Best budget 2-in-1 convertible for a student ~500-600€ [Germany] Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:58 AM PST
Spec wise i'd say any i5/7 >=8th gen or 3rd gen Ryzen (probably intel for battery life, i feel like i shouldn't bother with 2core processors in 2019), 8gb RAM, >=250gb SSD, good (ideally backlit) keyboard, solid build quality and a decent 1080p IPS screen would be best. Long battery life would be nice and low weight aswell, but it'll be plugged in a lot so not the highest priority. I guess USB-C charging with display port passthrough (so a dock with a single connector could be added later) would be nice, but probably not possible in the price range. Most seem to be 14", but how is 15.6" for a convertible (or is that already too large to be comfortable)? here is a filtered list to show some of the prices. Although i also have access to student discounts, e.g. here. Links in german but should be understandable anways. I could use some help choose between some of the options: My frontrunner currently is the Lenovo Ideapad C340. Main downside seems to be the somewhat dimm display with low color accuracy, but that seems to be the norm in this price range. Price wise depending on the exact configuration those currently cost between 500-600€ So the alternatives would be the HP Pavilion/envy X360, Acer Spin 3, Asus VivoBook/Zenbook 14 or maybe Dell Inspiron 14 5482 2-in-1. Some of those however are already stretching the budget. And the Lenovo Campus Yoga C740 for 850€ seems really nice, but since the original plan was closer to 500€ it is quite a bit above that. Or should i just not bother with the convertible feature and get a regular 14-15.6" laptop. Maybe a Thinkpad, something from Dell or an Asus Zenbook? In that case what would the go to recommendations for just a solid quality conventional 15.6" laptop be?

Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:43 AM PST I've recently purchased an HP Pavilion 15 gaming laptop with i5 9300H & GTX 1050 3GB from Walmart for $500 ($150 off Black F sale). It comes with 1 8GB ddr 4 2666 ram stick. I think max cap is 32GB. It's got 2 total ram slots and one of them is empty. I have a BALLISTIX SPORT 8GB kit 2x4GB ddr4 RAM sticks rated at 2400 speed and 1.2V. My question is if I add one 4GB ram stick(2400) to the existing 8GB(2666) one will I get dual channel memory? I know it'll run at the slower speed (2400). Also, is it possible to overclock the 4GB one to 2666? If not then will slower speed and more ram hurt my gaming performance? Is it worth adding extra 4GB if it's going to run at slower speed single channel? Here is the link to the laptop if anyone's interested. I think it's a great deal for what you're getting. Thanks!

Looking for a sub-$500 laptop for light gaming Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:23 AM PST
[link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Looking for a 2 in 1 for artwork, light video editing and medium gaming under $1,500 USA Posted: 28 Nov 2019 06:58 PM PST Someone else posted a very similar thread today but I had some additional questions and didn't want to piggy back off of their thread, which is here Hope this is okay.
Under $1500, lower is best. I don't have a steady job right now, and my mother has offered to loan me part of the cost, but I'd like to not be too indebted. I will use this laptop in part for work. Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life etc? I'm really looking for a 2 in 1, mainly because they can be good for art. My last laptop was a 2 in one but it didn't have pen capabilities. I'd really like something that uses windows ink/is pen capable, so I can use it with Adobe products and various drawing software. I also would like to use it in tablet mode connected to my keyboard (the music kind of keyboard) for piano practice, and a 2 in 1 works best for that* How important is weight and thinness to you? I'd prefer it to not be too heavy. I'm using my ancient 8 pound behemoth from 2009 right now and it's way too big. Under 5 pounds preferred.* Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows* Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Under 17". I'm stuck trying to decide between 15" and 13". * Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I do light photo editing, and will hopefully be doing some very light video editing, not sure which editor I will use yet. I will also use it for moderate gaming. I've had to use OBS in the past for work, too and it never ran smooth so I'd like a laptop that can actually record my screen without kaggig do much that the audio is years behind the video.* If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? The Sims 4, with a ton of CC and mods, Apex, various medium to high spec games and some older games too. I usually play on medium to high settings for games. I know a 2 in 1 isn't meant for gaming, but there has to be one that can handle medium spec gaming, right? Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Prefer a good build because my last laptop died within a year, ssd a must. * Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Questions: first, the dudes at Best buy told me I'll need 16 gigs of RAM. Is 16 gigs too much? I'd like the laptop to last awhile but it also ups the cost. I was also told that I need a discrete graphics card. Is that true? I'm worried about overheating, especially with discrete graphics. My last laptop would overheat with even just chrome up with one tab, and the fans would blow so loud that I couldn't think. It also got so hot at one point that I got burned and I don't want a repeat. I've been considering one of the Lenovo Yoga 730 laptops or an HP Spectre, but I'm not sure if either of those are the right way to go. I've also heard some of the Asus zenbook's might fit the bill but again I don't know. Any advice welcome. Thanks for a great sub!

