| Please help me to decide between these laptops Posted: 29 May 2019 02:01 AM PDT Hi, I'm looking into replacing my old lenovo y50 with something that has a nice mobility factor (weight,size), 15 inch display, good performance for the main purposes of programming including game dev (not super demanding but rather small indie projects), productivity and occasionaly gaming. I've narrowed my search into these 3 models, to give you an example of what I'm looking for: Dell XPS 15 9570 with i7-8750H, 1050Ti. (seems to suit me the most but I've read some bad things about the build quality and problems with overheating and sound, also this one is the most expensive, has great reviews). Lenovo Legion Y530 with i7-8750H, GTX 1060. (heavier than the dell, but not that critical, also the cheapest) Asus ZenBook Pro UX550GE with i7-8750H, 1050Ti. (reviews arent' great) Would love to have your input, thanks :) [link] [comments]  |

| Laptop for Programming, College, light gaming. Posted: 28 May 2019 04:48 PM PDT
I was thinking about getting Acer Swift 3 with i7, mx150, and 512 GB SSD. What are your thoughts? I'm open to any other recommendations :) Also, is a dedicated graphics card worth it in your opinion when it comes to programming? Thank you very much for any responses! [link] [comments]  |

| 13 vs 15 inch student laptop with some gaming Posted: 28 May 2019 02:53 PM PDT Hey there! I am a senior student in search of a laptop and can not decide on the size I need. I am not sure if I am ready to sacrifice Portability and weight for better performance and larger screen. Maybe those of you who have already made the choice could help me out. Recently, I have been reviewing laptops like Dell xps 13 or 15 Msi ps 63 Zenbook s13 Razer blade stealth. However my ideal was HP Spectre x360 15'. My heart leant towards it. 1050 ti max q allowed enough space for gaming and the design is just phenomenal. I almost got arowsed by it. However after reading reviews and watching YouTube, it does not look as good as I thought. I love everything about it but the display (wobbly, big delay) and track pad (not running windows precision and having large dead zones), which in fact appeared to be the dealbreakers. Now, I am not even sure about the size. As I thought 15 inch chassy gives room for better gpu and larger screen ( which I need for gaming and writing papers split-screen). However, the weight increases a lot. 0.5-1 kg difference might play a big role. All in all, I hope you guys could change my mind on HP x360 or maybe give your opinion on the other laptops I listed above. Just in case I have missed something in the market, I have attached the form below so you guys could suggest me something else. Total budget and country of purchase: USA, preferably up to 1500$

| Needing a jack of all trades kind of laptop Posted: 29 May 2019 03:48 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: Looking for something at a maximum of 1000€. Portugal here. 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. Best specifications preferred. How important is weight and thinness to you? Very. Will be carrying it around. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Around 14-15" Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Will be working with Adobe software - Photoshop, Illustrator and Audation. Also working on web design and development, as well as mobile development. Might be eventually running some analysis on datasets and physical simulations. Light gaming is also expected (League of Legends, Starcraft 2) without need for high graphics. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Not concerted. Low settings are fine by me. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? N/A. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Have been looking at the HP Pavillion 15. Namely the i7 CPU version with 1 TB HDD and the i5 CPU with HDD+SSD. [link] [comments]  |
| The Acer E15 with MX150 and SSD, do you really need the Acer Caddy? Posted: 29 May 2019 03:42 AM PDT I noticed that this Acer has a free 2.5 SSD/HDD/SSHD slot cuz it already has a m.2 256 GB SSD in it but I wonder... The Acer laptop caddy on the Acer website is 8 dollars, but I hail from Hawaii so it is 50+ dollar shipping when I check out... Do I really need the Acer caddy to fit in a 2.5 SATA3 SSD in it? Are there alternatives or solutions to add the 2.5 SSD in the Acer E15? [link] [comments]  |
| Questions on the Acer Aspire E15 for Gaming Posted: 28 May 2019 09:30 PM PDT https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-i5-8250U-GeForce-E5-576G-5762/dp/B075FLBJV7
I do not intend on using the E15 for any more demanding games than F4. In fact I want to strictly limit myself to 2D games or Visual Novels and such. F4 is the only exception. I actually wanted this to work on Ren'Py, that's all, but my older bro wants to play on it to play Fallout 4. [link] [comments]  |

