    High end 17-inch Laptop wanted for Long term use - ($4,000 budget in USA)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 01:16 AM PDT

    Hi everyone! I'm in the market for a new computer and stumbled upon this amazing subreddit, so I figured I'd ask for some advice here. I basically always keep my laptops for 5+ years (this last one nearly 10, a Dell XPS17 L702X). Due to this, I'm willing to spend quite a bit of money (budget up to $4,000) in order to get something that will let me do what I want in the future.

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

    $4,000 USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

    How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

    Performance first, don't care about battery life

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all. I'm fine with a massive computer.

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

    Yes, at least 17 inches.

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

    Just light gaming

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

    Standard AAA games, but not any of the high end first person shooter games. I guess an example would be I would want to play the new Final Fantasy 7 Remake if that gets released on PC.

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

    I need a webcam (a lot of my work will use it) A good keyboard would be nice A touch screen is ideal, but not a deal breaker

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

    Additional Things I need/want: 1 - Windows PC - I never got into Macs back in the day, and I'm likely too old to do it now. 2 - Future proofing - As I stated, I want this computer to last me years, so any ports that may be necessary as things change in the future would be a huge plus (usb-c?).

    Things that don't bother me at all: 1 - Portability - I'm going to use this thing practically as a desktop replacement so it doesn't matter if the machine is a behemoth. 2 - Battery life - I'll be plugged in most of the time. 3 - Lack of a dvd drive - I torrent or stream most things anyways. 4 - Cost - as long as we stay in my $4,000 budget, I'm fine.

    Is Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 Quad Core - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/4 GB Graphics/AMD Radeon RX 560X) AN515-43-R2M9 Gaming Laptop worth the price/specs?

      Hello! I'm moving to my girlfriend's place who lives not the other sdie of Sweden for two months during summer. Because I don't have a driver's license and I'm staying for a short time, I have decided to leave my desktop setup at home and leave with a laptop instead. Hopefully it will also be used for when university starts again after summer.

    I'm looking for a laptop for general (hopefully long term) use and play non-intensive games quite often. Think Minecraft, Rocket League and possibly Skyrim on the lowest settings? I was looking at this swedish site, is there anything there that would be good to buy? https://shop.inrego.se/barbara.

    What new high-end laptops are slated for release in the near future? Anything you're keeping an eye out for?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    I'm in the market for a laptop, but after over a month of research, I haven't been satisfied with anything currently available, particularly with so many new technologies still not being featured on many recent releases, including 10th-gen Intel CPUs (or the new AMD Ryzen CPUs), Wi-Fi 6, and Thunderbolt 3, and it seems like a renewed appreciation for bigger batteries and 16:10 aspect ratio is just starting to catch on. Not to mention MiniLED displays, Apple's upcoming ARM architecture, and the new benchmark the MacBook Pro 16 has set for laptop speakers.

    That said, I'm wondering if it might be possible to compile a list of all the high-end laptops slated for release over the next few months, so that I can keep an eye out for all my options.

    A few I've been following:

    • Refreshed Dell XPS 15 & 17 (featuring 16:10 aspect ratios, slimmer bezels, and front-facing speakers)
    • MacBook Pro 13/14 (featuring improved keyboard and perhaps speakers, based on the MBP 16)
    • ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 (notable for being a better implementation of the dual display than last year's ZenBook Pro Duo)
    • ASUS Zephyrus S15 & S17
    • Legion 5i and 7i
    • HP ZBook Studio & Create
    • MSI Creator 17 (first miniLED display on a laptop)
    • MSI GE75 (not a new model, but will feature the 10th-gen Intel CPUs and is notable for being one of the few laptops with good speakers, although the lack of Thunderbolt 3 is maddening)

    Anything else I can add to the list?

