    Would you recommend buying this laptop?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 03:10 AM PST

    I came across this laptop on eBay and comparing the listing price with the prices here in Turkey is a bit unfathomable!
    Link on eBay

    With similar specifications here, the price would be at least $1000, for a second-hand laptop, but this one is for only $153 AND FREE SHIPPING!!!

    So I was wondering if you'd recommend buying it. Thanks.

    Triple threat (unless i get more suggestions)

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:11 AM PST

    I am currently deciding between Alienware 17 r5: 60hz gsync, i7 8750h, gtx 1060, 99whr battery. Sexy black chassis

    Razer blade 15: i7 8750h, gtx 1060 Max q, 60hz screen

    Asus zephyrus s: i7 8750h, gtx 1070 Max q, 144hz panel

    There are pros and cons to each. I like Alienware build quality. I feel like it also has the best display of the 3. The zephyrus has the best specs but the keyboard is a little iffy and lots of light bleed complaints. Razer has a nice look, size, but Max q is a downgrade from 1060. I was wondering if anyone knew which had better cooling/fan noise and more battery life comparisons and such. I want something that can handle games when I want to play like resi 2, csgo, rocket league, Witcher 3, but also want something that I can use for YouTube videos and movies without having to be plugged in. Thanks in advance!

    [USA] Anthropology/Computer Science Undergrad Laptop

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 09:11 PM PST

    Hey, as the title says, I'm an undergrad working on an Anthropology major with a Computer Science minor. As such, I need something light, portable, and with a solid battery life for Anthropology, but also something powerful enough for some light, on the go coding (I have a desktop for more powerful programming).

    • Total budget and country of purchase: USA, Budget under $1200.

    • 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 would be nice, but no means required. Battery life is very, very important.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Very important. Something easy to throw in a backpack and lug around.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows is vital, but it would be nice to dual boot a Linux distro. That's by no means a requirement though, just would be a nice add-on in a perfect world.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I prefer 12.5" up to 14.5".

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I haven't gone very heavily into my programming degree plan yet so I can't really comment on specific programs. From friends who are further in the program than me, though, there's gonna be a decent amount of Python. There's also a game dev course I've been considering.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I don't care about gaming on this machine; I use my desktop for that. Maybe some ultra-light indie games. Minecraft is probably the most demanding thing I'd play with this. 30 FPS is fine in this case, too.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? As long as the keyboard doesn't make me wish I was using an on-screen keyboard I can work with it. Build quality is pretty important to me, I want this thing to last. Touch screen is a huge plus, I like using it for reading my online textbooks. Fingerprint or Windows Hello or something would be nice, but is by no means a must-have.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm pretty heavily considering the Surface Pro 5 or 6, but I'm kinda worried that they'd suck to use for even on the go coding. That being said, if someone suggests a traditional laptop that checks every single box I can think of I'd be all over that.

    Thanks in advance!

    Laptop Advice

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 03:01 AM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: United Kingdom, £800-900 (can potentially go over though).

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

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important really.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows; that's what I'm used to using and what all my clients use.

    Do you have a preferred screen size? Up for recommendations; even though a decent display would be good as I do a lot of photo editing and graphic design and will be using this laptop on a regular basis for work.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming List which programs/games you desire to run? It's for work. I will be mostly using Photoshop and Illustrator for graphic design and photo editing.

    Any specific requirements such as a good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable build quality is what I'm looking for. I will be using a mouse so not too bothered on the touchpad as much.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm overwhelmed with the choice out there currently; one minute I'm looking at a £700 laptop and then £900 the next. If it can comfortably handle Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Word and a few Chrome tabs open at the same time that would be great! There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of difference between a £700 and £800 unit, £800 and £900 unit etc. so I'm finding myself slowly creeping up the specs, but then I'm not sure I'll ever even hit the laptop's capabilities so am I just throwing money away. Should I go for an Nvidia 1050, 1050ti or 1060 gfx card? i5 or i7 chipset? What laptop manufacturers are reliable, which ones should I stay clear from? Any recommendations and pointers would be great. Thanks in advance

    Budget, Durable Laptop

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:05 PM PST

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** USA, $400-500 (can potentially go over)

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

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I want a laptop with a screen that can take a hit or two. I think a light screen would worry me.

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

    * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 14-15, preferably.

    **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I play some games. I don't need to play high-power triple A games, but it would be nice to run less intensive games.

    * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** Something like A Hat in Time is about the level I want to play at. I don't need particularly high graphics and framerate, as long as it's not outright ugly I'm fine.

    * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Again, I move my laptop around a lot and I'd like to not worry about the screen breaking or having to get a replacement or anything like that. A good touchpad is preferable.

    * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I'm not the most computer literate person in the world, but hopefully there's a durable and cheap laptop with at least acceptable performance.

    Looking for a gaming laptop!

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:49 AM PST

    Hi everyone!

    So, I'm currently studying programming, and for netbeans and such my old crappy laptop was barely enough, but now its crashing everytime I open Unity so I thought it may be about time, I gathered some money, got help from parents and finally on my way to find the perfect laptop for me.

    Have in mind it's going to be my gaming station, so I'm looking for something as high-end as possible, I wouldn't treat it as a programming laptop, more as a gaming one.

    Ok so, form:

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

    Flexible, but somewhere between 700-1k. Buying from Spain.

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

    Dont really care about battery life, it should have some but it's just gonna work as a pc that moves from home, college, gf's home.

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

    As long as I can carry it in my backpack it's fine :)

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

    Windows

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

    A pretty nice plus, but not my main focus

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

    Already stated that, basically gaming, Im gonna be programming things with it, hopefully games in a future, but mostly is for gaming, I'm a junkie for indie games but I want it to move new games, a 1060 may be hoping too much but 1050 Ti or smth like that would be cool too.

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

    I'm gonna be playing the batmans and Lara Crofts on it, also maybe I'll get Anthem, so yeah, if it can move those (not on Ultra ofc) I'm happy with it.

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

    Please let it have more than 2 USB ports and HDMI, but thats a staple right? Also of course all good add-ons would be cool, but again, not the focus.

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

    Thanks for helping!

    Work laptop. Adobe CC, SEO programs, Microsoft Office. Learning programming. [$1250, USA]

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 09:55 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $1250, 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, although battery life would be a huge plus

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Pretty important. Will be bringing to work daily.

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

    • 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. Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, SEO programs, Microsoft Office

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? If anything I'd be playing the old Age of Empires or Heroes of Might and Magic on Steam, but very infrequently.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Solid keyboard. I really like the feel of a metal keyboard part of the laptop. Built-in webcam and mic. USB 3.0, HDMI, and functional Aux port (my last two laptops Macbook and Asus N550JK- DS71T both came with a broken headphone jack. I had to half plug-in headphones and let it play through one ear). Good speakers are a nice plus.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The purpose of this laptop is mostly for work where I will be doing graphic design and lots of SEO work. I am currently learning HTML, CSS, and should learn Javascript, but I would like to learn Python. I am also wondering if a tablet might be something you would recommend as I would like to maybe use a stylus for digital art. Note: I really did like my Asus N550JK and it was you guys who recommended me it!. Kind of hated the Macbook. Also had a Thinkpad around 2010 which I didn't like that much. It was a brick and I didn't like the keyboard or trackpad.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    I'm looking for a laptop for music production

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:11 AM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Not sure! 400 dollars maybe? And I'm in Poland

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Batter life does not matter to me, I would probably only use it at home

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not at all, though I wouldnt like it to be bulky either

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Well, ive been using windows all my life, but ive heard that macs are good for music production, so im not counting them out

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. no, but again, i wouldnt like it to be too big

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. as i said, fl studio with vsts

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? not interested in games

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

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

      I want to state that I am not a technological person, I know nothing about latops and thats why I'm looking for your help, ideally I would want to get something on a budget, I am a uni student with no job so getting a laptop would involve me getting odd jobs and saving up a lot.

    I use Fl Studio with a lot of plugins and vsts, not interested in gaming or anything. My current laptop struggles with google chrome so it totally dies, lags and stutters when I attempt to make music that involves a lot of layers and plugins and so on. as far as I understand it needs a lot of cpu, but again, I know nothing of technology so that means jack to me, could anyone point me in the direction of what I should be looking for?

    Between these three, which would be the better buy?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 09:06 PM PST

    Looking for a good all around laptop for a couple things. Maybe a little gaming but mostly Web Development as I have my desktop for gaming. Just want a laptop where I basically have nothing but coding on it to not distract me. I had narrowed it down to three. All of them are $1099. The two that are listed as $1300 are $1099 at microcenter.

    Acer Predator Helios 300

    Acer Aspire 7

    Asus TUF FX504

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

    1100 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 for the money is usually what I go for.

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

    Not too important but I also don't want it to weigh as much as a desktop

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

    Windows 10

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

    A nice looking display that is at least 15 inches would be ideal.

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

    A little gaming, mostly web development. Maybe some 3D modeling in blender but that's a big maybe. In fact, I may try to not install anything gaming related on the laptop just so I don't get distracted but the ability to do so would be a nice addition.

