    Entertainment/Coding Laptop

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST

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

    600€/Germany

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    For me the most important is performance

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Thinness would be nice

    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 editing. Probably 50% coding, 40% streaming and rest gaming ( light gaming / esport titles )

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

    CSGO above 100 is fine

    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 just like a good keyboard and a decent screen

    Thanks for any help

    New Laptop Antivirus and transfer of files.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST

    I just bought a laptop at best buy with the Webroot antivirus. I'm setting it up and noticed that Mcafee LiveSafe comes installed. Is it an antivirus as well? Should I uninstall it?

    Also, I bought the HP Spectre x360 and totally forgot that it does not have the Ethernet port and that was my idea of transferring files at first but does anyone know any other method to transfer my files from old laptop?

    Which 2021 laptops have the fn+arrow keys mapped to home/end?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:22 PM PST

    Hi folks!

    I have a Dell XPS 15 that I'm looking to replace this year, but to my dismay I've found that the new XPS's have the home/end keys moved up to the top of the keyboard, rather than using fn+leftkey or fn+rightkey, which is a dealbreaker for me as a software developer.

    I've been searching the web for alternatives, but I have yet to come across any (premium) models from 2020 or 2021 that have this keyboard layout.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    8 core i7 + rtx2060 or 6core i7 + rtx2070 laptop?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 07:07 AM PST

    I'm trying to buy a gaming/video editing laptop before Beijing goes back into lockdown. I've got a range of options but basically to fit in my budget I'm going to have to balance between better cpu and a better graphics card.

    I'm seeing combos of i7-10870h with rtx2060 cards but if I want an rtx2070 I need to drop down to an i7-10750h.

    I'm also hoping to add a vr headset later this year.

    What should I do? Does it kinda just balance out? Am I really going to use 8 cores?

    Best Laptop that compliments iPad Pro???

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:15 PM PST

    HELP!! I don't know chit about laptops so i'm coming to reddit for help. I'm a college student and considering
    buying a laptop. Right now I have had a iPad Pro since August, and it's been working great for online school. I use it for meetings, work, and leisure and so far I have no complaints. I have an HP laptop that's old as hell (don't even know it's name) and it's super bulky, about 1.5 inches thick or so and very slow. I am looking to replace this. Not looking for anything specifically, I just want a laptop that will be compatible/compliment my ipad pro.

    TLDR: What laptop do you recommend? Windows v Apple? What model? I have an iPad Pro, looking for compatibility. (I know nothing about laptops)

    Not sure how to pick a compatible hard drive

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 01:51 PM PST

    I have an Acer Predator Helios 300 which was listed as follows when purchased:

    Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7-9750H, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 15.6" Full HD 144Hz Display, 3ms Response Time, 16GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, RGB Backlit Keyboard, PH315-52-710B

    It does not come with a lot of memory- but it does have a space for an internal hard drive (or external, ofc)

    I am having trouble figuring out what hard drive to purchase as I have limited understanding of computer specs. I just don't want something incompatible that may corrupt, or may cause more harm than good to my machine. Can anyone kindly offer insight on what to look out for, or recommendations? :)

    Cpu: 4800h Gpu: 1660ti RAM: 32gb 3200mhz SSD: 1 tb Display: 140hz

    I like it and have not come across any issues, but as the return date approaches and rtx3000 mobile coming soon, I have been debating if i should return and get an rtx laptop, because i feel in a year or two when i am ready to resell I will be able to get a higher return..

    Option 1 is a Powerspec 1530(open box): Cpu: 10875h Gpu: 2070super Max P Ram: 32gb 3200mhz Ssd: 1tb Display: 240hz OS: Win10 pro Price: $1317.96 plus tax (us)

    Battery problem with a HP 255 G7 r3

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:50 PM PST

    Hello guys. I bought the HP 255 G7 (with the ryzen 3 2200u for its cpu) one year ago. I have been using this laptop for everyday stuff (youtube, movies, facebook etc...). From time to time i have been checking its battery life with various methods and until a couple days ago my battery health was above 90%. But i checked today again and i noticed something that freaked me out. My battery health is sitting at 18.1% ONLY. How did this happen? I read online that i should calibrate my battery but i dont know how. Should i replace my battery ? Also how can i lose almost all my battery health in just one year of use only?

    Keep getting 'Windows didn't load correctly' screen of death when my laptop goes to sleep

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:36 PM PST

    Brand new Dell XPS 17, have noticed this happening three times so far. Every time I had left the room for several minutes and when I came back I was greeted by automatic recovery with the 'Windows didn't load correctly' message. As every single time I've seen this happen has been after I haven't touched the computer for a while, I assume it has something to do with my laptop going to sleep. Mind you, when I come back the screen is not black and the message does not appear when I attempt to wake it, but rather it looks like something is failing while it's attempting to enter sleep mode. Have lost my work several times because of this and am now very paranoid. Help!

    Is Asus discontinuing the Zephyrus S15 and S17 models?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:18 PM PST

    I didn't see them get a refresh this CES and so I'm wondering if this is normal for Asus or other companies to not showcase all their eggs at once.

    Will they get refreshed later this year? Was And is Asus not showcasing everything par for the course among these CES shows? I would really appreciate any info, guys.

    What is the maximum fps a 1650 Ti can run if I connect it to an external monitor with, say, 120 hz? Or is it stuck at 60 fps?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 11:54 AM PST

    Edit: Right now I am running at 4k. Would turning down the graphics change anything?

    Was it dumb to not wait buying new pc?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 11:47 AM PST

    Am I dumb for bying a new laptop with these specs right before the 3k-series will be available?

    Rtx 2070, i7-9750H, 16GB Ram, M.2 1TB ssd, 144hz screen

    Total cost for me was 1880$

    Reason I ordered it was that I dont have much time to wait before Im travelling for work and might not be able to get the hand of it before april some times then. I mostly play multiplayer shooter games and battleroyales like Warzone. Wont this spec last for atleast 3 years with those kinda games? Im not a singleplayer type of guy, and games like Cyberpunk and GTA never caught my attention anyways.

    I am not a tech person so i do not know about the connections very well. I bought a new monitor (2560x1440) which has hdmi 1.4 and displayport 1.2 input.

    Dont know which laptop to buy, help!

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:32 AM PST

    I want to buy a laptop for software like CAD (Solidworks/ANSYS and such) which requires a laptop with load intensive graphics card and processor but I don't know which laptop would be good for it. I've heard people say that a gaming laptop would be a to-go solution for this but I don't know about that as well. Help!

    My budget is 1000-1500$

    Laptop isn’t turning on

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:32 AM PST

    I had my laptop in my backpack when it was around 20F out for around 11 hours overnight. I then brought it in next morning and since I already knew my battery was dead, plugged it in to use the laptop off of my charger and it was starting up normal and then suddenly all power cut. I have tried everything and it won't turn on now. Any help or suggestions outside of getting a new laptop would be awesome!

    I have an old MSI GE62 Apache Pro that I don’t need. What to do with it?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:29 AM PST

    I just bought a G 14 Zephyrus And I now have no need for this piece of shit laptop that I've had for five years now. It overheats on YouTube and it only has a 960 M graphics card. The only thing worth extracting is a Samsung 970 1 TB SSD that I installed a few years ago. Is there any chance I could resell this thing, or should I just take it to the trash?
