    4 year old 2015 MacBook Pro or brand new 2015 MacBook Air?

    4 year old 2015 MacBook Pro or brand new 2015 MacBook Air?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 08:53 PM PST

    I have had my 2015 MacBook Pro for about 4 years now. My Dad has bought me a brand new 2015 MacBook Air for Christmas. I don't know much about computers and computer parts, but I do know that the Pro has a 2.7 GHz Dual Core Intel i5 and the Air has a 1.5GHz Dual Core i5. I also know that the Pro has a better display and screen resolution.

    I use the MacBook for a lot of things as a college student, like homework and Youtube, but I mostly grind OldSchool Runescape for many hours a day. I know Macs aren't great gaming computers, but I enjoy the MacOS and only play OSRS and occasionally stuff like Minecraft and TFT with friends.

    I don't really know how big of a difference the CPU and display changes will be, but the MacBook Pro runs all the games I do play very slow and laggy at low settings. Would the 2015 Air be able to run these games as good as the 2015 Pro? Would the Pro slowly deteriorate after a couple more years (processing power, battery life, etc.)? Is there really much of a difference at all? I plan to give my Dad whichever computer I don't end up using since he has been using my brother's old 2013 MacBook occasionally for when he travels for work.

    Help Me Choose: [1] MacBook Pro 16" (2019) / [2] Dell XPS 7590 15" (2019) / [3] Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme 15.6"

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 09:39 PM PST

    I have had my current laptop (Dell Inspiron) for ~3 years and it is time for a replacement. I would like to make my purchase before December 31st for tax reasons. I narrowed my search down to three machines.

    I have always been a Windows user, but I am interested in OS X for its (perceived) simplicity and longevity.

    Even the "clean" install of Windows has a bunch of apps I don't like, and I hate how programs randomly save things in different sub-folders. It seems like OS X provides a more minimalistic environment.

    I have also heard that Mac hardware lasts longer. I am tired of replacing my PC laptop every 3-4 years (battery always seems to go bad after 1-2 years, machine starts performing slower after any usage, etc.). Ideally my next machine will function well at the 5-year mark.

    That said, I am open to sticking with a Windows PC -- sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

    ​

    THE USAGE:

    • 70% music production (e.g. ~3 Omnisphere tracks, ~3 Kontakt tracks, ~3 Sylenth tracks, ~16 audio tracks, ~6 FX plug-ins on any given track)
    • 30% general (e.g. spreadsheets, notes, email, streaming, etc.)

    THE CONTENDERS:

    [1] MacBook Pro 16" (2019) - NEW

    • $2,808.11 after taxes
    • 32GB RAM / 512GB SSD
    • 9th gen, 6-core, i7 (unsure) CPU

    [2] Dell XPS 7590 15" (2019) - REFURBISHED

    • $1,459.99 after taxes
    • 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD
    • 9th gen, 6-core, i7-9750H CPU

    [3] Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme 15.6" (unsure, probably 2017-2018) - REFURBISHED

    • $1,300.00 after taxes
    • 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD
    • 8th gen, 6-core, i7-8750H CPU

    ​

    THE QUESTIONS:

    • Which of the above options do you recommend? Why?
    • The RAM is the same in each machine. Do you think they would all perform the same? I assume so, but I watched several YouTube videos where the MacBook Pro outperformed the XPS even with less RAM.

    My considerations are weighted something like this:

    (1) functionality and experience - 50%

    (2) value (longevity / price) - 40%

    (3) form and style - 10%

    Looking for Powerful Laptop for Serious Scientific Computation

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:12 PM PST

    I am helping my boss in a university research group to buy a laptop for research use. This machine will serve as a moving load of extra computing power shared among our group members.

    ​

    • Total budget and country of purchase:
    1. Hong Kong. (note that some products apparently are not sold here, such as the HP ZBook series)
    2. 2500 USD (This is not really a hard limit. I asked my boss what's his budget, and he relied me "I got tons of money"... lol. He just want the most powerful model out there, but apparently he doesn't really know today's prices, and honestly I don't neither.)
    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.
    1. Best spec for the money.
    2. GPU doesn't matter that much; it is good to have a decent one though
    3. CPU power is of foremost important; having more than 4 cores will be a plus
    4. 16 GB RAM at least
    5. No Lenovo please.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Doesn't matter.
    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows. Will dual boot Linux also, if that matters.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15" or below is preferred, but is OK to go oversize a bit.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. We will be running a lot of physics simulations (ones that written by ourselves in Python or whatever), that are basically tons of numerical calculations. Other than that will just be standard office tasks.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? N/A

