| I don't like Macs... Can anyone convince me why I should get a PC for music production? Posted: 13 Feb 2020 09:51 PM PST I've used Windows my whole life, I like it alright and I know where everything is and how to use it pretty fine although I'm not intuitively computer savvy. I need a new laptop for music production using Ableton Live 10 that will hopefully last me 5+ years. In the US and $3,000 is my upper limit so full spec MacBook Pro is within my budget and I know they're great for music producing but I don't want to make the switch to Mac unless if it's really the best and only option. My biggest hitch that's making me think a Mac is necessary is that it's VERY important to me to be able to unplug from my audio interface and monitors at my desk and just grab my laptop, some headphones and a midi controller and work and write stuff wherever without having to lug around an interface and all the cables and junk. I've heard that Mac can do this just fine with very little latency because of Core Audio but my problem with my old laptop was I could either use MME realtek drivers and get unusable latency when playing software instruments on my midi controller or I could use ASIO4ALL and not be able to use audio from any other apps than Ableton at once and not be able to control the volume at all (really annoying, didn't work too well) or I could unplug all my stuff from my audio interface and lug that around too. Are there any good Windows laptop sound cards that I can install (or that come with the laptop) into the laptop itself that can use ASIO for low latency? In general is there a Windows laptop (preferably a gaming laptop) that has the sound capabilities to do what Macs seem to be able to do? 15 inches is the smallest I'd go for a screen, preferably 16 or 17. I need it to be high end enough that it won't be outdated in the next 5 or so years, any extras like a good graphics card for gaming are just bonuses to me but strong CPU and at least 16 gigs of RAM and 256gb SSD for music producing projects are most important.

| Looking for a strong gaming laptop $700 Posted: 13 Feb 2020 08:43 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: 600-700 would really prefer to keep it under 700 but if something really good is just over that then I would be willing. 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. Battery life or anything else doesnt matter to much to me as it will mainly be plugged in but want best specs and storage. 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. N/A Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Gaming. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Mostly offline games like Total wars Civ Strongholds Minecraft Skyrim Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

| Whats the difference between the MSI prestige 15 and MSI PS63? Posted: 13 Feb 2020 11:22 PM PST Was looking at the two and got abit confused between the differences. Which one has better cooling? Longer battery life and performance? [link] [comments]  |
| Need help deciding if I should get the MSI GS65 Posted: 14 Feb 2020 02:29 AM PST I'm looking for a gaming laptop to use as a daily driver pretty much, because I spend a lot of time not at home, and it's becoming a chore to take the PS4 with me. My budget is around $1700, but I'm not from the USA, so when buying on Amazon or Newegg for example, the laptop has to cost $1300 because the shipping and fees cost around $400. I think I'll go with the MSI GS65 Stealth (i7 8th gen, RTX 2060, 16GB Ram) because it's thin and light (relatively) and has a decent battery (more than 4 hours of browsing the web is good for me). It also has Thunderbolt which can come in handy when docking it and using it as a desktop. (I'm fine with undervolting and potentially applying liquid metal) Is there a better laptop in this price range with such performance, thickness and weight? (Thunderbolt is a huge plus, but not a deal breaker) tl;dr: Want to get the MSI GS65 but just want to know that I'm not making a mistake before spending $1700. Thank you so much. [link] [comments]  |

| What's the cheapest laptop I can buy that supports External GPU? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 01:27 AM PST I need a light laptop for v basic use that has decent battery. No real preferences tbh, except that I'd want to connect an External GPU to it. Performance is not really an issue, I'd only play indie games and v low requirement games since I mostly game on PS4, and the indie games on PS4 are v expensive compared to steam where I live.

| Posted: 13 Feb 2020 07:46 AM PST After months of searching and comparing different laptops, I've narrowed down my choices to 3 different laptops. I haven't bought a laptop in almost a decade, just because I can't really afford to buy one regularly, so I was hoping to get guidance on which among the 3 below would be the best to spend money on. I'm choosing among the following laptops and specs: Main purpose is to replace my current machine, so I'm looking for one that can be my daily driver for the long run. Common tasks I'll do with it include my online teaching job where I usually have to run video calls on Skype, do word processing on Notepad, and browse anywhere between 6-12 tabs on Google Chrome all at the same time. And I'm also working on transitioning to become a software engineer, so I will be learning coding on it in the near future. Other than that, I use Photoshop every now and then for some light photo editing, and I play League of Legends a few times a month with my pals. I would also enjoy using it to emulate some Nintendo GBA, DS, and 3DS games if it's not too much of a stretch. Other things I value include, clear webcam, decent keyboard, and portability. I'd love to hear what people on this sub would pick as the best choice. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

Any specific requirements such as a good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? definitely reliable build quality and a good keyboard. My current laptop isn't really that strong. It can barely run games like undertale. That's how bad it is. I want to get more into pc gaming and I'm going to need a stronger laptop. All I ask is that any laptops suggested will be good to use. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2020 09:12 PM PST Hello! I've narrowed down my options to these two models. I'll be paying the same amount for either of them and they seem to have the same specs on paper as well. They both have 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD, a 2GB graphics card and a 15.6" screen. I'd really like to get one of these two because the local store has a crazy offer where they're both roughly $250 equivalent. It does come with a warranty, Office etc. Which of the two would you recommend? Thank you! Edit - Forgot to add, I'm a student and will primarily be using it for work and very light gaming (eg SWTOR). [link] [comments]  |

