    Brother’s looking for a university laptop that he can use for Drawing and CAD

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 01:28 AM PST

    As above posting for the my brother, he's a got a budget around 2-3 thousand nzd (1500-2000usd).

    He's doing industrial design so wants something he can draw on, have adobe photoshop etc capabilities but also to do CAD so that's solid works, autocad.

    The last one he came to me was a surface laptop pro but I wasn't sure that the shared memory card would have enough juice to do what he wanted it to.

    He's also really keen on a sleek slim design as he doesn't like the bulky gaming laptops which are more my style.

    Thanks for the help to anyone that posts, chur

    Software dev on the go (1500€ max)

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:41 AM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

      I'm located in Europe and can put away up to 1500€.

    • 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 would definitely prefer best performance to a good battery life.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      That's the least important factor to me.

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

      Since I'm a software dev, I'll need a dual boot setup: Mint + Windows

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

      I'm fine with anything thats not smaller than 15'.

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

      I'll be using the laptop mainly as a work station (think BE, FE and mobile dev) and occasionally browse the internet / watch a movie.

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

      Games might be played once in a while (think KTANE, Overcooked, Witcher 3), so I'm not looking for something with a beefy GPU. 2/4GB will be more than fine. 30-60fps on medium settings would be perfect.

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

      A good keyboard is a must, since ill be spending 90%+ of my time typing. Matte screen would be the best. Touch screen is a solid no.

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

      I need a laptop to handle my work tasks (BE, FE and mobile dev) when I'm out of office. I'm looking for the best performance possible for that budget - i7 6/8c (no Ryzen, since its PITA for the emulator in Android Studio) , 16/32GB RAM, and 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD (HDD could be half a gigabyte too). It will most likely be used for web browsing and movies once in a month or so. Games might be played a couple of times per year, usually around the holidays. I spent an hour last night looking for various options and the best I found was a Legion Y540, but I'm not sure I need a gaming laptop. Any suggestions are welcomed, since I'm really out of touch with the laptop market.

    Dell XPS 7590 15" vs Surface Laptop 3 15"

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 06:31 PM PST

    I am looking to get a laptop to replace both my 2017 MacBook - something with a bigger screen, and my. desktop PC. I am trying to learn programming and wanted more screen real estate than my MacBook as well as able to run visual studio.

    I initially was settled on a Dell XPS 15" 7590 w/ dedicated graphics and FHD screen, but doing some more research people seem to say the 4k screen is SO much better for coding. I couldn't find a 4k XPS to look at in person, but I found a 15" SL3 vs 13" XPS w/ FHD. The SL3's screen is so much better so I think the 15" FHD wouldn't work for me.

    The OLED screen kinda scares me vs the IPS panel on the surface. I've heard of weird OLED problems. I tried both keyboards and I like them both.

    So what do you guys think for coding.. 15" SL3 vs XPS 15 w/ UHD?? Prices seem pretty similar.

    I will be using this at coffee shops / library lots as well as connecting to an external display at home. I am just learning to code so I'm not doing anything intensive..... yet.

    Programming ultra slim / light laptop (FR - 1.2k€)

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 01:41 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    I'd like to keep it under 1.2k€, buying anywhere from Western Europe (delivered in France)

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

    2 in 1. Then what is a good battery life.. above 4-5 hours of uptime without charging at least would be sweet.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Weight is the key point, this is a laptop I want to travel a lot with. ~2-2.5 pounds / 1.2-1.3kg max would be ideal.

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

    Windows, however the laptop can come with no OS pre-installed (I actually prefer it that way, since it's cutting the price down)

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

    14" - 15'6" (min/max) => 1080p or better resolution.

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

    Nope, the laptop will be dedicated mainly to programming & few extra stuffs such as watching videos/movies, but no GPU intensive activity. (I don't think I need a dedicated GPU).

    Multiple instances of Visual Studio instead, along with multiple browser tabs opened etc (Heavy RAM/CPU usage however, multi-threaded.) I'd need 16GB of RAM & Quad Core at least.

    Hard Disk performances will also matter for I/O operations. (M2 SSD ideally with 512-1To)

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

    I won't be with this laptop.

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

    As mentionned before, this laptop will be mainly used for programming, therefore keyboard quality and feel is important.

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

    Probably asking for a lot, not sure something such as what I'm asking exists, the lighter & thinner while being able to respect what I'm wishing for, the better.