    Gaming Laptop for someone who doesn’t know anything about hardware

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 08:11 PM PST

    I've tried doing my research about laptops, and the more I read, the more confusing it gets, so I decided to come here. I guess everyone wants this, but I'm looking for something that:

    has nice, somewhat realistic graphics

    won't lag into oblivion playing an open world game like Just Cause

    Won't burn the table or whatever surface it's sitting on

    I have around a $2000 budget, and I'm aware of brands like RoG, Alienware, Omen, and Razer, but I have no idea where to start. I like the look of Razer laptops, but I've heard some bad things about the lifespan of those computers. My friend has an Alienware, and he says it works well for the first year, then it gets really slow, and he can't even play anything on it anymore. Omens seem very weak with their graphics comparatively, and I haven't heard much about RoG. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, and I know everyone looks for this kind of computer, so I'm not sure if my parameters are of much help, sorry about that too.

    Thank you for any help or suggestions!

    Small laptop for video editing

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 12:54 AM PST

    I need a small laptop (smaller than 13" if possible) that I can easily take it out with me and powerful enough to have video editing programs on it and works smooth. My budget is around $1000.

    LAptop for creating content, coding, and maybe some gaming.

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:00 PM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: 1200 plus extra for warranty. 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. Not a fan of 2 in 1, but if the price is right ill go for it. good battery would be nice and bang for buck would also be nice.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Anything below 5 pounds would be nice. Thinness is also preferred, but not necessary.

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

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.6 and below.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I would like to video-edit on it, whether that's Sony Vegas or Premiere. Also be able to use photoshop and aftereffects. I plan to use it for coding as well in the future.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? If it could play counter strike, fortnite, and overwatch at the lowest settings and still hit 150 fps or better, that would be nice. I still aim to use this computer more as a workstation than for gaming as I already have a desktop.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Id like it to have a good keyboard. 16 GB of RAM is something that I want for sure. I wouuld also like the computer have both an SSD, of 256 or 512 GB, and a HDD, of 1 TB or bigger.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. RAM size is the most important. If the computer does a good job in creating content, i would find that better than being able to run games at a high enough FPS as I already have a desktop at home. Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Student looking for a new laptop

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 03:57 AM PST

    I'm a student that needs a new laptop for School after my old broke down due to various hardware issues, I am mainly looking for a device that is able to reliably to fulfil all of my work and minor gaming needs effectively over a good period of time, though I'm also considering to either get a higher end laptop or a decent desktop for the purposes of playing some higher end games I'm interested in, a desktop being mainly considered because higher end laptops aimed at gaming tend to have their effectiveness compromised overtime which I want to avoid.

    Total budget and country of purchase: Australia, I have about a budget of $2000ish I could spend on the laptop. But I'm potentially looking to buy a desktop under the same budget.

    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 don't particularly care for a 2:1 factor, though I would like something that has a good battery life.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? I want something that's not overly cumbersome to carry and isn't too obstructive towards the use of other objects on a desk or other workspaces.

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

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I'm not particularly picky about screen size, though I would prefer a larger screen size aslong as it doesn't compromise any other key factors of the laptop such as weight.

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

    Nothing particularly high-end except with a gaming exception that is expressed in the answer to the question below.

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

    Ideally it would be nice to be able to play relatively high end games like Total War Warhammer 2 at the quality listed at the bottom of the post, but if it compromises the laptop's capabilities in the long term I'm probably just going to be playing mostly relatively low end games.

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

    I would like something that doesn't suffer from a substantial lost of effectiveness over time like the Alienware laptops for example tend to suffer from, otherwise I mainly need a good keyboard but most other specific functions aren't required. Though if you would like to recommend them for a student you're definitely welcome to.

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

    I'm considering buying a desktop for the purposes of playing any higher end games I'm interested in whilst simultaneously having a longer life than a laptop, I'm not a serious gamer by any means and simply would like to be able to run things like Total War Warhammer 2 at the very least with a 30-60 FPS at lowish-medium graphics. If it helps here are the recommend specs for the game as recommended by Steam

    OS: Windows 7 / 8 (8.1)/ 10 64Bit Processor: Intel®️ Core™️ i5-4570 3.20GHz

    Memory: 8 GB RAM

    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB | AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB u/1080p

    DirectX: Version 11

    Storage: 60 GB available space

    Thank you in advance for your response!

