    Legion 5i vs Asus Rog G15

    I am undecided between these 2 models

    could anyone share his/her opinion, both models are with core-i7 10th, GTX 1660ti, Ram 16 gb, 512 GB SSD.

    I am really interested in thermal issues, will rog also have thermal issues as TUF A15? or will perform better?

    Laptop for university and music production

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:23 PM PST

    I'm going back to uni next year and looking for a new laptop that caters to all of that. Moreover, I wish to record some piano tracks with my digital keyboard. But I want to get further into music production with Ableton/Reason etc. Finally, I have a lot of documents stored over the years that I upload to Google Drive (about 300-500gb), but I also like the idea of having local access to my files.

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

    1000-1200AUD in Australia

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    I may want a good processor in case I want to do some causal gaming? Performance and battery life are important to me, especially as I want to have no issues with music production and use my laptop in class.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not that important.

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

    15"

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

    Maybe some causal gaming, but no specific games come to mind.

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

    Not a high priority.

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

    A keyboard with a numberpad on the right. USB 3. A fast hard drive. Don't care about a finger print reader but I guess it could be cool?

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

    Nothing else comes to mind. Thank you!

    Work laptop

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    £1200, UK

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes, but only with a significant warranty and from the manufacturer.

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

    Build quality > performance, form factor, battery life

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I'd prefer a lighter/thinner laptop but I'm not too worried as long as it's reasonably portable

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

    13-14 inches

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

    Graphical performance is unimportant

    • 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)?

    Build quality is very important. Intel cpus are preferred to AMD.

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

    I use a lot of scientific packages which are far better optimised for Intel than AMD cpus so an AMD cpu would have to be significantly better than its Intel counterpart for me to consider it.

    Looking for a school laptop recommendation

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 03:05 AM PST

    Hey guys! As the title suggests I am looking for a school laptop. Here a the required specs:

    "These devices will be suitable for higher level computing, including Video Editing and CAD: Windows Machines (CAD/Media) – Core i5/Core i7, 8GB Ram, 256 GB HDD, Battery sufficient to last 6 hours on Balanced Power Mode, 64-bit Operating System (WINDOWS 10) Wireless 5Ghz 802.11AC." I would like something that can handle light gaming as i might be getting a nicer pc soon but would like to be able to play LoL/CS:GO while i wait.

    Also, I know a fair bit about PCs but not so much laptops so pls bare with me :)

    Is this a good choice for light gaming?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:48 PM PST

    I don't have a huge budget and this laptop seems okay. The stuff i want to do with it is run minecraft well, and just in general be a good and fast laptop.

    The thing im worried about is that it says it's Windows 10 S, and according to google you can only use things downloaded from the store, which isn't what i want. Is it possible to change this laptop to normal windows 10 and for it to run well on windows 10?

    Help me on decision, razer blade base model (2020) RTX2070 i7-10750 vs ASUS G14 2060 ryzen9-4900?

    Note: Razer is 100£ (140usd roughly) cheaper

    Processor: I know ryzen9 is much better than i7 (30-40%)

    Graphics: but not sure how much RTX2070 is better than RTX2060? ~7% ish?

    Preference: I also prefer quieter laptops during office tasks or web browsing... I have an external monitor so screen wouldn't matter much but a plus, I don't use trackpad either. Speakers might matter a bit.

    Main usage: office suite, editing/exporting videos, playing dota 2 and opening 30 tabs for web browsing

    Welcome to leave your comments please thanks everyone and happy new year 2021.

    Razer or Predator? (Heavily modded Sims games with lots of CC)

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 12:42 AM PST

    I'm looking to play a lot of Sims games with heavy modding/cc. I've been recommended the Predator but it's kind of bulky. I'm open to getting refurbished of either. I can afford Predator new, but a new Razer's out of my price range ($1500 max).

