Newbie soon to be pro (hopefully) Posted: 06 Feb 2020 03:51 AM PST Hi fellas. Im looking for advices i hope you guys can give me. So im thinking of starting to code/programming stuff. Never done it before, but i would love to learn it, by starting out small and then actually start courses and taking the education some time. My question is, i need a device to learn stuff on. Recommend a tablet, like the surface or is a laptop like a thinkpad from Lenovo more sufficient for the job? Ive been looking for a few days on different machines now and im more confused than ever. Specs is everything i know, but i still want it as light as possible, since i do travel alot. So! What can you recommend? Tablet or laptop? And What is the minimum requirements for basic coding in a laptop/tablet ? Other recommendations is also Good! Sorry for bad english! Cheers [link] [comments] |
GER / 2200 EUR: 15" Laptop for Photo Editing and CAD, XPS 15? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 03:30 AM PST
Over the last years I've used an old 2011 13" MBP at home and a workstation in the office and I'm looking to combine these two. I do Photoediting at home so I would like a good screen and maybe an SD Card reader. At Work I need AutoCAD, Inventor and Office. Built quality should be at least comparable to an older MBP. My old MBP had a 750 GB HDD and I think I would need at least a 1 TB SSD. I've looked at the Dell XPS 15" i7 Models, the one with 1 TB SSD and 32 GB of RAM is currently €2399, But I thought maybe 16 GB would do. I have no idea about the product cycle of these though, are there any new ones coming out soon? I've had my MBP for nearly 10 years and I'm still glad that I had specced it with with 16 GB RAM , a fast processor and a big HDD. My new Laptop should be Future proof as well. Would you recommend anything else? [link] [comments] |
Lenovo X1 Carbon or Macbook Pro 13" Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:06 PM PST I dropped and cracked the top left corner of my Asus q405ua last month. The crack is where the black bar is so it doesn't impede on my work, but the touchscreen no longer works on 3/4 of the screen. I'm going into my senior year this fall and probably will pick up another laptop so I can get the student discount prior to graduating. I'm an IT major and will use laptop for some coding in C#, python and SQL, I use Tableau for data viz, networking, DBM, and will use it for browsing the internet and watching YouTube. I've owned an android phone (Samsung) my entire life besides dumb phones before smartphones existed so the ecosystem doesn't matter to me. I'm open to other laptop suggestions so leave them below plus there might be some cool laptops coming later this year so I can hold off. Thanks. [link] [comments] |

Will this laptop work for me? (Gaming laptop questions from the village idiot) Posted: 06 Feb 2020 01:33 AM PST This one.... I plan on almost exclusively using it for a game called Elite Dangerous, and VR for that game. My kid might use it for VR Roblox too some. I plan on ordering a Valve Index when my tax returns get back this month. It's got a thunderbolt port so I should be good there. I was just curious about whether it would run smoothly with Elite in VR Ive read a lot of negative press on the Rtx graphic cards and I lack the expertise to fix damn near anything without complicating the problem, so I thought the Gtx ti sounded like a safer choice. If someone wants to correct me on this, no worries just let me know that I'm wrong lol. Thanks in advance for any help at all. I'm out of my element. Uhhhj. Hope I do this right...

Help me decide between the asus zenbook pro duo vs the macbook pro 16. India Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:47 AM PST I am a web/graphic designer and i do video editing. I use the Adobe Creative Suite. I am having a hard time deciding between these two laptops. both are in a similar price, with their pros and cons. Would appreciate it if you guys could help Asus Zenbook Pro Duo - Price 2,44,999 Apple Macbook pro 16" - Price 2,40,000 I would love to upgrade the Macbook's RAM 32GB and Graphics card to 8 GB, but that variant is not available here, I am unsure of the support i will get in india for a custom system. I am concerned about Adobe softwares performance on the Mac, I had an imac in 2013 which lagged because of the RAM it was virtually unusable even for basic browsing, I am not sure if i will have the same issue with 16GB. The Zenbook has the better specs, but it is a thick and heavy laptop. The Mac is a lot lighter and easier to carry. I will add that i primarily use a windows desktop. I need this laptop for when i travel, so this isnt something that i will carry everyday. Desktop Specs - i7 6700, Nvidia 1060 6GB , 16 GB Ram, 256SSD + 3TB HDD My desktop is more than sufficient for my needs and have no issues with slowdown or lag. Both are in a similar pricerange, so cost is not an issue, I do want to keep this laptop and use it for several years. The previous one i have now is almost 6 years old. I would love to have a similar lifespan out of the new one as well. Thank you for your help! [link] [comments] |
Sleek Laptop for Graphics and Video Creation Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:40 AM PST Hey there! I'm in the US and looking to stay under $1.5k Product asctetic is more important to me than most people - makes sense that this laptop will be used mostly for design purposes :) That said I tend to gravitate towards something like a Surface Book, Macbook, Zenbook, etc, but I'm a little out of my depth and open to whatever suggestions! I have the whole Adobe Creative suite installed and will be using this laptop for: - graphic design - website design - video editing - video calls and possibly recording for YouTube until I can get a dedicated camera - light gaming (Civ V, Banished, Sims 3) I know I want a SSD. Otherwise.... What's practical, team? Thanks for your willingness to help others! Edit/Note: I just bought an iPad Pro for my on the go needs, so I'm looking for a bigger screen (15-17") here. The Apple integration could be cool but my understanding is the recent MacBooks are not a good buy. And I'm thinking the Air probably isn't up to spec? [link] [comments] |
14" "business theme" laptop with rtx 2070? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:10 AM PST Budget is <$3000. I have a surface book and I really like the way it looks, but it's slow. I use cad/revit so an RTX 2070 would be great if at all possible. I would prefer a "simple" aesthetics laptop, not large aggressive vents. Thank you [link] [comments] |
Posted: 06 Feb 2020 03:53 AM PST Hello ya'll, i really need a new laptop and I have saved up quite some money.. i really wanna know what is a great laptop for school and gaming, I would really like to have a laptop with a nice keyboard (with lights if possible) from msi, but i just really dont know what is the best option. Please help me find the best laptop around €750 - €1000 ($850 - $1100) [link] [comments] |
Looking for a new laptop for a friend Posted: 06 Feb 2020 02:59 AM PST Hello, got asked to look for a new laptop for a friend with a budget of max 500 euros and what better place to ask than this amazing place! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:53 PM PST Total budget: around $400 2 in 1: would be cool but if it drives the price too far up, I'm not heartbroken to not have it. Weight and thinness: not super important OS: I think windows Screen size: not important Programs: I want to play hearthstone and other digital card games as well as I'm a fan of the auto chess genre. Nothing high end. I do have a pc but itd be nice to play some casual games on the couch. Game settings requirement: I don't need it to run on high settings. I'm fine with minimal. Just that it runs smoothly. Other requirements: nothing jumps out. An HDMI out would be all I can think of. Anything else fancy is icing on the cake for me. Would be nice but not needed. Not sure if anything like this exist for the price range but any advice would help. I am very limited in my tech knowledge. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:02 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: preferably under 300, but i can go as much as 600. 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. Specs first, then battery life. 2 in 1 is okay, but not necessary. How important is weight and thinness to you? This is probably the most important. Which OS do you require? Windows. I would also consider chrome os if it works better in this budget range. Do you have a preferred screen size? On the smaller end, definitely under 13. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. maybe some hearthstone, but i mostly just need to do word processing and stuff. 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)? The keyboard might be the most important element. Touchscreen preferred. All else is fine either way. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I have a desktop for tasks that the laptop cant handle, and i mostly just want one that is small, light, and has a good keyboard. I was considering a Surface Go, but im not sure that the hardware that you get is a good value for almost 700 dollars with a keyboard and pen. [link] [comments] |

