptop is extremely heavy which doesn't work for me. I need something as light and thin as possible so I can take it with me to work every day and on public transit and stuff like that. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows please, though I would be open to considering Chrome. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I'd like to stay in the 13.3" range. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I do a small amount of digital art and therefore would want Photoshop and a lot of the other Adobe Suite products-- InDesign and Photoshop mainly. I do light gaming (see next answer). If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I really don't have any settings/FPS preferences, but I mostly just play 2D platformers/RPGs. A computer that can run Stardew Valley, Spelunky, and Crypt of the Necrodancer would be preferred as those are my main jams. 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 something that's reliable-- I'm really not very good at computers and like to keep my tech as brainless and smooth as possible. I recently broke up with my boyfriend who worked for GeekSquad, so I don't really have anyone who can mess with/fix a computer for free anymore as I did previously. Something pretty foolproof would be good. Additionally, I work in politics, and something with a decent amount of security would be good. A finger print reader would be a nice addition. Bluetooth compatibility, something I can charge my iPhone with, and something that will work with Adobe and Google Suite really quickly and smoothly would be great. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I realize this is sort of a ridiculous request, but I want something for which a decent amount of cute accessories are available. I don't want to buy a Mac, but I would like similar accessories (cute hard shell cases or skins, something thin enough to fit into sleeves that are designed for thin laptops, something I can stick a keyboard cover on or get a cute stylus/mouse for to like spruce it up a little). I would also like something gold/rose gold/pale silver rather than like black or grey. None of those are absolute requirements, just would be nice perks. Thanks everyone! So glad I found this subreddit. [link] [comments]  |
| Need laptop suggestions for a stupid guy. Posted: 28 Oct 2018 11:18 PM PDT Hi, I am a complete clutz, and after having dropped my 400$ asus laptop 2 or 3 times over the past 3 years the hard drive has broken. It had a load of issues with it when I first bought it, so I was already familiar with the Bios and the inside hardware and I know anything I do will likely not fix it. The motherboard cannot detect the hard drive. I used it for school, as my college is an hour from where I live and I need to be able to bring stuff around with me. It luckily booted up one time and I managed to get all my files off before it blue screen for the last time. Anyways, I am looking to buy a DURABLE(if such a thing exists) laptop for a relatively cheap price (lets say 400-550$). Does anyone have an suggestions for a goofball such as myself. I am not desperate to play videogames on it, but hope it is powerful enough it wont have trouble playing HD videos and games such as CSGO and Dota 2. Nothing graphically challenging beyond those two games though. I dont know if I'd like to buy ASUS again, and I hear HP is an absolute no go. Apple also is not an option, as it is out of my budget and a riskier purchase. Can anyone please help me? [link] [comments]  |

| Looking to upgrade soon - would love your input Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:51 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Australia - around 1k is ideal, could stretch a little though. Happy to go used if needed. Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Just a normal lappy please haha, no 2 in 1s. Good battery life is very important, and good specs for the money is very important too. How important is weight and thinness to you? Somewhat. Will be carting the thing around a bit, so if it's light and portable that's a big plus. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I've been using 15.6" for years now, so pretty used to that. It's ideal, but if a 13" has what I'm after then so be it. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Yes, a lot of work on Ableton and other audio software. Dabble a little in Photoshop and Illustrator but Ableton is the main bit of software I like to run. I've also started gaming on PC too, so that'll happen more so now. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I enjoy PES/FIFA, and AC. 60FPS would be lovely, but games aren't the main reason I buy stuff. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable, good keyboard and touchpad, would love lots of RAM as is affordable/possible and lots of storage space too, three USB ports, in a perfect world an optical disc drive too. Prefer no touchscreens. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. [link] [comments]  |
| Wich configuration should ı choose? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:13 AM PDT 1-)Intel® Coffee Lake Core™ i5-8300H + 16 GB RAM + GTX 1050 Ti 3-)Intel® Coffee Lake Core™ i7-8750H + 8 GB RAM+ GTX 1050 Ti Both is the same price, I will use for gaming and works. Wich one should i pick? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for an upgrade from EliteBook 2740p Posted: 28 Oct 2018 11:30 PM PDT I recently acquired an old 2740p from my school that was on it's way to the dump. It's a little rough around the edges but I've absolutely fallen in love with the little thing (after sticking an ssd and some low latency ram in). This was clearly designed with no expense spared and I'm now looking into something similar so that I can replace this and another laptop I use daily with one. Must haves: -Rotating/flip around touch screen (a la 2-in-1) -Fastest possible CPU -GTX, quadro, or vega -Upgradeable ram Would be nice: -Toughbook/Rugged -Quirky optional accessories (like the expansion battery sold for these) -Digitizer touch -Front or backlit keys No budget limit Also, some fun trivia about this decade old flagship laptop -Uses a digitizer touch screen, so pressure sensitive and waterproof. Think wacom drawing tablets. -Has a small light up touch bar for changing/muting volume (wya apple?) -Has a small flip up flash light for front lit keys -Flip out WWAN booster -One trackpad, 4 mouse buttons -Firewire [link] [comments]  |

| Laptop for creative work. Must look good. Budget is ~1.6kUSD but less is better. Posted: 28 Oct 2018 10:06 PM PDT
Best case is i7 8th gen, 16gb ram, 4k touch display 3:2 aspect ratio with good design. Yeah, its the expensive Surfacebook. I can find pretty good deals on eBay for the Surface Book 2, question is do I settle for the 13in 8gb for 1,000 dollars or the 15in 16gb Original Surfacebook. I can settle for less, but if I use it all the time for a few years, why cheapen out a few hundred bucks. Honestly if someone finds me a great deal that I buy I will venmo or Paypal them 10 dollars.

