    Non-gamer looking laptop with dGPU

    Non-gamer looking laptop with dGPU


    Non-gamer looking laptop with dGPU

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 10:43 PM PDT

    I'm pretty out of date when it comes to what laptops are good anymore, I've done a bit of research but have run into a brick wall of sorts.

    I'm looking for a 13-15" laptop that will be used when I travel for work since the work laptop i am provided with only works in the head office buildings, which isn't really that helpful when i'm out of said buildings.

    Since I'll need to stay in hotels overnight i would like it to also have a dGPU (don't need more than a 1050ti) for some light gaming and small amount of 3d modeling/rendering to keep my occupied at night

    I was so close to buying the xp15 9570 since it's 30% off at the moment but after seen all the problems it STILL has (keyboard skipping, screen flickering, audio popping being the biggest ones) has turned my away a bit.

    Total budget and country of purchase:

    $2200.00AUD. Australia

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

    Form factor doesn't matter, will only be used at max of 3hrs on battery, will be powered most of the time

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    it's not as long as it's not too over the top

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

    Windows, may switch to linux.

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent

    13 - 15.6"

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

    Occasional light gaming, very basic 3d modeling & rendering

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

    low demand games, no triple-A titles

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

    MUST have a good keyboard since i will be typing a lot, solid build quality since it will be traveling with me a lot. with that said I'm not a fan of the thinkpad keyboards, we have the x1 carbon at work and the keyboard is a bit too soft for my liking.

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

    Nothing gamer looking, has to be able to fit in with a business setting. ideally have a thunderbolt 3 port since i already have a TB dock (so inputs aren't such a big issue)

    Non-removable Battery Ultrabooks: Buyer Strategy

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:40 AM PDT

    In my buyer-research, I'm finding that the removable-replaceable battery is going the way of the dodo. Even if it's possible to replace an internal battery (i.e. it's not glued in), the battery shape is likely too proprietary to find a good replacement in 3 years... So I'm wondering if this strategy is feasible:

    Get the longest-term warranty possible (5 years?) and hold the OEM to it for battery replacement in 4 years when the battery performance is inevitably drawn way down.

    Thoughts? This probably works better for some OEMs than others. Comments on that?

    Thin and light laptop for 600-700 Euros - Netherlands

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:15 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase: 600-700 Euros. Country of purchase is 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. Don't care for 2-in-1s. Battery life is probably preferred to better specs.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you? About 9 on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being very important.
    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Linux
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13.3in or 14in
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. None of those. I'm guessing the most resource intensive program I have to run is Android Studio. I've only used it on my desktop (6-cores, 16 Gb of RAM) so I don't really know how taxing it is on laptops.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Little to no gaming. If anything, I only play some indie games that could run on a mobile phone (Don't starve, Binding of Isaac etc)
    • 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 is important. Useable touchpad. I prefer VA displays due to the better blacks (I spend a lot of time looking at coloured text on a black background), but not sure if they make laptops with them. Hate TN. I'd also need it to have an HDMI port and at least 2 USB-A ports.

    ~$800USD, Computer science student

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:04 AM PDT

    • Total budget and country of purchase:
      $800 or below, USD. I can purchase online or in person. (Micro center, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. -- as long as the stores are in my country/area)

    • 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 preference, as long as it's portable for school/classes

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      I will be carrying it between school/classes so I'd say decently light and not too bulky. Let's say anything under 6 or 7 lbs? And at max, a 2 subject notebook thick?

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.
      110% no Chrome OS

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      1080p or above, 16:9 aspect ratio

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Maybe, light gaming. Like Teamfight Tactics? I will be using it for school and coding so as long as it can handle tabs, IDE's, things like that. I'd assume 8GB minimum is sufficient?

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      See previous bulletpoint. I don't think TFT requires that much to run? Might be playing League too? Don't care for quality settings as long as it's 1080p or higher with 60fps+.

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

      • Windows Precision drivers would be nice or at least be compatible so I will install it myself.
      • Make sure it is portable since I'm carrying for classes, so nothing heavy.
      • A simple, small battery/charger would be appreciated but not required.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I mentioned it in the above specifics, I'm a college student. So, that means I'll be carrying it around with me so it should be portable, "small-ish" (let's say less than 15inch), be able to handle coding, web browsing, schoolwork, & tabs, light gaming like TFT or league on low setting 60+fps

    I don't plan to purchase until late August. I can even stretch it to September. I'm in no rush.

    I've looked at other laptops like XPS 13/15, Dell G3, LG Gram, Lenovo Legion, Lenovo X1 Carbon, Razer, Macbook Pros.
    Obviously, most or all of these are out of my budget.
    I've also been recommended the HP ENVY x360 2in1 w/ Ryzen. It matches my requirements so, that one is high on my list. Opinions?

    How does the HP ENVY compare to just the HP x360?

    Looking for a reliable >1000 Tablet/Laptop Hybrid for a Teacher in Germany

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 03:26 AM PDT

    I'm going to be a teacher starting September and recently my Laptop broke down completely. Trying to stay ahead of the curve, I thought about getting one of those Tablet/Laptop Hybrids for class. Most of all I'm looking for reliability, I'm not really into getting a new Laptop every 2 years. So far I found:

    Microsoft Surface 6 for 900€

    Lenovo Thinkpad X1 (2018) for 1700 €

    Acer Switch 5 2-in-1 for 800€

    I'd love to get the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 because it seems the most reliable, but is it worth the price difference?

