    Are any of these good choices for light gaming?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 09:11 PM PST

    I'm looking for a new laptop on a pretty tight budget. Requirements for the laptop are: run minecraft decently (right now i get around 100 fps). Possibly run GTA V but that's not as important, whereas minecraft is a must. And just generally not be incredibly slow. The laptop i currently have is an Asus X411UA with intel core i5-8250U, but i need a new one because its broken. My current laptop is pretty good but i would like something slightly better/faster.

    I don't really know what to look for in laptops so here are 2 that i found, are any of these good for what i want? If not, do you have any recommendations? (my budget is £300-£400, possibly up to £500)

    ASUS VivoBook F515JA

    What notebook should I buy? (for big data analysis with micro data)

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:08 AM PST

    I have to buy a new PC which I will use mainly for work and therefore to do data analysis with Matlab, STATA and R. Budget less than 1.500 euro and would like to have a configuration with i7/AMD Ryzen + 16gb ram. What do you recommend?

    I've seen the following models, but open for new suggestions as well:

    -ThinkPad T14 (Intel or AMD) around 1.450 euro

    -Thinkpad t490 (Intel) around 1.550 euro

    -LENOVO Thinkpad E15 around 1.350 euro

    -HUAWEI Matebook X Pro around 1.550 euro

    -MSI GF63 around 1.250 euro

    -ASUS ZENBOOK around 1.360 euro

    The ideal notebook should be 15 inches, but since they cost more and I almost always use an external screen, 14 inches is just fine.

    Gaming laptop that replaces my desktop

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 08:08 AM PST

    Hey there, thanks for taking the time to read this.

    I generally think of switching because I tend to go abroad quite alot for my work. I have quite a decent desktop it's a bit old (4y) 1500 euro budget but it runs most games since I got a bad screen. But nonetheless I need something mobile yet powerful enough to put at home when I'm not away.

    I tried scouring the www but I've got no idea honestly.

    Should I wait for next gen cards? Is a change a coming? I got a budget of 2000 euro or more if its worth it.. I'd like a 17 inch screen aswell.

    I don't like rgb lights and stuff but I realise this is the only way sometimes :)

    I'm from Belgium if that helps

    Oh and happy new year!

    Thanks!

    Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 7 vs gen 8 (specific case)

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 06:31 PM PST

    Hi folks.

    I am debating between a x1 carbon gen 7 and a gen 8. Their information is as follows:

    Gen 7: UHD screen; ~1610 CAD; i7-8665U

    Gen 8: FHD screen; ~1330 CAD; i5-10210U

    (The rest of their specs are essentially the same.)

    The gen 8 laptop is current out of stock. I would like to know which one you recommend if I am a fan of high resolution screens. Thank you.

    Cheap windows laptop for work

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 06:08 PM PST

    Total budget and country of purchase: Under $600 in the United States (not concrete)

    Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Best specifications for the money. Good battery life would be nice but is not essential.

    How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight and thinness are not important to me. But I'd rather it be thick and powerful, if I had to make the tradeoff.

    Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A I'll generally be hooking it up to two other large monitors.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No gaming, but I need to run large data sets and programs such as Excel, ArcGIS and STATA.

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Specs are really the most important thing for me, with maybe reliable build quality coming in second.

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Only big things are at least 16 gigs of ram and large, reliable storage (516+).

    Daily Work Use (Mostly Office 365 / NetDocs) - Budget No Concern

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:53 PM PST

    I haven't bought a new laptop since 2013 (MacBook Air). Heading into the new year and new remote work environment (including Court hearings), I should probably invest in something decent. As the title says, I mostly use applications such as Word for document formatting and Outlook for email, all within the Office 365 environment. There are also a few work specific applications, like NetDocs, I will use for document management and accessing files.

    need a replacement gaming laptop that i can also use for school

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 10:29 PM PST

    My current laptop is falling apart (literally and metaphorically) and it's starting to struggle with a lot of even common tasks. I figure it's time to upgrade, as my 970m is becoming more and more obsolete.

