    A non-gaming productivity laptop with a gamer in mind.


    A non-gaming productivity laptop with a gamer in mind.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:35 PM PST

    Looking for some recommendations for laptops that are NOT used for gaming but are liked by people who appreciate the speed and quality of a well built and well thought out gaming PC. I need a separate laptop for when I am on the go for work and school. It would be used mostly for lighter data processing, excel, writing papers, research, web browsing and Netflix type streaming. Hoping to also have good battery life and good portability. In short, I'm looking for a laptop a PC gamer wouldn't be annoyed by that avoids all the silly pitfalls and inefficiencies of many pre-built PC's and laptops.

    Budget considerations would be in the $800-$1000 range. Maybe more or less if something really stands out.

    Thanks.

    Convertible for web browsing, Netflix and light CAD

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 12:05 AM PST

    Hey,

    I'm looking for a 2 in 1 for web browsing, Netflix and light CAD work.

    Total budget and country of purchase: About 800€ (but can be a little bit higher, if there is a reason for), in Austria.

    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 form factor

    How important is weight and thinness to you? N/A

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows 10

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13"-15"

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Light CAD work with ARCHICAD and AutoCAD. Other than that, just web browsing and Netflix.

    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)? Touch-screen, maybe including a pen.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Sometimes I would use it with a 4k monitor when there's more work to do.

    Maybe a Lenovo Yoga 530/S740, HP Spectre x360? Feedback is highly appreciated. (:

    Need a laptop for school

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 12:47 AM PST

    * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Within 250000 Yen, which is about US$2300, but I would prefer to keep it as low as possible. I will be purchasing this in 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.** Prefer good battery life * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Weight and thinness isn't too important to me, but I would still prefer to keep it light and thin * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows 10 (School doesn't allow any different) * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 13-16 inches * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** Firefox, Discord, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and potentially some CS:GO and Minecraft. * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** I will most likely play CS:GO and Minecraft when I do game. Probably low settings and above 30 fps (I already have a gaming machine so this will mostly be for school) * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** Some specific requirements would be a good keyboard, reliable build quality, good input devices, and ports (Ethernet, a few USB ports, HDMI, maybe USB type c but this isn't a requirement) * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I am a student who will be using this for many hours per day for school. Currently I'm looking at the Dell xps 13 or 15, and the Lenovo X1 Carbon or X1 Extreme. Thanks!

    Recommendation for student use laptop or Chromebook

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 03:39 AM PST

    Hello!

    I was hoping for some insight into what to purchase for a laptop (or Chromebook) which I will be using primarily for school. I have multiple eBooks, tests/homework to be completed online and an online course.

    I am interested in the "convertible" type laptops which can be used as a tablet or keyboard. I have seen some where the keyboard detaches completely which is nice. I am not opposed to it not being detachable, but am wondering how much of an issue damage to a keyboard is.

    I have had a Chromebook in the past which worked very well for me. I do most of my documents through google docs so I am not sure if having anything more than that would be overkill.

    I have a budget of appx $500

    side note, I would not be angry at anything that is capable of playing the Sims (guilty pleasure and it's been so long!)

    Thank you for your help

    [AUS]Is an Asus ROG FX505DT-AL043T good?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:43 PM PST

    I'm getting my sister a laptop, primarily for school but other things as well, and i wanted to know if thats a decent laptop for longevity and battery life. she has been known to drop things, but also managed to make an iphone 6 last 2 years without so much as a crack with no screen protector so...i guess that puts her above average, but it breaking in the middle of an important school project would be catastrophic because replacing it instantly is not in the budget.

    The one i plan to get is 1200 AUD, and another must is that it can be bought physically, not online.

    Apparently i have a few days to make the final decision instead of today like id planned on, so if theres a better idea, i am open to it.

    also follow up, the gtx 1650 it comes with, how does that stack up to the gtx 1060 i have? is it better or does it being a laptop card take away any gain it would have.

