    Lenovo Ideapad L340 - Yay or Nay?

    Lenovo Ideapad L340 - Yay or Nay?


    Lenovo Ideapad L340 - Yay or Nay?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 03:36 AM PST

    After doing some research I decided to go with this laptop, however I continued to research after purchase and am thinking about cancelling my order if given a compelling enough reason to do so. I'm looking for a productivity/business laptop that has a mid-tier level of gaming juice aswell. I don't want my laptop to scream that I game as I'll be taking it into meetings in the future, yet I'd love to be able to game in my free time.

    What I don't like about it is the single channel 8gb ram aswell as the smaller end of the spectrum 512 SSD, everything else seems to be a great value for the price. Let me know your thoughts!

    Laptop for light ethical hacking and modern gaming

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:05 AM PST

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** My budget is <$2000 USD tops to be bought either in USA or Japan within the next few months. * **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 a laptop with a good battery life, available linux drivers, and a decent dedicated graphics card. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I'm pretty indifferent but would prefer <5lbs. I don't want to haul around a brick or anything. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** I'll probably test out a few different Linux distributions before settling on one but it'll probably be an Ubuntu machine. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** I'd prefer bigger if it's within 14-17 inches. * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I'll mainly be using this box for gaming, running some VMS, and heavy networking usage most likely at times. * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** Default settings of modern games should look good, which I think I'll be happy with a my budget price point. * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Some desired features would be: black or muted chassis (not flashy), reliable components under stressed resource consumption so they don't die due to heat, good tactile feel on a backlit keyboard and trackpad because I've had to deal with some shitty feeling ones, and definitely an ethernet port. As a bonus, if it has a TPM module that would be cool. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I haven't had my own computer for like 5 years now since I've just been using company computers after closing my IT business. I'm about to move to Japan and I miss having my own machine that wasn't a scavenged box. I do web and network hacking stuff professionally but I don't really understand much about the hardware side of things since they're basically Legos to me. If it's more economical to buy it from Japan then I'm totally going to do that though. Thank you for helping me make a choice!

    Dell XPS 15 vs. Lenovo Yoga C940 15'' vs. Razer Blade 15 2019 for long-lasting touch screen allround laptop

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:22 PM PST

    Hi guys! I need help deciding between these three.

    1. Dell XPS 15 7590: i7-9750H | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | GTX 1650 | UHD IPS touch display | 2100 USD
    2. Lenovo Yoga C940: i7-9750H | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | GTX 1650 | FHD IPS touch display | 2000 USD
    3. Razer Blade 15 2019: i7-9750H | 32GB RAM | 2TB SSD | RTX 2080 Max-Q | UHD OLED touch display | 3000 USD

    The RB15 would be second hand, the previous owner used it for ~3 months and upgraded the RAM and storage. Original price + upgrades comes to about 4550 USD. It being used also means no gambling on Razers QC.

    What I use my laptop for:

    • occasional CAD work (for event locations, not professionally yet) - according to Vectorworks' hardware recommendations anything with at least 4GB VRAM should be fine
    • occasional gaming (nothing too demanding usually, The Witcher 3 @ 60 fps on medium settings, at most)
    • Microsoft Office, some Photoshop
    • media consumption

    I do realize that the Razer Blade is pretty overkill, it is also the only touch screen laptop with a seriously good graphics card. (Which should make it more future proof, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.) The GTX 1650 would probably suffice for what I do, but I'm worried it won't hold up for as long. I want to be able to use this laptop for at least 5 years without it feeling really old.

    Ideally I would aim for a GTX 1660 / RTX 2060 or 2070 at most but those only get put in mid tier gaming laptops with no touch screen options (I'd really like to know why Razer offers the 60 Hz (non-gamer) touch display only in combination with the highest high-end gaming graphics card... that just makes no sense to me).

    So my perfect laptop doesn't exist and I can either go with lower specs that are near/at the limit of my minimal requirements and maybe add an eGPU in a couple years, OR spend quite a bit more for a laptop that I might not even use to it's full capabilities all that much but which will hopefully last me longer.

    What would you do? What's your opinion on either of these laptops in terms of longevity? Which one fits my use case best?

    Thanks in advance!

    Looking for a long lasting laptop mostly for gaming

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 04:03 AM PST

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Maximum 800€, Portugal

    * **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.** Mostly a good battery life (especially long term) and best specs for the money

    * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Weight and thinness aren't a big deal tbh

    * **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" or above

    * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I play League of Legends (which isn't extremely heavy), but mostly FPS games, which is why I wanted sth that could withstand heavier games. I still haven't settled on a video editor, but it'd be great if it could handle editing without having to constantly shut down everything else

    * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** I don't play League so much anymore, but I do play Overwatch, TF2 and ocasionally CS:GO. My preferred settings are 60 fps, while still being able to maintain pretty decent graphics

    Looking for a budget 2-in-1 for uni, $500USD ($800AUD), Australia

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:29 AM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: $800AUD so ~$500USD & Australia.