    I need a numpad and a webcam at the top of the screen. I would very much like a 2070/2060 but can go lower if a laptop has other things. I'd like good battery life as I plan on bringing this to classes. Weight isn't too important. I've never experienced a smooth screen at 144hz or 240hz so that'd be nice. Build quality should be really good. I live in the US and my budget is up to $1500.

    Essentially looking for a great quality laptop that isnt dedicated solely to gaming as I need it to have good battery life and performance for university, but I wanna run low level games. (Hoping this is actually a possibility). Price is not the biggest concern here

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Gaming + Light Image/Video Editing Laptop | $900 - $1300 | USA

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:49 PM PST

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $1300 is pretty much my upper limit, may be able to stretch the budget if it means a significant leap in quality/performance.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      I'm currently using a refurbed Lenovo T420, which arrived still broken, so I feel weary of taking in another refurbished or used laptop for now.

    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
    1. Build quality is priority, I'd love a laptop that can last me at least 3-4 years.
    2. Performance is a very close second.
    3. ...
    4. ...
    5. ...
    6. Battery life is a far lower priority than points 1 & 2, but would still be nice.
    7. Nice keyboard.
    8. Thickness, weight, etc.
    9. ...
    10. ...

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Not very important compared to quality and performance.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      Ideally 16"+, but 15" is fine.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I'll be using photo editing software and potentially some video editing software. Programs I'll use are Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Sony Vegas Pro.

    I'll also be gaming, playing Dota 2, LoL, WoW, ARK, PUBG, Divinity 2, Battlefield.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Again, I'd like to be playing games like Dota 2, LoL, WoW, ARK, PUBG, Divinity 2, Battlefield. IDEALLY, I'd like to play these games with medium-high to high specs, with 60FPS. I don't know how realistic this is with the budget I have on a laptop, I guess that's why I'm here writing this.

    • 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 is important, though not as important when it comes to cosmetic components. As long as the laptop still runs well, I don't mind losing a button or a loosened hinge.

    Apart from the build quality, a good keyboard is something that would be nice.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      To summarize, I'd like to buy my laptop knowing it will last me a solid 3-4 years, and in that time I'll be able to play most games on decent settings.

    Laptop for daily use, with focus on drawing/ 3d modeling

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:34 PM PST

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

    I have 1000K mmk (so thats 750 usd. I'm in Myanmar)

    • 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; build quality; form factor; battery life

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not important. No plans to take it out of the house. I don't know how thinness/ lightness translates to sturdiness but I would prefer it if it was durable than light.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Not less than 15 preferably (because that's what I've gotten used to)

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

    I want to run drawing programs (Photoshop/Clip studio paint), do light weight video editing, and store a heck ton of anki decks. Also run Blender. Nothing too intensive like animating tho. Just modeling and sculpting. Sooo has to be windows.

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

    Nothing heavy- maybe visual novels for learning a language

    • 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 typing experience would be nice. No touch screen or detachable stuff or anything.

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

    I'm not in the US/ UK/ India like other asks but I could really use suggestions so if you could point me to something that'd meet my needs I'd be grateful

    search for everyday laptop, Netherlands,€550 max

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:33 PM PST

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

    €550 is the max

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      absolutely!

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

    its very important that ill be able to run Adobe programs (like Photoshop and Indesign which i use almost everyday) since i am an art student and do alot if illustration work. the battery life isn't that much of a priority but i'd be great if i didn't have to plug it in every 3 hours. the most important thing for me is the screen quality and being able to run programs smoothly.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    i don't care about either of those, if anything i like chunkier laptops more

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

    13 inch or above is preferred, nothing under that

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

    I play League a couple times a week mostly use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, XD sometimes After effects and Premiere as well as the standard Office 365 programs like Teams, Word, Powerpoint etc.

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

    I only really play League of Legends but as long as it just runs okay i don't have an issue with it it's not a priority

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

    I'd prefer a backlit keyboard if that is possible but for the rest i only need Usb-a inputs, a headphone jack and i'm good.

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

    For me as i've mentioned before it's really important to me that the colors on the screen are as accurate as i can get, seeing that i do illustration work, and that i can run maybe a couple programs at the same time without a laptop almost exploding in my face.

    thank u in advance!
