My son needs it for zoom meetings and a little bit of internet. I don't want to get him another screen he'll fall in love with (we have enough of those) ... just a clunky ugly laptop that he can work on. Thank you! submitted by /u/emnwln [link] [comments] |
| Cheapest Possible laptop that can run WoW Shadowlands Posted: 25 Apr 2020 01:41 AM PDT I have been using a Dell Inspiron N5030 Laptop for more than a decade but now WoW stopped supporting 32 systems and even though i have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 i can't even open WoW anymore so maybe i have to get a new laptop and i am looking for a cheap one, that can also run some general Steam stuff like Warriors Orochi 4. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/256565 https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/warriors-orochi-4/18223 Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: - Maybe up to 600 Euro the most but would rather less, as cheap as possible
Are you open to refurbs/used? How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? - I always have it wired anyway, would prefer the Keyboard to be silent just like Dell Inspiron N5030 and the battery to work similar to Dell batteries
How important is weight and thinness to you? - I need it to be similar to Dell Inspiron N5030, if its slightly lighter then its fine but not too much lighter
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. - The screen size should be very similar to Dell Inspiron N5030
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. - Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Movavi video editor, World of Warcraft Shadowlands, some general Steam stuff like Dynasty Warriors 8 (not the very high requirements)
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? - World of Warcraft Shadowlands, some general Steam stuff like Dynasty Warriors/Warriors Orochi (not the very high requirements ones), i prefer the FPS to be around 30-60, mostly 30 which is the standard, don't really care for higher than that.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? - My most important requirement is for the keyboard to be silent (i will disable the touchpad), like Dell Inspiron 5030, the other overall physical requirements should be similar to Dell Inspiron 5030
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. - Basically i need a laptop that is as similar to Dell Inspiron N5030 as possible in physical appearance and keyboard silence but to also be able to run WoW Shadowlands and some general Steam stuff.

| MSI P65 Creator (2019) seems too cheap for its specs. Am I missing something? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:29 AM PDT I'm looking for an all-around laptop that's powerful, reliable, and has a great screen. I'm down to MSI P65 Creator and ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7. Where I am (Belarus), P65 is around $2K and X1 is around $2.5K. At the same time, with the specs I'm looking at, P65 has twice the RAM, a bigger screen, and a dedicated graphics card. Also, 2019 model comes with an upgraded cooling system. P65 is twice as heavy as X1, and has half the battery life, but those are not concerns for me. So, am I missing something? Why is P65 so much better equipped and quite a bit cheaper? Is it build quality? Is it going to die on me in two years? Is MSI making Creator series artificially cheap to enter a new niche? Is X1 expensive on the brand alone? I mean, I know that X1 is hailed a perfect laptop, super reliable, has been on the market for 8 years, updated annually, business darling, and is supposed to last two lifetimes. But the spec is just too modest. submitted by /u/aprakha [link] [comments] |

Inspiron is the most expensive one, and it has graphics card I don't need. But I have good experience with Inspiron laptops and like them. Thinkpad E15 seems to be the best match for my needs, but reviews are not great. submitted by /u/goma-chan [link] [comments] |
| iPad 10.2 inch for college note-taking and using windows 10 off a remote machine? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:36 AM PDT I am entering college next year as a computer engineering major, and I need a note-taking device for classes. I already have a Dell XPS 9570 (FHD model but otherwise top-specced) so I already have a workhorse, now I just something with a touch screen and pen support that provides a very nice note-taking experience and good battery life. I was looking into the surface pro 6, but I don't know if I can bring my self to spend $1000+ on it for what I need. I start looking at iPads and I found a 10.2 inch version for a mere $330 (+100 for apple pencil and +$20 for case) so probably around $450 on amazon that is a real contender). My biggest concerns for any device I get are battery life, reliability and a good note-taking experience, which I know the iPad offers. My high school gives us school issued 9.7 inch 2018 iPads and they are great but the screens a little small, hopefully 10.2 inch will be enough. I would however like to have access to windows 10 as I'll be doing a lot of programming and some CAD, while away from the XPS so I figured I could use Windows remote desktop for when I'm out and about with a keyboard if I need to access files on my XPS or do a bit of coding unexpectedly or if I didn't feel like bringing my XPS. Has anyone used the iPad like this? Would you recommend it/whats been your experience? submitted by /u/Mortal_Mc [link] [comments] |

| Need a suggestion for a laptop on good price/quality for a sound producer. Posted: 25 Apr 2020 03:07 AM PDT Hello, my old PC recently stopped working and after a lot of years, its a hard departure but its time to buy a new one. I always had great trust in ASUS, this last PC was the n56vj model and it held up for maybe 10+ years with constant gaming. Now i mostly work on sound editing and video editing software. Based on this trust i always tend to look for ASUS computers more than others, although im really not sure if the others might be better.

| A gift for my wife. Posted: 25 Apr 2020 02:35 AM PDT budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Virtually no budget, but let's say less than $2,000 USD. I can't imagine what I'm looking for costing more than that. Are you open to refurbs/used? I'd prefer not, but if there's a -must- have out there that is no longer available new, then I'll consider it. How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Preferably a 2-In-1, but absolutely open to others. Battery life is very important, as well as performance. Battery life and longevity is the most important, then performance, followed by the actual type of laptop. How important is weight and thinness to you? It's for my wife, so weight is important. She will mostly be using it at home but will likely be taking it to work with her. Preferably less than 5lbs, but absolutely willing to compromise a bit of weight for better performance. Size probably plays into the weight, but size is not particularly a determining factor, as long as it will fit into a back pack, or easily be carried. 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. No real editing or gaming will occur, but my wife has upwards of 15-20 tabs open on multiple web browsers; as well as several Microsoft office programs running, due to the nature of her work. 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)? Security is very important. She types a lot, so a functional keyboard that will last is important. Absolutely needs at least one USB port, due to needing a card reader.