| Help Me Pick a Non-Gaming Laptop for under 1K Posted: 28 Oct 2018 07:34 PM PDT Hi everyone, Was trying to research laptops and realized I dint know half of what they were talking about and thought people here could steer me to a wise purchase. So right now I have a Chromebook that i'm basically just using to surf the web with but I need something with more memory.I'd basically be using it to store and record music/watch movies/netflix but it would also be great if it had some kind of writing program on it too. Also I've noticed a lot of laptops don't have a cd player anymore is that a standard thing now? would it just be easier to buy an external cd drive? Essentials for the Laptop: - Good Battery - Good Speakers/Audio - Fair Amount of Memory - Under a 1K I was looking at the Dell XPS 13 9360 and it seemed to have a lot of the features I was looking for but I would like to hear what others have to say about it or if there's a better alternative to it. Thanks for your time/advice! Edit: Budget is 1000 in United States [link] [comments]  |
| Laptop for video production- $2500 Posted: 28 Oct 2018 06:31 PM PDT My current desktop is a beast, but I am on the go alot now and need a good laptop that I can bring around while filming. I currently own a GL752 with the 970m and it's trash when trying to deal with 4k 60FPS footage that's recorded at high bitrates. I asked a similar question awhile back and was really recommended the Aero 15 with its 1070 and all. I like that laptop alot, I just worry about the Gigabyte CS. I know some new laptops have come out now (Looking at you Alienware M15) so I was wondering what yall thought. Has anything come out that's changed? I really need a 4k screen and something better than the 1050Ti Max Q that the XPS 15 has. I dont know if I has to be a thin and light. The cheaper the better. I was looking at the G7 15 gaming from Dell but i cant find any video editing benchmarks. [link] [comments]  |
| A windows tablet for Visual Novels Posted: 28 Oct 2018 06:28 PM PDT Hi! I am looking for a affordable windows tablet, whose main purpose would be to watch youtube or netflix and play some light games, mainly visual novels. Here are some of the things I am looking for
So, I am asking for suggestions, and also if it is worth it to get something this low end for the use I want it. If windows tablets under 300 are not worth a purchase, I'd love to know. Everything I've seen so far seems to have mixed reviews, so, thanks for your output! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Oct 2018 06:42 AM PDT Context : My parents are fine with buying me a new laptop, especially for college, and they didn't mention a specific budget, but whenever they see one advertised as a gaming laptop such as many MSI laptops and Razer, for example, they say that they'd "prefer that [I] didn't use it for just games". So high performance, good GPU laptops are fine as long as they aren't advertised as gaming-specific, which might be a blessing because of stuff like weight, heat and worse battery life which would be difficult to manage in a college environment. Basically I'd like to know the best option in terms of performance, battery life, and thermal cooling (as good as a laptop's thermal cooling can be, so no i9, probably) for long-lasting components, as well as weight since many gaming laptops are extremely heavy. I don't necessarily need GTX 1080 performance, as many of the games i'll play will be 2017 or earlier. However, I'd like comfort, and some future proofing, so I think GTX 1050(ti), 1060 or 1070 or something similar in performance, I've looked at Dell XPS 15 models, which have 1050s, and instantly dismissed Razer laptops due to poor thermal cooling. Otherwise, I have no idea. Could you please help me out? :) Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| Good specs, but as portable as possible? (USA, up to USD 1400) Posted: 28 Oct 2018 04:34 PM PDT
I am looking for a computer that is as-portable-as-possible, but I'm willing to compromise on things (as this is laptop purchasing, after all! I have minimal interest in gaming on this. Preliminary searches have led me to the Dell XPS 13 2in1, the Surface Pro 6, and the Surface Book 2 13.5". For any model recommended, I'll be keeping an eye on all trim-lines and pick up whichever is most sensible in this holiday shopping season, ideally at around the USD 1000 mark. [link] [comments]  |
| Laptop for CS, budget: roughly €1000 Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:32 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: ~1000€, Germany (if there is a great one for €1100, that'd be okay, too) Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.
How important is weight and thinness to you? It shouldn't be heavier than 2kg. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14" Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
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 would be good - I want to use it for the 6 years at Uni and after that it should still be usable. I take care of my hardware, but I do travel via bicycle and public transport. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The Inspiron devicec generally seem to have super good specs (with discount the configuration of the 14 5482 was about 900€ and had a 512Gb NVMe SSD, Whsikey-Lake i7 and 16Gb RAM) I tested the Surface Laptop 2 in a local store and pretty much fell in love with it, but the price is pretty high for a decent configuration (1300€). Thank you for your help & time! [link] [comments]  |
