    Right now there is a sale on the lenovo x1 carbon for 1300. This is the model with i7 and 16 gb of ram vs the i7 matebook x with ddr3 ram. I am going to start uni soon and I need a laptop for school that will last me for at least 4 years. I am going to be majoring in accounting and need to decide between the two.

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 07:38 PM PDT

    My budget is around $1000. I'm looking for a thin and light weight laptop. Decent battery life. Something with decent specs. Wouldnt do any demanding games on it. Would use it for media consumption,coding and some games (nothing demanding). I would like to be able to use this computer for around 4-5 years.

    I would like a cheap and affordable laptop that can run games high settings at 60hz and if that does not work. I would use medium settings.

    Posted: 12 Apr 2019 04:20 AM PDT

    I live in Norway where things are expensive. I usually look myself, but not sure. I use komplett.no and you have to convert into usd. Not sure. This is for traveling and working while traveling and some gaming. If you need examples of games that should run it. We can go with Sekiro as an example.

    Is there really not a perfect 11.5-13.5" Windows tablet choice?!

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:32 PM PDT

    Hello guys. For the past week i've been researching to find the perfect windows tablet choice for my specific application need. However it seems there isn't even one device that doesn't have some type of throwback. I'm not asking for everything, but it seems it is either hit or miss, even if you take into account overpriced products. Please hear me out and let me know your thoughts.

    I am essentially looking for a WINDOWS TABLET which its primary purpose is to be fitted to my car as a secondary "dash" per say so i can use it to interact with my aftermarket motorsports ecu. It will function as a monitoring dash for the most of the time, but can be used to datalog (aka record data) or for direct tuning (so i don't have to bring my laptop everytime i need to make changes to my engine calibration). I wouldn't mind using it at home as well since i will have it, but mostly will work as a travel/trip companion since i have a PC at home. It has to be a WINDOWS tablet as the software that interfaces with the ecu is only windows based.

    After thinking and revising my requirements several times after getting disappointed by what is available here is the break down:

    • Dimensions: Height needs to be around ~205mm +10mm max so the tablet can be secured in the glove box when not in use. Ideally height should be maximized so that the display area is maximized as well. Length larger than 300mm is not a problem but would get annoying to fit to the car since it will extend more towards the passenger side. This effectively limits me to ~11.8-13.3" tablets, so Microsoft Surface Pro can be used as a reference design (since i haven't seen bezel-less windows tablets yet)

    • Display: This is the most important attribute of the tablet. 1080p absolute minimum resolution, 2K ideally, 3K is probably not gonna be noticeable at the usage distance. Here is a screenshot from my 1080p laptop so you can see the ECU software in datalog mode (slightly cropped but so you can get an idea: http://content.invisioncic.com/r260425/monthly_2017_09/fuel_pressure_link.png.bc827c0a96fe120632f1d7c168e66a64.png

    • However let's not forget brightness and contrast. Brightness should be ~400nits or better for a glossy display, and contrast should be considered over color accuracy. Viewing angle in the length span should be at least 150deg but i think it is hard nowadays to find such a bad display panel. Finally a fully laminated panel is recommended.

    • Physical interfaces: I essentially need a single full size USB port so i can connect my ECU to the tablet. After my research i decided to allow for USB-C assuming that i can get a dongle that will allow me to interface without any issues; but it's best not to allow for that route due to possible incompatibility issues (like what happened when usb3.0 was released). Extra USB ports, USB-C that allows charging and data, video output port, headphone jack, m.2 expansion slot, sd card slot are all pluses.

    • Wireless interfaces: Min wifi and bluetooth. 802.11AC and bluetooth v4.2 or better all pluses.

    • CPU/GPU performance: Generally something better than N3450 (tested my brother's CHUWI surbook mini) and more recent will help, GPU performance is irrelevant for the task so the majority of intergrated GPU's will do fine.

    • RAM: 4GB absolute minimum, 8gb ideal

    • Cooling: I prefer passive cooling, but usually the cooling solution used is sh*t. At least in some cases it can be modded (i'm experienced and willing to do)

    • Battery: 4 hours light use with full display brightness as minimum. If charging is performed over USB-C i hope it is not the stupid kind of power->battery->device like in phones and can work like in laptops where the battery is not used when power is supplied to the laptop. This way you don't wear out the battery since the device will be connected to power most of the time it is operated.

