    I need a new laptop - 16GB RAM / i7 proccesor!

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 04:16 AM PDT

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:**

    I don't necessarily want to spend near €1500, but if I must I would consider it (living in the 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.**

    I think a good battery life is important, but if a laptop with better specifications and a slightly worse battery life costs the same as a laptop with slightly worse specifications and a better battery life, I would go for the first.

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?**

    I am going to use this laptop mainly for study, so I think weight and thinness are important, but as I said above specifcations are more decisive.

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

    Windows, since the MacBooks with my 'demands' are too expensive!

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

    14 - 15,6"

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

    No, but I like the specs of these kind of laptops haha.

    * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?**

    -

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

    16GB RAM, i7 processor of the 8th or 9th generation, good keyboard, touch screen not necessary. My knowledge is not big enough to say something about the rest of the sepcifications, so I hope some of you could help me with that.

    I hope I made myself clear. In the meantime I will surf the web to learn more about these remaining specifications. Thanks in advance!

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 03:29 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Less than PhP 70,000.00; Philippines

    • 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. Hoping for an i7 hexa-core laptop

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Important. I always bring my laptop with me so I wanted a thin one.

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14-15"

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Mostly doing CAD, Lumion, Sketchup and V-Ray for rendering + some video and photo editing softwares

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? None

    £550 budget UK college/gaming laptop

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 03:25 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: £550, UK. Would like the best recommendation in this range, anything above (say pushing to £650), is perfectly fine as a supplementary option.

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Would like at least 8gb of RAM, i5/i7 and dedicated GPU if possible

    Storage is not that important if I'm able to easily buy a SSD/HDD after purchase. Good battery life would be nice :)

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not too important but I'd be taking it to university

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

    • 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. Gaming

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I don't think this question is too relevant given I just want the best specs for my money, basically. I can see it being relevant without a clear budget.

    • 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 nothing specific in this regard

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

    Thanks for taking your time to read/reply, much appreciated!

    I need help deciding between two laptops, links inside.

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 11:38 PM PDT

    Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IRH

    OR

    Acer Aspire 7 A715-74G-79KJ

    My goal is to have a well performing, but discreet looking laptop, which I would use to do some gaming, but mostly for productivity. These are two of the best that I've found in this price range. I'm not an expert however, so if anyone could take a closer look at these, I'd appreciate it.

    Gaming laptop between $800-1100?

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 02:48 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $800-1100. Laos but will be purchasing through a Thai site(Advice)

    • 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 bang for buck

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not all that much

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Win 10

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Preferably 15.6" but 17" is fine as well.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Games but possibly video editing down the line.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Mostly want to run Overwatch on low settings consistently at 120 fps. Most demanding game is GTA5 at med settings.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? My biggest demand is a 120hz/144hz and IPS screen. I don't know if these two are possible on a laptop without dropping some serious cash so if I had to choose 1, definitely the 120hz/144hz. Secondly, reliability since I will be taking it on the road every other month so it definitely wouldn't be sitting on a desk indefinitely. Lastly, a mechanical keyboard, or something close to it. Definitely isn't a must-have but very much prefer to have one.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'd rather just have a single SSD than a SSD + HD.

    Do I need a laptop? Looking for advice

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:47 PM PDT

    This is my situation:

    • I now have an old mac laptop from 2010. It has been repaired some times and it still works, but it is definitely not powerful enough for what I want to do. It would need some repair, but it does have a 1TB SSD that maybe can be reused.

    • I would like to buy a new computer, that can handle both games and large databases. Below my ideas in the form required.

    • I am not convinced that a desktop computer would be the best option. On one side, I'd like the mobility of a laptop. On the other, there's budget constraints and less performance for laptops. Plus, I read that laptops are harder to repair in case they break.

    • I can buy a laptop in the US at the end of this month, but I am only there for a short time.

    The options I am looking at are:

    1. Buying a gaming laptop within my budget (1200 EUR) and get done with it. In this case, could I ask to reuse and mount my current SSD? Also, would you recommend a product warranty in case it needs repair?
    2. Buying a gaming desktop AND repair my old laptop, staying within budget. Is that even possible? Maybe moving the old SSD to the desktop and buying a cheap HD for the mac.
    3. Buying a gaming desktop with AND a cheap laptop for when I need to move.

    What is your more experienced opinion?

    Here's the form

    ​

    Total budget and country of purchase:

    1300 EUR (1450 USD) – either Belgium or 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.

    No major needs, but I would prefer if it did not look like a gaming laptop (no LEDs and stuff like that)

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all, can be bulky or heavy.

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

    Windows

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

    15 inches or plus

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

    Not yet but I'd like to start gaming.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

    Games I'd like to try:

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    TW Warhammer

    I do not know enough but I guess medium settings and 60 fps would be fine.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices.

    As I would use the laptop for work too, it's probable I will spend a lot of hours in front of it. So it is better if the screen is comfortable (Flickerfree + Blue light?)

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

    Many thanks!

