    Cheap college laptop for in-class java, mysql, web programming

    Cheap college laptop for in-class java, mysql, web programming


    Cheap college laptop for in-class java, mysql, web programming

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 07:36 PM PDT

    I already have a beefy windows desktop, but I just found out I need a laptop to use in the classroom for my java and database courses. We will use it do examples and lab assignments. In addition i will take a web programming course next year which i assume will also require one.

    Can someone please give me advice on the minimum specs on a new laptop that will fulfill my needs? I will only be using this inside the classroom for about 3 hours a week total. For everything else I will use my desktop. I guess I might use it to read pdfs/ebooks in between classes also, but I won't be doing any other work or gaming on it.

    I found this Samsung Notebook Flash (Intel® Celeron® Processor) for $275. Will it do? How is the price? It is only 4gb ram and I didn't even know they made Celeron anymore. Like I said I really don't want to spend much since I will barely use it, but it should be good enough that I won't face any slowdown.

    Am I correctly helping my girlfriend get a new laptop?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 01:54 PM PDT

    I'm a huge r/buildapc guy. I'm on there like 10 times a day. Laptops are a little out of my expertise, but my girlfriend tasked me with helping her find a new pc. She currently has an HP Stream laptop with 4gb of ram and a shitty pentium or celeron Nxxxx. I wanted to upgrade the 32gb of storage with a 120gb ssd to help her hold out until she gets a new one, but it turns out it was a soldered 32gb eMMC SSD and not a sata one. In the meantime, her budget is like 150 bucks, but it's closer to 130. She isn't really all that comfortable staying from windows, so my chromebook idea got shot down pretty fast. She also needs to be able to use photoshop, so that also was important in the decision process. Currently, she really likes a refurbished system with an i3-4005u, 8gb of ram, and a 500Gb HDD for 130 bucks. After showing her that one, I found her one for 170, but featuring an i7-3687u, 8gb of ram, and a 256Gb SSD.

    Both are relatively thin laptops, but the second one is technically an ultrabook. The size isn't as important as price or functionality for her, but she doesn't want a brick. Both have windows 10, but the i7 one has Pro.

    Edit* I forgot to mention that in the event that its worth it to take the i7 system, I'm willing to add like 40 bucks to the cause. She cant work on a system like she has.

    Looking for a laptop for college, preferably under $600 but definitely under $800

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 07:09 PM PDT

    All my college courses are either researching, writing, or sharing documents, and my iPad with a keyboard attachment can't keep up anymore. I'm looking for something that'll last my last 2 years in college but can also play lowkey end games like fallout nv so I don't feel like I've wasted my money on a chrome book. Thank you!

    Does anybody still make systems under 15" with gaming graphics?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 03:24 AM PDT

    Hope it's OK not to use the form as I'm not looking for specific recommendations, yet.

    I'm still using an aging (2012) Clevo W230ST, and it's finally starting to struggle to run modern games at full resolution. I really like the relatively tiny form factor (12" screen, just over 4 pounds) but until the last year or so, it could manage a decent framerate on just about anything. The amazing thing that Clevo did with this system was to cram enough thermal management for a 765M -- by all accounts "upper midrange" at the time -- into such a tiny chassis without making it weigh as much as a 15" system.

    I'm aware that systems have gotten thinner and lighter on the whole, with smaller bezels, so there are some 15" gaming systems that are only an inch wider or only a pound heavier. I'd still like to see how small and portable I can go, though -- what I really want is basically a Nintendo Switch that can play No Man's Sky at 1080p60 or better, on a plane.

    Is anybody still active in this market segment? I've looked at a few search engines and it seems like as soon as you select 1660 Ti or better, all the screen-size options under 15" disappear. Best I've been able to find is 15" and right around 2kg. Am I missing anything?

    Looking for a new foldable companion.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 03:22 AM PDT

    Hello everyone :)

    I need your help picking a Thinkpad. I am going to start my Masters this fall, and I need a new portable companion to help me through the day and the next 2-3 years. As writing a lot of papers is a regular occurrence, I am looking for an excellent keyboard, so naturally, Thinkpads came to mind. I also want and will also have to start to get into programming with my Masters. I also enjoy the connectivity of Thinkpads which do not doom me to live the dongle life (dongles I would lose, I am certain).