Help with deciding between 2 gaming laptops Posted: 28 Nov 2019 07:43 PM PST Hey guys so I've shortlisted between 2 gaming laptops. I would love to hear your opinion regarding both of them. Thanks.

Please help me decide between 2 laptops Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:35 AM PST Background: I want to buy a laptop and I'm not a gamer. I need it for doing personal work + office work. So I need more robust and sturdy machine with good processor. After my research I finalized two laptops:
There is a substantial difference in price. All I'm wondering about mainly three things:
My heart is going for Envy because of higher processor and model (touch / X360/ Stylus Pen) but then I think 15.6" screen size may be too much and also it costs high as currently I'm using Mac Air 13". Please solve my dilemma. P.S.: If you guessed me right and have any other laptop to suggest, please feel free :).

Choosing between Asus Zenbook UX533FD and UX480FD (Europe) Posted: 29 Nov 2019 03:35 AM PST Hi! I'm trying to decide which one of these laptops to get. UX533FD and UX480FD. I need it to replace my current 7-year-old laptop, and it will be my main PC for at least a year (probably more) until I can build a desktop one. I use it for schoolwork, netflix, etc... and some gaming (mainly LoL and Sims, nothing too demanding). I'm not interested in playing AAA in max settings, so while I want a dedicated GPU a 1050 is more than enough (and a big jump from my GT630M). Both of these are similar in price and specs - The 15" one is a bit better I think and has more RAM, but I would prefer a smaller one, hence the 14". Buuuut the 15" has the spanish keyboard (which I would like, but it's not a dealbreaker). Opinions? Thanksssss [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Posted: 29 Nov 2019 03:31 AM PST Hi all, need a recommendation on what laptop to buy, i havent bought a pc or laptop in a few years so ive gone abit clueless on what too look for now. Only want to spend 400 and must be from pc world (currys) im going to be buying 2 of the same and already having stuff on finance with them its ideal to just throw it on top off what i already have, mainly going to be used for internet browsing and mild retro gaming so i dont need a power house, something that will comfortably run warcraft 3 and WoW on low quality. Ideally a decent sized screen too, thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Help me decide between these two Laptops! Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:24 PM PST I've decided I want to get an Acer Aspire 5. I've found two models of it and I'm not sure which one to get. This one from Newegg or this one from Acer. The only difference I can spot with my untrained eyes is that the Acer one has 12gb RAM as opposed to 8. Everything in the Acer store is 25% off, so in the end the Newegg one is around $533 and the Acer one is around $560. Is it worth the extra 30 bucks for more RAM? Is there any other difference I'm missing? Is it better to purchase from one of these sellers than the other? Please help! Thank you!

Surface Pro 7 or Surface Go? For taking notes mainly Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:01 PM PST I was deciding on these two laptops or other 2 in 1's. I just want to take notes (on google docs) and play some basic io games every once in a while throughout a six-hour school day. I will probably have it on 3 hours of the 6, sometimes a bit more maybe a bit less. Would the Surface Go have enough processing power to take notes for these 3-4 hours? I would rather the Surface Go since it is a lot cheaper, but if the life of it won't last I am fine to buy the Surface Pro 7 or other 2 in 1's, just wanted yall's opinion.

After a laptop in the UK for £300 Help! Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:55 AM PST Edit: didn't fill out the form... Total budget and country: £300 in Glasgow, Scotland Prefer a standard laptop not a 2 in 1. Best specs for the money. Battery life doesn't matter much because it mainly stays at home plugged in. Weight and thinness are inconsequential Probably after windows because it is familiar but linux would be alright and fun to get used to. Obviously mac is out of the question and I wouldn't like a chrome book so I can use non internet based programs. A 15" screen would be good. Not running any intensive software and no gaming I can't think of any specific features and I don't think you get much of a choice at my price point I hope this helps. Thanks in advance.

Looking for Dell laptop with durable power adapter Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:45 AM PST
Original post before formatting below Sorry for the vague title, but I hate putting the whole question up there. I'm in the market to get a new laptop through work, but the caveat here is that it has to be a Dell. I'm currently on an old Dell Precision M3800, and the only issues I've ever really had on it is the power adapter and touchpad (the latter of which seems like a physical design issue that's been addressed). The cord managed to twist itself very slowly (over ~2 years) on the inside where the cable actually connects to the laptop, and eventually no longer would charge the laptop properly. Specs wise, I don't need anything super fancy, but wondered if any of their newer offerings used a more robust style of power adapter? Even advice or tips on how to prevent issues like the one I had with my current style of cable would also be great! I've been looking at the XPS series specifically, and they seem to use a nearly identical style adapter. It's sort of my biggest hangup here, haha [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I was thinking of the new MacBook Air, but what do you think I should get? It's mostly text book based and most things online will be reports and intense research. Maybe light gaming if it allows but idc that much about it. Mac OS is preferred but not by much, prob since I haven't used it before. 1750's the limit... I'd prefer cheaper. Thanks!
