| Need a laptop for gaming and art, budget is $800 Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:54 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase:** Total Budget is $800, but it would be really neat if I could find something below the price rather than over. Will to bump it up to $900 if necessary. Located in the USA. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** It is not super important. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** Something at or above 15 inches. * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I will be using Paint Tool Sai or Photoshop cs6 or Gimp. I would like to play Overwatch and Monster Hunter World, but mainly play games that don't have that steep of requirements, so this is not completely necessary. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I am almost completely ignorant to technical terminology, so I am really sorry about my vagueness on some of the statements. My current Laptop is the Lenovo Yoga 11s, which is having some issues because of the age. The main thing I enjoyed about this laptop is the display and how quickly and smoothly it ran. However, the sound quality and the memory were hard to manage, as well as the hinge issues that came along with the way the laptop was built. I would be ok with buying something I could upgrade later, but my laptop is nearing it's deathbed before I have to start replacing stuff on it. [link] [comments]  |

I have a thinkpad carbon x1 for portable needs, but it isn't very good for gaming. Do you think it is wise to try to wait for any black friday/cyber monday sales? Or doesn't really make a huge difference for laptops compared to peripherals? I'd like to play games like PUBG at good FPS, and any new games for the next few years. I can spend up to 1700 but of course if there are some options that fit my needs that are cheaper, that would be better. Right now an option that popped out to me was the Asus GM501 (since all the other similar options people said that they had significant issues), I am open to other options. Also, maybe I should simply get a console like Ps4/Xbox... Anyways, all input is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

| Should I take the Refund and get a new Laptop? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:18 PM PDT Hi guys, slightly different format to the usual post on this subreddit but hoping this is still the right place to ask. I recently sent in my Lenovo Yoga 710 (https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/Lenovo-YOGA-710-14IKB/p/88YG7000771) to get repaired as the battery gave in and it was still under warranty. I love the laptop, however the company have taken much longer than expected to perform the repairs and they have offered me a full refund of what I payed for the laptop if I didn't want to wait for them to finish (which is still going to take around a week). I'd be refunded £600, I bought the laptop almost 2 years ago and I'm aware that this was a very good deal at the time which is why I'm sceptical to take it; I'm struggling to find laptops with similar specs at the same price. My question is, do you think I should take the refund and use it as an opportunity to upgrade? If I take it I'll be without a laptop for a while (although my university has offered to lend me one in the meantime). Black Friday is just around the corner so I might be able to find some good deals but I know the slimmer laptops still can get very pricey, and as the Lenovo Yoga 710 seems to have been discontinued it does seem to be a bit of a risk. If you think I should take the refund, can you recommend any laptops to keep an eye on that are similar/better than the Yoga 710 at a similar pricetag? Thanks for reading. EDIT: A bit of extra info I copied and pasted from a comment below: Thanks for the advice. For requirements the Yoga 710 was pretty perfect, the specs were ideal as I'm a Comp Sci student and often have to use somewhat demanding programs (although it's always nice to have an upgrade) and the size was nice as I carry my laptop around a lot. I do game quite a lot (I've never been able to play high spec games due to low budgets for laptops in the past but would love to be able to) but as I'm at University and travel frequently I prioritise size and convenience over gaming capability. However, having both would definitely be the best case scenario although I'm aware this may not be possible with my budget. The touch screen was also a nice benefit, although I mostly only used it for games of Hearthstone haha. Ideally I'd prefer to keep the budget at £600 as I'm a student (and therefore not very financially stable) but I'd be able to throw in an extra £100-£200 if the laptop was worth it.

| Need a Laptop for University! Country: Denmark, Budget: <13000 DKK ($1980) Posted: 30 Oct 2018 02:21 AM PDT * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Budget = <13000DKK, Planning to buy it from Denmark. * **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 do not want a 2 in 1 laptop as I already use an iPad for that. Battery Life is very important as I'll be using it the entire day at University, and also looking for Good Specifications. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** The weight and thinness are very important as I'm looking for an Ultra Portable laptop. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** -Although I have never used Mac I'm open to using it, as I hear the MacBooks are amazing machines. I'm fully thorough with Windows and welcome suggestions for Windows laptops. Not interested in Chrome OS and Linux Machines. * **Do you have a preferred screen size?