    I have looked at several student deals that are available to me here in Germany, two of which have caught my eye. They, however, appear to be special student models - I don't know if these come with any significant drawbacks that I might be unaware of. The models are as follows:

    1. Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2019 (Price: 1499 Euros)
      Full-HD IPS panel (going up to 400 nits)
      Intel Core i7-8565U
      512GB NVMe-SSD
      16GB RAM,
      UHD 620
      IR-Webcam
      NFC
      No OS installed
    2. Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2018 (Price: 1399 Euros)
      Full-HD IPS panel (going up to 300 nits)
      Intel Core i7-8550U QuadCore
      512GB NVMe-SSD
      16GB RAM
      UHD 620
      NFC
      No OS installed

    Could one consider these 'good deals' or should I rather look at different Thinkpads / (regular) models / other (Lenovo) devices as a whole (I was also recommended the Lenovo T480/490)?

    I am open to all advice and every recommendation I can get! I am happy to invest money into something worthwhile, just want to feel like I am getting a good device for the money :)

    MSI GF75 - 60hz or 120hz display for movies? (non-gamer)

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:28 AM PDT

    I have decided on the laptop I want to buy, the MSI GF75. My only issue before purchase now is that I see that there are two different versions: one has a 60hz display and the other has 120hz display (they are both available at the same price). I am not a gamer. I will be using the laptop to produce music and video (that's why I need something with great specs). I WILL be watching FILMS on this laptop though.

    Will the 120hz look "weird" for movies? I've been looking at movies on 144hz laptops at Best Buy and I do not like the way they look (fake looking "soap opera effect" kind of look). The 60hz laptops look better for movies to me, they don't seem to have this issue. So, what about 120hz? Supposedly it is better at matching up with the different frame rates than 144hz, because it is an even multiple of 24, 30, and 60. By this logic it would also be better than 60hz in respect to 24fps. But I don't know, I can't really know personally unless I could look at the two versions side by side. If the 120hz has the same issue as 144hz I will get the 60hz. However, if it does not have that issue, and has some improvement over the 60hz, then I will get the 120hz.

    Sorry for the long-winded question. Hopefully someone here has some experience with these technologies and can offer some advice.

    Thanks!

    -Jon

    Are 15" laptops good for movie watching?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:11 AM PDT

    Hello there,

    I am not comfortable seeing 17" laptops getting in very niche hardcore gaming department. I am using 17" multimedia laptop and watching movies is amazing on it. Sadly it's really hard to find nice offer for 17" laptop for watching movies that ain't some extremely expensive gaming machine. I do not game, but 2 extra inches are great for me. I don't like nor use TVs anymore because they are getting humongous and not portable. I always watch movies and even TV on laptop. I lay down in bed and put it on my pelvis area. It's perfect experience. So even though 15" laptops are most popular and you can nail best deal with such, from your experience is it good for watching movies and being your only "TV/screen" you use. If mantra for TVs: "Bigger is better" is now all too common, does it also apply to laptop for this specific usage scenario?

    Is this laptop worth it?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:44 AM PDT

    Hello everybody! My gf is searching for a new laptop and she came across this 2 in 1 Asus laptop. Specs:

    2 in 1 ASUS VivoBook Flip TP412UA-EC056T, 14" Full HD Touch, Intel® Core™ i3-7020U processor 2.3GHz, 4GB, SSD 256GB, Intel HD Graphics 620, Windows 10 Home

    She wants a laptop for some web surfing, watching movies and YouTube videos and maybe some Word, Excel etc. This laptop is around 500 euros, is it worth it at this price, is there anything better? The maximum she would pay is 500 euros.

    Thank you!

    Looking for a laptop for college

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:40 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

      $1000 - $1400, 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.