    • 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 for money, not concerned about battery life as will be plugged in almost 100% of the time while in use.

    I need some help with choosing the right laptop for me

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:29 PM PST

    Hello everyone ! My budget is between 400$ and 600$. This may be very unreasonable; therefore, sorry if it is. I would like to get a laptop that'll last me a long time, doesn't overheat easily, is durable, has good battery life, and is fairly good enough for gaming. I'm a college student and I'm willing to use it for my studies and work while also playing some games on it. Of course I did some research and found out that mx150 and 1050ti gpus are the only ones I can afford really. 1050ti is more expensive but it's the bare minimum to play most games. Is there such a laptop that's a good fit for me ? Thanks everyone for your help

    Total budget and country of purchase: between 400$ and 600$. Morocco.

    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, durable, long lasting, preferrably doesn't overheat easily.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not very important but light weight and thin is preffered.

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

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15" and above if possible. No less than 14".

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Games that are playable with a 1050ti or mx150.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Medium to high hopefully. I found out that 1050ti is the cheapest one that does the job.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Not really.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. -fill here, remove dashes-

    Laptop for coding and maybe light gaming.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 02:45 AM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: ~1300 USD

    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 would be nice.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not the main concern but certainly a plus.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Both Windows AND Linux (dual boot).

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Preferably 17" but 15.6" is ok too.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Mostly coding (main focus). Light gaming and sometimes Blender / Unity.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Medium settings are fine. I aim this computer more as a workstation than for gaming.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Minimum 12GB RAM, 16GB is better. I'd like to have a numeric keypad. I need both an SSD (256GB more or less) and a HDD (1TB or bigger) (7200rpm is a really nice plus).

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. RAM size and CPU power are the most important (i7 +8th gen). A very good GPU is not the main focus (any Nvidia will do I guess). Also I'd prefer an Asus or MSI. No HP and certainly no Acer nor Lenovo. Also Intel and Nvidia. No AMD/ Ryzen.

    ​

    Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Lenovo Thinkpad T450s vs Dell Latitude E5470

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 02:19 AM PST

    Im looking for a refurbrished laptop for college I found two interesting options within my budget:

    Thinkpad T450s: i5-5300u 8GB DDR3 256GB SSD FHD IPS screen for 330 USD

    Dell Latitude E5470 i5-6200u or 6300u 8GB DDR4 128GB SSD M.2 FHD IPS screen for 300 USD

    Both laptops are in good visual condition, I slightly prefer the T450s for it's keyboard as I've heard it's the best you can get in a laptop.

    What do you guys think about these two? Or maybe something else?

    help me choose a laptop for school/gaming

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 02:16 AM PST

    i'm tossing up between 2 options right now:

    the macbook pro 1.4GHz quad-core processor Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz 256GB storage which goes for about AUD$2100 (with a student discount)

    or a Huawei Matebook 13 i7-8565U, 512GB SSD/8GB, MX150 which is on sale for the next week or 2 for AUD$1400

    I do quite a lot of work for school having multiple tabs open at once and also writing a lot of essays. I also game, playing League of Legends almost everyday. There's a $700 price difference between the two and I'm not sure what to get. I prefer Mac OS for school and the convenience that it allows for my iPhone but i heard there was a possibility that LoL doesn't run on the new MacOS Catalina (no definitive evidence). The two laptops look similar too...let me know your thoughts.

    I'd like help on choosing a new Laptop

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:25 PM PST

    I'm looking for a laptop for mainstream and diverse use but also one that I can game with on moderate to high settings. I would also like a high refresh rate if it is possible, and a laptop that's built to last (of course if I take care of it well) I'd be willing to be flexible on the price.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: 1200$ Ordering Online
    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Here are the specs:

    Screen resolution: 1080 or more

    RAM: 16 GB

    Storage: 500 GB - 1 TB SSD

    Dedicated GPU with 4 GB memory or more

    Touch screen and 2 in 1 form factor aren't necessary but it's something nice to have.

    Case that looks discreet and doesn't "scream" gaming

    I'd like a pretty good to long lasting battery life

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? not important as long as its not too heavy and thick
    • 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. Heaviest software I could think of using is Adobe Software. I also plan to use this laptop for coding in the future.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I'd like to run heavy duty games such as Witcher 3 on moderate to high settings.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Well I will like gta v to run at 70 FPS or better. But I'm honestly happy if it hits a least 60 FPS, same with red dead redemption 2.

