My search so far: My minimum specs in my search were i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and I favor SSD over HDD. For <$500, this made a small target. I found three that hit the mark. Lenovo ThinkPad T470s - $494.10 Dell Inspiron 15 5593 - $449.99 HP Laptop 15t - $429.99 Please help me decide between these three or suggest another that hits the target.

| Posted: 16 Dec 2019 01:02 AM PST My budget is around 1200$( Can push it to 1400$ if i like the laptop) The laptop will primarily be used for media consumption and browsing so i need a laptop with a beautiful screen that is atleast 15"( I thought of going with surface laptop 3 because of the 3:2 aspect ratio but i was told it wasn't worth the price) It has to be touchscreen but not necessarily a 2in1 I don't mind the thickness or weight Good battery backup is appreciated [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Used budget laptop for office use Posted: 16 Dec 2019 02:39 AM PST
To sum it up, looking for a used laptop with a decent specs for the price. Only requirements are: Full sized keyboard (no tkl), decent specs for day to day use without any majors lags and FHD display with good colors. Bonus points if its color matches this one: Grey Everything other than that is secondary. Storage/SSD doesn't matter, already own one and gonna replace with it. My current Dell E6510 keeps giving me blue screen and overall, it has been a poor experience: Lagging, sometimes freezing completely, struggling to run several basic tasks without choking to death.

| Posted: 16 Dec 2019 12:53 AM PST Total budget and country of purchase: My budget is around 1400,- (I could go a little higher if it is a really solid laptop) and I'm purchasing the laptop 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 am looking for a 2 in 1 laptop with relatively good specs How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight and thinness aren't really that important of a factor to me 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 still not sure, but I'm leaning towards a 15 inch laptop because I'm using the numpad a lot for excel sheets. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. In my own time I like to photoshop a bit but it's not on a professional level. I would also really like to learn a bit of video editing or digital sketching, so the specs should be able to handle those. Full HD is probably enough for me, don't think I need 4K resolutions but I could be wrong. 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 that much on laptop, so this isn't an issue to me. But games I play are for example, hearthstone or slay the spire. I searched for a bit and thought of buying a HP Spectre x360 or a Lenovo Yoga C940, but I'm not sure if those are the right options.

| Looking for a gaming laptop, also used for office work, light audio production and editing Posted: 16 Dec 2019 04:35 AM PST Total budget and country of purchase: $800-1000, 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. Good battery life is the biggest priority on this list, but whenever I need to use the laptop away from home, I'm always within reach of an outlet so it's not a huge deal. 2 in 1/touchscreen would be a bonus, but not super necessary. I teach private music lessons and I sometimes use my laptop, so there are times when a more tablet-style presentation would help. How important is weight and thinness to you? I'd say 3 out of 5, since I do carry it around sometimes. 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", although at home, where I do most of my work and all of my gaming, I plug into a monitor (really a TV) with an HDMI cable. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. For my musical work, I run the Sibelius 7 notation program and Audacity to record audio. It's important to be able to run those, but I don't use ProTools or anything high-end. I do listen to music on the laptop, but through headphones, so the speakers are a non-issue. I use Word and Excel frequently. I do watch a lot of streaming video as well (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu). For gaming, see below. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I enjoy games I've downloaded from Steam, specifically the Fallout series (through New Vegas, my current laptop can't handle FO4), Dead Space, and Batman Arkham. I love Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, but my current machine can't handle the other two. I would like to finish the series, so the laptop needs to meet the following specs (for Arkham Knight). Since the game is a few years old, I'm giving Steam's recommended specs instead of minimum, hoping this will fit my budget: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 (64-bit Operating System Required) Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - 3 GB Memory Recommended | AMD Radeon HD 7950 - 3 GB Memory Recommended DirectX: Version 11 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 55 GB available space Other considerations A hard drive size of at least 500 GB, but preferably bigger, since I have a large music library. I can always get an external drive though. A number pad. This is essential for the Sibelius program. A comfortable keyboard. I do a lot of typing. HDMI port and at least three USB ports. All my peripherals are regular USB, not USB-C, though I'd be open to suggestions on how to utilize USB-C if that's what's generally available now. I thank you for your recommendations and look forward to reading them! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ASUS - ROG GU502GV or a dell G7 for gaming? Posted: 15 Dec 2019 09:45 PM PST I am deciding between the Asus ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gu502gv-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-1tb-ssd-optane-brushed-metallic-black/6338248.p?skuId=6338248 ) and the Dell G7 ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-17-3-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-1tb-hard-drive-256gb-ssd-abyss-gray/6350871.p?skuId=6350871 ) Mostly it would be playing League of Legends (which both should play without any problem) and Path of the Exile, that no machine can run without any issues both have a 2060 with the same processor. Dell Pros: 17 " screen Cons: 60 HZ 256 SSD with 1 TB HD Asus Pros: 144 Hz screen and is 1 TB SSD Cons (more expensive, i got the Dell with an offer). There might be other options but the main constraint I have is the time to get it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A good editing/gaming laptop $400-$525 Posted: 16 Dec 2019 03:17 AM PST I'm super new to PC and wanted to try to get into it using the boxing day sales, but am pretty confused. This would be my first non-brick so I don't need anything crazy. I'm getting into Unity though and would like something that can handle things like that. For perspective I've essentially made a Zelda 1 clone, but would love to get immersed in it, maybe even doing it as a side job. I also want to be able to play games well, in the future I would like to build my own desktop. I'm gonna start with things like Overwatch and maybe play with a friend who's into Tarkov. I'm Canadian and already did the conversion in title, so $525 is $750 to me. I went into The Source to look around and a friend who works there recommend the Asus vivobook x510qa-ts12-cb. I thought it would be great, but looking online has made me less sure. The Asus TUF FX505DT Gaming Laptop I saw in an earlier post looked awesome, but it's also double my budget. I am very happy this sub exists because this was the first thing that came to mind when it came to this stuff. It would be great to get a reply kinda URGENTLY because boxing day isn't so far away, but thanks to anyone who replies. tl;dr Need a computer that can run games and do Unity like work. Looking at Asus vivobook x510qa-ts12-cb, but am iffy. New to PC and need something cheap, $400-$525~.