      2 in 1 form factor would be nice but good battery life and best specifications for the money are priority.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Preferably a lighter and thin laptop as I will be carrying it around in my bag a lot throughout the day

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

    Windows

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

    I would prefer a larger screen size such as 14" or 15" maybe, however 13" would be fine

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

    Light gaming: minecraft maybe, but not too many heavy games Programs: Microsoft office, Acrobat Reader, photoshop and most of the adobe software, Matlab

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Mainly just minecraft, no preference for settings or FPS just as long as it can run smoothly without lag or overheating. So not too much gaming, mainly just for work

    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 very important, good build quality, touch screen and finger-print reader would be nice but not super important, no optical drive needed. Preferably 16 gb RAM but 8 would also be fine, and I would want an i7 processor

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

    So right now based on my research of laptops I am leaning towards either the Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen or the Dell XPS 15. However, I would like to know if there are similar or better options

    Looking for a 2-in-1 laptop for video editing and drawing (considering dell latitude because of big discount)

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:23 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time!

    I'm looking for a 2-in-1 laptop for video editing (simple youtube videos) in wondershare filmora9 and drawing (I use Krita). It doesn't really need to run games since I have a PC and a ps4, would be sweet if it could run minecraft though :).

    I'm currently looking at Dell Latitude laptops since I can get a big discount through work (50-60%!)

    I've been looking at these 3 options:

    Latitude 7390 2-in-1 series

    And

    Latitude 5300 2-in-1 series:

    I don't really understand the big differences in price to be honest :). Also I'm open to other laptop suggestions, I was just looking at these because of the big discount and the pen that comes with it for drawing looks pretty cool :D.

    Total budget and country of purchase

    • Max 2000 € , Belgium

    Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money?

    • 2-in-1 for drawing and video editing

    Laptop for 3d Animation but not for Rendering

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:20 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    1600 USD. Can be a little higher.

    • 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?

    No more than 1 inch thick.

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

    Windows

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

    At least 15'6

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

    Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, Zbrush, Blender. No games.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    Good screen.

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

    At minimum, the laptop needs to last 3.5 - 4 hours if I'm working in Adobe software and 3d software. I'm not going to be rendering 3d work on the laptop. I'm going to leave that to my desktop.

    Also, would I need a really good GPU if I'm just working in the viewport of 3d programs? Would a MX250 2gb GPU be decent enough to deal with shading in the viewport? I figured that I could just hide some stuff on the viewport if I have a really complex 3d scene.

    Most laptops that are recommended for 3d animation are gaming laptops that have horrible battery life. It seems like most gaming laptops last around 2 or 2.5 hours when gaming. Would the battery on those gaming laptops last 3.5 - 4 hours if I'm not rendering? I assume that the Adobe software and the 3d software I'm using aren't as power intensive as gaming is. Also, thermals seem to be a problem on some gaming laptops. I guess that won't really affect me if I'm not gaming or rendering.

    Acer Swift 3 vs Matebook 13

    Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:11 AM PDT

    I am located in Singapore and the price difference between the two is like USD 237. Swift has a slightly larger screen. I know they are not in a similar price range, but wanted to know what people would recommend.

    Acer - i5 MX250 Matebook - i5 MX 150

    Most of the time the laptop will be used for web browsing, school work, and watching Netflix. Don't think I am going to be doing much gaming.

    Looking for a gaming/video editing laptop

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:17 AM PDT

    Hi! I currently have a razer blade 14 inch 2017. I quite like it, but I just found out that I can't really upgrade much in it, which cuts it's long term lifetime by a lot. Previously I had a MacBook pro from 2011 that I kept alive and strong for 7 years by replacing parts over time. When it finally died I switched back to Windows cause MacBooks are so incredibly expensive for good hardware, and I wanted to be able to upgrade. I stupidly assumed I would be able to do this with razer since it's Windows. Lesson learned.

    Anyways I quite like the razer, it's fast, looks and feels good, the keyboard is cool, really no complaints other than the non-upgradeable parts. My model is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 and 16gb of RAM. This works for me at the moment, though I've hit some limits in video editing which prompted all this. I'm considering selling the razer now while it still has some value and using the money to help fund a longer term laptop.

    So details about what I'm looking for in a potential replacement:

    Budget isn't too much of a concern. I'd like to spend in the range of $2500CAD with some wiggle room. $3000 max. Buying in Canada.

    I want to be able to upgrade my parts so I can keep this one alive for another 7 years. I hesitate on laptops like acer or hp, as these sort of generic brands in my experience fail after a year or two. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Build quality and thinness/lightness are important to me as I live a nomadic life. 15 inch is my ideal screen size.

