| College student looking for a basic, reliable laptop Posted: 30 Jul 2019 08:14 PM PDT Total Budget and Country of Purchase: United States, i'd like to spend less than $750 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 does not really interest me much, I'd really prefer a strong battery life. I'm in college and a commuter student, I have long days where my battery needs to last How important is weight and thinness to you? I would love it to be light, sometimes I'll be carrying this in my bag for eight hours a day, but a bigger computer is not necessarily a deal breaker Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows. And not a Windows S version where you can only download microsoft stuff. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Just not super small Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I'd like to be able to use photoshop, but it's not super important 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/touch pad)? N/A Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion: I'm really just looking for something that will last me a good amount of time. I need strong battery life because some of my classes are 3 whole hours long. I'm an edu major so I don't need to do any heavy tech stuff, I just want reliability, kind of light weight, and strong battery life. When i started school two years ago i bought a $300 dell laptop and its been such a disappointment, weak battery life, and has had problems running throughout, so I really don't want to get burned again [link] [comments]  |
| New College Student looking for a laptop to last atleast the next 4 years Posted: 30 Jul 2019 03:42 PM PDT So you guys know, I am lucky enough to have a Microcenter near me if that helps. * **Total budget and country of purchase:** I would like to stay between $800-$1200 ( USA). But I was also looking at the MSI G65 and Acer predator triton 500 for $1500, I would be willing to go up that high if you guys think these laptops are worth the price. * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.** Don't want a 2 in 1, prefer a decent battery, at least 5 hours if possible. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Would like to stay around 5lbs or less. So as thin as possible without compromising performance/ thermals too much * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 13 inches - 15.6 inches, But, probably at 15.6 inches with 144hz, 1080p * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I enjoy playing video games, my college degree will be in IT * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** csgo, fortnite, overwatch, other competitive games. Also to be able to run some AAA games, but I usually don't buy games very often. I usually play at lower settings unless it offers gameplay advantages like viewing distance in fornite. I want to able to play smoothly with a 144hz screen **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 important as I want this laptop to be able to last 4+ years as I use this to play games at home and take this with me to use at school during classes. Good Keyboard+ Trackpad, would prefer SSD or SSD + HD combo. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** - Laptop to play games and portable for school. Important specs for me include - Intel I7, 16 GB ram, GTX 1060 - RTX 2060 (GTX 1660ti seems to be the sweet spot) Laptops I am looking at right now - Should I be worried about buying from companies like Acer and MSI? - Acer Predator Triton 500 - This is my top choice other than the price, RTX 2060, would be able to buy this off Acer's website with student discount for about $1.530 - little lighter and thinner with better battery and 512 gb SSD - $1,500 is a little much for me, do you guys think it would be worth it over the Helios 300? Though I can't get that price on Amazon. should I have any worries about buying the laptop directly from Acer instead of Amazon? - Acer Predator Helios 300 (2019) - All specs I need/ want for $1,200 - just wish it was a little thinner with a bigger battery, but when do guys think of the durability for this laptop. - MSI GS65 - On sale at Best Buy for $1,500 with RTX 2060 16GB ram. 512SSD, Though it seems the the 16GB ram is single channel. Is it worth it over the Triton 500? -Razer Blade 15 (2018) - $1400 from Razer with GTX 1060 with 1tb HD with 128 GB SSD, 16GB ram, seems overpriced. Other laptop suggestions are welcome, right now the Helios 300 is my top choice, do you guys think it will be durable enough for at least the next 4 years? I take care of things pretty well. And what are you guys' opinions on buying Acer laptops/ buying from Acer? [link] [comments]  |

I am confused, for the tasks I mentioned above, if I need i7-8750H or an i5-8300H is enough? Do I need 16 gb ram? Will the on-board intel graphics card be enough to play 4k videos with no issues? Thank you for reading and helping me! [link] [comments]  |

Ideally looking to spend £1K * **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 first decent battery life second * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Not at all, I'm a strong bloke!

| Laptop for school and light gaming Posted: 30 Jul 2019 10:59 PM PDT * **Total budget and country of purchase:** 900$ but I can stretch it a couple of hundered if neccesary. I live in Denmark. * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money?

Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows is preffered * **Do you have a preferred screen size?

List which programs/games you desire to run.** Games are listed below * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play?

Back-lit keyboard is a plus, but not required. A good keyboard is quite important. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I've considered buying a desktop for playing the games and then a cheaper laptop for school, but it seems overkill to buy a desktop to play the games I do, idk what your thoughts are on that?Thank you very much for your suggestions.