    Looking for a good 2-in-1 laptop, ~1000$ CAD

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 01:53 AM PDT

    Total budget and country of purchase: 1000$ +-250$, Canada

    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 and a good battery life are most important.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Somewhat, as I will be commuting with this laptop and can't have lots of extra weight on me. Thinness is not a worry.

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

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15" max, although I'm prioritizing smaller 14" or 13" screens.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Some coding, and light if any gaming. Intended to be a personal use laptop / school laptop. Programs such as OneNote and Chrome would be my most used.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? The most I'll run on it is something lowkey like Stardew Valley, so this is a non-issue.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Touchscreen is what I'm mostly looking for, but good quality would be welcome too, as I want to keep this laptop around for a while. SSD is definitely a plus too as ideally it can start up fast. A decent wifi card too would be best, seeing as I'll be on campus wifi for a majority of my time with it.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Something like the Yoga 730 13" is super close, but I'm wary because of the screen flicker stories and squealing from the fans, among other quality control issues. I'm also wary of 15" screens due to wanting to use it in class, and don't want to be a distraction.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.: I most prefer Windows, but am willing to try anything else but a Mac.

My budget is flexible. Thanks in advance.

    I've eyed the Lenovo P53 for a while but cannot convince myself that I seriously need all of the specs (i9 - 9880H, RTX 4000 model). It's showing up to be roughly $2,500 for that unit. I've also looked into the Lenovo P1 and X1 Extreme. My experience with MSI laptops have so far been negative so i'd want to stay away. Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Listed above. I don't care for settings but more than 60 FPS would be desirable.

    • 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 not the most knowledgeable in this field but I would like it to last a long time so I don't want a huge amount of heat problems and upgradeable in some parts. 16gb too

    Acer Swift 3 Vs Thinkpad 330s vs Thinkpad t840

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:13 PM PDT

    I need a laptop for school work (basic Microsoft office and MATLAB use. No video editing or gaming) and great battery life, which is portable enough. I don't prefer a touch screen laptop so no 2-in-1 preferably. I am comfortable with any weight or dimension. Preferably a windows laptop but if needed, mac is also okay. I would like a good amount of storage( 512GB or 1TB)

    I shortlisted the choice to these 2 laptops

    Acer: There is an amazing deal on Amazon right now in which I get 1TB SSD with i7 for under $800. This seems too good to be true so I am sceptical of it

    Thinkpad 330s: This happens to be a great deal too with 2TB hard drive and great specs.

    I am not able to decide between these 2 and am really confused. People also suggested t840 but I think spec-wise 330s is better
    I appreciate any and every help I can get

    College student looking for portable, efficient laptop

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:47 PM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    Budget: $1400 Country: 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 doesn't matter to me

    Good battery is essential

    Would be willing to spend a little more if better specs are available

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Really important, preferably 3lbs or less and somewhat thin

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

    Windows 10

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

    15.6" would be the highest I could do

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

    Very very light gaming--MX150 should be all that I need

    • 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)?

    Some type of HDMI port would be nice, also not necessary but a nice screen-to-body ratio (>85%) is something I like

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

    I have been doing a little bit of looking myself and have been really intrigued on ASUS's zenbook line, specifically their UX431FN

    Any thoughts on that model?

    Thank you everyone!

    Alienware laptop

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:32 PM PDT

    https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/alienware-m15-gaming-laptop/spd/alienware-m15-laptop/WNm15chR110H/configurations I wanted to know if this would be a good laptop for heavily modded Minecraft, fortnite, and pcsx2. I was also curious if going with the 16 gb of ram option would be worth it.

    Laptop suggestions with $1300 budget

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:14 PM PDT

    So I am on the market for a laptop.

    Requirements: Great battery life. Minimum i5 latest gen if possible. Dedicated gpu mx150 or higher. Screen size: 15 preferred but 13 can do. Thin enough to carry across campus and for work but not like lg gram thin. Has to have 1 tb3 and a usb 3.0 or dongle added. I can go slim on ports. I just need tb3. Resolution: any above 1080p and below 4k. Weight has to be less than 4 pounds. And has to have either fingerprint or windows hello. Price $1200-$1300.

    I do a lot of coding and rendering 3D models and emulators.. I have looked some up like razer blade Stealth or Dell xps or acer swift 5. But other options were asus or Lenovo but I had bad experience with both in the past, about 8 years ago. It might have changed but I would like your opinion on other laptops I might have missed that is hitting the requirements. Thanks a lot!

    Looking for something I can for schoolwork, light gaming and programming, $900-$1100

    Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:13 PM PDT

    Budget: $900-$1100. I'm the in US.

    • I would like a good balance of battery life and power, although I would prefer power over battery life.
    • Weight and lightness is of medium importance to me. I wouldn't hate a heavy laptop, but I wouldn't love one either.
    • Windows is my preferred OS.
    • Screen size: 15" or more. If possible, I would LOVE a 120 or 144hz display.
    • I will be gaming, programming, doing schoolwork, and watching shows on this laptop. Games I play on this will be on the lower end spec wise, but I would like the capability to play more demanding games if at all possible.
    • Something with a backlit or RGB keyboard is essential, as I will be using this in the dark often.

    Thank you for your time! What would you guys recommend?