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

    Overwatch and Battlefield V are the two games I have been playing the most recently

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

    A comfortable keyboard and additional input device options would be nice.

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

    I have a desktop PC I mainly use to game. I have been trying to learn web development on and off for quite some time but think getting a laptop that I can use almost solely for web dev would be beneficial so I have set out to invest in one. I figured the three I saw at microcenter were pretty good deals but I am mainly a desktop guy and do not have much knowledge on laptops. So here I am.

    No budget laptop less than 315mm/12.5" WIDE

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 07:33 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase:
      No budget. Any country but most likely would buy in 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 specifications. Decent battery life.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Not important but I'm trying to find something less than 315mm/12.5" wide. Would prefer less than 305mm/12" wide however.
    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.
      Any. Would most likely install my own os.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      13" laptops less than 315mm/12.5" wide.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Mostly light work with light gaming.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Most gpu-intensive game I play is siege and my standards are quite low. Anything better than a 750m (which is my current laptop) I would be satisfied with.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      No touch screen. Would prefer usb-c charged laptop but not required.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      The dell xps 13 is decent quality, less than 12" wide, and has usb c ports and charging but it's gpu performance was subpar. I might give up gpu performance and just go for the xps 13 because I liked it's design. However, I've looked at a bunch of 13" mx150 laptops out there such as the envy 13, zenbook s13, and razer blade 13(too gamey) which all look decent also and are below 12.5" wide. Does anybody know any other similar laptops out there?

    Upgradable Laptop (Gaming.)

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 07:09 PM PST

    Hi everyone, new guy here. Struggling till I could this sub so hoping you guys could help? Thanks. So I'm not too big of a desktop fan, so I'm trying to looking to upgrades instead of have to buy an entire new laptop. Hoping it can last for about 2 years, then upgrade.

    Let's do this. Total budget and country of purchase: 1.5 to 1.7k US Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important Which OS do you require? Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? N/A Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Gaming, recording If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Maybe at 80fps high settings at least?

    Need a laptop for rendering

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:30 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Around $1500. Less the better. Country of purchase is USA. I live in India so I can only buy from well known/available brands.

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Doesn't matter if it's 2 in 1. It should have good battery life and value for money.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important.

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. At least 15 inches and whichever display is good graphical work.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Need for 3d rendering and modeling. Primary software would be 3ds max, vray, photoshop, illustrator.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Not buying for gaming.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touch pad)? At least 256gb ssd with some amount of HDD OR at least 512gb ssd alone if it doesn't come with HDD, minimum 16gb RAM is required, good if it has Thunderbolt 3 but not necessary.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I already have desktop but I need portable machine which can handle renderings and modeling work without any issues with good battery backup. It will be used for graphic intensive work so good RAM, GPU & CPU will matter.

    I have some machines in mind.

    Gigabyte aero 15W

    Asus Rog Scar II

    Lenovo P52

    Lenovo Legion Y7000

    Thanks guys.

    [Thailand or nearby] looking for ultrabook with dedicated graphics $usd 600-800

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:25 PM PST

    preferrably if I can buy it on lazada in Thailand or go to low yat in kuala lumpur or somewhere in Singapore or Japan. Ideal target is 600$, but it's probably going to be more for an ultrabook of this quality. so, target is i7 with dedicated graphics for photoshop and minor video editing, mild 3d gaming too. min 8gb ram.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Thailand, lazada online, possibly in Singapore or KL or Hongkong, slight chance of Osaka/Tokyo

    • 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, dont care about tablet functionality, dont care about touchscreen, usually plug it in as well.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? very important for lightweight

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. windows 8.1 and Fedora Linux

    • 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. adobe premeire, photoshop/lightroom latest, lots of researching with many tabs, thinkorswim trading platform

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? mildly into gaming, cs:s, maybe some more graphic intensive games, but its not high priority

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

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. would like to futureproof myself for portability and usefulness for another 3-4 years.

    Had an Asus ux305 M-5Y10c 8gb ram, ultrabook for the past 3 years now, time for a much needed upgrade.

    Fast laptop that can run intensive programs ~1500

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 06:32 PM PST

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

    1500 - 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 for the money. I like the idea of 2 in 1s if they won't conflict with performance.

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

    Not even a little bit.

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

    Needs to be windows.

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

    I want a big screen. 15 inch screen size is ideal.

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

    I would like the ability to use CAD. That's the most intensive thing I'll need. Otherwise potential for games would be cool.

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

    No clue! But I'd like to play RPGs like Witcher 3.

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

    Good keyboard is incredibly important for me. I need it to be durable and can last 4-5 years.

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

    I am biased against HP and pav, but if I'm ignorant let me know.