    • Storage: 64gb absolute min, ideal min should be 128gb, speed is relative but i think at least m.2 sata interface

    • Others: Pen support and attachable keyboard are pluses, but i plan on using a good bluetooth keyboard with backlight (required) so it makes them irrelevant if the tablet is good, Thunderbolt 3 is a +, unlocked bios +, kickstand should work on a lap without cutting your pants off and stay in one place, sd card reader +

    • Reliability: From what i read most chinese tablets are pretty bad with both hardware and software issues out of the box. Backcover should be metal to act as heatsink and be stiff enough, weight and thickness is not that important

    • Condition: New or used. I believe some products offer better value when bought used and others because have been discontinued

    • Pricing: My budget is flexible but depending on the features lots of them are overpriced especially bought new. I would say ~500eur for a new tablet with min features required and 1000eur for one with better hardware. Considering i'm building a 7nm PC in a couple of months the market pricing is really unacceptable for most windows tablets. Blame Apple for it, but i'm not a rich consumer neither i am a sheep. Performance to value is what i always look for.

    I literally checked every windows tablet and 2-in-1 i believe. Here some potential picks and what i didn't like.

    • Microsoft Surface Pro (4 - 5 - 6): At first glance it is a good base candidate..but..really Microsoft? It's 2019 and no USB-C? Proprietary connector and overpriced hardware? Questionable reliability? Get the f*ck out of here. Unless you find a good used deal i don't think it would be worth it. Another Apple wannabe.

    • Eve-tech EVE V: This is one tablet that hits all the boxes, kinda, since by now it is almost obsolete in terms of CPU performance..sadly while i'm greek-cypriot i would go with the stereotypical view for greeks because the CEO is a "malakas" and i'm really sorry to all the people that were scammed. On the other hand i believe there is some truth to the Paypal issues he had since my friend had similar issues (because of not much experience) and even I couldn't help him get them fixed as Paypal is run by assholes as well which need a punch to the face (their excuse it is the system and they can't do anything about it - like wtf). I still use it but the time a different payment system reaches similar adoption i would gladly switch.

    • Chuwi Surbook: Slow CPU, screen is not fully laminated, mediocre specs but was good price at some time ago. Maybe the announced "surbook pro" would fair better?

    • Voyo Vbook i5/i7 Plus: Nice screen, fair pricing? Not the most quality build, shitty battery, i7 model throttles?

    • Teclast X6 Pro: A slightly better vbook i5? No full detailed reviews yet, and i wasn't that impressed from the previous X5 review

    • Alldocube Knote 8: Seems good on paper, but no type-A usb ports

    • Jumper EZpad 6: Possibly the only windows tablet in stock with a good value, however i need something with a better and larger display

    • Acer Switch 3/5: Mediocre screens, single type-A port on the right side (since my car is RHD and the ecu is on the left side i would prefer it on the left side), shitty battery performance, a little overpriced

    • Dell XPS 12 9290/Latitude 5290/Latitude 7285: Great displays, powerful, only 5290 has type-A port, mediocre battery life, overpriced but there are good used deals

    • Asus Transformer 3 Pro T303UA/T304UA: Premium specs but discontinued, expensive, only 1 type-A port and it is on the right side (again), T304 is a huge step backwards even though newer (what the heck Asus, are you drunk?)

    • Lenovo ThinkPad X1: Overpriced, no type-A ports, Gen3 is too big and has display coating issues, Gen2 is more suitable due to size and type-a interface but older and screen brightness not that good - all too tall

    • Lenovo MIIX series: new 630 uses an ARM processor so no go (since i can't force the software developpers to re-compile), 720 rates very high in the features i need, 2 usb type-A ports, nice display, etc. 520 is a little newer with weaker hardware but still good for its price

    • HP Pro X2/Envy X2/Elite X2 1012: HP's other offerings like the Elite X2 1013 are too tall for my needs, and while they have good displays and good build quality i am not font of their design decisions. I have a Zbook 17 G5 workstation at work we bought new and not even 6 months passed and the CPU fan now rattles like crazy..here's my 1st day rant about it: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Note-to-HP-Zbook-17-G5-design-engineers-Please-read-and/td-p/6914797 Also they are overpriced like crazy. I wouldn't ever think of buying again from them. Also the power supply is proprietary as some of the internal hardware. F*ck HP

    • Huawei MateBook E: Aside the lack of ports it is a pretty good designed device, display is perfect but slightly smaller than the biggest i can fit - depending on price it might be a good consideration assuming i can run a USB-C dock i can charge within the car

    • Samsung Galaxy Book 12: Similar to the Huawei above, just a little faster but with a worse display, extra usb-C port. Older and more expensive than the Huawei

    • Toshiba Portege X30T and others: Ports are on the keyboard and not on the tablet, won't work for me.

