| future college student and have no idea what laptop to get Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:27 AM PST Hey everyone, So I'll be studying Computer Engineering at CalPoly SLO this year, and I need to decide on a new laptop for college. I'm definitely an active gamer, and I really want to get into PC Gaming but at the same time I need a laptop with good battery life, good for programming and coding and just an overall great laptop for a College Student. What would you all recommend me to get? I've been using Windows all my life, so I guess I'd prefer windows. I don't really have a preferred screen size. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a Gaming Laptop with no Backlight Bleed. Posted: 29 Feb 2020 07:19 PM PST Budget is around $1500. I'm super OCD about LCD panels and the backlight bleed that comes with them. So my understanding is OLED is the way to go. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |

| Laptop Display Upgrade to 72% IPS no PWM flickering ! Help Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:50 AM PST Hey there guys! I am searching for a good second-hand laptop and I've just come out on the Acer serie seems to be good. The newer Acer Swift 2020 will come out with new Intel and AMD CPUs, but from reviews, we can see that the Intel model has a good screen but it use PWM, and the AMD model has a very bad display (it has only 50% of srgb) [link] [comments]  |
| HP Pavilion Gaming vs Acer Nitro 7 Posted: 01 Mar 2020 04:13 AM PST Hello guys, the laptop I'm looking for will be used for photo and video editing(adobe programs) and some light gaming(League of Legends). HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0007nu
or ACER Nitro 7 AN715-51
The screen is my main concern. I have found that display on the Acer offer 92% vs 96% sRGB on the HP one, but the HP is 144hz. On the other hand Acer has 512GB SSD vs 1TB 5400rpm HDD on the HP. Personally I like the design on Acer much more, but that 144hz display on HP is holding me back. So share your thoughts about these two and which one you think is better. [link] [comments]  |
| HP Spectre x360 (late 2019) or HP Envy ? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 04:07 AM PST Which to choose? Looking for best ultrabook with regard to thermals & weight, 10th gen Ice Lake. - HP Spectre x360 late 2019, seems to fit all boxes but most expensive. I do question the thermals here though. - HP Envy (non 360). Seems to fit most as well, although misses IR-camera and touchscreen (opposed to Spectre), no must haves but as price of Spectre is only a little higher, might be reason to go for Spectre. Although, does anyone know if thermals might be better on Envy so I should better pick Envy above? Specific model and price in scope:

| Looking for school laptop that will run Solidworks well Posted: 29 Feb 2020 07:48 PM PST * **Total budget and country of purchase:** Open to anything up to $3000 but aiming for $2000 or so. Definitely willing to spend extra to get a laptop with good specs and a premium finish. Purchasing in 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.** I'm a student and really like the idea of a 2 in 1 for taking notes and working through problems without paper, but I'm not sure how much I'll actually use it. I think I might have to forego 2 in 1 to get what I'm looking for. Good battery life is great, but I'm usually working in places with an outlet. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** Anything 5 lbs or lighter is fine. I'll be carrying it around everyday so anything is fine as long as it's comfortable in a backpack. * **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 15" * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I'm an avid Solidworks user so the main thing is that I can open and work in fairly large assemblies without any issues. I do renders occasionally but I can use school computers for it if necessary. I've been generally limiting myself to laptops with dedicated graphics but I'm not sure if it's necessary. I don't do a whole lot of video editing and don't do any gaming. I occasionally use other programs like Android Studio, Cura, and other CAD software. * **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 been spoiled with my current 4k touch display and am hoping to have one on my new laptop. I move my laptop a lot between classes and what not so ideally it will be really well built and I'd definitely prefer a nice finish. I'd like built in USB-A and HDMI but neither are deal breakers. Looking to have at least 16 GB of Ram and an 8th gen i7 or better. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** I currently have a XPS 15" with a 4k touchscreen and 32GB ram. It's been fantastic except the charging port keeps breaking and it's been a huge pain so I don't really want to get a new XPS since the charging method has not changed. I kind of like the 2 in 1 but the camera placement is incredibly annoying and the port selection is not great. I really like the new 2020 HP Spectre x260 15" but I don't know when it will be released and need to buy a new laptop as soon as possible as my XPS is no longer working. The current Spectre has huge bezels and generally seems really big, especially for a 2 in 1. [link] [comments]  |

Pick or include any that apply. Form factor unimportant. Reasonably good battery life is preferred. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not crucial. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows or Chrome OS. 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. Basic image editing via GIMP, sheet music via MuseScore. 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)? Reasonably comfortable keyboard and decent touchpad would be preferred. Touch screen would be nice but I understand it is unlikely at this price range. A built-in CD/DVD drive would be amazing since I collect CDs, but I'd be willing to sacrifice this since I can buy an external drive. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Really, I'm just looking for a basic laptop that will be reliable enough that I won't want to hurl it at a wall. Mainly I just need it for web browsing, Spotify, streaming, Google apps, email, creating sheet music, and occasional image editing. I'm thinking a Chromebook would be best, but would buy a Windows machine if I could get one of equal specs for the same price without major bloatware. Only looking to buy new, but would buy an older model if it isn't expected to lose support within a couple years. [link] [comments]  |