    If waiting for Ryzen 4 powered laptop is better, willing to wait I'm in no rush.

    Thanks for any input/advice.

    Large (21+ inch) laptop (or portable screen), Belgium, no budget

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 02:55 AM PST

    For an art performance I'm looking for a large (21 inch or more) portable screen, which can loop a 1080p movie. This screen will be carried by a person in her arms for hours, so the lighter the better.

    I was exploring the possibility of just carrying a 2 in 1 laptop, however couldn't find any big enough. Are there such big laptops?


    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    Belgium, and no real budget, but the lower the better since it only needs to loop a video it shouldn't require too much power.

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

    Must be 2 in 1 so it can look like just a portable screen. More battery life is better. It's meant to only loop a video while being carried, that's it.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    The lighter the better, since it has to be carried for hours.

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

    Any OS is fine.

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

    At least 21 inch, biggest is good too.

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

    None, just playing 1080p video. It would be nice if it could handle 4K too, but not necessary.

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

    N/A

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

    None

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

    The idea is that an artist will carry this as a portable screen on her body. The screen will loop a video. The performance will take several hours.

    Do I need 32GB RAM?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 07:27 AM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: -$1500 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. Best specs for the money, weight will be considered but not the highest priority.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not the highest priority.

    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

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Heavy Adobe Premiere Pro and Lightroom/Photoshop user. 4k video editing will occur.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No gaming.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Since mouse will be primary input device, no major concerns about trackpad. A more mechanical feeling keyboard would be nice but not required. Touchscreen not a requirement.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I am looking for the most power in terms of a graphics card and RAM I can get in this budget, but I am also concerned about being able to switch out hard drives or adding RAM in the future. My current tower computer has lasted me 10 years, and I am looking for a true desktop replacement, and part of that is being able to exchange hard drives when they eventually fail. Therefore, a laptop where this is easier would be preferred. For 4k video editing, I am assuming I'll need 32 GB RAM, but just verifying that this is the case.

    Recently won a bid war for a dell XPS i7-6700 hq 32g ram with dual storage(NVME+SSD) 512gb+900gb

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 07:08 PM PST

    I paid $760 with shipping and tax it came to $836. I wanted to know from the tech savvy crowd is this a good buy? The laptop only had 20 minutes left so I didn't have much time to fully research the model. I was looking for a laptop to study Java and eventually run vm's. Is this machine capable for such things? Any cons about this laptop?

    Fx505DD or Fx505DY

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 10:09 PM PST

    Hi There, I have been planning to buy a Tuf Fx505 Gaming Laptop and since I am coming from an ultrabook with discrete graphics, i do not really mind if this is "entry level" in terms of performance (and i also do not have the budget for 1650 and above.)

    While going through the cheaper variants of the Fx505, i was initially going for the Fx505dd:

    Fx505dd- Ryzen 5 3550H-8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 3gb - 512gb SSD

    which has the Gtx1050 3gb variant as i've read that the Fx505dy:

    Fx505dy- Ryzen 5 3550H-8GB Memory - AMD RX560x - 512gb SSD

    has a slower Rx560x (14cu version) compared to the stock Rx560x found in other laptops. However, I have found videos on YT which suggest that gaming performance on the Fx505dy are generally better and that the Fx505dd (could be Max-Q?) runs on higher temps (90C). Which variant would you recommend? Thanks :)

    OPEN TO ANY AND ALL HELP OR ADVICE

    • Total budget and country of purchase: -No more than $450 USD , the United States-

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. -Would rather just a regularly flipped laptop, not a fan of the 2 in 1 stuff. Battery is important, as far as how much my performance is impacted while I'm not plugged into an outlet I guess?-

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? -Not important.-

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? -Not going to.-

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? -I was hoping for a intel core i7, at the least 8th generation and then the corresponding RAM with that? Honestly have no clue what I'm talking about I just figured, based of off the last few hours I've been looking, that's the best? Don't understand what GHz is either. -

    • This is just a computer, that will help get me by, until I finish saving up to build my own set up. It doesn't need to be fancy, just run a few programs like the ones I mentioned above and not majorly freeze or so on.

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a 2 in 1 laptop under $500 CAD for my girlfriend. She won't be using it for much, just some art (light Photoshop and other programs) and very light gaming (Minecraft, Stardew, etc). If this is too little money please feel free to suggest anything around that price point but I'd really prefer under $500. In the Vancouver area if that means anything. Thanks :)

    Notebook with RTX 2060 or GTX 1070 Max Q?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 01:20 PM PST

    I am interested in the MSI GS65 but I am not sure witch one of the graphic cards should I chose?

