| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:02 PM PST I found dell latitudes that are referbished with an 7th gen i7, 265gb ssd and 16gb of ram. I think Im favoring them because so many people have them for sale upgraded to better specs. there's also some older model with even better hardware. I'm worried an i5 wont be powerful enough because I will using ableton with lots a plugins so im pretty set on an i7 6th to 8th gen. I have around 500-600 dollars to spend because I need to buy an interface and I have a novation mk2 on the way. The most important thing I want is a cpu that will never crash when running multiple plugins, Mid size high def screen 1440p would be a plus. and a good size ssd. I can always upgrade the ram cheap and ssd if i have to and i know there's some laptops that can hold an extra hdd. That would be nice but I can always use a portable hdd to store files. If there's a payment plan site then I could get something around 900. I have to get a laptop before I can do anything and only really know amazon and ebay to shop from for upgraded laptops considered refurbished. Thank if you read and want to help. [link] [comments]  |

| [1000€ PL] General purpose lightweight 13.3" or 14" laptop. Posted: 30 Dec 2019 03:37 AM PST
I was thinking of getting the new Microsoft Surface Laptop 3. It looks very plain and simple, though I think it might be a bit over budget and there might be something better for lower price. I don't neccesarly need an overkill, since I'll be using it only 2 times a week on average as I work on my PC regularly. I'm highly grateful for any advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for the perfect 13 inch buy. Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:47 PM PST Hey everyone! So I recently made a post on this sub - and the quality of answers have been really great! A big thank you to everyone who replied. However - I haven't been able to make a buying decision based on that. I've searched different platforms but there doesn't exist a perfect combination - which is no surprise, but a disappointment still. I wish to find a laptop that balances out on everything - but given I'm willing to pour thousands of dollars on something - it better be worth it. Here are some things I'm looking for in a laptop: i7 or i9 processor, NVMe M.2 SSD, DDR4 or DDR5 RAM (highest end of frequency), dedicated graphics (not too big on that), must be 13 inches, lightweight, metallic, and a decent battery capacity (figured with i7 or i9 should be more than the standard ones). Is there any laptop out there which comes with this combination? Money is not a problem. I understand people in this community give their time to answer questions to help other people - so a big thank you there. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 10:47 PM PST Please don't get mad if I did any of this wrong. I filled out the survey thing, it's toward the bottom. I have a 2013 MacBook that I'm pretty sure is on its way out. I need to be as frugal as possible, and I'm pretty sure that means replacing it with a different brand... yes? Probably? I've been using Mac since around 2008, and am extremely overwhelmed trying to narrow down PC brands, models, etc. I want to run Lightroom and Photoshop and have room for lots of large photo and video files. I also use iMovie for our family videos, and I'm unaware what other options exist. (Or can you get it for a PC??) Other than that, I use Mail, Calendar, Notes, occasionally Pages (actually prefer Word),etc. Nothing big aside from the photography stuff. I do not understand anything technical, and I feel like I'll get screwed into buying something crazy, cause I don't know what I actually need. I just want something simple that can store a bunch of big files and the aforementioned programs without being slow and on the verge of bursting into flame.

| In need of the cheapest laptop possible for digital art (Clip Studio) Posted: 30 Dec 2019 02:10 AM PST I honestly don't care about anything else other than the fact that it could run Clip Studio at a decent pace. A little lag won't kill anyone if that's the case. I just need it to be cheap and usable. The only apps I'd probably have on it are Clip Studio and Chrome, since I'm just going to use this while I'm in another country. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| Cyber Security Student Needing Replacement Laptop Posted: 29 Dec 2019 05:43 PM PST Hey, I'm looking for a replacement for my Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga S1 that recently died. It served my purposes really well, but after six years, it's given up. I'm a cyber security student that only has one semester left, so I'm looking for something that will work for my schoolwork (often requires VM use) and also any projects I take on outside of school (e.g. CTFs, programming, etc). I also use my computer to watch Netflix, browse, and play low-requirement games (not looking for a gaming laptop). I've seen a lot of recommendations for various machines (Dell Latitude 5490 looks good but I heard it gets really hot).
Summary: I am a cyber security student that needs a laptop that can handle virtual machines and basic security software. I also watch videos and play low-requirement games in my free time. Requirements:
Budget: prefer up to 800, stretch to 1000 [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for Laptop Under $1,300 Posted: 29 Dec 2019 10:59 PM PST Budget: $1300 (AUD) I don't mind if it is a 2 in 1, however, it needs to best specifications for the money, preferable screen size is 13-14 inches. The laptop must not be heavy or too large because it will be carried around all day. Windows operating system is a must. A graphics/video card is also recommended because there will be some gaming and editing on this device. I would like to have high build quality ( from a reputable brand) and an SSD. - Thank you, guys! [link] [comments]  |
| The Legion by Lenovo Y540 or Y740? Posted: 29 Dec 2019 04:18 PM PST I purchased the Y540 for 1050 total and then purchased the Y740 for 1150 after and planning to return the Y540.

Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 15 inches would be preferred but I'm open to larger screen sizes. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I'll be gaming, and some video editing. Would be nice if the laptop had an sd card but I wouldn't consider it a requirement If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** I have no specific games in mind right now So right now I am contemplating between two laptops right now. Lenovo IdeaPad L340 at 700 dollars which has a gtx1650, I5-9300h and 512gb nvme sdd storage. While the Asus TUF FX505DT at 650 dollars which has a gtx 1650, ryzen 3550h and 256gb ssd storage. Only the ideapad has more storage, a usb-c port and a faster cpu. while the Asus TUF is apparently more durable (MIL-STD-810 rating) and has a more power efficient cpu. I'm not sure on the battery life for either on general use but it it would help with my decision if I knew. Also any other laptop suggestion would be nice [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 10:10 PM PST Hello, hope you're all doing well, and thanks a ton in advance for any advice! I'm a physics student aboutto finish a Bachelor's and start either a Master's or a job (we'll see). Here goes(on mobile, so I'm doing my best but mistakes are very possible):
I know it's kind of a slight oxymoron asking for a 2-in-1/compact/light laptop WITH a GPU, but I figured I'd ask, just in case, to see what a community of better-informed-than-me people might come up with. I'm currently looking at the Lenovo Yoga 730 15.6" with GTX 1050, or the HP Spectre 15" with MX150, or the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 with MX250. I know the Spectre is inferior in terms of specs but... damn does it look good. Thanks again for getting through all that! Looking forward to seeing what pops up :) hopefully this is a reasonable set of specifications. Don't hesitate to ask for any more info or clarifications. EDIT4: I travel around my city a good amount too, so if you have ideas for somehow having a small laptop that I can easily carry around that I can hook up to and external GPU when I get home, then I'm open to that too. It just looked like an expensive option when I looked into it briefly. (Also upped the budget a bit and added colons) EDIT: I knew the stars needed a space forthe bold font... EDIT2: Maybe no spaces and new lines make the formatting happy? EDIT3: As with much of my coding experience, the answer was to try multiple tiny variations until it works when all along looking at the available info and thinking a little bit would have allowed me to do it right in the first place.

Under $600 USA
Traditional laptop, battery shouldn't matter much since it'll be plugged most of the time.
He's replacing an old heavy Asus that he didn't mind.
Windows
15-15.6 (if a good deal, 14 works too but not ideal.)
No, just browsing and MSO.

| Laptop for FL Studio, college , US, Budget: $400-600 Posted: 29 Dec 2019 02:20 PM PST I am going to be entering as a freshman in college, pursuing a music degree and I am currently using an HP Omen. Little complaints but it doesn't really fit my needs. Budget: ~$400-600, not looking to pay retail or buy new, eBay's probably my best bet or even Craigslist or something. I'm looking for a laptop that can: - Run FL Studio without issues/pauses/lag - Perform general school/business tasks (Microsoft office/alternatives,email) - Be transported easily, my Omen is very heavy in my bag and I would like something lighter and thinner. And a laptop with an illuminated keyboard is a big plus. I considered a MacBook Air (2017,2019 models) but they're pretty overpriced for offering basics things. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 04:27 PM PST I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I need your help! (Form further down) While my previous desktops have lasted forever (I nicknamed one grandad as he just kept going!) I've not had much luck with laptops - all the ones I've had in the past have slowed/died within a year. I'll be using my laptop mainly for general everyday use - internet, MS office, streaming/video media. I'm most familiar with Windows but having an iPhone am also interested in how the apple platform performs. I would like the laptop to be good value for money, lasting longer than the epic fails I've had in the past! All suggestions/advice welcome. Many thanks :) TL;DR blurb: form below Total budget and country of purchase: UK, no specific budget. *Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? * Decent specs, good value for money, won't die within a year! How important is weight and thinness to you? Not particularly important will be used around the house. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux Most familiar with windows but open to other OS. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A I can attach a monitor if I need a larger screen so no preference here. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming?

| Laptop for programming in Linux Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:11 PM PST Hi everyone, I recently started studying IT and need a Laptop that runs Linux and can compile simple code. I purchased the Lenovo Yoga C740 (~1000€), but it had issues, so i had to return it. While waiting for the company to respond i had time to rethink my decision. At first I thought having touch and pen input might be good for note taking in University, but I probably would have never used it. I spent so much money one a Laptop because I thought all the little Features were necessary when the really weren't. I am probably overcompensating, but i thought about getting a Acer Swift 1 (~350€). The 4gb ram and a Pentium N5000 are nothing to write home about, but its small, light, good build quality, has huge battery life and it should get the job done. The Question is should I: (a) spent the minimum amount on a dedicated Linux machine that cant really do anything other than really basic tasks and have to possibility to upgrade or buy a windows laptop if I need it. (b) buy something more expensive and versatile, that might last me a longer time. (maybe even dual boot Windows). I like the idea of having separate Systems, but i don't know if that's the better option. So if you were in my shoes - had a budget of up to 1000€ - what would you do, and what laptop would you get? Also do you think the Acer is too low spec?