    I think i've covered 99% of the options but i may could have missed 1 or 2. To be honest i won't need this tablet for another 3-6months i would guess but at least i've done my research so i will be prepared when the time comes to buy one. What do you think? I know i went a little crazy but i'm that type of person that never regrets his purchasing choices because i don't buy blindly.

    Gigabyte Aero 15x v8-BK4 Review

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 12:09 PM PDT

    Hey those looking to buy a gaming laptop, here is my experience with the Gigabyte Aero 15x.

    Pros: Lightweight, relatively long battery life, strong graphics card, decent colors on the display

    Cons: Lots of bloatware pre-installed, I would recommend a fresh wipe once you get it and reinstall the drivers from their website. Beyond that the price is high compared to desktops but reasonable compared to similar laptops.

    Overall, its pretty solid. You may want to wait for Black Friday if money is a concern (it drops considerably.) For me, a college student with no room for a desktop PC, this laptop is perfect. Its small and light enough to bring to class and has the battery life to support long study sessions. Compared to MSI, its a dream. My laptop hasnt experienced any significant problems since I got it 6 months ago. Wanted to put this here in case someone wanted to know. Questions are welcomed.

    Link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834233237&Description=gigabyte%20aero%2015x&cm_re=gigabyte_aero_15x-_-34-233-237-_-Product

    Note: Went down to $1500 or $1600 on Black Friday/Cyber Monday

    Which Thinkpad for under $850?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 05:53 AM PDT

    I'm stuck between two ThinkPads that are from previous generations. The X1 Carbon 5th gen and the T480. Both models can be purchased for less than $850 right now.

    Both share these features: 1080p 8 GB RAM 512 GB SSD

    The T480 has the i5-8250 processor, upgradeable RAM and power bridge battery

    The X1C5 has the i5-6300u and is much more portable.

    I am buying a laptop for use in business school. Will the older processor be noticeable in day-to-day life? Will 8 GB of ram be sufficient for the next few years?

    I'm leaning towards the X1 because it seems like it is more suited to portability. But, if the older processor and 8 GB of nonupgradeable RAM will have a severe negative impact, I will opt for the T480

    College Student looking for Light Laptop with good battery that can handle games

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 12:20 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Up to about 2000 dollars, ideally less. 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. 6/7 + hours of battery is a must. 2 in 1 would be nice but not required. 16 gb ram and a dgpu are also both musts

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Very important. Thinness not so much, but the thinner the better. Laptop should be under 5-6 lbs but can go over

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. I don't care

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13 to 15 inches

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I do a little video editing and have done cad work in the past. However the most strenuous things that I plan on using the laptop for is gaming.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Overwatch at at least 1080p and 60 fps. Destiny 2 would be the higher end. For me, I need 60 fps at 1080p to play a game at a decent level

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? If it's not a 2 in 1 touch screen does not matter. Build quality is a priority as is a good keyboard.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Gonna get some hate for this, but the laptop should have decent form factor without huge bezels. Huge ugly logos are a pet peeve of mine. The screen should be high quality as well.

    Hello fellow redditors!

    I am an Executive Director for a restaurant chain and I am looking to upgrade my 5 year old laptop to something new and shiny. I currently use an HP Envy mk7 and it has served me well over the years.

    My main usage from the new laptop would be for work related purposes, which includes large websites like HotSchedules, large data spreadsheets, Google Drive, and some minor photo/video editing. I also want to use this laptop while I travel so video streaming would be important.

    Mainly looking for something that is fast, efficient, and holds good battery.

    • Price Range - Under $850.00

    • Needs Touch Screen

    • SSD with high storage is desireable

    Let me know your thoughts!

