| Lenovo Legion 5i or ASUS Zephyrus G14 Posted: 28 Oct 2020 05:56 PM PDT Hello, I am at a bit of a crossroads here. I want to get a gaming laptop to supplement playing time on my actual PC. For the most part, the plan would be to play the games I can play on my Ryzen 5 3600/5700 XT/ 32GB 3200Mhz RAM. I fully understand I may not get that quality of gaming in a laptop, but with the games I play, I don't mind dropping down to lower quality settings to be able to sit in the living room and play while my wife watches shows every now and then. I also would like to be able to do some graphic design, 3D, and light video editing. I'm not look at spending more than $1200, and this has led me to being between 2 different machines: The G14 and Legion 5i. The main reasons I am between those are what deals you can get right now on them. The G14 can be had in a decent config right now at Best Buy for $1200. The Legion 5i can be had in almost the same config at Lenovo's website for $1100. One of the things drawing me to the Legion 5i over the G14 is that not only is it cheaper out of the gate, but Rakuten currently has a 10% cash back on Lenovo's website. So essentially, I'd be getting the taxes and a little bit more off of the 5i. That being said, I am curious what you all think. From everything I have seen, the G14's Ryzen chip and 2060's performance is top of the line for this range of laptops. The 5i's specs are similar but I am sure it might take a bit of a back seat to the G14. And I am willing to pay a little more if the general consensus is that the G14 is just more of a solid machine when it comes to everything I want to do. But if the difference will be so minimal that it won't matter, that affects the decision as I could pay less for the 5i. What are your thoughts? Thanks! EDIT: Welp. Slept too long on the idea. Now both of those deals are dead in the water lol. Back to the drawing board. Thanks everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| Which of these two <$500 laptops should I buy my IT studying boyfriend? Posted: 28 Oct 2020 02:46 PM PDT I'm looking for a <$500 laptop to get for my bf who is currently studying IT. He'll mostly be running VMs via VMWare and/or Virtual Box, and setting up and running virtual labs to practice networking, cybersecurity etc. He will also be participating in a lot of CTFs. Otherwise, he pretty much just browses the web and watches stuff on YouTube, Netflix and Hulu. As for gaming, he would only do extremely light gaming. Would you guys recommend that I get him the HP Pavilion 15.6" Horizon Blue Laptop (15-eh0090wm) which is expected to go on sale for $379 next month, or the HP Pavilion 15-dk0096wm which will go on sale for $449? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Oct 2020 11:24 PM PDT So I've configured a couple of laptops with nearly identical specs and I'm just curious if anyone has any opinions on these brands or models. Anything I should be aware of or on the lookout for. Why one would be better than the others. The models are:
The shared specs are
Differences include:
I get a discount on Lenovo through my workplace, so with that and the "doorbuster" sale going on right now, all 3 laptops are <$100 apart. X1 for $1294 P17 for $1369 XPS 15 for $1319 I was sold on the Dell until I saw how much my work discount was on the others. So with prices this close together, does one of these stand head and shoulders above the rest? I'm mainly concerned about running a DAW and VST's without the constant need to bounce my audio. All the instrument libraries will be stored on an external SSD (thanks Prime Day). [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:19 AM PDT Hello there, I was just looking for a student Laptop for normal use as I study biology so it doesn't need to be anything crazy with a graphics card or anything. I was looking at the Asus Zenbook: But was wondering if I could get anything for a similar price with maybe a little more memory or a slightly faster CPU. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments]  |
| Small laptop with backlit keyboard Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:16 AM PDT I'm looking for something very portable 11"-13" that has a backlit keyboard and strong battery life. This is mainly for writing. Not fussy about OS. Can go as high as £400. Based in UK. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for decent budget laptop Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:02 AM PDT So yeah there's the form bellow. Hopefully I'm not asking for too much considering my budget. TL;DR of priorities is good screen, performance for light gaming, keyboard and battery life.

| Something inexpensive for video editing/photography ($500-1000) Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:49 AM PDT My wife is looking for a new (to her) at least that she can use to edit her drone footage and images. She's an engineer and licensed pilot, but she's been getting by with Adobe Premiere on our ancient Mac Mini, which I'd like to decommission eventually.

| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:02 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm looking for a cheap, speedy and lightweight laptop with a decent resolution screen.I want something that is lightweight and speedy (SSD is a must) that I can quickly whip out as needed and can travel around with - my intention it to mainly use it for remote working away from home (I can connect to my powerhouse work PC remotely) but also web browsing and occasionally streaming. I already have a battlestation for gaming etc. so it doesn't need to be super high powered with a graphics card etc. and doesn't need a lot of storage. It does need to have a decent screen resolution though (at least 1080p). Essentially I'm after a Chromebook/Macbook Air but with Windows OS. Any suggestions for laptops I can buy in the UK for £500 or less? Questionnaire below: Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: £500, UK Are you open to refurbs/used? Preferably not How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Lightweight with solid build quality. Performance doesn't need to be amazing but I don't want anything sluggish. How important is weight and thinness to you? Quite important that it is light Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14"+, at least 1080p Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No. Only programs would be Microsoft Office very occasionally and software I use for remote working (VMWare) 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)? Not particularly, good touchpad would be a plus. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:00 AM PDT Hi all, I am looking for quiet laptop, if possible around 40 decibels while gaming current games (like flight simulator) and future like cyberpunk. Not necessarily in ultra but something decent. I know that quiet and gaming laptop are not going together most of the time but my old laptop (asus rog) had this characteristics while having a temp around 60 degre GPU and CPU so I know it exists. Budget:1500€ max Thanks for your suggestions. [link] [comments]  |
| Small but Capable Laptops under $1k Posted: 29 Oct 2020 12:05 AM PDT
1000 $USD
I find myself quite nomadic which makes it difficult to casually play some of the games I enjoy such as Civ and Cities Skylines. Ive been looking for a laptop that I can jam into my backpack, but also play some games on (on low settings). It seems that the only laptops with even an entry level dedicated GPU are massive 14 or 15 inch beasts. Literally the only thing I can find that somewhat fits the bill is a Lenovo IdeaPad 720s, which is discontinued I believe. Regardless anybody have any suggestions for a small but powerful laptop, no bells and whistles like touchpads or touchscreens, and absolutely not an intel integrated GPU (amd vega 8+ is okay). SOMEONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a general purpose & Linux/programming laptop, < $1500 (US) Posted: 28 Oct 2020 07:53 PM PDT I'm looking for a (preferably new) laptop. I will exclusively run Linux, likely Ubuntu with i3 on it. I do a lot of programming, web development, and general web browsing. I'm not going to be doing a ton of heavy duty editing or gaming on it, though I would like something that can handle mid-level graphics software. I've been working on a really low end laptop for a while, so an upgrade in performance and build is really what I'm going for. I know many people like ThinkPads for Linux, but I'm not really sure why and I don't know if it's the best choice for me? I've also seen many people suggest the Dell XPS 13/15. This series looks really beautiful to me, but the 13" screen seems a bit small, and the 15" with reasonable RAM and SSD space gets pretty pricey for me (though I'm not necessarily closed to the idea).
Thank you in advance! If you have any questions, let me know. [link] [comments]  |

| HP Spectre x360 14 vs Asus UX563FD vs Lenovo Yoga 9i Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:08 AM PDT Hey. I am deciding between those three 2in1 laptops, that I will use for some basic Photoshop, watching movies, maybe some Fortnite once in a while, but mostly for university work. I would like something with good battery, nice screen and something that will not lag when I do the tasks above. Here are the options: HP spectre x360 15 https://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=3B131EA&opt=ABU&sel=NTB&p=c-hp-spectre-x360 https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-spectre-x360-laptop-15t-eb000-touch-7pu81av-1 Lenovo: https://laptopmedia.com/series/lenovo-yoga-9i-15/ In general, would you recommend me a 15inch or 14 inch laptop? thank you!

| Clueless laptop tech buyer needs help Posted: 28 Oct 2020 12:32 PM PDT So I'm considering finally moving over to pc/laptop gaming Instead of going for the new xbox. I was wondering how the Alienware m15 - i5100300H would perform compared to the xbox. I'm also in the military so the fact I can take it with me is a big bonus however I want something that is future proof and already the M15 is pretty expensive. I would like to know if its worth it and maybe if you know any other laptops that would be on par with the xbox. Thanks guys [link] [comments]  |
| I need a laptop but not a amazing one Posted: 29 Oct 2020 12:35 AM PDT Hello, first time posting here. I wanted to ask if you guys know of a good laptop to use as a new architecture student while having a very high spec desktop at home. The desktop for architecture is good but I can't take it with me everywhere so I need a laptop but I don't know what kind. [link] [comments]  |
| [Canada] Need something decent for my mom under 1k Posted: 28 Oct 2020 08:16 PM PDT I'm looking for a laptop for my mom. It won't be her main work machine. Used laptops are fine to suggest as well, but relatively new is what I'm going for here. Requirements: - Number pad (full numpad preferred, but I know most 15 inch laptops with numpads have shrunken ones. She said she might be willing to settle for that if the rest of the laptop is worth it.) - Multiple display outputs (maybe HDMI and DP or USB-C?) - Good battery life (the current machine has about 1.5h, so basically anything better than that is good. She doesn't need cutting edge battery life, 7-8h would be too much for her probably.) - Webcam (and NO nose hair monitors please, it's gotta be ON TOP of the screen!) - Edit: forgot to mention it's gotta be a Windows machine. No Chromebooks please. Specs don't have to be better than an i5 or equivalent, she won't be gaming or doing graphic intensive work, just lots of windows open. I know she would prefer a 15 inch laptop, but not many of those cram in full number pads. So feel free to suggest 17 inch models as well. Thanks for the help. [link] [comments]  |
| Is the base model 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro ($1200) worth it? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 12:01 AM PDT I'm still uncertain of which I should get. I will be using the MacBook I buy mainly for programming, browsing, gaming (games like cuphead, among us, hollow knight, etc.), and possibly editing videos/photos for fun. I'm still new to programming but are there any aspects of it that require good specs to do certain things once I increase my knowledge and abilities? For example, making a 2D game from scratch (like Mario)? Also, I want to download windows 10 alongside macOS. Would a base model 13 inch be a good purchase for what I want to use it for? Sorry for the boatload of questions. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a <$750 laptop for basic use and (very?) light gaming Posted: 28 Oct 2020 08:00 PM PDT LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
Not a huge issue, but would prefer it to not be extremely heavy. Should be able to carry it in a bag for a long time comfortably
Light gaming. Things like Civ 6, Phasmophobia, and Tabletop Simulator.
