    Laptop for Skype conversations

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 02:01 AM PST

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase.

    Netherlands. 500 euro's. If there is a steal of a deal i would go to max 600 euro's.

    Are you open to refurbs/used?
    Yes

    How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
    The laptop will be standing on one and the same table always on the charger when used. So the only key components are camera and performance to atleast be able to use skype for the upcoming 5 years.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?
    No importance at all

    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.
    Skype and Teamviewer for me so i can help her out when things go wrong.

    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)?
    Reasonable camera for calls on Skype

    Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
    I bought a laptop +-5 years ago for this same reason, but that was a laptop i bought on a whim. No research just the basic needs. That laptop was also from a third party because i can't recall the name. It had 2GB ram and the laptop is basically to old for Skype. I think the 5 years above should be doable with a quality laptop from a reputable brand.

    Also sorry for my bad English. I'm not a native speaker.

    Long-lasting uni laptop, maximum $1200 AUD

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 04:22 AM PST

    Hello! My old chromebook is seriously failing me and can't deal with Zoom at all, so I'm looking for a relatively lightweight laptop to take on campus/ commute with that has a high battery life. Currently eyeing the HP Envy 13 from the online store (11th Gen i5, 256 GB SSD, 51 Wh battery) which comes just below budget with a student discount, but I'd like to know of any better alternatives before I commit!

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    $1200 AUD maximum, Australia

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes but preferably new.

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

    Battery life > performance > build quality > form factor ? Battery is #1 but it needs to handle many tabs / zoom / multiple apps at once :')

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Pretty important as I'm looking for something lighter than my gaming laptop; below 2kg is a must.

    • 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.

    Not foreseeing much (that couldn't be done at home), any gaming would be casual/lightweight, Caves of Qud level probably?? In other words not a concern

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

    No specific settings/FPS, would like to have at least an i5 or AMD equivalent for good performance tho.

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

    Finger-print reader would be nice but not required, same for backlit keyboard.

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

    Any experience with HP Envy 13 / ordering direct from HP? I've seen..mixed reviews..

    Would also like to stick to Windows as the OS :)

    Looking for a workstation with good build quality

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 02:51 AM PST

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

    €1750 ~ €2250 The Netherlands

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes

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

    A workstation with good build quality. Doesnt have to be superfast, just fast enough to work in CAD and play some games. Im thinking of i7-10750H, Quadro T1000 and 16GB RAM. Battery life is not important because it's 95% of the time plugged in.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I am a big boy now, so weight is not an issue.

    Do you have a preferred screen size?

    15,6. I have a 4k 28" monitor.

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

    AutoCad, Revit, Sketchup, Chrome

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

    CS:GO, i'm okay with medium setting

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

    Just good overal build quality. Dont need a touch-screen. Must have a num-pad.

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

    I was searching for a fast notebook within my budget that I can also use in the office. 95% of these are gaming laptops which are not representable in the office. So I came across the MSI Creator 17 with very good specs (i7-10875H and RTX 2060) and a great 4K display. I've had it with for a week. I returned it because I didnt like the build quality and when I did work with 3D models, it became very hot and the fans made a lot of noice. So for now I'm thinking about getting a real workstation. I'm doubting between the following models:

    HP ZBook Fury 15 G7

    Lenovo Thinkpad P15

    Dell Precision 7550

    ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro

    Can you guys give me advice about which one to get? I'm leaning towards the HP Zbook...

    Gaming/School laptop under 2000 CAD

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 05:19 PM PST

    Not looking for anything too crazy I just need a laptop for school but I also want to be able to play games like Valorant, strategy games like civ and maybe some Halo. From battery life I would want it to last a bit longer than a school day so at least 6 maybe 7 hours. First time buying a gaming laptop so I'm really not sure what to expect out of battery life I hope that's not asking for too much. Price is flexible somewhat but I do want a relatively inexpensive laptop.

    All help and suggestions are appreciated.

    Suggest A Laptop for Graphic Design and Video Editing. (Run Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premier Pro, Blender, etc. )

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 12:31 AM PST

    For context, my current devices are a Dell Inspiron 15 3567 and an iMac desktop. The Inspiron 15 3567 is a decent laptop but these are the concerns that make it unsuitable for graphic design:
    Display - The display is extremely washed out or dull, the colours all seem desaturated. I've tried changing the display settings, adjusting the gamma, everything but I've been told that this is all the current display is capable of.
    Performance - It handles Photoshop and Illustrator averagely and I've been too scared to run After Effects, FCPX and Premier Pro on it. Smaller files are not much of a problem but can sometimes be laggy, larger files cause the programs to crash often which is what I can't have. Due to this, I use my desktop, the iMac for most of my designing but since I share it with 3 other people and I need a suitable laptop for a new graphic design job, I'm now looking to upgrade from the Inspiron 3567.
    Weight - At 2.2 Kgs its quite heavy and gets difficult to carry around.

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      Budget: INR 40,000 - INR 60,000 Country of purchase: India (Amazon, other reliable online stores, Physical Stores etc.)
    • 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> Battery Life> Build Quality. Considering the illustration and design aspect, a 2-in-1 would be great but it's not a strict requirement since I also use a Wacom (without display).
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Lightweight is preferred, thinness is N/A
    • 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.
      Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premier Pro, Blender, etc. (often require running Photoshop & Illustrator at the same time)
    • 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)?
      If the budget permits - touchscreen, fingerprint reader would be great but not a strict requirement.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      This sub is a godsend and I really appreciate all of you taking the time to share your knowledge and advice!
      I'm a noob when it comes to laptop specs and a lot of tech in general but still quite enthusiastic about learning so feel free to school me if I've made any mistakes, but please go easy lol xD

    Artist geared laptop

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 06:21 PM PST

    Hiyo, I'm not super tech-literate but I know the basics. I've watched tons of vids but still don't know where to start. I'd like some help picking out a laptop for my needs or at least some help to know the kinds of specs to look for, where to look, etc. Im looking for something upgradable, that'll last me a long time but can be improved if things go out of date.

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

    US, 1-1.5k USD

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes but would prefer new

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

    Priorities in order form most to least important: performance, build quality, battery, form factor

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    not that much

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

    Something large around 16"

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

    I want something that can handle most powerful creative software. Photoshop, digital art, gimp etc.

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

      At leastt 60fps. If it can handle the editing/art software, it'll handle most games. no games in mind at the moment but I'm not upset if i have to compromise on the game quality sometimes.

    • 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 has to be at least decent, touch screen is preferred, but the keyboard has to be A1 and backlit. idk what an optical drive is or what its good for plz enlighten me Also the screen neeedss to be good and color accurate.

    also 120hz refresh rate would be nice.

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

    srryy for not knowing many of the terms or if this isnt specific enough. feel free to ask me to specify or change stuff, im new to this