Any decent, light laptop larger than 15 inches? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 11:12 PM PST Hi all, I'm trying to find a reasonably light and small laptop that's larger than the standard 15,6" 16:9 laptop and I'm failing. The 15" Macbook Pro from last year had too many problems. The 16" one is too expensive for me. The new Surface Laptop is also slightly larger, but the screen is a makeup mirror and I have no use for the touchscreen functionality. The price / performance is also completely out of wack. The LG Gram 17 looks like a really good fit, but it's not available in Germany. Are there any products I'm missing? I'm not looking for a lot of performance, I just need a large screen for productivity. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

USA/$1500: Need a laptop for writing/art/school Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:23 PM PST Total budget and country of purchase: $1000-1500, USA
Need a decent balance of battery life and power, though if it comes down to it I'd prioritize battery life.
I need something as portable as I can get, so preferably lightweight, though it's OK if the laptop is a little heavier if it means it's more powerful and has a better battery life.
Windows
N/A
Definitely want something that can run Steam smoothly without any lag or other performance issues. While I'd also like to be able to run photo/art editing studios, I'm not sure which ones.
Building an actual gaming PC down the line, but I wouldn't mind being able to smoothly run some older games like KOTOR or V:TMB, and simpler games like Hollow Knight and Darkest Dungeon at 60FPS. Some PS2 emulation for the old Silent Hill games would be nice.
Multiple USB ports, an HDMI port, Audio Jack, etc, are all necessary. A touchscreen would make digital art easier, but I'm pretty sure those also suck away battery life. I'm not opposed to just purchasing a drawing pad seperately and hooking it up. Definitely want a screen that's at least 1080p with a refresh rate of 75-120hz
This is primarily for writing, studying, college work, and any media projects that may relate to those. I want something portable and speedy with a long battery life and decent storage capacity. While I'm also interesting in something for digital art, that isn't the number one priority. Light gaming capabilities would be great as well, but again, not the main concern. [link] [comments] |
ASUS GL703GS-DS74 for gaming and graphic design? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:03 PM PST I'm looking for a modest upgrade from my hp pavilion which has an atrocious screen.

Can't decide..help please. Ultrabook? Gaming? idk :( Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:31 PM PST Looking to get a laptop. I have had desktops for years (gaming rigs) and just looking to have a clean setup and hopefully something more mobile that I can carry around the house when I can't be in the gaming room all the time due to the new baby :) I am looking for something that I will most likely be doing YouTube / Web Browsing 99% of time the time. Maybe some moderate gaming (overwatch, CS Go) etc. and some video editing. I would like to keep it under 1k. My ideas so far suggestions are always welcome.
It would be nice to have a laptop that is excellent at hooking up to external monitors and being docked 99% of the time as I prefer external mouse, keyboad, monitors. I would just like the option of having a laptop I can carry to work / around the house. Thanks. [link] [comments] |

Looking for a powerful programming laptop that is not infested with bloatware Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:47 PM PST At work we either can use MacBook Pros or Windows laptops. As I am working in the financial sector, a crap load of security and compliance painware are installed on our laptops. This has turned my 2-3 year old MBP painfully slow. Our Windows laptops are mainly for our BAs and have even lower specs. I would have switched to Linux instead of Windows, but that's not an option here. So, I am looking for:
