One of Those SSDs would be a great choice to speed things up. Buying Ram for your laptop is a little more complicated, depending if you have 1 stick of ram already, or 2 sticks, and if you do what DDRM they are, so if that is something you are considering just comment/chat and I will check it for you. (same goes if you want a laptop and nothing on this list suits you). Here is also some specific lists that can work as gifts. List of laptops with USB C charging. List of Laptop Backpack for Back Pain For now this is the list, but I am still working on it, let me guys know if you have another way to break them down or other options I should add.

| Gaming laptop at around 500 dollars Posted: 17 Dec 2019 03:37 AM PST So I already have a gaming PC but I need one to travel, study and game with my gf at home, instead of buying another desktop I'll use a laptop for it. I need it to at least run a newer modern games. You can go a little overboard on the price tag, but I can't afford more than 1000 dollars. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 17 Dec 2019 03:06 AM PST You guys seem way more knowledgeable on computers than me. I need a laptop that will last a decent amount of time, one I can play Sims 4 on (I don't play any other games although I might in the future), I'd like to stream movies and study on it too. My budget is $900 but love a good bargain. Thanks!!! [link] [comments]  |
| Did I make the right decision? Posted: 17 Dec 2019 02:57 AM PST I just bought a refurbished Dell G7 with an i7 8750h, a GTX 1060 Max Q a 256GB SSD and a 500GB hard drive for 630$ with tax. It has the AUO screen which can be overclocked to at least 90Hz (Higher if I get lucky) I use laptops mostly to game, but I'm thinking of getting into programming (ML, Data analysis and Game Designing). Initially my budget was 550$ and I can't go but think I spent more than I should have. Should I return it or keep it? [link] [comments]  |

| Can anyone suggest me a gaming laptop from argos please Posted: 17 Dec 2019 01:23 AM PST |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:57 AM PST Both of these laptops' prices are in the $600-700 Range. After doing a research on both of these laptops, I found out that the best one is Asus TUF FX505DT-AH51. It has a 120Hz Display, International Warranty and 2 RAM Slots. As for Lenovo Ideapad L340, it has only one RAM slot (which is pretty rare for gaming laptops these days) and you need a certified technician to upgrade the RAM or/and the HDD unless you want the warranty voided. Well the warranty is valid only in US & Canada so far. The only advantage of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 (81LK00HDUS) is that due to its design, it doesn't strike out as a gaming laptop. I have made a post on my website. It contains tables with both of these laptops with as much information (and videos) I have found. NOTE: The links that redirect to Amazon are affiliate links.

| Should I get the mid-2017 or the late-2018 macbook air model? Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:41 AM PST So I want to get a macbook for music production and music software as well as for school. I don't want to buy a macbook pro because I'm broke. So I was comparing the two and it seems that the benchmarks for the 2018 model are better, but not by a huge amount. So it seems to me that the main difference is in the screen at a higher resolution and two usb-c ports instead of actually useful ports. I don't really want to go through the hassle of getting all of the adaptors for the usb-c. So would it be worth it for me to get the 2018 model? It's more expensive but it doesn't really seem that much better to me. Besides maybe the look and the asesthetic of the device maybe. Is there anything else I need to consider? Is it just generally better to buy the latest computer models to make it more future proof? Which one should I buy? [link] [comments]  |
| Budget gaming laptop in Central Europe Posted: 16 Dec 2019 01:43 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: 650 - 800$ (about 700eu), Poland/Lithuania Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Just the best option for the cheapest price, good battery is not that important How important is weight and thinness to you? Not that important Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Not too small Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Mostly for gaming, stuff like NBA 2k20, FIFA/PES, Football Manager and maybe some simulation, shooting games If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Nba, PES, fifa, need for speed, COD, LOL, assasins creed. For medium/high quality Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? N/A Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Not for professional gaming, most important is that games would run nicely. Thanks!

| Posted: 16 Dec 2019 08:24 PM PST My 12 year old wants a "gaming laptop" to play games over at his friends. When I hear gaming laptop a $3k Alienware rig comes to my mind and that's not happening. I imagine to my 12 year old it means that it plays games and has lights. Lol (RGB not required) What are the minimum specs and an example or two of machines he would be able to play triple A releases at medium settings for the next couple years. Do I need be looking at dedicated graphics? What's my price point here on the low end or would I better off with a integrated graphics and a higher end processor? Thanks!
<$500, US. Can be flexible if there's a big break in performance at $350/$550 or wherever
Specifications for the money
Not really,
Windows.
N/A
Schoolwork, internet browsing and gaming
No specific FPS targets but I want him to be able to play triple A titles with his friends as they're released for the next year or two. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Laptop with the highest resolution and hertz possible right now? Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:09 AM PST What's the laptop with the highest possible resolution and hertz right now? My dream is to have a laptop that's 4k and 240 hertz, but that technology sadly isn't possible yet. Anyone know which laptop has the absolute best specs for these two features? Edit: I'm looking for both specs to be the highest they can be. Ik 240 hertz laptops exist and 4k laptops exist. I'm talking about together. [link] [comments]  |

Touchpad, stylus either included or compatible (please recommend one if you know of any good ones). 360 is nice but not required. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The laptop I've been using for school died yesterday, and I need a new one for my last semester in college. After May, I will primarily use this laptop to draw. I was looking at the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen, but I'm sure there has to be something cheaper that would serve the same function. Thank you kindly for any suggestions. [link] [comments]  |

| New laptop for light gaming and some data science Posted: 16 Dec 2019 10:40 PM PST Hello, I recently had my HP Spectre stolen from my car so now I'm looking for a replacement. I am currently a senior in university in the US with a budget of around $1,300. I plan to use the computer for some gaming (typically League of Legends and Minecraft). I'm also studying statistics so I would like the laptop to be able to handle data analysis software and programming, mostly R, Python, Stata, and SPSS. Other than that I plan to use the laptop for basic computer stuff like Microsoft Office, emails, web browsing etc. 2 in 1 is not necessary and honestly probably more annoying to me than helpful. I'd like a 13" screen and for it to be as light as possible. I'd prefer Windows just because it's what I'm familiar with, but I'm open to Macs. My HP Spectre had serious issues with overheating, so I'd like to avoid that if possible. The Intel i7 seemed sufficient and the size/weight were also good. I am currently considering a Dell XPS13.

| $2000-$2400 MacBook for audio recording and mixing (US) Posted: 16 Dec 2019 10:32 PM PST I'm looking for something that can handle up to 20-25 tracks on Logic for recording and mixing. A larger screen is certainly a plus for workflow. Apparently the recent MacBook keyboard is the Ragnarok of laptops which is why I'm skeptical about buying certified refurbished. However, the loud fans in the recently released 16" makes me doubtful about live recording in the same room. And to top off my indecision, is it worth it to wait for Intel's 10th gen processor for MacBooks coming out next year? Plz help. [link] [comments]  |
| $200-$400 Laptop for Commuting and Job Hunting after Work Posted: 16 Dec 2019 06:36 PM PST **Total budget and country of purchase:** Would prefer to keep it between $200 and $400, US. Will be almost entirely used for job applications once I get done at work **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 specs for the money. Don't care about battery life as I'll only be using it for an hour or two a day. **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Would prefer a lighter more portable laptop as I will be using it for my commute **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. **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** No gaming on this bad boy. I got a tower at home for that. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Keyboard: Don't care, I bring my own Keyboard to work so I'll just use that. Build quality: It'd be nice to have something solid, I'm really looking for something that can take a beating during my commute and not poop out on me after a few months. (It'll be shoved in a gym bag, which gets shoved in a locker after an hour train ride and a 30 minute walk through Chicago). Touch-screen: If it comes with one, great, but if I can get better specs without, I'll take it without the touch screen. Finger-print reader: Same thing with the touch-screen.. Neither are a high priority. Optical Drive: Nah, the smaller the laptop the better. Input Devices: as I mentioned earlier, I will be using the mech keyboard I bring to work, but I MAY also opt to use a mouse. Given that, I'd like at 1 USB C port, and 3-4 USB 2/3 ports. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Would prefer to go Ryzen, because honestly I want to try them out, preferably Zen 2. I'd like to build a Ryzen PC in the future, and this would be a solid test run for me. As much RAM as possible, preferably 16GB. I will have upwards of 6 Chrome tabs open at once, with 2-3 word documents, and some music. Storage: SSD please, solid speed would be nice, 250 GB would be more than enough for me, I'll only really be storing word files and the OS on this laptop. Headphone jack needed for sure. IPS, 1080p for sure. Let me know if I need to adjust my expectations, I can spend more if need be, or I can lower some expectations. [link] [comments]  |
| Very mobile content creation laptop Posted: 16 Dec 2019 09:38 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: 3000$ Japan Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. battery life needs to be good, high specs, 32gbs of ram minimum. How important is weight and thinness to you? thinness isn't that important but lower weight is good. I've been carrying a 6kg laptop for 3 years so anything will do I'm sure. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 inch or more Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. after effects, Adobe premiere, csgo, fl studio If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? csgo 200 fps minimum 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, build quality needs to be high, good keyboard il be typing a lot. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Something that won't thermal throttle or won't do it much. Thank you for your time guys. I have to go get this laptop tomorrow if my broken one isn't fixed. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

I want to know which one I should buy because I don't know much about computers or laptops. I've done a little research but I figured reddit PC users would already have this knowledge. Basically, I just want to know if there's a big difference performance wise. Laptop 1 (Acer Aspire 5 Slim) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RF1XD36/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ybT9DbPCGCNX9¿ Laptop 2 (ASUS TUF Gaming FX505) https://store.asus.com/us/item/201912AM100000001/ASUS+TUF+Gaming+Laptop,+15.6"+Full+HD,+AMD+Ryzen+5+3550H,+RX560X,+8GB+DDR4,+256GB+PCIe+SSD,+Gigabit+WiFi+-+FX505DY-WH51?gclid=Cj0KCQiA89zvBRDoARIsAOIePbBNbRCBGANIwVqv_gm2q4nfBcj-OUF-MxqusAjTEhqIzCksb4WNL6gaAjMDEALw_wcB I'm open to other suggestions for laptops as well [link] [comments]  |