    Looking for some help choosing a basic and cheap notebook. (Chile - $250-300)

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 10:01 PM PDT

    I'm from Chile, but I'm looking for a computer on te US on amazon for about $250-300. I prefer a notebook that has a long battery life and if it's possible, to have a 2 in 1 form factor. It's very important to me that the notebook has to ve very lightweight, because I want to use it for the university and for carrying everywhere and I don't have much space to transport my 15.6 inch, 3.5 kilogram laptop. I'm looking for a Linux OS or a windows that is capable for running Linux on VirtualBox. I preer the 10.1 screen size. Recently I want to use it for programming basic things on C and C++, and if it's possible some light games for example, the binding of isaac, and if it's possible CS:GO at 30 fps or lower . I'm only looking for a comfortable keyboard for fast typing.

    Recently I saw an Acer switch V10 (intel atom x5-Z8350 version) and a Lenovo Flip 11 (both windows 10) and I was undecided because I don't know what notebook it's better or more suitable for my prefferences.

    Thanks in advance

    Personal/Gaming Combo Laptop for a Casual Gamer

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 09:53 PM PDT

    Hi all, just stumbled upon this sub during a google search and am thrilled it exists, thanks in advance for the advice. I really love the reddit communities like this that exist primarily to help bridge knowledge gaps and help folks out with their big decision/new hobby/what have you. Thanks for contributing to it.

    tldr; I am hoping to spend $1500 or less, with a hard limit of $2000, on a laptop for personal use, with a bit of business and a bit of gaming. Those prices would have to include any/all upgrades (which I'd very much rather pay and have installed before it ships). I'd like it to (in this order):

    1. Comfortably run new games on high settings, but it doesn't need to be an absolute powerhouse of a machine
    2. Have a respectable battery life when doing stuff in MS Office or streaming video.
    3. Be generally comfortable for travel. I don't care much about any one thing, but it running super hot/loud or being exceptionally boxy is a minus. (I promise I'm not super fussy on this part, I'll just be travelling with it fairly often and lighter/cooler/quieter is better than heavier/hotter/louder)

    What do you reddit angels suggest?

    It'll be my personal laptop for general life stuff, I'm sure some business will need to be done on it (I work in data technology, there'll be some heavy data sets but nothing too demanding), but I'd like to be able to play games on it as well. In general, I tend to go weeks or months without playing video games, then shamelessly binge on them for 2-10 days. I'm more concerned with a machine that can be expected to scratch that itch for me with any game that comes out in the next couple years than I am with getting a machine that'll melt my face off with a million frames per second on maximum settings. Also I didn't even mention this in the tldr because I'm confident it's a non-issue for any decent laptop, but I do love music. I'll always be listening through headphones, but if one laptop is known to produce crisper sounds than another, I'd toss that in the nice-to-know category. that Beyond that, the better it travels the better it is for me.

    I've currently narrowed it down to the following, although I wouldn't be posting here if I wasn't open to someone suggesting an option I haven't considered. (Also, fair warning, for someone that works in tech I am a total fucking ignoramus on hardware -- see my above remark about not even knowing whether 'sound quality' was really at thing for laptops -- so if there is some particular hardware differentiation I should really care about, I'd genuinely appreciate being told why I should care about)

    MSI GE73 Raider RGB-676 -- Honestly not sure what options I'd get here, especially as tinkering with them seems to affect the price quite a bit and, sometimes, in counter-intuitive ways (at least here on NewEgg, and at least from my underinformed perspective).

    MSI GP Series GP63 Leopard-428 -- I'd get this with the 1070 GPU and 8GB of Video Ram, which currently looks to be on sale for $1400 from $1700. Only real concern is the rash of bad reviews/complaints on NewEgg. Some of them seem silly, but a few sound very frustrating, and a couple have called out battery life specifically.

    Razer RZ09-02705E76-R3U1 -- this (likely with the 1TB hdd and 128GB SSD) is the one I almost pulled the trigger on, but I've heard it can run pretty hot. I'll spend a decent amount of time streaming videos while travelling for work, and working while...working for work. It's hard for me to contextualize what "running hot" means for a laptop; if it just wouldn't be nice and chill to the touch that's fine, but if it'll be genuinely uncomfortable to keep in my lap or type on for extended stretches that'll be a significant buzzkill.

    Again, I'm totally open to options other than these, but I am looking to buy quickly.

    Thanks again, everybody. I really appreciate the input.

    TechFault - A wiki to record common issues with laptops, how to potentially fix them, etc.