    Graphic design, personal, maybe casual gaming/streaming laptop suggestions ... should i stick with apple? switch to pc?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2019 12:47 AM PST

    (pls bear with how much of a noob i am)

    I'm wanting a new laptop since i'm currently using a 2013 13" macbook pro and have an xmas budget to afford a new one. all my new other devices (phone, tablet) are apple but my work runs PCs and i'm fairly comfy switching between a mac/pc

    i'm starting to do some freelance graphic design and i'm wondering if it would be easier to just stick with a mac (13" air or pro) since it can connect more easily to my ipad (i use procreate for freelancing) or if i would switch to the one i was considering before my freelance picked up, the razer stealth 13

    open to suggestions too :)

    AMD vs Intel. Differences and Pros and Cons.

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 08:30 PM PST

    Hello there humble folks of /r/SuggestALaptop

    So, I've been browsing for a laptop to buy for the past month and a half or so. Missed a Black Friday deal, and I fear I missed out.

    Anyhow! My question pertains to the age old AMD vs Intel topic, mobile processor edition. However, I'm just here to inquire only about the less spoke of differences between the two. I'm not asking about prices, gaming benchmarks, or clock speeds. Things like thunderbolt 3, and other lesser known differences between the two.

    Can anyone off insight or some resources to look into?

    Thanks

    Help me choose a CAD $900-$1200 business laptop: ThinkPad T480s vs Latitude 7490

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:35 PM PST

    I am looking a conservative midrange business laptop. By conservative I mean not flashy and ideally all black. Something that doesn't scream state of the art or expensive to the public. I need an ethernet jack.

    I want a great typing experience.

    Budget is $900-1200 Canadian.

    The product must be available in Canada.

    So far I like the ThinkPad T480s and the Latitude 7490. The main drawback of the T480s is its poor 250 nit display. However, I personally do not need a great display. I have an external monitor at home and the laptop would primarily be for emails, excel, and browsing.

    Unfortunately the 7490 might not be available in Canada anymore. The 7400 is its successor and seems inferior (no ethernet jack)

    US College student, $600

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:37 PM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: between $500-$600. I don't know much about computers so I'm willing to go up if necessary.

    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. I would like a 2 in 1, that being said it is not necessary at all.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? no much though > 5 lb would be great

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

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

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I will be using Adobe CC. I would like to run inventor decently, but if it's not possible that's fine as anything demanding I'll use the computer lab for.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I don't game.

    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.

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

    Hopefully, decent battery life, 500 gm memory, 12gb+ ram since those seem to be the basics ( or options that can be upgraded easily) & possibly a touch screen. I would like the extra features, but they would just be extra. I'd also like to add that I previously had a dell 15 3531 Inspiron that worked wonderfully even as a budget laptop with intel Celeron and 4gb. New asus vivobook 15, lenovo flex and thinkpads that I've tried out seem to crash fairly easily, Idk if it's because of adobe programs.

    Thank you in advance!

    I am looking for a good AMD Ryzen 5,7, or 9 Laptop for around 2k in the USA. I would be using it for graphic design, photo editing, video editing, and gaming. Looking at Razor Blade, Predator, and XPS 15.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: Around 2k, 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. I prefer best specifications, I will be using this laptop for editing photos, designing websites, drawing through photoshop on a Wacom tablet, editing videos from time to time, and gaming. I almost always work plugged in as well, so battery life is secondary although welcome.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not very important, but it would be nice if it could look professional.

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

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I prefer 17" but I can make an exception for 15". I would love to find a laptop with nice color gamut and OLED if possible because i am a graphic designer and color is important.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, Lightroom, XD, FruityLoops, Steam games, overwatch, perhaps some other games like whenever the next elder scrolls comes out.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I would like to play at high settings at the minimum 30fps.

    • Things I already have: I already own one terabyte ssd drives. I have a Wacom Cintiq that I will be using as a second monitor and to draw.

    • Ones I've been scoping: I've been looking at the Razor Blades and the predators. I've also been checking out the Dell XPS 15.

    • i am open to purchase an intel CPU, I just read good thigns about the ryzens.

    I personally feel my budget is at the max, you really don't need to hit that high.