    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 say a combination of form factor and battery life, I'll be almost entirely word processing and web surfing so I don't need a beefy laptop.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Obviously the lighter the better (especially as I'll be commuting 3 hours each day to uni) but I would say not overly important.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Have used all but Linux in the past so windows/mac/chrome os would be my preference although I'm sure I could adapt if necessary (and I'm sure I won't have a Mac OS available to me in my price range)

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. No too large, preferably <14".

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No, I have a gaming/video-editing PC at home. I will be using Chrome (Google Docs, YouTube, online papers), a note taking software (probably Word), and Report Publishing software, all quite light programs.

    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)? No (aside from obviously a touchscreen as it's a 2 in 1)

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I have a powerful PC at home so I'm not worried about performance in the slightest (as long as the laptop won't freeze if it has like fifteen tabs open in chrome and a word document open at max). Portability is much more important. Most importantly, I'm buying this laptop as a replacement to my trusty MacBook Pro 2013 which is finally beginning to fail me after seven years of continuous use and abuse. After spending so much on my PC at home I just can't justify buying another MacBook (around $1500 in Australia). Because of ridiculous stigmas in my faculty I wouldn't feel comfortable buying a different brand of regular laptop (arts kids are the worst) but a 2-in-1 would be perfect. Thanks very much.

    [US] Gaming and Coding

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:28 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: US - $2000 or 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. Best specs for the money

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not terribly but I'd prefer if it wasn't a huge brick.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Preferably 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. Coding running VMs and Docker containers. Gaming in my free time.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Basically I just need to play Path of Exile. Any other types of games I play I lower the settings anyway to push as many frames per second as I can get.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I definitely want at least a 120hz panel or 144hz.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. My two biggest specs are definitely the monitor refresh rate and memory. I could definitely go for 16GB of RAM, but if possible I would like 24GB or 32GB. The problem I'm running into is as I up the memory I start only finding configurations with much higher than needed GPUs which also drives up the price.

    1800$ United States

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:17 PM PST

    Anything less than 1800$ and I am in the United States

    I am looking for good battery life, but also want good enough specs to run decently high quality video games

    Weight and thinness aren't an enormous concern of mine

    Windows or Chrome preferably

    Greater than 13 inches, the bigger the better

    Gaming, hopefully grand theft auto online and other games such as rust

    I am gaming and I'm looking for a good enough pc to run Minecraft with shaders and stuff like that at a decent enough FPS

    Touch screen would be a great feature

    Mainly looking for a good gaming pc for college, but one with a good enough battery life to work in the college atmosphere

    [USA] Vintage laptop to daily for notes/writing, >13" screen, <300 USD

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 06:07 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: <300 USD, but obviously as cheap as possible. 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 enough battery life to not die within 2-4 hours.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? I do not care

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Preferably windows, dos or early mac os.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Larger than 13"

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Text editor, maybe some sort of music program.

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

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good keyboard, do not need a trackpad if its a non graphical os, maybe a built in floppy or networking?

    • I'm just looking for a nice little vintage laptop to take notes on, and be dedicated towards that. I find myself often distracted when I try to work on things, as I often sidetrack on somewhere like reddit or twitter. I feel that if I pick up a nice vintage computer, not only will I generally have a better typing experience (older laptops have hella good keyboards), it will prevent me from distracting myself. Obviously there is the just kinda cool to me factor of dailying a computer like this as well.

    2 in 1 with NVidia graphics/dedicated graphics recommendations?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 08:14 PM PST

    Hey all. So, I bought a Asus Zenbook Flip last year (UX461FN) and I bloody loved it. Unfortunately for me though, it had some issues with a faulty motherboard and the store gave me a credit. Apparently this model has been discontinued and I can't get another one and I'm devastated. It was PERRRFECT. Dedicated graphics so I could play Sims to my heart's content, light, long battery life and I could practice drawing on Krita with the touch screen/take notes on it for DND.

    Would anyone be able to recommend something similar? I live in Australia and I am happy to pay $1700 for a new computer, but I really can't afford any more than that.

    I would consider something that is not 2 in 1 if I had too, and buy a wacom tablet. But I really would like a 2 in 1.

    TLDR: Can someone recommend a 2 in 1, about ($1700 aud) that has dedicated graphics, good screen with a pen for drawing and long battery life?

    17.3in upper midrange beast for DJing and electronic music production and performance ... and a little gaming

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 08:05 PM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: $2000 however may stretch to $2300 if that's what it takes. Australia

    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. The rest don't matter much.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not at all important. Bricks are fine.

    Which OS do you require? Windows

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. No smaller than 17.3in. I need a big screen.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Mostly Ableton Live, which is software for electronic music creation and performance. Also Serato DJ. And a little general gaming, no specific titles come to mind.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? A few FPS shooters at high spec and 60fps preferably. No benchmark games, I'm fairly casual.

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

    • Intel processor essential, pref a higher powered i7. AMD is known to cause major issues with my software.

    • Ability to plug in at least one monitor is crucial, and two is preferable (so something with a Thunderbolt port I guess?)