    Should I upgrade from a Nvidia 730m to a Vega 8 laptop? Any suggestions?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 03:24 AM PST

    My budget is under £400. I don't spend more than that on a laptop because i travel a lot and i have to consider damage and theft. Also, don't see any point in having less than 8gb of ram. 4gb just doesn't cut it. It will be used for some last gen gaming at decent framerates (res doesn't matter) and music/video production. Minimum screen size 14 inches. Oh and it needs to weigh less than 2kg aswell, the lower the better.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: £400, living in UK

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Don't need bells and whistles, will be plugged in most of the time.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Very, it will be for travelling, less than 2kg, preferably less than 1.5

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows or no OS, can install my own.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Minimum 14", screen size affects weight massively.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Yes, Premiere, Ableton, last gen games like CSGO, TF2, fortnite need to be able to run at 60fps. Resolution and detail doesn't matter.

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

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Don't need any of that.

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

    Thanks in advance.

    A cheap ThinkPad for a Hackintosh?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 01:55 AM PST

    Hi,

    I wanted to find a laptop on a budget, specifically a ThinkPad, because of their good compatibility with macOS. So anyway, I was looking for a laptop with an IPS display, preferably 1080p. No discrete graphics (because it doesn't work in macOS anyway), so just intel integrated graphics. A dual core, maybe quad core cpu. And it's important for me for it to be portable, in the sense that it should be relatively thin and not too heavy. And I only have like 250$ (300$ top in case there's a really good deal) to spend. It doesn't need to be powerful, just to run an IDE properly, and some browsing.

    So what ThinkPad should I choose? Or maybe there is some other laptop that has the aforementioned specs and also has decent hackintosh support. But ThinkPad would be nice, because I also want to run Linux, and I'm not sure there are a lot of laptops with good both Linux and macOS compatibility other thank Thinkpad (at least as far as I'm aware).

    thanks in advance :)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:14 PM PST

    I'm as business student in the US with a budget of up to $700. I have been looking at 14" laptops for school. Don't really play many games (Maybe some league). Mostly focused on build quality and bang for the buck. I have been looking at the Thinkpad E495 but would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

    Hello Aussie redditors,

    I'm semi IT literate, but get overwhelmed by all the options. Looking for a new lappy to play with Netflix, Microsoft office use, web browsing, would be nice to use for drawing (Microsoft ink).

    Why shouldn't I buy this one? Is there better out there? Had a feel of one at JB this arvo, and seems quite good.

    My must haves: - 13" - ultrabook & 2 in 1 - $1500 aud ish - at least 1 USB type A

    Buy from a brick-and-mortar store (like bestbuy) or online at amazon?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 12:11 AM PST

    I was considering buying a NEW laptop for personal use. Was considering buying online from Amazon as I think prices for some models may be lower on amazon (true?), but Returns can be an issue if one doesn't like the laptop.

    • can one return at amazon without any penalty/fee after trying out? shipping costs?

    • difference between HP Envy series and Pavilion?

    • How come these 2 laptops have same configuration (except color) but huge difference in price?

    Ultrabook to replace Zenbook UX330UA, under $1000 USD, 13-14"

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 08:09 PM PST

    Since mid 2017 I've been using a wonderful Asus Zenbook UX330UA, but my car was broken into and it was stolen tonight. The battery was pretty much gone anyway....

    So I'm looking for something similar but a bit more powerful and updated in whatever ways that the tech has advanced in the last couple years. I do a lot of reading and writing on my laptops.

    I like Zenbooks because they're affordable and in my experience have been durable, but I'm open to other options, even a 2-in-1. Is there anything that really stands out?

    I'm heavily considering getting a new laptop for daily and work purposes, with gaming performance in mind.

    I'm in Indonesia, so the specs/hardware of these laptops available here may slightly vary from what you folks in the States have. In terms of price, they all sit at around 735 USD, varying only with a 10 dollar range.

    Legion Y530:

    • Processor: Intel i5-8300H (2.3 - 4GHz)

    • GPU: GTX 1050 4GB

    • Storage: 512GB SSD

    • RAM: 8GB DDR4

    • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5-3550H (2.1 - 3.7GHz)

    • GPU: GTX 1050 3GB

    • Storage: 1TB HDD

    • RAM: 8GB DDR4

    Pavilion Gaming 15:

    EMMC or SSD? For Students doing google office/drive work and browsing

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:03 PM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: £250 UK

    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 spec for the money.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Very much.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Prefer Chrome OS as it's supposedly faster.

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Preferably 11-12 for portability and weight, going into stores to try out today.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Just University office/google drive work.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? To plug into my bigger monitor if possible.