    I quite enjoy being able to game, and I edit a lot of video so a good graphics card and minimum 16gb RAM are important.

    I don't need a 4k screen, but a quality 1080p one would be nice. 4k screen is a bonus.

    Not much into gimmicks like touch screens, touch bars, fingerprint readers, etc. I just need solid internals and solid build quality. Maybe a trackpad that doesn't suck.

    I'd be looking to buy around October this year. Open to building one myself too if that makes more sense, but I'm not sure what kind of limitations there are on build quality doing it myself. One thing I'll give the razer is the actual frame/size of the laptop is quite nice.

    I appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance!

    Edit: seeing lots of reviews mentioning bloatware on many laptops, would definitely like to avoid that if at all possible

    Thinness isn't really important. Not too heavy though, I will be carrying it around everyday.

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

    Linux, preferably, but more than willing to do the installation myself

    No smaller than 13"

    * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.**

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** $1,500 // 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.** Best specs for the money and good battery life

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Not that important as long it's not extremely heavy or thick

    * **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 display

    * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Video editing, photo editing, gaming, recording gameplay

    * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** Minecraft, Hearts of Iron 4, possibly some new and popular games // med to high settings and a playable FPS with no or minimal lag while recording

    * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** at least 16 GB Memory, good to great graphics card and CPU, reliable build quality, good display, good mic if possible

    * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** Although I wish to build a PC and can, my parents won't allow it for now, so I must settle on a laptop, but I hope to build I PC in the near future. Going into high school, I need my laptop to not be too heavy or thick, but powerful at the same time. I'm also trying to become a more succesful YouTuber, which my current laptop prevents as it is too weak (shown by the lag in my videos). I have looked at many laptops, but have lost myself looking at the many choices. I would have bought a new Razer Blade, but that laptop is too expensive for my budget. If any can help me find a laptop for the specs I listed, that would be appreciated.

    Best gaming laptop for 750$ or under?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 05:54 PM PDT

    I want this laptop to be able to handle modern titles and new releases, but I'll also be using it for coding, and computer school work, what's a good laptop that can handle everything while also being able to play any game? I've been looking at the acer nitro 5 with the GTX 1050 I live in the us

    I don't care much about battery life,

    I want good overall performance but being able to play AAA games.

    2 in 1 doesn't matter to me

    School laptop for around 600, looking for a used business laptop or a new one

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 02:00 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    ~600, united states

    • 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 specifications, portability also. A nice screen would be nice but not ideal, i will probably watch shows and movies on it.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    -it is going to be used for school, so lighter and thinner would be ideal but it doesn't need to be ultra thin or light

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

    -windows

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

    -14 or 15.6

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

    -honestly its mostly for schoolwork that involves excel and other light programs, possibly photo editing but also would like to be able to watch netflix, the laptop I have now cant run netflix smoothly. Doesn't need to be a powerhouse, I use my desktop for any gaming

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    -touch screen doesn't matter to me, but I'm not anti touchscreen - if I need that for a good quality screen I'd take it. I would prefer it to have a decent keyboard, some laptop keyboards seem impossible to type accurately on. I have an x220 right now and I'm used to that.

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

    -I'm not against buying some business laptop used on ebay, but I would also buy a new laptop if its worth it with similar specs. ones that im considering are

    • ASUS Q406DA - 14", AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM, 256gb ssd

    • Acer Swift 3 - 14"

    • used t470s - 14"

    • used dell precision 5510 - 15.6"

    Deciding on a laptop for a CS Student/Mild Gamer

    Posted: 29 Aug 2019 03:28 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Like 700 as a soft max. And I'm in the 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. At first I wanted the 2 in 1, but I realized I can get better specs for similar prices. * How important is weight and thinness to you? Relatively unimportant. * Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows 10 * 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. Visual Studio for coding, maybe the occasional editing program for various groups I'm in. * If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Main thing is Destiny 2 at a good FPS, I know it isn't too demanding but I wanna not have to worry. * Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Finger-Print would be cool, and I don't want the keyboard to suck. * Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've got https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-nitro-5-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-256gb-solid-state-drive-black/6212602.p?skuId=6212602 sitting in my cart on BestBuy.com, and it looks rather appealing, I just don't know which version to get, and whether or not the updated versions are worth the hefty price increases.