    Leads on trusted sellers are appreciated. Already been screwed over by a "qualified seller" on ebay and I'm a bit wary.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? I would be using the laptop for university and carrying it around, so pretty important (but I want it sturdy ya know?)
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A as long as it's portable
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I do design and digital art so photoshop, Krita, and Corel
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Not a big gamer
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    A laptop for school/software development/light gaming for $1500-2000 AUD?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:32 PM PST

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • **Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:**$1500 - 2000 AUD
    • Are you open to refurbs/used? No
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Form factor, performance, battery life, quality
    • How important is weight and thinness to you? It's going to be a laptop for university so I would want it to be easily carried around, so pretty important.
    • **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.**Probably around 13 inches, max 15. Again, since I want it to be a laptop for school, convenience is pretty important.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Probably League of Legends or Overwatch as games, and I would want to run JetBrains' software which run very slowly on my Surface Pro 4 that I have at the moment. Also, not a software, but I want to connect it to a second monitor, and I'm assuming that would take extra processing power or something (please forgive me for not knowing much about laptops)?
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Probably League of Legends or Overwatch as games, I would want 60 fps at medium settings but I realise it's probably not possible.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Since it would be a school laptop, I would want it to be relatively quiet, since I heard laptops like the Razer Blade are borderline unusable in a lecture because of how loud they can get.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I realise that I'm kind of asking for a perfect laptop that can do everything for a relatively low amount, but I guess I should try anyway just in case. But my gaming PC just died and I would rather buy a new laptop that I could use for school than to fix the PC.

    For comparison, my old PC had an intel i7 2600, a GTX 970 and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and it was perfect for everything I wanted to do. I don't know if that helps, but I have heard that's pretty old for gaming PCs now, but I'm not sure how that compares to modern laptops?

    edit: lol at whoever went through new and downvoted everyone else's posts so theirs gets seen first

    A work and school thin n' light for someone without much of a budget

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:31 PM PST

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE**

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

      RM1000, RM1200 tops. Malaysia.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      Preferably new only.

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

      Ultra book with decent battery life that'll last a day of MS word and Chrome.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      Don't mind if heavy, preferably thin and sleek tho.

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

      13".

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

      No CAD or video editing. The mildest of Photoshop and/or games every now and then.

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

      Dota2 at low settings, 60fps would be nice, as well as Overwatch at low, 30fps. However if it's not possible, that'll be fine too (I already have a desktop).

    • 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 touchpad is a plus, but not a deal-breaker.

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

    I know it's a stretch at this budget and apologies if the budget is just too low, but a laptop for portability and battery life while working and studying when I don't have access to my desktop is currently what I'm looking for. Chromebooks are a huge no tho, as Photoshop is a necessity (along of few other random programs). Replaceable SSD would also be a plus, but again not necessary. Thanks for any help . :)

    Thinkpad P1 vs XPS 17 9700? Please help!

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:30 PM PST

    I need a laptop for programming and novel writing. It needs to be heavy-duty as I would work on it 8 to 12 hours a day. A GPU is not useful for me at all.

    I wonder which one between XPS 17 and P1 has better quality? I would expect my next laptop to last for four to five years. If both are of similar quality, I would probably go with XPS 17 for its bigger screen.

    Are there any defects about the two laptops?

    Please help me to choose between the two. Thanks!

    Looking for a laptop that can do 8K video editing + VR--should I wait until more Intel 11th gen options become available? (Country: US; budget: preferably under $2000 but willing to pay up to $3000)

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:26 PM PST

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $3000 USD but would prefer staying under $2000. US
    • 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 is #1. Battery life is relatively unimportant, as is build quality. Would prefer a laptop that is not 2-in-1. Indifferent when it comes to touch screens. I prefer subdued designs to flashy/futuristic ones that you sometimes see on gaming laptops.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Not very important; would prefer a laptop under 10 lbs.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      Strongly prefer 15" but open to alternatives. Would like a 4K screen but 1920*1080 is also OK
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Yes--I plan to use it for 8K video editing and possibly some Blender/Unreal Engine work (as a hobby, not professionally). I may also use it for data science work in the future depending on where my studies and career go.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Would love to play MS Flight Simulator (2020) in VR at 30+ FPS.
    • 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 prefer having ports built into the laptop so I'm not dependent on dongles. Ethernet, HDMI, USB, AV, and obviously USB ports are all preferred. Would also like some Thunderbolt 4 ports or at least 1+ Thunderbolt 3 port.
      The ability to replace the RAM and hard drive on my own is also useful. I'll probably equip it with a 1- or 2TB SSD and potentially 32+ GB of RAM. (Would like the computer to support 64GB of RAM in case I need that in the future)