Ultimaltely my plan is to be able to get through all my college stuff with this laptop and maybe into my field of study after. Until I can afford another one. I'm sorry if this is a mess or doesn't make sense. Thanks so much for your time! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 13 Feb 2020 10:51 PM PST I will mainly be using this laptop for web development and learning new programming languages. I will need something that can handle multitasking. For example I will be having multiple programs open and I will be switching back and forth fast. I also want something I can watch Netflix on while I'm in bed. The issue I have is my room has absolutely bad WiFi. I have to use an Ethernet cable if I want to stream stuff reliably. So now my laptop needs an Ethernet port or can accept gigabit Ethernet adapters. I've read some laptops don't handle Ethernet well. This is where I'm stuck really. As for gaming, I was thinking it's best to have this machine be totally dedicated to work and streaming videos, movies, watching live streams and I'll get an Xbox one x for gaming. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

Looking for something that is quite versatile and reliable, that I can do a range of things on e.g. photo editing (light room) or as a long shot some gaming (not very important). Would like a nice high quality screen but not too bothered about size and good keyboard. Any suggestions are welcome. If any laptops match but are out with budget please still do suggest. Thank you.

Just want decent FPS (would like around 60, understand on some of the shooters could be lower) * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** I've heard the glass touchpads with windows precision are cool, but i don't really have a preference. Would like a halfway decent keyboard Basically i would like a non gamery looking laptop that is portable. Every now and then at a buddies place or something I could play some LoL or Overwatch or something. I started to think about smaller form factor laptops after i saw an old review of an Ultrabook (ASUS Zenbook 13) that seemed to have decent FPS at medium graphics (and had not stuttered from thermals). Since that one is older I was trying to see if there are any current laptops that don't cost an arm and a leg that fit that same type of mold. The one i keep seeing when i google is RazerBlade Stealth but it is a little too expensive for me to drop that much money without trying it. This will be my first laptop in awhile. I have a PC that I built, i just want some additional portability and semi light gaming. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2020 07:45 PM PST Hey everyone, First would you all consider a 2018 razor blade stealth for 1299 from Costco Canada a good buy? System details are 8th gen i7-8555u, Intel graphics 620, 16 GB, QHD (3200x1600), 512gb ssd. (Model number RZ09-02393E32-R3U1) You can see my valid form below: Total budget and country of purchase: under $1500 CAD Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Amazing Battery. Please no 2 in 1 form factors. Also none of these 2nd screening track pad laptops... How important is weight and thinness to you? Very this laptop will travel with me daily. I will have to carry a 2nd laptop which is a thinkpad t470 for work. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Under 15 inch Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Light gaming but not a need as I have a desktop with 1070ti and 9th gen i5. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Keyboard, track pad and build quality are all very important. I plan on typing a lot. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Remembering I need something coming with me everywhere, battery light is very important and a light form weight form factor. I would like to avoid another thinkpad as I want to "escape work" [link] [comments]  |

| Need a laptop with dedicate GPU and USB-C PD Posted: 13 Feb 2020 03:08 PM PST I need a lightweight laptop that I can take it on the go without carrying a bulky power adapter(so it can be charged with USB-C PD, not while using). I need to work on graphics related stuff occasionally so it need to have a dedicate GPU. It doesn't have to be only powered by USB-C PD, as long as it CAN BE. The current best one I can find is surface book 2, which has GTX1050, with a bulky power adapter(104W), but can be powered by usb-c PD, which is mostly good enough unless you need to run 100% GPU for long time. However, surface book 2 is out-dated with only 8th Gen Intel CPU, I hope the bros here can help me find a better one. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

Also use SolidWorks but with not-too-complex models, but some sort of decent Quadro would be nice. Sometimes use CUDA computation jobs (not super intensive but it would be nice to have as powerful CUDA performance as possible). Very rarely play games, the games I play are fairly lightweight so it's the lowest priority in actually selecting hardware.

| Office use + Light to Med Gaming + Photoshop Posted: 13 Feb 2020 05:57 PM PST Hi there, I'm currently very not updated on the laptops market and would like to have your recommendations. I am thinking of buying new PC parts (upgrading my old desktop) along with a laptop that I can carry around the office and have medium gaming capabilities. As of the budget, let's say there is not a set limit as of yet but rather work myself into saving up for that amount. I'm looking for a laptop that is light (Max weight is 2kg) and is able to handle office/photoshop along with light to medium gaming (Currently thinking of shifting all gaming capabilities using Stream Stream but the laptop can play let's say The Witcher 3/NBA 2k/*upcoming cyberpunk 2022* on 1080p - 60 FPS on its own - medium settings would do) . I'm currently bombarded with laptop recommendations of MSI GF series, MSI Prestige series, Razer Blade and I personally think they are too expensive since I would like to allocate some funds towards my desktop as well. Any other laptop recommendations would be great. [link] [comments]  |