| Reliable gaming laptop for $2000 Posted: 16 Dec 2019 01:37 AM PST
I want to buy a gaming laptop which should last 5-10 years and provide adequate gaming performance. My main concerns are: reliability, good cooling, self serviceable. I'm living in Kazakhstan, so choice is severely limited and service is not always good here. My budget is 2000 but I can extend it to 2500 for exceptional model. I think that for my needs 2060 and 2070 are the most appropriate GPUs. Laptops with 2080 are outside of my budget. There are plenty of 1660Ti laptops, I'm not sure if I should consider them. According to benchmarks 2060 is better than 1660Ti and RTX is a bonus, so for now I want to try to select an RTX model. I don't think that CPU matters much, although it can't be realistically replaced, so, I guess, something like 9750H is a good bonus. I don't care much about RAM and SSD/HDD setup either, as those are usually could be changed easily. I've selected laptops from local stores, please help me to choose the most reliable one among those models.

| HP lappy HDD failed. Debating whether to stick with lappy or go with tablet & NAS Posted: 15 Dec 2019 07:04 PM PST
USA. Looking at around $500-$600 tops when I get my tax refund in March-ish
I'm really intrigued by the 2in1 as I would like to use it for reading books/comics without having to play the switcheroo game with memory sticks to the tablet.
Almost zero
I'm most familiar with Windows. Linux is Greek to me and I don't like Mac.
Not really, but I'd be happy in the 13-15" range.
Don't plan on doing much gaming, although I have considered games like Warframe, Destiny 2, or WoW. No video editing or CAD Wouldn't mind some Bluetooth action but not gonna lose sleep if it doesn't have it.
Warframe, Destiny 2 or maybe WoW. Coming from ps4, I'm fine with 30-60fps.
With that out of the way... The HDD on my lappy failed recently and have been unable to recover any data from it. It was/is an HP 15f272 running Win 10. Fortunately, most of what's important to me was backed up on a portable external drive. I usually do a back up about once a month to protect against exactly this. The battery was also an issue as I needed to have always plugged in as not doing so gave me about 10min of runtime. I often use my lappy for streaming video to the ps4, word files, spreadsheets, and very light gaming - Star Wars Rebellion from 1998 via steam, my son did some minecraft for awhile on it, WoW occasionally. It never had a good enough video card to run Warframe or Destiny 2 without skipping. My conundrum now is do I get a new HDD and battery, or a "not so hefty" lappy or tablet and some kind of NAS system to handle much of the streaming and data backup? I'm not even sure if the ps4 would even recognize a NAS system/personal server and am not familiar with maintaining something like this. Willing to learn though. But I am familiar with the setup I had before despite some of the drawbacks - always had to leave lappy plugged in and powered on (probably what ruined the battery and possibly lead to the corruption of the HDD?), would stop signaling after a few hours and having to restart the lappy. I had a Bluray player that was able to stream, but some of the apps (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube) were no longer supported so I brought the ps4 into the living room since the apps were all still supported. I would rate my tech/software savvy-ness as average. TL;DR Do I fix the lappy or go big with a NAS/personal cloud solution. [link] [comments]  |