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

    Best case >1000€ but I'm absolutely prepared to pay more if it means I can reliably work with the laptop for 6+ years

    * **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 would be great seeing as I plan to use it in class. Reliability and good battery life go here as well

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

    Not that important. Would be nice but other things are more important

    * **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.**

    No, neither gaming nor any kind of photo/video editing

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

    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)?**

    Reliable build quality is extremely important, no need for finger-print reader or an optical drive.

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

    I tried some of the 2-in-1 Laptops (Lenovo Yogas) and found them quite clunky and I'm not sure if they'll hold up over time, I'd rather stick to those hybrids.

    Looking for a laptop with at least 16gb of ram for college and gaming, 1500$ (Canada)

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 02:24 PM PDT

    I'm looking to buy a laptop for the upcoming school year. My budget can stretch to 1500$CAD, but I'm more comfortable at around 1300$.

    My course requires that I have 16gb of ram and at least a 1920×1080 display.

    I'd like to use it for gaming as well, but I'm looking for the most bang for my buck, if I can get away with lowers specs and a really good deal I'm okay with that. I play games like Overwatch, Stellaris, and Civ VI.

    Need laptop for College, CS major

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:29 AM PDT

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

    USA, <$500

    * **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 is the top priority. At least 6 solid hrs. Best specifications for my budget would be great.

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

    Weight doesn't matter much, although it shouldn't be very heavy/hard to carry

    * **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.**

    No gaming. Light video editing occasionally. IDE's for programming. Should be fast enough for programming needs.

    * **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)?**

    Touch screen NOT a must. Should have an SSD, finger-print reader AND/OR good built quality would be a plus!

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

    My experience with windows laptops is not good. Had a Dell Inspiron that was slow as hell after a year of purchase. I never played any games or any demanding work. Battery life was less than 1.5 hrs on MINIMUM brightness. So i'm not sure if all windows laptops start lagging after a while, or are they just DELL inspiron models that have this issue. Although my laptop did not have an SSD. So maybe that caused it to slow down somehow.

    Just to make it clear, the MAIN USES are:

    1-Browsing with around 50 tabs open at a time. I know that might make a laptop slow, but i honestly expected better from a quad-core processor laptop with 8GB ram(my previous laptop).

    2-Programming for CS classes. Need to be efficient in these tasks.

    3-Ocassional Youtube, Netflix, etc.

    So, the main priorities are only 2.

    1- Long battery life. The maximum i can get for the specified money. Highly disliked the poor battery life, which i have come to notice in many windows laptops(including HP).

    2-Shouldn't lag at all. No compromise on work efficiency. Despite having several browser tabs open all the time, while programming, compiling code, etc, it must NOT Lag.

    Good Value-for-Money Laptop Capable of Playing Modern Games in Standard Settings

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:27 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    title says most of it. I'm kind of looking for the "Pocophone of Laptops", a device that's got power, enough to play most modern video games smoothly, but where I do not pay for unnecessary stuff. I am mainly going to use it for streaming and surfing, but I'd love to play some games also. The reason I am not going for an onboard PC is that I'm moving around the country quite often.

    I do not know what the adequate price range is, but I would be comfortable paying up to around 700€, also more, if the value is good enough. Maybe you guys can tell me how much I should expect to pay.

    Bonus points if it is rather slim, those Laptops look awesome.

    Please tell me if I can give some more useful information about what I want.

    Thank you!

    Edit: here's the form

    • Total budget and country of purchase: -about 700€? More or less could be fine. Germany -

    • 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 sounds cool, but not necessary. Best specs for the money is my focus

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? -not very important, although I really like thin and light laptops, so it's a bonus-

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Just no Mac I guess

      • 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. I want to run games, for instance Company of Heroes 2 or the new Battlefield games. I also use music editing programs, like Pro Tools.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? For instance CoH2 or Battlefield I. Standard settings with more than 30 fps should be fine.

      • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? -none-
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. If putting a bit more money on the table would increase the value of the laptop I can buy substantially I'd be willing to pay

Saw a thinkpad for 1200 at costco today that was super light I'm not sure if its worth the price but its out of my price range but maybe an older model might be viable? I'm not sure.

    Open to any suggestions. thanks!

    Need a reliable laptop, USA

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 11:58 PM PDT

    So i have been using a 2012 macbook pro for a really long time and the battery is finally failing so i went to get the battery replaced. being the idiot that i am i went to a third party repairmen to get it done cheap. long store short it's a complete utter botched job, back cover is fked and it doesn't even work. I needed something fast so i bought a Lenovo flex 14 cuz it seemed nice and it is, i loved it except the fact that it crashed 3 times and froze 2 more times all within less than a week so i'm returning it. I have no clue as to how to pick a laptop! plz help!

    • Total budget and country of purchase: ~$700, 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. decent battery life and good specification. would rather avoid 2 in 1 laptops for now.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? weight not a big issue, anything under 5lb is fine, the thinner the better

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.6 or smaller

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. photoshop and lightroom, maybe light gaming (civ 5, LoL etc...)

    • 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)? reliable quality is my top preference, touch screen would be nice but not necessary.

    Cheap, desktop just for editing?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:53 PM PDT

    Hey guys, just wanted some quick advice. Looking for a basic, cheap, desktop. I'm not big on desktops at all. But need a desktop to edit a lot of my vids (4k mostly but also some lower quality footage for vlogs) my laptop works decent but would be nice to get a cheap new (walmart, amazon type of deal) desktop.

    Any advice, on budget (preferably under 400 bucks or less that can basically just be used to edit vids with Adobe premiere.

    Thanks in advance.