As stated above, Civilization 6, Phasmophobia, Tabletop Simulator, maybe Minecraft. As long as they run without lag, I'm not picky about settings.
I guess good input devices. Reliability would be appreciated.
I use my laptop daily, but not usually very intensively. Video streaming, Google Suite, RStudio, relatively light games. Just looking for a reliable, not-too-heavy laptop that will let me run games/programs smoothly. Ideally with a SSD. My current one (a ThinkPad) is about 5 years old, and the graphics card isn't good enough to play Phasmophobia. I've been looking at Asus, Lenovo, and Acer models mostly, but I'm open to suggestions. Thank you for any suggestions! [link] [comments]  |
| Need a gaming laptop that can be used as a work laptop and light gaming. Posted: 28 Oct 2020 07:52 PM PDT Over the past few months I was thinking of getting a good $1500 laptop with a 2070 and thunderbolt 3 but I am also getting a xbox series x and I realized that a gaming laptop at that price is kind of a waste of money when you have a series x and thunderbolt 3 I realized I was probably never going to use. So right now I just need a normal laptop for school work that can do 1080p gaming because I think it would be a waste If I got a laptop without a gpu. So I just need help finding a laptop that has these specifications -300 nits no less - Screen more than 50%srgb 98 would be nice - Gpu-1660ti - good thermals(almost got the dell g5,but thermals :( ) - 15 inch or above - 16gb ram - fine with any build quality - webcam -NO chinese company especially lenovo My max budget is $1000 will be willing to go higher if drastic change. I know series x will be like a lot more powerful but I need a normal laptop but I want to be able to game sometimes on that laptop so I basically need a normal work laptop that can do some good 1080p gaming. I am also willing to wait for black friday I just need an idea of what to look for on sale that has these specifications. Sorry for any bad grammar or excessive use of words I dont usually post on reddit and I try to get my point through. I know a lot of you will recommend the LENOVO LEGION but I dont want any chinese products(no offense to anyone) I want something like hp, dell, acer, asus, msi and etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a new Laptop, $700-900 range (US) Posted: 28 Oct 2020 04:48 PM PDT Hello everyone, The desktop that I use has been slowing down recently and hasn't been able to keep up with what I do on it. Especially with online school and new software I have been using. I also want a get a laptop instead of when I need to go places with it.
$700-900, open to going close to 1k, but really would like to stay at this range.
No.
Performance is the most important to me as I want the most bang for my buck. Don't really I am also open to 2-in-1s and would like something with good build quality.
Not very important; will have this laptop for the most part on a monitor and will only be taking it out on certain occasions.
13" would be my preferred screen size but willing to go with anything.
Yes, I will be doing a lot of CAD; specifically AutoCAD, Fusion360, Blender, and possibly Solidworks in the future. I will also possibly be using this laptop for video editing in the future.
A good trackpad; will mostly be using external peripherals.
I was looking into the Dell XPS 13 but it seems a little overpriced for the specs I would be getting. I would also really like to have at least 8gb (DDR4) of ram and 256gb SSD, but I would like more ram if possible. I have no preference for either AMD or Intel. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Is this a good deal? Refurbished Acer Posted: 28 Oct 2020 10:20 PM PDT Acer Swift 5 - 899AUD I am looking for a lightweight laptop for programming. This is well below my budget (1500AUD), but I have heard not good things about Acer build quality and throttling/heat issues. How does it compare to something like an X1 Carbon or a Zenbook 14? Cheers! :) [link] [comments]  |
| Rugged/Durable and Affordable Chromebook Posted: 28 Oct 2020 02:03 PM PDT After three years and lots of spills and drops and other beatings from my two young boys, my Asus C202 Chromebook is about done. I paid $180 for it and it appears to be discontinued and over $400 on Amazon. I need something comparable as I really only need something for watching Netflix/Hulu/Youtube TV, etc. and using the internet. It needs to be able to take a punch though with these two lunatics running around in the house. I don't want a tablet or anything that separates, just a straight up laptop Anything sub-$300 that fits the bill and won't go bust immediately? [link] [comments]  |
