At this point I'm looking mostly between the Lenovo Y540, 545, and 740. I was looking at the Dell G5/G7 originally but heard bad things about its thermal management and bulkiness. The legion looks and feels sleek to me, and seems portable enough. The low 3hour battery is an improvement to my current so it's probably good enough. I liked the 545 at costco for $1100 and it has everything that I want except it only has a 1660Ti and idk if that will be enough. I heard the 540 has better thermals, but the 740 has an aluminum chassis and again better heat management. [link] [comments] |
Need a powerful laptop for civil engineering software Posted: 11 Aug 2019 09:03 PM PDT Hello! My office (Indonesia) currently wants to buy 2 workstation/powerful laptop to do some heavy task for civil engineering, mostly Plaxis3D (finite element software), Plaxis2D, AutoCAD. Thinkpad is the first that comes to my mind for the support, the toughness, and the durability. Mainly will run only Windows 10 since civil engineering software is very windows based. So what would you recommend? Thinkpad or others? Money is not the problem here , we would pay any price. [link] [comments] |

Laptop < 1400€ - Light gaming, some CAD, for college. Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:40 AM PDT Hello everyone, After looking at many advice on the internet and here, I'm making a post since I still can't chose a laptop. --- Total budget and country of purchase: Total budget is 1400€ but I'd prefer something around 1200-1300€. 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'll need a good battery since I'll be carrying my laptop around. Don't care about 2 in 1 form --- How important is weight and thinness to you? Not very important but I'll prefer a lighter laptop that doesn't look like a spaceship ---Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. I'd prefer without OS so that I can setup windows and Linux cheaper but it seems pretty rare. ---Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 inches sounds good. Would not mind a 17 tho ---Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I will probably do some CAD but that will not be the main use. Mainly taking notes, and web browsing. I'd like to be able to run games, basic ones such as Minecraft or terraria but also heavier games like PUBG, civ, without lagging. ---If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I want to be able to hit 60fps ---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 like a good keyboard and great build quality. ---Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Aiming for 16gb of RAM but it can be 8. I was initially looking at the msi prestige ps63 modern with a gtx 1050, 512gb ssd and 16gb of ram for 1300€, but I'm not sure If it's the right laptop and I have difficulty justifying buying such an expensive product, it needs to be among the best I can get for the price. Thanks a lot :) any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:20 AM PDT Hi all, I've got an offer to buy a very well looked after and in full working order Razer Blade 2016, the one with a 6700, 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD. The seller is asking £550 but I think I might be able to talk them down to £450. However before I jump the gun I looked online and found nothing but warning about Razer laptops. Are they completely terrible or just terrible for the full RRP? Many thanks all. [link] [comments] |

Posted: 11 Aug 2019 09:08 AM PDT I have always used an xbox to game with since i never had enough money for a pc, but now that i'm a bit older, i've finally got some money. Sadly because i've never had my own computer, i don't have a lot of knowledge about them, so i am hoping some of you could help me find a good gaming laptop (don't have enough room for a pc, and this way i could take it with me wherever i go). My price range is €0 - €600 (preferably around €400). I'm dutch, so if there are any country specific shops, i'll most likely not be able to go there. Thanks for the help! [link] [comments] |

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 02:55 AM PDT Hello everyone! So I am looking for a 13,3"-14" inch ultrabook that is suitable for graphic design and photo editing (I am mostly talking about PS, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom... maybe some light CAD and videoediting). You will see what my preferences are in the form, but these are my options so far.
Some general concerns about graphic design that I would like you to answer (sorry if this misses the sub, just ignore it): Which is the acceptable color coverage for graphic design laptops (both sRGB and aRGB)? Will it be really hard to work on a 13,3" laptop and should I later on buy a separate screen? Is a 2in1 laptop a huge advantage in designing or not really? All in all, what would be your go to laptop (feel free to pick one that is not on my list)? Total budget and country of purchase: cca. 1000 USD, Croatia/Hungary 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 would like to have a decent battery life, but it is not my highest priority. How important is weight and thinness to you? I really want in to be portable, so a thin and lightweight laptop would be ideal for me. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Mac or Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13,3"-14" Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Already listed above, but I would like to do photo editing, graphic designing a bit of CAD (Adobe programs) 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)? It would be nice to have a card reader (not microSD but SD), a reliable build would be nice but I dont have really high expectations from an ultrabook in this price range. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I listed everything above. Thank you for helping me. [link] [comments] |
Laptop for Adobe Photoshop, Salesforce, QA-related programs, and proprietary software. Posted: 11 Aug 2019 11:08 PM PDT Hello! I'm posting for a friend who needs help on getting a new laptop for her new job! :) We're looking for a laptop that can do Adobe Photoshop, Salesforce, software dev programs, and proprietary software. The work will require these programs to run simultaneously at some point (if not always). She's set to get the Macbook Pro 13" 2018 but I convinced her that although it is not a bad choice, it is not the best value-prop. Budget: $1,000.00-$1,200.00 (but doesn't mind to add a bit more for a better choice) What she has so far:
Non-negotiable:
Nice to have:
We're really looking forward to your suggestions and hopefully get a reasonable model by the end of August 2019. Thanks in advance! :) [link] [comments] |

