    Laptop recommendations? (Badly need help)

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 02:02 PM PDT

    Hey guys. I'll be getting a refurbished laptop soon (since a new one would cost me a fortune) and I really need your help and suggestions. I DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT LAPTOPS SO I NEED TO KNOW LITERALLY EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM Been using Dell all my life so I'd like to stick with Dell or go for HP. If you think I should switch, please lmk. Also, I'll be using this for a really long time so I'll try to future proof it as much as I can, do keep that in mind and lmk if I should go for a laptop or a mobile workstation.

    ■What I want in my laptop (pls suggest if I should make changes):

    • Lots of storage space. (1TB SSD?) (Don't know much about HDD or SSD so explain how to divide the storage amongst them pls).
    • A decent sized, preferably anti-glare, HD screen (15" or more) (is touch screen/detachable screen recommended?)
    • Long battery life.
    • Backlit keyboard.
    • Decent camera.
    • Shouldn't heat up.
    • An HDMI, Ethernet and USB ports, audio jack, bluetooth and wifi (4/6, idk??)
    • Lightning fast processor(s) (A MUST).
    • Neat and sleek design (not a must but it should look good)
    • RAM recommendations?
    • Graphics card (please recommend which one, don't know ANYTHING about them) (not top of the line but something that's good enough for me to seldom play games and run somewhat heavy softwares).
    • Anything else that you'd recommend?

    ■What I'll be using it for (mostly):

    • Work.
    • Studying.
    • Movies and music.
    • Music production and video editing.
    • Moderate gaming (PUBG).
    • Lots of downloading.
    • Storing lots of stuff.

    Can't think of anything else. I know this post is a mess but any help will be appreciated.

    Also, please UPVOTE so I can get recommendations from lots of people on here.

    Thanks a million!

    A Complete Look at the ARM-based PineBook Pro (Linux Laptop)

    Should I buy the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14” over the MacBook Air 2020?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 03:02 AM PDT

    I was thinking of getting the MacBook Air 2020 with the i5 upgrade for about $1350, but then I saw this laptop at $1200, and it packs double the RAM at 16GB which is also faster, a Ryzen 7 4800U 8-core CPU, as well as a full terabyte of M.2 NVMe SSD, compared to a rather small 256GB on the MacBook. In addition to this it has full sRGB coverage, 15h battery-life, WiFi 6 and most importantly no thermal issues .

    To be honest, I can't find a single flaw. My question is how can this be $150 cheaper than the MacBook? Are there any deal-breaker compromises I am missing?

    Here's a link, it's in Swedish but I think you can see the important parts.

    So I’m looking to buy a new computer on the more expensive side. I was looking at the surface book reviews and I’m getting slightly mixed reviews. I want to know if anyone has had a surface book and how did that workout for you.

    Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LWS - Anyone heard about this laptop?

    As anyone heard about this laptop?

    Trying to find information online, but noting I can find about it.

    What do you think of the specs?

    One thing I am not sure about is the Raid 0, is this really useful or just waste?

    Can I change it if I want to just having 2 SSDs instead? (so I will have 1 TB instead 500MB Raid 0)

    Imagine that I bought a new Laptop and I want it to last for as long as possible

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:55 AM PDT

    Imagine that I bought a new, expensive laptop from now till midyear. Laptops in general "decline in quality" i.e slows down over time due to usage. What should I do in order to slow down this decline and how do I take care of a Laptop? What should I be doing so that my Laptop could last as long as possible?

    What do you guys think of my list? I am mainly going to be doing architecture work on it bc I am going into architecture school in the fall. But I also want to be able to play some games if i ever feel like it.

    Need laptop for school and video (USA- ~$1100)

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:18 PM PDT

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

      My budget is about $1100 USD

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      I'd prefer new

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

      I don't really know, I'm not a big tech person, i would like a good battery life though

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      Not very

    • 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.

      I'd like to do video editing, preferably with Premier

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

      Not gaming

    • 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, I don't mind touchscreens but having one wouldn't sway my opinion on what i'm getting

    Acer Nitro 5 temp problem

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:39 AM PDT

    I bought an Acer nitro 5(specs are 8gb of ram, rtx 2060, intel i7 9750h and a 120hz monitor) which costed around 1100. When being used for simple internet browsing the cpu temp hits around 65-70c and when playing Fortnite which is not a very demanding game, the temp hits 95c+ causing major throttling. Any help would be very very appreciated as I've been saving for this laptop for a while and would hate to see this as a persistent problem

    Using Thermal Pads on Laptops (Dell Inspiron 15 5585)

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:53 PM PDT

    So I bought the Dell Inspiron 15 5585 that has a Ryzen 7 3700U a year ago. Thing's a beast, but thermals and battery life are atrocious. I noticed the other day that at idle it's in the 40s and 50s and the fans would turn on occasionally. I'm looking at selling it, so I replaced the thermal paste and it got the idle temps down to 35, which is amazing! However, when I do anything stressful like a game, it takes forever to come down in temperature. Sometimes it doesn't even come down below 50 until I turn it off and leave it off for a long period of time. Even then, if I'm running anything the temps will spike to 50 at the minimum.

    I am wondering if this is common with the 5585 or other similar inspiron laptops or other laptops with a 3700U. Second, has anyone used thermal pads on their laptops? Since I'm selling them to a friend who will never be opening up the laptop, I heard that thermal pads could be good for that. Has anyone used them on a laptop? Are they any good? Got the idea from an LTT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpphKzmDiJM

    Need general help with laptop

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    Hi so I have an ideapad s145. I'm not upgrading it for gaming but I am upgrading it, as it was cheaper to do so, than buy it premade with the parts I added.

    I need to know what this extra space is for and if I can add another chip

    https://m.imgur.com/a/gWB2KFO

    The space looks exactly like the chip above my ram, but without the chip in it.

    I don't trust Lenovo's support site as they tried telling me I couldn't add an m.2, even though it had the slot and I pictured it in a post there

    Can someone tell me if I can do anything with that space, and if so, can I get recommendations?

    Acer vs MSI

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:42 PM PDT

    I was stuck in deciding which laptop to go for between the 1. Acer Predator Triton 500 PTP515-51(1TB SSD) 2. MSI GL65 9SEK-260IN(1TB HDD+ 256GB SSD)

    16GB Ram+RTX2060 version in both the cases. From what I have read, Acer Triton has better stats to GL65 (battery life and I guess complete SSD)

    But from what I have heard from some ppl is, Acer doesent make good laptops and have issues, thus going for MSI is better even though specs wise it's a bit inferior to the Acer Triton they have hardware issues and don't have well made laptops.

    I am an amateur at this, so wanted to know your opinion :)

    Gaming Laptop Battery Pack

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:38 PM PDT

    So I have an MSI GF65 Thin 95D which is a very high power gaming laptop. I recently bought it for gaming and for classes during college. With experience, I can let it sit for maybe 6ish hours while on battery saving settings before it dies.

    This is not ideal for college so I would like to get a power bank - ideally small and portable I can take to my classes - in order to practically extend my laptop's playing time outside of my dorm. From what I see on the adapter that came with my laptop, I need something that can do 19.5V and 9.23A with DC power. Alternatively, though not preferred due to long cords, I would like a power bank that has an AC US Female power outlet on it.

    Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it. Budget is $200.

    Edit: Laptop battery is 51wh. So I would prefer a power bank with at least 50wh more, ideally 100+ wh.