| Looking for a new laptop to replace my sad dying 2014 15" macbook pro Posted: 30 Jul 2019 09:44 AM PDT * **Total budget and country of purchase:** (although I'm traveling to Taiwan later this year, idk if it'd be cheaper to buy there?) * **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 good specs are nice, don't care about 2 in 1 form factor. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I love the form factor of the MBPs, but some quick research shows that PCs make similar looking computers nowadays! * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** I love Mac's OS but I will learn a different OS if I have to. * **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.** I'm a watercolor & digital artist, so I use a lot of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I also make videos, so I use Adobe Premiere (although I've considered purchasing Final Cut Pro). I have the Mac version of Rhino3d (my beloved CAD software that I do still occasionally use, although not for anything super heavy). * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** I'm not picky about this because this isn't what my computer is really for. * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** A good screen - I need to be able to color correct my paintings easily. Also, I'd like for it to last a long time because I do not like repurchasing expensive electronics. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I am pretty spoiled with my MBP even though it's pretty old now, and it's struggling a lot when it comes to opening larger Photoshop files or exporting even just a ~10 minute video from Premiere (I'm not using 4k footage, just footage from a digital point and shoot camera and my phone). I have an iPad Pro that I use for drawing, so I don't need the computer to be able to handle a lot of drawing (thus, touch screen is not necessary), and it doesn't need to be too too portable because I just bring my iPad to different places nowadays. The big thing for getting a new laptop is that I have a lot of software that is only Mac-compatible, and I'd have to rebuy it for a Windows computer (although if I were saving a bunch of cash on the Windows computer, it'd probably be worth it?) Thanks in advance for your help!! [link] [comments]  |

US, preferred price is from 600-800
Don't need a 2 in 1, battery life and specs are both important, preferably at least 6 hours or so but the more the better
Will be carrying it a lot so decently light and not too thick, I don't want to carry around what looks like a brick lol
Don't believe I will
N/A
Good keyboard and reliable quality
Preferably would like it look clean and not like a monster but if the look isn't too good but is a very good deal I will be fine [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a decent priced 2 in 1 with good display. Posted: 30 Jul 2019 08:11 PM PDT * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Under $500, 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.** Prefer 2 in 1, willing to budge Vivid colors is important. I returned a Lenovo flex 4 because the colors just felt too dull Battery not that important * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Not that important * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Doesnt matter * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 11-13 * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Nope * **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)?** Must- touchscreen, hdmi Preferred but can do without- backlit keyboard, convertible * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** This will be replacing an HP 360 x pavillion that I had for about a year. I honestly didnt use it that much and the screen popped out which caused the chassis to break and it's now unusable. For that reason I do not want another HP. I use my phone for just about everything but there's always those times when you just need a computer. Main purpose will be streaming and light internet browsing. I know I can go cheap for just that but I want something that's going to be on the faster side and have a good display but trying to figure out specs is driving me crazy. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Jul 2019 01:33 AM PDT Hey, So I'm a CS student who's gonna start his 4th year in college. I've been looking into getting a Mac and have been torn between the Macbook Air 13 inch,256 gb,8gb RAM,1.6 Ghz dual core and the Macbook Pro 13inch,256 gb, 8gb RAM,1.4 Ghz quad core. I intend to use this laptop for the next 4 to 5 years atleast during which I will probably be working. Since I will be buying it in India, the difference between the two models is about 200 dollars. I was wondering if it's worth spending that extra money for better performance given that I'll be doing a fair amount of coding over the coming year. I want to buy a a Mac specifically and will welcome suggestions on whether I should go for older Mac models too with the condition that the budget is around 1400$ taking into account durability. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Any Law School laptop recommendations? Posted: 31 Jul 2019 01:33 AM PDT Filling out the form first - I'll add more detail at the end of the post! \ **Total budget and country of purchase:*** 400/500$, US \ **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.*** good battery life \ **How important is weight and thinness to you?*** Very; I'd like a lightweight, small laptop that would possibly not be too delicate \ **Which OS do you require? *** Windows \ **Do you have a preferred screen size?*** Small, maybe 13/14"? \ **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.*** No. I only use the Office suite, Adobe Reader and do light browsing/streaming on netflix. No gaming. \ **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?*** I'd prefer a traditional laptop, not really into the 2-in-1 models or anything touchscreen. A good keyboard is a plus and I'd really appreciate a screen that doesn't tire the eyes too much: I definitely prefer an anti-glare screen as opposed to a "glossy" screen. \ **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.*** After this term in a US law school, I'm moving back home to Italy, so I'd like for my laptop to work there too! More into detail: I'm in law school and want to replace my (5-year-old!) hp laptop with something new. I only really use Microsoft Word, the acrobat pdf reader, and do some browsing to look for case law and papers online. My ideal laptop is small, reasonably priced (around 400/500$), as lightweight as possible (but not too delicate) and has a long battery life so that I can bring it with me to lectures without having to worry about running out of battery while I'm taking notes. I find Apple laptops very aesthetically pleasing and I also like their size, but they would be a total waste of money on me since I basically only write and read files. I like the idea of a Lenovo IdeaPad but I've found so many different models and can't tell them apart! Thank you all! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2019 12:45 AM PDT About me: I'm an architecture undergraduate and I use Zbrush/maya/3ds max/Cinema 4d (So let's call it 3d animation) on my spare time as well as playing video games. I thought of going for ROG G703 but I think that's too expensive for my budget ( I can go until a thousand dollars and perhaps a hundred more or two) , especially that I'm a student. Any suggestions? Is it worth it? Isn't it too much for me? [link] [comments]  |