Laptop For College 500$ to 600$ Posted: 11 Aug 2019 10:11 PM PDT As the title says, I am looking for a laptop for college. My main 2 things I want are solid build quality (metal chassis preferred) and great battery life (>10 hours). Performance is nice but not as important as those two. I will mostly be using it for writing papers, doing some web browsing, listening to Spotify. I have a separate laptop already for gaming. Also having a good wi-fi card would be nice. I would like it to be somewhat light, but not too heavy. Also SSD for the OS please. My price point is 500 to 600 dollars, though I can go a bit higher to 650 if needed. **Total budget and country of purchase:** 500 to 600 dollars, 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.** I prefer good battery life and solid build quality. Specifications don't need to be top end. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I would like it to be fairly light and thin, since I will be carrying it around campus a lot. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows 10, no Chromebooks please. Can't stand Chromebooks. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** A 1920x1080p screen that can get fairly bright would be nice. 15.6 inch or smaller please. * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Maybe some light photo editing, but nothing basic hardware can't handle. Not doing any gaming on this laptop. * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** No gaming on this laptop, I have a separate one for that purpose. * **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 keyboard would be nice, as I will by typing on it a lot. Reliable and sturdy build quality is a MUST please. Metal chassis heavily preferred. No need for a touch screen. Finger print reader is nice, but not required. Would like the OS on an SSD. I do not want an optical drive. Having a decent touchpad would be nice. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I am willing to push my budget up to 650 if the need presents itself.

Choosing between X1 Carbon/Razer Blade 15/ MBP 15 for programming? Posted: 12 Aug 2019 01:31 AM PDT Hi guys! I am Apple user for a long time and now I need to get a new machine for work. I am full-stack JS developer, so I have CPU/RAM intense workflow. VMs, dockers, browsers, etc. I have been using MacBooks for a while, but it was 2015 year model and they are rock, but it is almost 2020 and buying 2015 model now seems bad decision to me. 2019 model is neat, but lack of 3.0 USB post and all this stuff with screen bleeding is almost deal breaker to me. I really like this low-travel keyboard, trackpad and macOS through. I am looking into Lenovo 4k/i7/16GB/512, Razer i7/16/1060 and MPB 15 i7/16/560. I don't play games, I do want long battery life, robustness and lightness. Which one would you recommend here? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 12 Aug 2019 01:10 AM PDT Im stuck, dont know which to pick. ProBook 440 g6 with i7 8565u and 8gb ram. YOGA 530 with i7 8550u and 16 gb ram. Or acer swift 3 with i5, maybe. Please help me. Laptop will be used for coding (mostly web stuff), heavy browsing, traveling and light Photoshop. [link] [comments] |

Gaming laptop between $500-$800 USD Posted: 11 Aug 2019 12:20 PM PDT I am in the market for a portable gaming solution as I don't want to lug around my desktop to lans and it would be nice to have something to game on while traveling for work. I have a $100 amazon credit so this makes some "higher end" machines right at the top of my budget range. I saw the incredible value of the Helios 300 for $899 with Prime which brings my total with the gift card to $800. (must be logged in w/ prime to see $899 price) I know it's overkill for WoW / Classic WoW but the 144hz display would be nice for Overwatch and Apex Legends. This seems to have the best value per dollar being the only thing thing I could find at this price offering a 144hz display paired with a gtx 1060. Everything sub-$800 seems to be restricted to a 1050ti or 1650. Would it make more sense to grab something around $500-$600 if i'll primarily just be playing WoW when on the go? Will a 1050 or 1050ti be able to hit 60 frames at max settings consistently? Not set on the Helios 300 and am open to other suggestions. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

I've also read the wifi chip sucks and I don't want to have to replace that. Overall just want a laptop for general purpose and college that can last two consecutive three-hour lectures in a day for taking notes and isn't heavy. [link] [comments] |

My current laptop is an old Macbook Pro from roughly 2009. It is fine for general low impact use, but i don't even bother playing most games on it. I'd like to switch to a windows laptop for school.

Looking for a good university Laptop. Vivobook S15 vs Yoga 730? Posted: 11 Aug 2019 09:48 PM PDT
$1100 CAD, Canada
Battery life > form factor > build quality > performance (as long as it is 8th gen i5)
No games, just programming
N/A
N/A
I've heard bad things about ASUS build quality and less bad things about Lenovo. So it's either I pay more for the extra storage, or pay less for the better brand reputation, I guess. Additionally, it seems like the yoga would have better battery battery life, but I don't have any stats to back that up. Anything else to think about? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