| Need a laptop under €800 for photo and video editing Posted: 29 May 2019 03:15 AM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: €800 and I live in Romania 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 money How important is weight and thinness to you? - A lightweight laptop would be nice so I can carry it around easier, but it's not a must 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. - I'm going to use Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro. No gaming at all Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? - I need a display that offers good colour accuracy. A good keyboard would be nice as well. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts about the ROG Strix Scar II (GTX1070) Posted: 29 May 2019 03:07 AM PDT Hello, I would like to know your thoughts about this laptop and if a 1070 in 2019 is worth it ? Thanks ! [link] [comments]  |
| A quality laptop for typing/writing and web surfing Posted: 28 May 2019 10:32 PM PDT Updated from this post. I made some changes due to budget concerns and re-assessing my priorities. Backlit keyboard not important anymore given they seem to be rare on the cheaper machines. SSD is more important. The size of the SSD can be the smallest available; 128GB.
USA - $600 (flexible) with extended warranty.
Good battery life would be nice but I plan to be using it where I can plug it in a lot.
Not that important. I will mostly use it on a desk or coffee table.
Windows.
Decent size. Probably 15" but I am not adamant about it.
Not planning on it. No. I have a desktop for that stuff.
Long or extendable warranty. Good reliable build quality. SSD would be nice. I plan to type, surf the web and watch videos on this thing. Anything else isn't necessary. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 May 2019 07:31 PM PDT Hello, I'm trying to get into pc gaming but as someone who's going to be going to college in a few months I'll need a labtop and won't be able to get a full on pc set up. What are some recommendations you guys have for good gaming laptops around the 1,500 dollar range. It dosen't need to be a super computer or anything, something that can just run simple games like overwatch and rainbow six siege. Preferably if it's a model Best Buy has that'll be best because that's really the only place near me that actually sells gaming laptops in person. TL;DR I need a gaming labtop pc for around 1,500 for college. [link] [comments]  |
| Opinion on HP Pavilion 15 Ryzen 5 3500U Posted: 29 May 2019 01:22 AM PDT Hi guys, i wanted to ask your opinion on this HP laptop: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/studentenprogramm/notebooks/hp/hp+pavilion+15+cw1104ng What i like about this laptop is the Ryzen 5 3500U, the M.2 SSD, 8GB RAM, low price (as a student and in combination with a coupon i only pay around 400€), partly aluminium chassis and AC WiFi. But i just don't know, whether i should buy it or if there is a better alternative for the price available. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 May 2019 01:17 AM PDT I'm looking to buy a new laptop ( questionnaire at bottom). I need it principally for music production and general use. I run ableton and I max it out completely - live VSTS, many midi programs, lots of effects. I'd like to run more than I currently can, and at any given time it will be processing musical instrument fx, inputting midi from a keyboard, outputting midi to another instrument, etc etc. This means it's also going to be moved around a lot and used live, so compact + durable is a plus, and happy to choose some lower specs that still run what I want for the smaller size. It's possible I'll be using it to also do some video work too but this isn't certain so not as major of a factor. The laptop would also just be for casual use for work (basic word processing, data analysis etc). So the only factor here is, smaller again is ideal, Some history:Currently running a Dell Inspiron 7559 (Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz, 8gb Ram, Windows 10 home) which is pretty much on death's door. It's served me pretty well, but can run a bit slow occasionally when I max out programs. I have encountered many issues with its bloatware and windows 10, as well as the shell and hardware. Stuff that appears to be like a memory leak, sound issues, whole ranges of stuff. It seems to be the norm that people these issues with laptops but I am absolutely sick of spending hours just figuring out some basic issues that seems to ship with the PC. That's neither here nor there, but I guess a reliable computer with limited known issues is desirable... I was recently recommended a Lenovo Carbon X1. It looks pretty nice and has a lot of good specs, but my only concern is the standard videocard, which would render me unable to play a games/limit video production should I try (I imagine). Total budget and country of purchase: Melbourne, Australia. Prefer 2-2500AUD. Absolute max, $3000 for the perfect, long lasting machine. Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. In order of importance - Best specs, battery life, 2in1. However all would be great in ideal circumstance. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not hugely important - but as I want to use it for work, I'm prefer a smaller one that's a little less powerful (assuming it can still run my programs). Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Large preference for Windows, would be willing to use mac. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Largely indifferent. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. The most heavy use would be for sound production (Ableton, virtual instruments, Midi). I can imagine video editing and casual gaming could come into it, but they are not priorities at this stage. If I were to perform video editing, premiere pro would be used, as well as other unknown live video production tools. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Game infrequently/casually. Happy to run newer games on lower settings if I play. This is tricky, because if a perfect machine that ticked every box except gaming came into it, I'd take it. To me gaming is an optional luxury. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I have no specific requirements listed - i like the idea of a touch screen and would be pretty happy with one. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I am not hugely fussed about looks, design, or other little features - however as it's used live in music, it gets moved around a lot so something with a bit of durability would be fantastic. All extra features, e.g. a touch screen, or super high res screens are not hugely important to me. I'd like to have them, but the main purpose is a laptop that can run me maxing out a bunch of music programs and is also just a nice little workhorse for doing work stuff (e.g. mostly just documents, presentation, data analysis). The stuff is all just extra but optional fun. Thank you so much! [link] [comments]  |

I have no issues buying refurbished/open box, or even used if it's somewhere I can return if it turns out faulty. I've never bought used and I don't know if buying used from a person is worth the hassle of making sure everything is working. [link] [comments]  |
| Help a student decide between two laptops; or suggest something else Posted: 29 May 2019 01:01 AM PDT I'm deciding between two laptops: Lenovo Yoga 530-14 (81EK00YRSC) Specs: OS: Windows 10 Home, Display: 14.0" AntiGlare IPS Touch, Resolution: FullHD(1920x1080), CPU: i3-7020U(3M, 2.3GHz), RAM: 8 GB DDR4, SSD: 256 GB, Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620, 1x USB-C, 2x USB 3.0, HDMI, CardReader, Battery: 4-cell and HP Pavilion x360 15-cr0007nm (4TY77EA) Specs: OS: Windows 10 Home, Display: 15.6" TouchScreen, Resolution: 1920x1080, CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U (1.6- 3.4GHz, 6MB), RAM: 8GB DDR4, SSD: 256GB, VGA: Intel UHD 620, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2xUSB3.1, 1xTypeC, HDMI, AUX, SD card reader, Battery: 3-cell Both are great as I see, the Lenovo is 14" and 1.6kg and HP is 15.6" and 1.98kg. HP has better specs (i5 vs i3 in Lenovo) but I'm not sure if the size and weight difference would make it difficult for mobility with it? I also read that this model is loud, which I can't stand since my old Asus sounds like a jumbo jet. Any experience, advice, suggestions? Thank you!

| Posted: 29 May 2019 12:52 AM PDT Netherlands, 700-900 euros Been looking for a nice working laptop that I need to carry every day. Was looking at dell XPS (own a XPS 13 for personal use) but they are outside my budget. The new Inspiron 15 7000 or Vostro 15 7000 are looking good too but right now there are no sales on them. Would this Asus be a good pick? Most of my work is office and chrome, but I do like to have a lot of stuff open. Battery life is not extremely important. I will have a docking station or external keyboard, but not all the time, so a decent keyboard and track pad is also important. There is a sale in the Netherlands right now I would like to partake in: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/asus-zenbook-ux533fn-a8025t-laptop-15-6-inch/9200000102516294/?suggestionType=browse&bltgh=uEEOaNqDY763Zjm5MBpHSw.o1P4u72oVid2ExNAG59Lng_0.5.ProductPageUrl I am not sure about the glossy screen though.... Any insights or reasons not to buy this? Thnx Total budget and country of purchase: 900 euro, Netherlands 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 is cool but shouldn't come at the cost of anything else. Best specifications is the most important thing in this list. How important is weight and thinness to you? Important. Need to carry it in my backpack every day, but do need a 15 inch. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 inch Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run no fancy programs. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I will use an external keyboard some days but other days I will work without one so keyboard and track pad are important. Build quality is semi important, it is for office work and I am very careful with my electronic devices. I have a sturdy backpack. Would be a nice bonus if it can sent 4k to my TV since I have no computer that can do that ATM but that is more of a bonus.

| Work in TV and need a new Laptop Posted: 28 May 2019 08:46 PM PDT I think it's finally time for a new laptop. I currently have a 2009 Macbook Pro and can't upgrade it anymore. I work in Post Production on TV shows. My job mostly consists of reviewing video and flagging anything that needs to be sent to VFX. Almost everyone in the industry uses MAC but I wanted to see if it's possible to make a change. The most important thing is that I'm able to read MAC formatted drives. MacDrive was recommended but I'm not sure how reliable it is. LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE Total budget and country of purchase: $1,000 - $2,000, United States Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money?

Light to moderate gaming. 60 FPS is ideal 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 touchpad is a must. Ports are somewhat important but understand if I have to buy an adapter. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm planning on buying the laptop by August of this year.

| Please help me decide between these 3 gaming laptops. Price range ~$1,400. Posted: 28 May 2019 08:12 AM PDT Hello, I am currently in the market for a gaming laptop and am seriously considering these 3 laptops. The PowerSpec one is intriguing since it has a 2070 at a good price range, but I have not found a ton of reviews for it, so seems a bit risky. Not sure how big of a jump in performance the 2070 is compared to a 1660 Ti. Also, the HP and Acer have the newer 9th gen Intel CPU, while the PowerSpec has the 8th gen. Again, not sure how big of a difference that is. Thanks! PowerSpec 15 - $1,400 HP Omen 15 - $1,000 Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 - $1,200 Edit - Are there any other gaming laptops I should consider as well? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 28 May 2019 10:16 PM PDT Hi! It's my last year of highschool, and I will be moving away for university, and don't want to carry my big-ass pc constantly when I travel. I already asked this question in r/pcmasterrace, and had a healthy discussion, and right now I'm pretty set on Asus' Rog GL503GE. But, I'm here to hear your opinions. My preferences are: •Be comfortable for long periods of time, as I intend to write code on it. •Be able to run stuff like League of Legends, and GTA 5 with 60 fps on at least medium. •I'm a dumbass sometimes so if it's durable ot would be great. My budget is around 800$, but can excceed it a bit. Pretty curious how you guys see it, compared to the PC brigade. [link] [comments]  |