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

    I do some video editing with 1080p footage (not 4k) with premiere pro and after effects but it's a hobby and not a main requirement for the laptop. I want to do some moderate to heavy gaming like odyssey, witcher 3, doom and all those popular new games that everyone is talking about. I have an 8gb ram chip ddr4 so an 8gb ram laptop would be good (I'll upgrade it to 16gb). I want a graphics card that can handle any game but not necessarily overkill 4k gaming. (plus the video editing stuff). I prefer the storage to be ssd about 512gb or 1tb (if cheap). If the laptop is worth it, please recommend it to me even of it exceeds the budget. I have my eye on the lenovo legion 7i but i want to explore other options before pouring 1.5k down the drain. Thanks in advance

    A good laptop for an engineering student + some light gaming? $1000-1500, US

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:26 PM PDT

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $1000-1500. I would prefer it be in the lower range but am willing to spend closer to $1500 if necessary!
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      As long as the laptop works like nearly new.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Not a fan of 2-in-1 laptops. A good build would be preferred, because I will be carrying the laptop around for classes. Battery life isn't important at all to me, as I'm almost always using the laptop plugged in. I'm not running anything too heavy, but it would be great if what I do run runs smoothly.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      weight isn't an issue for me, but would like the laptop to be on the thinner side.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      definitely would like 15.6" or slightly larger.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      I use photoshop, clip studio paint, MATLAB. I sometimes use premiere pro, but it's not a huge priority.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      The only games that I need my laptop to run are FFXIV and Overwatch at 60+fps at moderate settings.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      Something with a nice amount of storage, or at least the option to add more storage would be preferred. Also would prefer a laptop with an SSD. Because I do graphic design and digital art on the side, a screen that displays color well would also be great but not a priority.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I'm not really looking for a full-on gaming laptop (honestly, the way most of them look are just not my aesthetic haha) but if your suggestions include some that is completely fine!

    ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7 Vs MSI P65 creator

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 04:10 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a good all-rounder — powerful, reliable, and with a good screen (bright, correct colors). My primary goal is running a small business, which would include a ton of tabs, photo editing, and some excel, although nothing too taxing. Also carrying the laptop around quite a bit.

    After looking at a ton of options I'm down to two:

    ThinkPad X1 Carbon

    MSI P65 Creator

    I'm not going to list the exact specs, but out of two comparable configurations, MSI has a larger screen (15.6 vs 14), more RAM, 2 more cores, and other minor advantages — all that for less money (20% ($400) cheaper where I am). MSI is also twice as heavy as X1 and has half the battery life, but those are of no concern to me.

    My question is, basically, what's the catch? Why is MSI so much cheaper while having better specs? Which one of those is more reliable and will last longer with my type of use?

    Singapore - 500-1000 SGD Budget. Regular daily laptop mainly for programming and light gaming (indie game, dota)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 03:00 AM PDT

    So my previous laptop, ASUS X550J seems to have a burned motherboard. It was a 4 years old bulky laptop and it was horrible to use due to extreme overheating, battery that always break whenever I replaced them, and being a bulky and heavy laptop that is just a nuisance to bring everywhere.

    I decided that rather than repairing my previous laptop, I'd rather buy a new not so expensive laptop and just buy a prebuilt PC or DIY it. So here are the form that I have filled. I'm open to any suggestions and entries not from SG. Thank you in advance!

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      500 - 1000 SGD. Can be more depends on the spec.
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      Prefer new but I'm ok with refurbs/used if it is a good deals.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      I only care about the build quality and performance.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Not so important. My previous laptop is a bulky ASUS X550J which is around 2-3 kg with the power adaptor. So I guess lighter than that.
    • 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.
      Some of the heavier stuff that I would like to run:
      - Typical IDE (Android Studio, JetBrains IDE like IntelliJ)
      - Lightweight ML and AI (basic clustering and supervised learning)
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Probably Monster Hunter World however at my budget I guess its not really possible. But the settings should be minimum at: 720p, 60fps stable. Other typical game that I might be interested is APEX Legend, Fortnite, Dota 2.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      More towards good build quality but not a must.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      Probably I'd prefer if the laptop is not an ASUS due to multiple bad experiences and typically bad review in the market. However I'm open to any discussion and counter argument for this since I want to hear people's opinion.

    Need help deciding best laptop out of 3 options, please help

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 02:41 AM PDT

    I need a laptop rather urgently - because of the lock-down I can currently only buy from a certain store as they are the only ones that will allow delivery. So I have 3 choices to pick from.