Video would be nice to learn but I don't do any now. Audio editing would be very nice (even if this requires an external card/interface). Zoom H2 is the only non-XLR mic I have. Audi is not a priority. No CAD at all. Gaming is not a priority - anything I play would be along the lines of the Baldurs Gate or Shadowrun Returns games or text based/IF stuff.
The first laptop I liked for travel and photo editing was the first Asus EeePC, despite the small screen. Current laptop is Asus E203M, which would be great except it lacks sufficient storage to install anything. If it's not possible to do what I'm after, I understand. If you happen to be a photographer who lives out of a single bag for months at a time I would especially value your recommendations. [link] [comments]  |
| Gaming laptop from bestbuy? Around $700 Posted: 29 Feb 2020 02:21 PM PST Hey all. Ive been told by many people that the best gaming pc for the lowest price would be to build. However, Im trying to do a payment plan on one at an electronics store so im not dropping $600(my price range) in one time. Would this be a decent laptop to be playing lightly on? Looking to play WOW and a couple of other steam games. If not, can you guys point me to the best one for a decent price, between 6-700? Thank you [link] [comments]  |

I don't know much about the newest computers and don't know about the value for the price.

| Suggestions for digital drawing and painting + 3D modeling hobby Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:01 PM PST Looking for a laptop mainly to get back into digital drawing and painting using a stylus/pen. I also dabble in 3D modeling with Sculptris/zbrush and I prepare 3D files for printing models on my FDM and resin printers, but I have an old laptop that works fine for that mostly. Former Mac user (all my devices are super old and can't keep up with what I need). I use Windows 10 for work (instructional design), but I don't really have a preference for which OS. I've been researching the iPad Pro but I'm annoyed by the limitations of app-only devices, so I figured I'd look at what a good laptop can do for me. Total budget and country of purchase: ~$1,000, United States Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Best specifications, but battery life is also important How important is weight and thinness to you? I tend to like the thin/sleek models Which OS do you require? Windows or Mac Do you have a preferred screen size? Larger, as I would like to use it for drawing. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? I want to get back into digital drawing and painting, so I may get Photoshop or something like Clip Studio Paint. I also prepare 3D models for printing using PrusaSlicer, Chitubox, and some other programs. And I dabble in 3D modeling using Sculptris/zbrush. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Good FPS is a bonus but not a priority. There are tons of games I'd love to play, but I obviously have enough hobbies to keep me busy. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I want to use a drawing stylus to paint/draw digitally, so something that works well with a stylus. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.: I know a lot of people recommend desktops for 3D modeling and some of my other hobbies, but I don't have a place to dedicate to a desktop and I mainly want to draw on the screen. If you could recommend a good stylus as well that would be great. I have a super old Wacom Intuos 3 tablet that I enjoyed using back when I had a system that was worth a damn. [link] [comments]  |
| General Use Laptop; 2D AutoCAD Capable; $1400ish Posted: 29 Feb 2020 06:47 PM PST I have posted two times before and each time I've had really great suggestions, but each time something else comes up that changes the criteria. After some discussions with my wife, I need to re-orient myself and try to find a reliable laptop that will be a good hub for everything my wife and I need to do. I'd like it to have a professional look for when my wife has presentations and is powerful enough to use the programs I've mentioned below. I don't need it to run perfectly with AutoCAD, but I want to be able to run well enough that it doesn't slow everything else down. Will any of these work?
As always, all help is appreciated. Thanks again. **Total budget and country of purchase:*\* Purchasing in the United States. I have up to $1,200 to $1,400 with some wiggle room. If a laptop that might realistically last longer or have something that would benefit me, I'm open to going a bit over. **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 battery life is important; I don't want a laptop that will only last a couple of hours. The absolute best specifications aren't 100% necessary either but would be appreciated. **How important is weight and thinness to you?*\* I have never had a thin laptop and I like the feel of my Toshiba that has a bit of weight to it, but I don't think either are deal-breakers. I think getting an ultra-thin laptop would be a downside. **Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.*\* I prefer Windows. **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.*\* 15.6". **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.*\* What I am mainly looking for is being able to run is AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Cura, and a few other programs like WonderDraft, DungeonDraft, FlowScape, and Minecraft. I will be doing the basics; Word Processing, OneNote, Excel, etc. as well as general internet browsing. I will be using this laptop away from home as a hub for DMing a semi-weekly D&D game.

| Which Gaming laptop is decent? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:55 AM PST I recently switched to pc and wanted a friend of mine to come to pc as well. He has the problem that he has to carry his setup from house to house by divorced parents... Now he came with the idea to buy a laptop because that doesn't harm any parts during the shipping from house to house. Now he asked me which Gaming laptop is decent so I wanted to ask you guys since you have more experience with this than me xD He is willing to pay around €2000-€2500 but any other really good value/specs will do it as well!
