| General Use/ Moderate Gaming - $1,500-2,000 USD Budget, US Purchase. Posted: 02 Apr 2020 05:27 AM PDT - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
Purchasing in the US, using USD. My total budget would be $1,500 - $2,000, I don't mind spending less if there is a good laptop that fits my needs. - Are you open to refurbs/used?
No. - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Battery life is important, but I mainly use this at home as I no longer have to commute to University. But I do travel a couple of times a year to visit my family so I would like to have a decent battery. I would like to have decent build quality as I am rough on my personal effects. I try not to be, but it happens. - How important is weight and thinness to you?
As I said earlier, I am not commuting much anymore with my laptop so I don't need something ultralight as I do now, but I also don't want something super heavy. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
I like having my 17 in screen, I wouldn't like to go much smaller. - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I've listed my games down below. I am a software engineer so I do run Intellij, and Jetbrains products along with a VM at times, and have some local DB's set up. - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I do game every now and then. I typically play games such as Minecraft, tabletop simulator, some Wow Classic, Plauge Inc. Spintires, CIV VI, games like that. On my current laptop, it's at the lowest graphic's settings on some of these. So I would like something that is a bit better and can offer me some better graphics. I don't play a lot on my PC though. - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I would like reliable build quality, at least 3 USB ports, a thunderbolt port, HDMI port, ethernet port, and an SSD. Keyboard/touch pads are low on my list as I do have an external keyboard and mouse. But I need enough ports to plug that in as well as a headset. I would also like at least 1080p display. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
My current laptop is a Dell XPS 15 9550, and my grips about it are Dell has a ton of updates and I feel like the updates never end. I also need at least 1 more USB port (currently 2), and I don't like having to put my graphics on my games at the lowest setting. Probably why I don't game too much on it. I do enjoy the backlight on the keyboard and how sleek it is, as well as the thin bezel around the screen. submitted by /u/Agentsoy [link] [comments] |

Open to a refurbed or used laptop if its in decent enough shape. Priority would most likely be the performance and battery life. Preferably light but not really top concern.

| Can someone help me find a laptop for my girlfriend? Posted: 02 Apr 2020 04:45 AM PDT Hi r/SuggestALaptop! This whole coronavirus pandemic has been nice for people looking for more time with their significant other - our problem is that we live in different countries and can't see each other. That is why we have been looking for laptops she can use for 'casual' gaming stuff. We have been looking at the HP Pavillion Gaming laptop, but some online reviews are scaring us away. She will mostly play games like Zelda, Sims, Cuphead etc. Our budget is around 1260 USD. submitted by /u/deletingthissoonhehe [link] [comments] |

| Asus Tuf fx505dd vs Lenovo L340 Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:06 AM PDT My price range is 550-850 ish dollars, and I've narrowed down my options to these two laptops and I wanted some more perspective on this, since reviews seem mixed. These two laptops have basically the same specs (same gtx 1050, 8gb ram and 512 ssd), albeit the Lenovo has a i5 9300h and the Asus has the ryzen 5 3550h, which is weaker. The way I see it, is that the Asus costs about 40 dollars less and has the TUF build properties and more gaming features at a cost of some cpu horsepower. This would be fine, however I do plan on playing some cpu heavy games like BeamNG and Cities Skylines. My country is Bulgaria if that helps, thanks in advance. submitted by /u/SHIPFACE [link] [comments] |
| Laptop I had settled on appears sold out - need other suggestions Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:36 PM PDT I will attach the form in the comments, but wanted to explain situation first. About 3 months ago, I had settled on purchasing an Eluktronics Max 17, but after finally reaching a point where I feel financially comfortable enough to make a purchase, it looks like it's sold out everywhere. I need a machine that will be able to handle content creation on Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop) and will be able to handle modern games. I had settled on the Max 17 because of the: 17 inch screen RTX 2070 Max-P 32 or 64 GB RAM i7 9750h 2TB SSD Not to mention it's lightweight and I was going to upgrade to the Thermal Grizzly cooling. In the meantime I'll keep looking for that version of the laptop, but want to know if anyone has more suggestions. I haven't kept up with any new laptop releases in the last 3 or so months. Again, the form is attached in the comments. Willing to spend up to $2500 for a good machine. submitted by /u/ShaftyUpshaw [link] [comments] |

| 1500 CHF (=USD) range (Switzerland) - Looking for a silent laptop with solid cooling Posted: 02 Apr 2020 02:55 AM PDT - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
~1.500 CHF (pretty much 1/1 USD). Country of purchase : Switzerland - Are you open to refurbs/used?
no - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Form factor : normal laptop or 2-in-1. Looking for excellent build quality, good screen and at least decent built-in speakers, performance does not need to be amazing as I have a very powerful desktop PC for heavy use. Battery life does not matter much. - How important is weight and thinness to you?
Weight is not important, thinness is a bit more important, but not a dealbreaker. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
preferably around 15" - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I will use it for multitrack audio recording (Adobe Audition) (only recording, mixing and editing will be done on my desktop PC, recording multitrack doesn't require too much power), playing hearthstone, watching videos and casting full HD videos to my chromecast (no 4k). - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Only hearthstone, fps don't matter. - 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 if the trackpad is good, I'm happy without touch screen. Noise and cooling are my main concerns (see below) - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I often play hearthstone outside, in the sun or when it's hot, or watch videos in bed, so the cooling system efficiency is very important to me. I used to have a MBP (2012), and the fan would go ham just watching youtube in bed, which was annoying. I want it to be silent for light use, but it still needs to be able to cool down properly when needed.
Now I have a Surface Pro (2018 I think, i5 fanless version), it's pretty good for my use, but my main issues with it are: the form factor is not ideal for audio recording, it can't cast videos to my chromecast properly (stutters, low FPS, I have to use my desktop) and it throttles very quickly when I use it outside or in the sun. submitted by /u/le-tendon [link] [comments] |

Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
Up to 1800 Euro, Europe, Lithuania (Germany might work too). - Are you open to refurbs/used?
Refurbs work. - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
- Performance
- Build quality
- Upgradability / Battery life
- Form factor (ultrabook or workstation, not really looking for a 2 in 1)
- How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not really that important, would like a portable machine though to carry in a backpack. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
13"-15" (<15.6) - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

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)?
Keyboard with decent travel, touchpad and display are probably the most important. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I had my eye on Lenovo X1 Carbon (7th gen) and keep coming back to it, but the performance doesn't seem would be a big upgrade from my current Y50-70 (i7-4710HQ, 16GB ram, 256SSD). Looked at P1, but it's pricey and the 1080p screen seems to be lacking. T480 screens look quite poor and while T490 might be an upgrade it looks a bit pricey for what you get. However, since upgradability is quite important, I'm leaning towards T490 over X1 Carbon. Operating system doesn't really matter, would probably prefer Windows after 12 years of Linux :) Would even consider a MacBook Pro if it didn't have that touchbar (had that at work and that's a really huge disadvantage). So, in short: - i5-i7 (wondering if i7 throttles and end up in same performance with busier fans in the end)
- at least 16GB rams (heavy Docker, IDEs, browsers user, usually go over 16 when working)
- SSD size doesn't really matter that much, even 256GB works

Performance is key. I use excel, graphic design apps, and need a lot of storage. Battery life is second. No hard preference on form factor, but would ideally not like a soft keyboard - How important is weight and thinness to you?
Light-weight and thin are ideal but not necessary. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
Larger than 13". - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Gimp, InDesign, Excel - 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)?
Good Keyboard, RAM, processors, and battery life are the most important. Touch-screen would be nice but not necessary. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I haven't been in the market for a new laptop in 8 years, and I have no brand preferences. submitted by /u/ECO_nomics [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a middle-range gaming laptop that will also be used for video editing, graphic design, etc... Buying in Canada Posted: 01 Apr 2020 07:49 PM PDT Hello everyone! As you might have guessed from the title, I'm a graphic designer by trade, and I suspect I'll be doing some remote work either for the company I work for or as a free-lancer for the foreseeable future. I've seen a couple posts here with similar titles as mine recently, but I also think I have specific needs and inclinations that are explained more clearly in the form that make this a slightly different case than those. LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
I would be looking to spend anything from 800 to 1500 $CAN, and I'm buying from Quebec, Canada. - Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes, absolutely. - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
I'm not too certain what the ultrabook category entails, but I'm not looking to have a fancy laptop with 360 hinge or touch screen. I'm used to the basic kind of stuff. Battery life doesn't need to be amazing, as I'll be working from home most of the time. - How important is weight and thinness to you?
As far as thinnes goes, I don't mind a thicker laptop, but I would prefer not to end up with a 15lbs machine. It still need to be fairly portable. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
Anything above or equal to 15". I'd like to have more real estate than too little. - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I will be using most of the core Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) but I intend on using mostly After Effects and so I'll be doing a lot of 2-D, maybe a bit of 3-D rendering on this computer. - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I don't really intend on playing triple-A FPS, GPU intensive games, so I'm definitely not looking to pay extra for something like a 144hz monitor, or anything too fancy regarding pure gaming performances. The straw that broke the camel's back for me to want to change laptop was Age of Empires Definitive Edition, and that will probably be the most demanding game I will be playing for a while. Other games I'd like to run are Hollow Knight, Blasphemous and maybe a bit of Civilization 5-6. - 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 using a MacBook Pro for the last 10 years, so I'm used to a fair build quality, but that would be the only thing I'm looking for on this list. I just don't want something that scratches too easily of feels cheap. As a side note, I'm not too interested in buying form Apple, unless someone makes a really good case in the comments. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I'm not a big fan of the RGB keyboard, sharp angles design on most gaming laptops available right now (I know this might sound a bit picky but this will also serve as a work laptop, so I need to be able to present projects to clients and partners and look professional at least a little).
One last point I'd like to throw out there is (and I don't know if this is even a thing) but I would also be interested in investing in a low carbon footprint product. So if there is a company that specializes in refurbishing or building custom laptops from used parts I would definitely be interested in looking into those. Thanks to everyone here in advance, this looks like a great comunity, I can't wait to hear from you guys and gals :) ! submitted by /u/UndergroundWhale [link] [comments] |