    Here are the three laptops:

    - MSI: GL63 8SD | i7-8750H | GTX 1660 Ti 6GB | 16GB |15.6" FHD

    ​

    - ASUS ROG Zephyrus AMD Ryzen 7 GA502

    ​

    - ASUS ROG Strix G531GT

    ​

    I know next to nothing about laptops, so I'm looking for the laptop that best meets these requirements:

    ​

    - Longer battery life as I often experience power shortages and require the laptop for work

    - Able to play ARK Survival Evolved and FIFA 20 - doesn't need to be highest settings - that's the only games I really play

    - Will last me at least 3 years without needing an urgent upgrade (hardware wise)

    - Has a decent built in mic

    - Has HDMI port

    - Can handle multiple Chrome tabs without lagging out

    - Bluetooth (not a necessity)

    - Capable of dual screen / split screen / using two monitors

    - Durable - I have cats, but generally take good care of my stuff

    ​

    Sorry I suck at this, if possible please help.

    Laptop for Gaming, Studying and Video editing; budget: $1300-1500 (Australia)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:54 AM PDT

    Hi guys, looking for a general purpose laptop with a focus on gaming, studying and video editing.

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase.

    Up to $1500AUD, maybe a little over if it's worthwhile, purchasing in Australia.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used

    Yes, would prefer new but if it does the job that's okay.

    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

    Build Quality, Performance, Battery Life and Weight. Would prefer a balance between performance and battery life.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you

    Not important, prefer it to cool well and be more efficient then a thin laptop.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size?

    15" or 38cm should do the trick.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming?

    Will be doing gaming, from everything old to new. Would like to have the ability to play games like Cyberpunk 2077 on lower settings. I will also be doing a bit of video editing/viewing and photo editing i.e. adobe suite.

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

    Anything from Half-life to Cyberpunk 2077. I don't mind playing new games on lower settings just as long as its viable for a couple of years. A higher refresh rate would be nice feature to have such as 120hz/144hz.

    • 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 as I'll probably use it as my main computer for about 3 years. I would also like it to cool well so it's not prone to overheating/don't mind if it's a little noisy.

    ​

    If anyone knows the best place to buy laptops in Australia? Online or instore, with a good reputation and customer service to deal with if there's issues.

    I saw these laptops and they seem close to what I'm looking for:

    • Samsung Notebook 7 Force 15.6" (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650) $1575aud on amazon usa [not available in Australia].
    • HP 15.6" Laptop 8QW29PA $1500aud at the good guys.

    $600-$1000 United States, 14" or larger

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:02 PM PDT

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

    $600-$1000 USD Purchasing in United States

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes, from a reliable seller (of course)

    How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

    I'm flexible on form factor. I would like a good build quality. I would be willing to sacrifice some battery life for performance, but this is going to be a general purpose machine.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I wouldn't mind something sort of thin and I'd be willing to give up a dvd drive to save a little weight. However, I'll consider just about anything that meets my other requirements.

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

    14" or larger

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

    I'd like the capability to so photo and video editing. Not sure which programs I will be running. I would like to do some gaming, games listed in next quesitons.

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

    If I could play Cities Skylines, that would be great, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's not in the cards for what I want to spend. Otherwise, I've got a ton of games in Steam and a lot of them do not need a top of the line computer to run. No particular frame rate in mind as long as a game is playable. This won't be a dedicated gaming machine although I'm pretty sure I want a discrete graphics card.

    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 would be nice as I would like to do some writing. I would also like it to have numeric touchpad. Optical drive not necessary.

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

    I want to be able to watch movies and streaming. Which type of screen is better for that, matte or shiny? (I don't think those are the technical terms.) 1920x1080 IPS preferredd. At least 8 gigabytes RAM with the capability to upgrade to more if desired. An SSD drive along with a standard drive for storage, or at least an SSD drive and the capability to add a standard drive later.

    Thank you for your help.

    $400CAD Laptop for gaming

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:09 AM PDT

    Hello Reddit,

    TL:DR I want to buy a friend in Canada a laptop under $400CAD but I don't know which stores / models to look at as I live in the UK. Can you help?

    I was wondering if someone is able to help me help a friend whose got an absolute potato for a laptop. He wants to play with me and my friends some RTS titles, like Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, which aren't the most demanding games but his laptop can't handle it.

    He's my best friend who lives in a very rural part of Canada by himself so his laptop is his life. He's not able to upgrade because of the uncertainty about his job due to coronavirus. This situation is really hitting him hard and we want to help to keep his mental health up.

    I want to do a collection with a couple of other people and see if we can afford something that will allow him to play with us but there's a couple of issues and I wondered if you could help.

