| Looking for a decent gaming laptop NZ Posted: 02 Feb 2019 12:24 AM PST Total budget and country of purchase: I'm looking at about $1000NZD can possibly stretch by a couple hundred Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. It'll mostly stay on a charger anyhow, I want something that wont slow down anytime soon How important is weight and thinness to you? N/A Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. The standard 15.6 is fine Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Realistically only Runescape 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)? backlit keyboard would be cool but not required. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I have always bought second-hand laptops that tend to get slow not long after. I have a desktop so it won't be my primary computer but I do want it to last. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Feb 2019 03:57 PM PST My budget is about 800-850, which I would say is pretty realistic in this area. However, I don't want a laptop that thermal throttles. Also, (I DONT WANT THE 7567). Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||
| [800 euros/900 usd] Clean look laptop(not aggressive angles and red/rgb lights) Posted: 02 Feb 2019 01:02 AM PST Hey there,Please, do not recommend to get Acer laptops. I do not trust their mid-low budget plastic models. Dell 7557 is not an option also, i`m not in USA, so it`s hard to get it on an affordable price.Going to order laptop from https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/ Total budget and country of purchase: Russia; 800 euros or 900 usd Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Good specifications(cooling:performance), battery life around 4-5 hours of typing with spotify and several browser tabs or movies. How important is weight and thinness to you? I am not going to take it out often, but still wanna it weigh under 3 kgs(without HDD). Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Gonna use both windows and linux, but i can install it by myself, so do not really care. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14-15,6 would be just fine Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Light editing in photoshop, sony vegas, running coding IDEs and some light gaming. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I checked benchmarks and would like to get one of the following GPUs: mx150, gtx 1050, gtx 1050 ti. Key factor in making choice between these three gpus would be build quality and thermals. If i have to choose between great MX150 laptop and a gtx 1050ti throttling and creaking plastic machine, i`d go for the first one. Any specific requirements such as a good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good backlit keyboard(customisable or white/blue), because i will type a lot, reliable build quality and at least 256 SSD(or no ssd at all, so i can put my own). Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I wanna get a clean look laptop(again NOT Acer) with good build quality, nice thermals(going to undervolt and repaste it), 8GB of Ram, upgradeable to 16. Easy access inside would be great too, because i am not an expert in disassembling laptops. Talking about list of preferred GPUs - i would be absolutely fine even with MX150, if laptop meets my other requirments. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||
| Best budget laptop that runs AutoCAD? Posted: 02 Feb 2019 04:04 AM PST

| Posted: 02 Feb 2019 03:44 AM PST I'm looking for a laptop for web browsing, coding, document writing for uni (compsci) with solid build quality and good battery, but i'm stuck on the details. I'm tossing up between the Dell Latitude E7440 and the X1 Carbon. I'd like to discern the differences between these laptops or find the X1's screen type (touch, FHD or QHD). Which has better battery life, keyboard, etc? Is the function display bar on the X1 worth it? I'm not even sure of the specifics of the X1 as the description on Newegg is limited. -Running Linux if anyone could suggest one for further compatibility I don't mind other laptop recommendations, but i'm not interested in anything with <8gb ram, 1366x768, heavy or bulky, more than ~800AUS or not an SSD. Cheers [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||

| Looking for a ~$2500AUD laptop with thin bezels and a GPU good for some medium gaming!

I have looked at the Huwaei Matebook x pro but its a bit hard to obtain in Australia and the ASUS Zenbook s but it does not have Thunderbolt 3 compatibility. Thanks in advance!

| Would love some more opinions. No real budget, Canada. Posted: 01 Feb 2019 11:05 PM PST
Canada - $4000
Best specs first, battery second, 2 in 1 third.
I don't want a brick. Will be used primarily while travelling.
Windows. Have a MacBook pro, do not like MacOS.
14+
Primarily Photoshop, illustrator, and InDesign. Occasionally premiere and Aftereffects. Web dev as well. Would be interested in music production options, Kontakt + Ableton 10. I like to game, but it's not a requirement for the laptop, I have a desktop. Games could be LOL or smaller steam platformers.
League of Legends. I love the Surface Book 2, Lenovo X1 Extreme and the new Razer Blade. I get that the battery in the blade is going to be poor, and the Surface Book has questionable build quality. Would love something that could last a few years. Gaming is a nice feature, but don't want a gaudy design. Aero 15 is a possibility too. Any other suggestions would be great. Or arguments for any of my 3/4 choices. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Feb 2019 10:59 PM PST So I've been doing a lot of searching around and i believe that I've found a laptop that gives a lot of bang for the buck. The Asus ROG GU501GM has an intel i7-8750h, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1060 6GB, it's got a thunderbolt port, a 128Gb SATA SSD, 1 TB HDD. I'm pretty sure it has a 120 Hz screen with FHD. It's currently offered for $1299.99 at Best Buy and when i bump up the ram or storage or add a discrete GPU in other laptops to match this laptop, nothing compares to the price of the Asus ROG GU501GM. What i would like to know is if anyone has heard of any serious problems with this laptop? It seems too good of a deal for it to have no problems. Maybe I'm just pessimistic but i would like to know of any outstanding problems with this device. I plan on making some games in Unity, playing black ops 3 zombies, fortnite, and I'm a computer science student so it would be nice to be able to keep the same laptop for at least the next 3-4 years.

| Posted: 01 Feb 2019 10:43 PM PST My budget is no more than the Alienware. Prefer to spend a little less, but I suppose I would only save $100 with the Sager. relevant specs:
I am very confused by the Area-51m specs as $2549 is normally the starting price, which includes crappy specs other than the RTX 2070, but among other upgrades this one has 144hz FHD G-Sync. It costs $3000 on the Alienware website, which is still an ok price. Though you would have to add $200 tax to that. I prefer the lighting of the Y740 and the general build but I don't actually care how heavy my laptop is as it will be used like a desktop. The NP9176 should be upgradable with the MXM, but I don't know about this. The Area-51m is also made to be upgradable. I am wondering if 2080MQ with 8750h or 2070 with 9700k performs better. notebookcheck.com showed that these combinations are pretty much on par with each other. I think the Area-51m appears to be the best deal if it is legit. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||

| [USA] [Under $1000] 13-14 inch laptop for schoolwork and travel Posted: 01 Feb 2019 09:43 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: USA; Under $1000 Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Good battery life is essential, but I don't want any unnecessary specification sacrifices. I do not want a 2 in 1 form factor. How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight and thinness is very important. I would like something that I can easily lug around in my backpack (for reference, I'm a puny 5'3" woman). Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13 to 14 inches. Nothing too small, nothing too big. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Would like the capability of running Solidworks. Light gaming, but I imagine nothing that would require more than Solidworks would. 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)? Good keyboard and reliable build quality would be appreciated. I would like the insides to last at least 4-5 years before needing to upgrade. Touch screen would be a nice bonus, but it's not necessary. Random note that I really liked the Trackpoint on Thinkpads, but I'm not sure if a Thinkpad would be suitable for my purposes. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||

| Sanity Check: Helios 300 for Fusion 360 and future? Posted: 01 Feb 2019 08:03 PM PST I'm in the market for a new laptop. The Acer Predator Helios 300 from Amazon keeps bubbling up to the top of my list, but I'd like to get an internet stranger opinion on the state of things before I pull the trigger. Will primarily support my Fusion360/Inkscape habit for cosplay purposes. * **Total budget and country of purchase:** USA- Max $1500 * **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 and durable. I'd prefer quiet, but I'm probably not going to tax the system that much except for renderings and I'll deal then. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I'll keep it in my lap on the couch, but don't mind if it has some heft if that helps cooling and performance * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 15.6 seems to be the sweet spot for me * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Fusion360, Inkscape, possibly some Meshmixer and other things related to 3D printing * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** Last game I played regularly on PC was Diablo III when it came out. If this thing can run things, that's great, but it's not my priority. I've been looking at laptops since Thanksgiving and missed the closeouts on Lenovo Legions at my local Costco. The Helios seems to be what I'm going for, but Reddit has become my catch-all for things like this. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||