    • Decent keyboard with a nice feel for typing is highly desirable (I hate rubbish keyboards)

    • Two storage drives is essential, with the system drive at least 512GB

    • The more USB ports, the better. At least 4 is good

    • Backlit keys are essential

    • Low fan noise isn't a deal maker but is desirable

    • Reliable build quality also essential. This will get used at gigs with a live band, and as a DJ workstation. It will get transported around a lot, and will get a fair workout on stage.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. The closest in spec I can find to suit my needs is the Gigabyte Aorus 7 SA, which are out of stock everywhere. This machine will be lasting me at least 5 or 6 years. Also thanks for reading!! I appreciate it.

    hey, i want to buy a 2 in 1 Laptop to replace my desktop pc. Never owned a 2 in 1 or a Laptop for that matter and could do with some help.

    650 euro, germany.

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

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

    13-15". I probably want it to be bigger than 13".

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

    No.

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

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

    i want to use it mainly for web-browsing, youtube, twitch and plex. Tried to do some research and was thinking about the Lenovo Flex 14 and HP x360 Envy. The Flex 14 seems to be a little bit expensive here in germany (585 euro without the Pen) and the HP Envy seems to run hot and noisy.

    Budget Laptop for Music Production

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 08:04 PM PST

    Hey everyone! I've been looking into buying a laptop for music production and possibly some light homework. I figured I would ask for recommendations here, as I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to laptops.

    Total budget and country of purchase: $500-$1,000 /// 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. Doesn't matter to me, I'm okay with putting up with a bad battery life and whatnot👌

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight and thinness isn't important to me.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, MAC, Chrome OS, Linux: Windows and MAC are preferred, I know that they work really well with a lot of DAWS.

    Do you have a preferred screen size? N/A

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I only plan on running a DAW.

    ability to run Photoshop would be a plus as I am a photographer by hobby, but it's really no bother to me if I can't run that type of program.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I will need a headphone jack.

    finishing thoughts I don't mind something a little over budget as I would probably be able to find it used and within budget👍

    Also, this maybe a little off topic but I found a really nice Samsung computer that seems to match all the specs. However it seems really cheap for what it gives so I felt it may be a scam😬 https://jumocomputer.com/products/samsung-notebook-7-spin-15-6-2-in-1-2tb-ssd-32gb-ram-extreme-fast-intel-processor-7th-gen-core-i7-turbo-boost-to-3-50ghz-32-gb-ram-2-tb-ssd-15-6-touchscreen-win-10-pc-laptop-computer-np740u5m?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5pzK1uis5wIVTv_jBx2eTAkyEAkYAiABEgL6EfD_BwE what do you guys think?🗿

    Laptop for a college student ($700-$1000) that can run PS

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 05:35 PM PST

    • ***Total budget and country of purchase:** - $700-$1000(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.** - It does not have to be 2 in 1, touch screen isnt important to me. Good battery life would be preferred.

    • **How important is weight and thinness to you?** - 2-3 lbs would be awesome. I'm going to be carrying it on campus throughout the day so the lighter the better.

    • ***Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** - Windows, but i'm open to suggestions.

    • ***Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** - 15.5 max!

    • ***Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** - I will need it to run photoshop well and I would like to do some light gaming.

    • ***If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?**- I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I guess good enough to run games like Overwatch.

    • ***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 and touchpad is a must, a finger print reader isnt necessary but I wouldnt mind it. I prefer i7 over i5 if possible, and 4k screen res would be ideal but if not thats fine.

    • **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** - i'm currently using a 5 yr old, 17 inch, 5 lbs Lenovo thats driving me nuts! I'm not very tech savvy so any recommendations would be awesome!

    Ultra-portable with discrete graphics

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 05:29 PM PST

    So I'm looking for an ultra-portable with these features.

    • 14 inch screen (not 13.3)
    • Matte screen
    • Decent processor that can be used for coding Python, Javascript and also play most modern games on medium settings.
    • Discrete Graphics - Since it has to be an ultra-portable so I'm leaving out GTX 1050 or above. An MX150 or MX250 (or equivalent) should be good.
    • At least 8 GB RAM (and an extra slot if not already comes with 16 GB)
    • At least 256 GB SSD (and an extra slot for additional Nvme SSD)
    • Weight < 3 lbs
    • Price - < $1000

    Thanks in advance.

    Gaming and School Work

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 11:12 AM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: Preferably up to $1200 Canadian ($900 USD). Willing to pay $1500 Canadian dollars ($1,134 in USD) at max

    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

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important. While a thin and light laptop would be nice, I'd be willing to sacrifice that for good specs

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

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Between 15 and 21 inches

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Gaming, school (google drive, MS Word, note-taking apps), be able to run lots of tabs at once (I like to multitask).

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Steam games such as Halo MCC, Rainbow Six Siege, Subnautica, Cyberpunk when released. 60 fps and 4k would be nice, but I'll settle for 30 fps and HD resolution.

    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 quality and a good keyboard would be nice, but I can live without both

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. While I do want to game, I would prefer a laptop that does not look like a gaming laptop, with lots of colour, lots of sharp edges and a light-up keyboard; it would just be begging to be stolen. I'm new to the whole laptop purchase process, so I apologize if these specs are too unrealistic with the given budget.