Consider League of Legends, Final Fantasy XV, Metal Gear Solid V... High/Ultra at 60FPS minimum Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? This is the important part for me. I've been using Gaming Laptops for years now (MSI, Asus Rog, and MSI again) and every time I had problems with them because the quality seems sub-par (hinges shouting through the encasing, cracking, etc). So if the computer could be built in a proper, solid way, it would be best, because I'll be carrying it around pretty often. A metal case would, of course, be the best. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I heard good think about HP Spectres and they seem built out of metal but I don't really know about them, if you have some opinion in addition to your suggestions, it would be great. I also know about Lenovo but the prices are usually much cheaper in the UK than in France. Last, I've seen some MSI for "Creators" in metal, but I don't know if I'm ready for them again. Only if they're worth it. submitted by /u/RlSE [link] [comments] |

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? No preference. Games like apex/valor any at medium settings would be fine. 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 could be helpful but absolutely not necessary. SSD is preferred. HDMI is preferred as well as an as card slot but that is not necessary as long as it has a solid amount of usb 3 ports. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Not biased to or excluding any brands just want the best laptop and deal in my budget to get my projects done and/or up and running. If that means waiting a few weeks or a month then that is also fine. submitted by /u/masterant369 [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a ~US$1200 Laptop for linux general use and some gaming Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:01 AM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Ideally, around ~$1,200 USD, in U.S., but am somewhat flexible on this. Are you open to refurbs/used? Only if it's a ridiculously good deal that I can afford to replace almost immediately How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Not terribly concerned, but I do use my computer in a couple different locations, and want the option to take it on trips, etc. How important is weight and thinness to you? I don't care. I'm not going to be carrying it everyday/allday, and the times I do decide to carry it, I'm not going to care about weight/bulk Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. ~15"? larger might be nicer, but I don't think I want to go much smaller Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. some gaming, mostly turn-based RPGs and similar If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I'm not terribly concerned with this, I just don't want to run into an appealing game and have to wait until my next computer upgrade to play it. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I really want at least a ~500GB SSD drive, if it doesn't have one, installing one will be the first thing I do (and part of the reason I'm uncertain on my budget, most I've seen seem to have a 256, which isn't big enough for my purposes, and is just as bad as 128 or nothing from my perspective) Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm going to be installing Linux, so I don't really care about what version of Windows comes with it. If it's not terribly inconvenient, I may keep it installed as a dual-boot option, but I'm likely going to end up reformatting the drive at some point. I also tend to like using a silicone keyboard cover, but understand that can cause heat issues with some computers...
Currently using a Dell Inspiron 17, got it back in 2016 or so, and it was pretty good until the GPU went last year, and I've been running it off of the integrated GPU, and it's okay, but it overheats if I open more than a couple Firefox tabs to youtube, so I'm really limited in what I can currently do with it... I've been thinking about trying to repaste the GPU, but don't want to try that until I have a replacement computer ready... Thanks for reading submitted by /u/lochaberthegrey [link] [comments] |

| Drawing laptop + light gaming Posted: 24 Apr 2020 07:51 PM PDT I'm looking for a laptop for about $650 that I can use as both a drawing laptop with a pen and can also use for light gaming (older games and emulators.) the price of the pen doesn't need to be included. I was looking at a Lenovo yoga book but I'm worried the keyboard would suck for any kind of gaming. I'm not to keen on surface go laptops either as I don't see how you could use it on your lap. Any recommendations? Thanks so much submitted by /u/Madvillany167 [link] [comments] |
| Gaming laptop Under $1.5k Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:23 PM PDT LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Ideally $1,500 or less. Could spend a little more. Are you open to refurbs/used? Want to buy new. How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Performance (want to play games on settings other than the lowest for once, build quality, batterylife/form factor (ties for lowest.) Will be using it almost always plugged in. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not very important. Using it pretty much only at home or on occasional trips. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Medium? Sorry lol Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Just gaming, mostly single-player stuff no bigger than Skyrim level. But want to play on high settings. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? See above. Don't need something getting 60+ on multiplayer but want to have at least some quality. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Just a couple usb slots and I'm good. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Was looking into the new Zephyrus G14 a lot but I want something that won't blast the fans constantly as my current laptop really doesn't do that. Don't care if it's not the latest 2020 model or whatever, just want something decently good. Thanks!

| Laptop for better gaming experience - max. approx. AUD$2k (Australia) Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:50 PM PDT LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
around $1,500 to $2,000AUD, Australia Are you open to refurbs/used?
Ideally it would be new. How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Understandably all of these things are important except the need as an ultrabook/ 2-in-1 or touch screen type. How important is weight and thinness to you?
Thinness - not so much, but would like it to be on the lighter side. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
approx. 15 inch Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I would do some photo editing and gaming, but mostly just browsing the internet. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
These are on my current Steam wishlist as my computer does not perform well enough to run well: The Long Dark, Firewatch, Two Point Hospital. I rarely play AAA games 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)?
Multi zoned RGB keyboard preferred. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I am opened to custom laptops such as Aftershock or Metabox. Not a big fan of Razer. Thank you very much - really appreciate it if you can help. submitted by /u/Impractical_Silence [link] [comments] |