    • He lives in Canada, we live in the UK. I don't know what shops are best to look at for laptops.

    • The laptop doesn't need to be a gaming laptop but good enough to play age of empires DE. Anyone got a model they recommend that can handle that?

    • It sadly has to be a laptop because he is moving shortly to the US (I'd get him a desktops otherwise)

    • Our budget is extremely tight ($400CAD) and I don't know if there's something out there within our price range.

    • Happy to buy used/refurbished if they deliver. (He's about 3 hours from the nearest very small town).

    Any help you wonderful people can share would be great.

    Laptop for CAD and Gaming

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 08:12 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm currently studying engineering in New Zealand and due to the Coronavirus lockdown, I had to move back to my parents' home and leave my desktop PC behind. Now, my University has decided to perform "distance learning" for the next 6 months and I'm unable to run my necessary engineering applications. My parents' home is fully solar powered and can't run a desktop PC, so I've realised I basically need a good laptop to continue with my degree. My desired specs are as follows.

    Budget:

    My budget is approximately around $3000NZD (which is roughly $1800USD). I can go above this if needs must but would prefer not to.

    Performance:

    It will need to run CAD and other design programs and I would like to play some of my steam games like the witcher 3 and dark souls 3. So good performance is a must.

    Weight and thickness:

    I already have an old macbook air for note taking etc. So, this will basically operate as a substitute desktop. Therefor I would prefer good performance over portability.

    Battery life:

    As soon as the sun stops shining, I probably won't be able to leave it on charge, so good battery life would be great.

    Preferred screen size:

    I don't really mind, but bigger is always better.

    Specific Requirements:

    I will be using a plug-in mouse and keyboard, so don't really need good keys and trackpad. However, strong reliable build quality would be great.

    Finishing thoughts:

    OS must be Windows 10, but being able to dual boot in Linux could be really handy for engineering but isn't a deciding factor.

    I know nothing of the laptop brands out there, so any advice is appreciated

    Cheers

    What would you suggest

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:37 PM PDT

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Price sn't too big an issue, however ideally something up to $3000 AUD

    re you open to refurbs/used? Preferably not

    How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life Would like something that has good perfomance, loads large programs fast, has good graphics and large storage (am also open to desktops if anyone thinks that would be a better suit)

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Don't mind at all

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. The bigger the better, however am not too fussed on screen size, would prefer better quality than a bigger screen.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Lots of video and photo editing, I intend to use most adobe creative cloud apps, gimp, games like fortnite, grand theft auto etc. Might also do some 3d mmodelling eventually for a 3d printer.

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Best possible, however at the end of the day I just want smooth gameplay + good graphics.

    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 would be nice, but not a necessity.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Feel like that everything! Thankyou to everyone who replied!!

    Looking for a decent laptop that is good for editing photos and writing <$1000 US

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:34 AM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

      $1000 at most. This is what my stimulus check will be going towards.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      Absolutely! As long as it still functions at a high level!

    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

      build quality is very important. As I plan to use this for editing (not too heavy) it needs to not collapse when running photoshop, although that's not that high a bar. Battery life is less important since I'm almost always near an outlet and have my charger.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      pretty much not at all.

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

      Bigger is always better

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

      I regularly use my laptop for running Photoshop and Corel Aftershot.

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

      gaming is not a concern.

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

      must not fail when out of warranty. Must have high brightness and color gamut. Does NOT need a disc drive. Needs at least one USB port.

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

      I am looking for a new laptop after owning an absolutely abysmal Dell laptop. Please do not recommend a Dell. I need a new laptop because this laptop is physically falling apart and because the color gamut and brightness is absolutely inexcusable for modern laptop. I was warned before I bought it to never buy Dell, but I did. And now I'm here. I typically use my laptop for photo editing but that became impossible due to the absolutely poor display. I enjoy having a two-in-one but it's not necessary.

    This might be a long shot

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 11:21 PM PDT

    I'm looking for a laptop in the $500-$1500 range in the US. One that has a touch screen capability with a stylus (like with art programs) while still being able to play games at a passable quality. Any help is appreciated!

    ASUS fx505DT... Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 - 3550H 4C, GTX1650 4GB, 512 SSD, 8gb Ram.

    Is this a good budget gaming laptop, does anyone have any opinions on its performance, lifespan, heating, or just general quality? Thanks.