    In benchmarks the 1070 Max Q outperformed the RTX but all Benchmarks I see are round about 10-15 months old. So did the situation changes is the RTX card now better, new drivers or something?

    In my country the GS65 with 1070 sells for 1450 euros and the RTX 2060 version for 1499 euros, basically the same.

    Best Engineering Laptop maybe 2 in 1?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 05:55 PM PST

    **Total budget and country of purchase:**

    $1000-$1600 but that's flexible 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 want the best specs for the money but also would prefer a 2 in 1 for notes etc. Hoping for i7 and not integrated graphics if that's possible.

    **How important is weight and thinness to you?**

    not at all

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

    Windows

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

    13 or bigger

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

    CAD like Solidworks, MATLAB data stuff, some pretty heavy python simulations.

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

    don't really care about gaming on it

    **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 a 4k panel if possible I saw some that looked like they had it but strong CPU / graphics is more important

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

    I've been looking at the XPS series, the yoga series and the Spectre 360 but I can't really pick between them and I'm worried there's something better. I basically want this to last me for at least the next 5 years until I replace it. Thanks

    Legion Y7000 and Y740 with a $200 price difference between them, which to choose?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 05:44 PM PST

    I pretty much just want a decent laptop with enough grunt to edit video and audio on Premier, do some music production and play some gaming. Have budgeted around AUD$2000.

    They're both packing:

    9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750HF (6C / 12T, 2.6 / 4.5GHz, 12MB)

    Memory: 2x 8GB DIMM DDR4-2666

    They both have 1TB storage.

    The only real difference is in the graphics card:

    The Y7000 has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5, whereas the Y740 has the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6

    The Y7000 is $2058 and the Y740 is $2229.

    The Y740 is on sale, at a reduction of around 800$ - but is it worth me paying the $200 extra for it?

    Laptop for programming and light editing/gaming with a great display, keyboard and trackpad

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 05:38 PM PST

    It will mainly be used for programming and notes with some light gaming/editing on the side. I currently have a macbook, but since i got a windows desktop at home, i would like to keep the same ui, terminal commands and keyboard layout/shortcuts across my devices.

    • Total budget and country of purchase:

    1500 Euros, though preferably less.

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

    Somewhat stylish. Thin bezels and decent battery life.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Thinness isnt too important. Should be pretty lightweight tho.

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

    Windows/Linux

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

    13-14

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

    Needs to do some light gaming and editing. I do some personal video projects that i would like to render on the go. rendering speed isnt important, i just want to be able to do the actual editing in Premiere Pro without crazy lag.

    Same with gaming. Want to play some light games once in a while.

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

    hearthstone, LoL, WoW. low settings 30 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)?

    I study Data Science and therefore use a lot of time in front of my laptop for university, work and personal projects, so the most important aspect will be the screen, keyboard and trackpad. I dont want to go down on quality in these categories. I heard OLED displays are the new talk of the town.

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

    So far i have looked at the XPS 13, X1 Carbon and HP Spectre 360x. They all seem like good options, but its hard to say anything about display, keyboard and trackpad without actually having it. They also seem quite expensive for my requirements, but that may just be my lack of knowledge on laptop prices. The matebook has been on the radar as well.

    Help finding an ultralight laptop in the US @ ~$3k Max

    Posted: 26 Jan 2020 10:06 AM PST

    Hey all, I'm hoping to find a laptop for a friend who's putting a lot of emphasis towards it being lightweight for constant travel, but also has full-size ports as they're not about that dongle-life. They're coming from an imported Panasonic J10 and loved it's light weight (2.2lbs) and were okay with its thickness as long as it was able to house full-sized USB Type A ports and HDMI ports. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Between $2,000 to $3,000

    * **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, but not opposed to a 2-in-1

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Weight is the #1 priority, as close to 2lbs as possible. But thickness doesn't matter.

    * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Must be 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.** Mostly for Internet/Office productivity apps with some photo editing via Photoshop CC

    * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** N/A no gaming

    * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Most important besides being lightweight, are a full-size USB 3 port (type A), full-size HDMI port, and webcam if at all possible.

    * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** They're not a fan of the XPS 13 because it's too heavy and USB Type C only.

    Thanks everyone.