List which programs/games you desire to run.** -I'm not a Gamer and wouldn't be using the Laptop for that Purpose, but I need the Laptop to handle engineering Software. The programs which I'll be using are AutoCAD & MATLAB. * **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 currently own a Dell Inspiron which is super crap in terms of it's Build Quality. So I'm looking forward to getting a well-built laptop that will last me at least 5 years with good performance. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** After many hours of research, I only see Dell XPS13 9370 Core i5 & MacBook Pro 7th Gen i5 with 256 GB as viable options. Although the MacBook is a good laptop I feel that it's overpriced. the XPS 13 also confuses me as I've come across various subreddits quoting the number of issues people face with it. So I'm Super Confused, to say the least! Please help, and all your suggestions are valued. Cheers! Edit - Edited to suit the specified format [link] [comments]  |
| A laptop that runs sims 4 + expansions and mods Posted: 29 Oct 2018 06:43 PM PDT Please try to shoot me something under 500 I have this old Toshiba I've had for like 10 years and the cooling fan broke so now I'm shit out of luck [link] [comments]  |
| France/Europe - Looking for ultraportable for light work and sometimes light design / programming. Posted: 30 Oct 2018 12:05 AM PDT
600-800€, France
2 in 1 really doesn't matter to me, battery life isn't the most important one (pretty much always near an outlet) : the best value components is gonna take the cake for me.
Very important. I'd carry it around very often, so weight is more important than thinness right now, but would be a nice plus.
Windows or Mac OS (but yeah, my budget ain't gonna do it for macs lol)
Yes, 13-14 inches is the sweet spot for me.
Often : Google Drive/Microsoft office suite Less often : Some programming (Visual Studio Code) + Linux Subsystem for Windows + Adobe XD or the likes. For heavy stuff, I have my desktop PC no problems.
Not intended for gaming.
Using it for typing work and programming, a good keyboard/trackpad is the biggest for me. I do want it to last at least 3 years (this will be a laptop I use to try and get a business up and running). Touch screen is not needed at all, no SD card slot required, finger-print reader is a plus but not necessary.
All in all, this will be a secondary, lightweight laptop that will do light work most of the time but I'd love it to be able to support a light dev environment, and optimized stuff like Adobe XD (which is worlds easier to run than Photoshop or Illustrator btw). For anything heavier, I'll use my desktop PC. I was looking at the Lenovo ThinkPad E485, but if there are any better options or lighter ones, please let me hear it :) Thank you so much!

| Picking a laptop for school/leisure Posted: 29 Oct 2018 11:51 PM PDT I have been looking between a couple laptops the past couple weeks as my current one is crashing a ton. I've narrowed it down to really looking between either of these two: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/hp-15-6-touchscreen-laptop-smoke-grey-amd-a9-9425-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-10/12567412.aspx? https://deals.dell.com/en-ca/productdetail/1juo What I'm looking for in a laptop is one that will be able to run Visual Studio, Android Studio, an Oracle SQL Dev VM, the Eclipse IDE. I would also like to have it to be able to play a couple games; namely League of Legends, Civilization, Elder Scrolls Online. I'm not too worried when it comes to video games and if it can handle them as I own an xbox and will use that to play anything new and extremely demanding. I don't want to be spending over 800 and I live in Canada. Any help with some suggestions, guidance, or if either of these would work well for me would be very appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| Need a "Rugged" Laptop, that would be ok for gaming. Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:27 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase $2000, 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.** Prefer a traditional laptop, battery life is the priority. Ruggedness above all. **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Not at all **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows, may explore a dual boot into Linux **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 14 - 15 inches **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Mostly going to be used for Misc. radio work, photo editing and gaming would be a nicety to have, but not a necessity. **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** I do have a couple I regularly play on the desktop, but the ability to play games at medium settings would be nice. **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Weatherproofing. This is a laptop that will be outside, but it will ideally be under a tailgate of a SUV or a tent if used outside during inclement weather. **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** Would like to be able to upgrade RAM & storage, and a removable/replaceable battery would be nice. Thinking about a Dell Latitude 5424, a Latitude 5420, or a Lenovo P52s. I get this is a tall order, but any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

Thanks in advance! **Total budget and country of purchase:** $700, 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.** Best specs for the money, but would like something sleek **How important is weight and thinness to you?** As above, I've been using a 13" Mac for years that is perfect in terms of design, unfortunately it's running a bit slow of late, and I'm playing on shite graphics settings **Which OS do you require?