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 05:58 PM PDT

    TechFault is a wiki I'm hosting. The goal is to just have as much information about as many devices and their potentially problematic traits hosted on the wiki, and really to just centralize a ton of fragmented knowledge about issues with devices into one central wiki.

    If you've had bad or a lot of experience with certain hardware or laptops, you should check it out!

    Laptop with a removable battery

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 08:27 PM PDT

    I'm a student looking for a laptop with a removable battery. I just need it for web browsing and microsoft office. I'm moving in a residence and I'm gonna use the laptop as a desktop, while I'm gonna bring my XPS 13 with me.

    I'm in Canada and I'd like to know if finding a machine like this is possible for around 400 USD.

    Thank you in advance!

    Legion Y740 or else?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:37 PM PDT

    Total budget and country of purchase: - Up to $2000, Indonesia

    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 spec for money

    How important is weight and thinness to you? - not important. Mostly need a mobile desktop

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

    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. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? - I'll need lots of gaming, mainly Monster Hunter World for now, I need 60 FPS on high or better setting. Also plan on doing some VR stuffs.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? - preferably good build quality, must have Thunderbolt for future eGPU upgrade, must have 120 or 144hz screen to benefit from future upgrades.

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

    So I've finally saved up enough to upgrade my 960m.. I've been eyeing the Lenovo Legion Y740 with RTX 2060 which I can get at around $1978 here. I just need some confirmation if this is still the best bang for my buck as of recently..

    Tried looking at some Predators, but they are inexplicably more expensive here. Looked at some Alienware, but only the much more expensive models have screens other than 60hz. MSI stuffs also don't go below $2000 with such specs.

    Please help me make up my mind before I regret this purchase.. Thanks in advance.

    HP Pavilion 15-cx0020nr

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:28 PM PDT

    Saw this laptop in my local store and was wondering what other people thought of it? Right now, with a 5 year protection plan it'll be $562. The specs are a 15.6" screen, GTX1050Ti, Intel Core i5 8th Gen, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD + 16GB Optane. For the price I feel like it's pretty good especially compared to my old one which is a HP Compaq Presario CQ-62.

    [US][15inch][~$1000]

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:27 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: USA, would like to keep the laptop (minus tax) under $1,000

    • 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 and Specs are about equal, no need for 2in1

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Will be bringing it on travel a lot (airports), thinner the better

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Around 14-15inch

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Light gaming - Diablo 2, Parkitect

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? See above, would like to play at native resolution at the screens refresh rate

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Build Quality is key I think, no need for the others RGB isn't really my thing, but a simple backlit keyboard would be nice!

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Not too sure about the screen specs, 1080p @120/144Hz would be great though! 256GB SSD (SATA/NVME) would be enough.

    Thank You

    Looking for an affordable laptop that runs Linux. US, 13 Inches, $500

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:25 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Country of purchase is US. No budget, just looking for a cheap, reliable, and new laptop that meets the minimum requirements.

    • 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'm basically looking for a laptop to run Xilinx Vivado on a Linux distribution. The minimum system requirements are: 2.2 GHz CPU or higher Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, or Xeon Processors; SSE2 minimum for processor 2 GB RAM 1024x768 Resolution or higher More details in link provided.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? I want the laptop to be small and portable. Something thin would be nice, but it doesn't have to be a MacBook Air.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Something that runs CentOS or Ubuntu rather than Windows. I can make do with Windows, but I'd rather not.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13 inches ideally, but I have some leeway.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. The software is pretty intensive, I suppose you can compare it to video editing.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Something easy to type on, a few USB ports, sd card slot, nothing fancy. Definitely does not have to have touch screen, optical drive, finger print reader, webcam, etc.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

    Which Lenovo should i get with identical specs (under 600$)

    Posted: 11 Apr 2019 02:31 PM PDT

    ThinkPad E580 (560$) VS Ideapad 330 (535$) VS Ideapad 110 (460$).

    Specs: CPU core-i5 - 8th U Ram 8 DDR4 storage 1TB.

    P.s: The only difference being that the Ideapad 330 has a Nividia Mx150.

    I am an Eng. student, I am a heavy tech user, I do watch lots of movies and use the web allot, the heaviest task i would do would be light Photoshop or AutoCAD 2D, and the only difference between the above seems to be the group they advertise to, which would you recommend to me?