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

    Hi there. Could I have some help? I am a student with a tight budget. Is the extra money worth an SSD in my case?

    This https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7883811

    or https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2250827

    I could also find a 64gb chromebook for around £220 or so too. Or maybe I'm thinking of the 14inch versions. The price bracket seems competitive.

    I was hoping to get a cheap chromebook and be happy with how fast chromebooks supposedly are, and I think I would prefer the lighter and smaller 11-12 inch chromebooks because of portability.

    p.s. I forgot about connecting to my University's wifi. I'm sure I'll be get the wifi password and stuff if I ask the tech peeps at the office. But I'll also be at my own home too, of which I love my broadband. Always reliable and fast. lol sorry

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a lightweight laptop within my budget of ~$1300CAD($1000USD) with light gaming capabilities for when I go to uni later this year! Canada

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:31 PM PST

    • Total budget and country of purchase: ALL IN (taxes and shipping) ~$1500 CAD, so listed price should be at or below ~1300 CAD, or ~$1000 USD. Purchasing from Canada, so I don't get all of your fancy american sales :c .

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Don't care about 2 in 1, battery life is pretty important to me, and specs are very important (note: by this I don't mean that I want the maximum possible specs for my price point. It is very important, however, that I have the specs typically necessary for everything to run smoothly).

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? I'm looking for something that I can easily carry around, so a (reasonably) light and thin laptop is a necessity.

    • 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. I want to leave my options open in terms of software that I can run, as I'm not 100% sure on what exact field I'll be studying in uni. I'd like to be able to run CAD software reliably. Most of the programs I'm looking into for uni have a focus on coding so that'll be something I'll be doing a lot, but compilers and the like are easy enough to run regardless afaik. A good keyboard is fairly important for me as well, as such. Light gaming is important, so I'd very much prefer to have a dedicated graphics card.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I'll mostly be playing fairly easy to run games (league, cs:go), as well as other various games I find interesting on Steam (not expecting to play AAA games of any kind). I understand this is a bit vague, so for example I've been playing Disco Elysium, Temtem, and Sekiro recently. I'd expect to be able to smoothly play games of a similar "level" as DE/Temtem for the next few years in terms of processing requirements. Sekiro and other AAA games of the sort, I'd be ok to not be able to run smoothly, but hey, if I can without making sacrifices elsewhere, that would be neat. so I've been thinking I'll have no problem using a laptop with a 1050ti (or the amd equivalent) for the next 3 or 4 years. I'm fine with 60fps at medium, so unless there's any reason that I haven't yet thought of, I don't really have any reason to go any further than a 1050ti.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good build quality is a must, and with that I'm expecting a reasonably solid keyboard. All/most metal (no plastic) is what I'm looking for, and bonus points if it looks premium. 16 gigs of ram is necessary, half a tb of ssd storage would be ideal but not a necessity.

    So yeah, the main criteria that I'm looking for in a laptop from most to least important (although they are all of significant importance) is:

    1. Light gaming capabilities and able to run smoothly through moderate load

    2. The body should be lightweight, thin and well built

    3. Good battery life

    4. Good keyboard

    I've been researching laptops for a few days, and I believe I'm getting close to a decision, just wanted to if y'all had any advice. Right now the front runner for me is the MSI PS63 Modern (Price is in CAD btw), which seems to have everything I'm looking for in a laptop. If anyone has any personal opinions on the ps63, I'd be happy to hear it, as well as any laptops similar to the ps63. Thanks in advance for the help fellas!

    Seeking processing power and portability

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 08:27 PM PST

    Hello,

    I am seeking a laptop with basically the most processing power possible. I also plan to travel quite a bit in the near future so size factor and weight also play an important role. I don't really want a dedicated graphics card. Also, the more ram the better of course. I will be using it mostly to do music production and very basic online college stuff. Right now im using a i5-7400 and 24gbs of Ram. I bought a stick to go from 8 to 24 and the difference is huge for me, so 8 would only be good if I can easily upgrade but I would really prefer more. I would also seriously enjoy a processor faster than a i5-7400, I nearly push this to the limit in a lot of tracks im making.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: $1000 way max. Prefferably much 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. wouldnt know why 2 in 1 is important.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you? it is, but performance too.
    • 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. Ableton, Reaper, word
    • 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