List which programs/games you desire to run.** Just looking to play World of Warcraft! **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play?

| College Student - School/Work Laptop Recommendation (<$500, Similar to T480s) Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:36 PM PDT Laptop for College, USA, Bay Area Hi everyone, I'm a college student looking for a functional and cheap laptop. I've just quit my job that provided me with a Lenovo T480s. What I enjoyed about this laptop was its speed and size-it felt optimized for doing work. Now my only alternative is my 10+ year old Samsung Laptop from elementary school, so I'm looking to upgrade to something similar to the T480s, just not as pricey. I don't play any games or edit videos, and most of my time on my laptop goes into studying that sometimes requires me to access graphic heavy online textbooks, and writing/browsing would be my secondary use. Looking to spend less than 500 depending on the laptop - preferable with a larger screen.

| Computer Science Student -- Looking for Something Small and Powerful Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:22 PM PDT Hello all, Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Basically I'm a CSCI student, and I've been rocking an i3 Asus Laptop and I fear that Eclipse has taken its toll on this behemoth of a laptop. Long story short, I'm looking for a smaller laptop (~13.5 in/thin) that has relatively powerful processing power. And by that I mean, relatively powerful compared to what I have right now. I'm fine with an i5, however, I'm curious if an i7 is a. overkill and b. necessary. I see myself using Visual Studio and some work in a VR lab with this laptop so I wonder how much processing power is necessary. My budget is give or take 800 dollars; I'm willing to move that around for the right laptop. I'm also curious if Black Friday/Cyber Monday would have deals on some of the suggested laptops. Ideally, I'm looking for a laptop that has these qualities for sure: - 8 GB RAM - 256 SSD - >= i5 CPU - Smaller or Thinner Design Things that are a plus, but totally not 100% necessary are: - Touch screen / tablet capabilities I only write that because I know that a Microsoft Pro / Microsoft SB are pretty common suggestions. One last note, I've never used a Mac, but I know the OS is basically Unix, so I'm willing to overlook my hatred of Macs if I can find the right deal on it. Thanks in advance! I hope I don't sound super picky. I'd like to be flexible with my price without going too far over 800, i.e. less than 1000 would still be nice, but again I can move around as necessary. I do want something with the 4 qualities for sure, however. You guys are the best! [link] [comments]  |

$1,500max, USA college student
Laptop is preferred, good battery life,
Moderate, I can handle the weight/size but an easier loaf is always appreciated. My current laptop is a dell studio 17, 17 inch monitor with extended battery the weight is bearable but lighter would be preferred since wherever I go my laptop comes along in my bag.
Windows
Larger screens are preferred but not mandatory. I'm more concerned with something that fits my needs. If it's a smaller screen then that's okay.
Pretty basic stuff, definitely need to handle multitasking. Will be running Matlab for my math courses. Video editing is a hobby but the laptop doesn't have to be able to handle it as this is for school.
No gaming unfortunately
Build quality needs to be reliable
SSD's are preferred I7 processor is preferred as well! To cut corners, I don't need the most storage on the laptop. School has unlimited google drive and I have a 2TB external with one TB partitioned for Mac and 1TB for Windows. Planning on getting another specifically for Windows. I need this thing to go from use on a desk to closed and put into my bag. Left in a car with freezing temps all the way to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It needs to be able to take a few drops and hits. My laptop lives in my backpack which I live out of. If it breaks during the semester I will be screwed. As a full time student and with a full time job if my laptop breaks I have to withdraw from the semester. $1,500 may be the max but recommend within all prices please! [link] [comments]  |

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 is the most important How important is weight and thinness to you? I don't want it to be a gaming laptop(size and weight) because I will be carrying it around Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. I might buy a MacBook pro if it's on black Friday sale but most likely a windows and I might put Linux into it later aswell Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13"-15" Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Not going to game a lot at least not any big games mostly programming and 3d designing If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I won't have any heavy games Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? A touch screen would be nice but it's not necessary, and I will most likely use the Logitech g305 mouse but the keyboard has to be at least descent Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I would like to have a long lasting laptop and I will carry it around much, but otherwise almost all the things are a little bit flexible [link] [comments]  |

Tendency to leave many tabs open so we will probably want more memory.
Hi all! Looking for a laptop for the fiancee. Light-weight/portability is probably highest priority, with battery-life a close second. Laptop will mostly be used for word processing and emails (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), internet browsing, Netflix and other simple media (YouTube, HBO Go, music, etc.), and overall general computer use. Note that she has a tendency to leave tons of tabs open so we will probably want something with more memory. Budget is theoretically unlimited but cheaper is better. However, value and bang for buck are much more important to us than the actual dollar value of the budget. We don't need this immediately and can probably wait for BF deals to pop up.
