I made one off the top of my head last night that was not great and this is more accurate. I have picked two potential options so far, to give context on what I want. Asus Zenbook 13 and Acer Swift 3. If those are great I would love to know, if there is better ones in that range, please let me know. Oh, and this will be for college. Thanks for reading.

| High end Laptop for Coding and Music Production (>€2000) Posted: 03 Jul 2019 10:58 PM PDT Actually I have a desktop computer at home with two gorgeous 4K Dell monitors. That computer is getting older and buying new specs is getting always more expensive. So I decided to save off a decent amount of money for buying a good laptop and then selling my actual desktop. Thank you so much!

| Laptops for startup employees with v. Limited budget Posted: 04 Jul 2019 04:19 AM PDT Hello everyone, I'm looking to buy Windows 10 laptops for startup employees with limited budget. Primary use will be Microsoft office apps, and access to erp/accounting apps. I'm considering a 250 USD budget (buying straight from wholesalers) and options are HP 255 G6 or HP 245 G5, or Lenovo IdeaPad 130. I'll probably pay to upgrade ram to 8GB on whichever model we obtain. Which of the 3 do you suggest? And am I shooting my self in the foot by in getting these models instead of increasing the budget to 525 and getting a Lenovo E570 (or E470) instead? Thanks.

| RTX 2060 for 1440p external monitor gaming? Posted: 03 Jul 2019 11:18 PM PDT Hey guys, I upgrading my setup and was wondering if anyone has/knows about how a mobile rtx 2060 would run plugged into a 1440p monitor to play games. Im aware that performance is 30 percent lower than the desktop but looking at stats its close to the mobile gtx 1070. I can only get a laptop because i have little to no wifi at home and i absolutley need portability. I play singleplayer games a lot so when I'm at home I'd want to plug my laptop to a larger monitor. As the performance is close to that of a gtx 1070 mobile, im not sure if its practical to get good performance at 1440p with the mobile rtx 2060, NON max q version.

| Replacement for old laptop. 15"+, Aus, cheap (under 750) Posted: 04 Jul 2019 02:23 AM PDT
It is mostly intended for typing and referencing documents/websites/playing music between charge, but with added versatility to play some games while travelling on flights or similar. I additionally note that the information on the 'logical increments' list is currently 9 months old, and question how reflective it is of current standards.

Majoring in Computer Science, and I wanted a laptop that I could study on and game on occasionally. Something that is not too loud and that I could take to class and use as an everyday laptop. * **Total budget and country of purchase:** USA, Hopefully around $850 * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money?

| My external graphic doesn't work. Posted: 04 Jul 2019 12:20 AM PDT I have an HP laptop, model number 15ay-105ne. It has 12 gb ram and 2 gb dedicated AMD graphics(R4 M440), processor 7200U, intel i7 7th gen. I added an ssd to my system and it is working fine. I also brought an asus Cerberus 1050ti oc edition, a 440w power supply(corsair), the gdc beast dock for the graphic card with mini pci-e adapter. NOW HERES THE PROBLEM!! I made all the connections from the smps to the dock, dock to pc pc to dock. All the connections were fine but I don't know how to change integrated graphics settings. Also when I turn the system on my monitor turns on but remains black and doesn't show anything on the display. But if i'm to switch switch off the grapgic card and then turn on the system it works perfectly well and doesn't have any issues. If I go into the settings and search for hardware changes no external graphic card is detected. I tried to install the nvidia driver software both automatically and manually but it won't complete without detecting the graphic card. And yes I also plugged the pc into an external monitor. Although i'm nit sure if the hdmi cable was faulty or if the setup still doesn't work. Someone help me here. In a moment of enthusiasm I went on and brought all this stuff and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the setup to work. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2019 Predator Helios 300 vs MSI GP75? Posted: 03 Jul 2019 11:47 PM PDT Hello! I'm from the Philippines so my options for laptops here are quite limited since I don't want to hassle myself with shipping. My budget is $1950 or 100,000 php. The laptop will only be used at home for gaming and school purposes. After narrowing down my search, I've found 2 identical laptops with a $200 price difference.

| Please help me find a 2-in-1 for my kids' schooling Posted: 03 Jul 2019 06:33 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: $400, 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. It must be a 2-in-1, with stylus capability (okay if I have to buy stylus separate from the $400 budget) How important is weight and thinness to you? N/A Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows 10 Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14" or larger Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. This is for my kids to use for school, play some old games (Portal 1 & 2, NES emulator, etc.), and do simple 2D art. My understanding is a UHD 620 will be enough, but a Vega 8 would be better? If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No hardcore gaming. Some old stuff like Portal 1 & 2, classic console emulators, etc. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I'm told the touchscreen must be at least an IPS screen with at least Full HD resolution for their art programs. Also, it needs at least 128 GB SSD, and at least 4 GB RAM (if it's upgrade, otherwise at least 8 GB of it's all soldered) Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. A family member gifted us money to buy two laptops, one for each child. They've been suffering at school without these. They agreed to pay up to $400, which is a miracle. To be blunt, we are freaking poor. I've seen units with these specs and better at Microcenter recently, but the closest one is over 4 hours away. Any help will be much appreciated.

| Notebook for coding/taking notes and light gaming Posted: 03 Jul 2019 10:15 PM PDT
Around $350 (can go a bit higher if i find a good deal) - Brazil.
Best specifications, but decent battery life is important too.
Not much.
Windows 10, but i have a license at home so there is no need for a OS out of the box.
I dont know about screen size, but for resolution im looking for 1080p @ 60Hz (i accept 120Hz too but i dont think thats reasonable for $350 lol).
Mostly light games like CSGO, Dota 2, Minecraft, Terraria, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2 and old console emulators (snes, n64 etc).
Games are listed above. Most of them i wish to run at 1080p 60+ fps, except for CSGO which i play at 1024x768.
Good keyboard, touchpad, reliable build quality and a SSD (or at least the ability to install one). I dont care about touchscreen, finger-print reader etc.
Most of the time ill be either running light games, using libre office, browsing with firefox or editing code (just editing, ill not be compiling anything on this laptop, so no need to worry about compiling speed/battery dying). Thanks!!! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2019 10:14 PM PDT So I made an initial post here yesterday asking for sort of a place to start, and I have spent some time doing research tonight and wanted to hear from people who know better than I do. I am just going to be a college student who wants something that can what I need done and a bit of light gaming on top. So I came down to options (so far): The Acer Swift 3 or the ASUS Zenbook 13. Any help deciding or other options would be great, thanks for the help. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can HP Envy x360 (15.6" Ryzen 5 3500U or Ryzen 7 3700U) take 32GB (2x16GB) RAM? Posted: 03 Jul 2019 09:59 PM PDT This HP forum answer in response to a question regarding 2500U guesses that it could on the basis that most recent HP laptops can take a notch over spec. But the 3500U and 3700U are a generation newer, yet whose service manual only lists up to 2x8GB for replacement parts. Did HP set a hard cap for the 2019 Envy Ryzen to push more expensive laptops? This shows the 2017 Spectre Intel can do 2x16GB. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2019 06:10 PM PDT Hi all, I am trying to decide between these two laptops.
The Thinkpad has a lot more accessible and convenient ports, whereas the HP Envy does not. The HP Envy has a slightly better form factor as the trade-off. I looked at reviews for thermal concerns on the HP Envy 13t but most reviews claimed it didn't have a thermal problem. Anyone have experience with the HP Envy 13t? At work I have a T480s which I generally find to be extremely well built and good performance. I've never owned an HP laptop. ------