      Looking for a laptop that will let me transition into the 8K era. Not sure whether to wait for new 11th gen Intel models to come out next year or to buy something now.
      For now I'm only considering Windows laptops. I'm most familiar with Dell but open to other manufacturers as well.
      Thanks in advance for your advice!

    Laptop for Online Teaching >$800 USD

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:49 PM PST

    LAPTOP QQUESTIONNAIR

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $800, USA

    Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes

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

    How important is weight and thinness you? Semi-important as I anticipate traveling with this computer but I don't want to compromise a lot of performance to prioritize ultra light. I would rather deal with something a bit bulkier that's more reliable.

    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. Youtube, Netflix, Online Classes (must have good camera/microphone as I anticipate teaching English with this computer)

    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)? Must have all the capabilities to offer a good webcam experience

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. This computer is for general use and for teaching. I anticipate being abroad and teaching students virtually on the side, while also pursing a master's online (however master's will be humanities oriented). Therefore, looking for something ideally lighter weight with a decent battery for traveling, but most importantly, something that will give me the ability to do good quality streams with students.

    Thank you so much in advance as I am really not computer savvy so if there is anything else I should take into consideration regarding what I will be using my computer for, please let me know.

    I need something to replace my old iPad and do some light school work on the go. USA $1200 budget is a little flexible

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      Y

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

      It needs a keyboard that folds because I want to use it as a tablet. Battery life is pretty important

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      Really important. I plan on putting it on a bag and carrying it around sometimes.

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

      I'm hoping on the smaller side it has to be portable

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

      N/A

    • 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)?

      Touch screen is a must I will use it as a tablet as well. I'm hoping the screen is good quality since I will use streaming services a lot.

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

      I need something either a tablet or a laptop that can be used for school work so anything that can handle files I feel like IPad OS is not ideal for this that's why I don't want to upgrade to a new iPad. I feel like I need windows or android. My current school work laptop is a 2012 MacBook Pro and it's heavy and bulky. I'm on the fence between the 2-1's, the surfaces, and etc..

    Gaming laptops with Removable Battery?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:45 PM PST

    Are there any decent gaming laptops/laptop capable of mediocre gaming out there with removable batteries? I want to use it as a desktop plugged in 24/7 when I'm home so the removable aspect is a must to me, however, it can be any laptop 2010-2020. Doesn't necessarily have to be a ''gaming'' branded laptop as long as it sports a GTX 980 or up.

    - No specific budget, just nothing $2000+ crazy

    - I'm completely fine with Refurbished

    - Other stipulations would just be preferably i5, 1080p and 8GB minimum. IPS screen if possible. Any size/weight/keyboard etc. laptop is fine sporting those specs.

    Thanks in advance!

    USA $600 - 900 General purpose laptop for graduate school. Some gaming on the side.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:17 PM PST

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: -would like to stay under $900 if possible

    Are you open to refurbs/used? -would prefer new, but I am not completely opposed

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

    How important is weight and thinness to you? -not that important, but it'd be nice to have something on the thinner side

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. -at least 15 in.

    Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. -quite a bit of Video/photo editing. I'll be using a ton of R, a ton of Zoom based classes/meetings, and software for tracking organism movement (EthoVision, toxtrac, etc.), I think the most demanding game would be The Witcher 3

    If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? -I'd like to run the Witcher on somewhat high settings

    Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? -this may not be possible, but it'd be nice to have a disc drive, other than that a good keyboard and good build quality

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. -I'm definitely prioritizing studies over the gaming, and if I could find something that would accommodate the other programs other than games very well at a cheaper price I am all ears.

    I'd like to purchase something very soon, but if I could get a better deal by waiting I do not mind at all.

    Thanks!
