    MSI GS66 (RTX2060) vs XPG Xenia (1660Ti - same as MAG15)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 07:38 PM PST

    I was about to buy XPG Xenia with 1660Ti (same as eluktronics Mag-15) but then I noticed that MSI GS66 with RTX2060 had a huge discount.

    There are some things I like about the Xenia. ~0.5lb lighter, magnesium chassis, keyboard is semi mechanical, i think it looks slightly better, 1tb ssd, 1 extra usb port. GS66 has rtx2060, the same class cpu but 1 generation newer (i7-10750H vs i7-9750H), and of course $150 cheaper.

    What wisdom do you have for me?

    Portable Laptop, <$900 USD, USA

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:16 PM PST

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $900 USD, cheaper is better ofc
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      Yes! Also happy to do simple upgrades like increase RAM.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      I want something to last me for as long as possible, so durability is probably most important. Battery life of 7 hrs or more would be awesome. No need for touchscreen or flex.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Anything around 3lbs (1.4kg) or less is fine. Thinness is not important.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      12-14"
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Only simple older games like Root, Age of Empires, and Total War
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      I'm fine running at lowest settings
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      I'm a klutz, so it should be sturdy. Fingerprint reader unnecessary, IR facial sensors not wanted. Headphone jack absolutely necessary. USB-C and regular USB should be available. HDMI or SD card slots are pluses. Keyboard should have a normal USA English layout.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      Would love a laptop that works well with Linux like Pop!_OS. System76 computers are a bit out of my price range though

    Gaming and university laptop

    Posted: 01 Feb 2021 02:35 AM PST

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: 3000BND - Brunei. This budget is flexible but I would very much prefer to stay underneath it. I'm aware most probably haven't even heard of Brunei, I dont mind US prices for 2500USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Prefferably not they are hard to find here

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

    I'm mostly looking for performance battery life and long term use. With the long term being most important, hopefully a laptop that can last me until end of university (4 years)

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all

    Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Not really, I have a slight preference for bigger screens though

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

    Gaming - Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, I quite like open world games. I enjoy fps like csgo and R6 as well but Id think if it can run open world it can run fps games.

    Programming - I use mainly python and C languages and am hoping to go into game development

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

    At least 60fps, 1080p and high /ultra settings though if it's asking too much for the price I'm fine with mid as well

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

    Good keyboard quality would be preffered

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

    If possible Im looking for a i7 10th generation (AMD equivalent is fine too), 16GB of RAM and RTX 2070 Thanks!

    Laptop for studying Data Analyst

    Posted: 01 Feb 2021 04:10 AM PST

    Hello, my sister is going to study a Data Analyst course and she needs a new laptop. I don't know much about what softwares that DA needs but I'm assuming it's all about Python, R, SQL and Excel. I shortlisted two laptops:

    • Dell Inspiron 5502: ~ 1350 A$
      • Intel i7 1165G7 4 cores 8 threads
      • 16GB RAM
      • 1TB SSD
    • Dell Inspiron 5005: ~ 1050 A$
      • AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 8 cores 8 threads
      • 8GB RAM
      • 512GB SSD

    The main difference is Ryzen and Intel CPU that I don't know which is better for those aforementioned softwares. Which one should I buy?

    Thank you very much.

    Gaming laptop or productivity laptop

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:36 PM PST

    Hi guys, a week or so my laptop suddenly died, and I'm looking for a new one. My old laptop was a Lenovo y400, it didn't work for gaming anymore, but the i7 and the nvidia 750m really helped me getting through college. I'm a casual gamer, I don't play that much anymore, but when I do, I like AAA games such as warzone. Also, I'm a engineer, and I'm specializing in CAD software like Solidworks, Inventor, Catia and Nx. I'm looking for a laptop that can handles those CAD programs above (I'm a medium lever user), and some gaming, I don't mind graphics that much. With everything in mind, I have two options right now, buying the MSI GS66 10SE from Best buy for 1099 USD or getting the Asus Zenbook, which has an Nvidia Mx350 for 599 USD. I don't know if the Asus will be enough for CAD software as well some light gaming, or if the MSI would be an overkill for what I need. I'd rather save some money if I can. Either way I would be selling my ps4, so any game I'd like to play would be on the laptop. P.S. I need mobility, so a PC is not an option.

    $1600 AUD, Australia

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:29 PM PST

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • **Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:**$1600 AUD, Australia.
    • **Are you open to refurbs/used?**It depends on how much the laptop has been used previously, or else no.
    • **How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?**I'm not too sure on this, I'd want a laptop with decent battery life since university is the only main times it won't be plugged in for extended periods of time. Performance is the main thing I'm looking out for.
    • **How important is weight and thinness to you?**Somewhat important, I may end up using this for university but it'll be in a bag anyway. Shouldn't be too big of a problem regardless.
    • **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.**Minecraft and Terraria are the main games I'll be playing on this laptop. But of course, I may expand my horizons to other games IF my laptop is able to handle them. But Terraria and Minecraft are the main ones for now.I will also use this laptop for university work. I study IT at the moment so some programming and other applications necessary, shouldn't matter too much but here you go just incase.
    • **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?**Minecraft (Modded too so FPS/performance can be heavy) - 120 fps with no mods, may drop depending on mods installed. Shaders is NOT included in this requirement.Terraria - Same as Minecraft, just need it to run at about at a stable 60 fps at max resolution or more depending on mods installed which may be performance heavy.
    • **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?**Not really, this isn't a strict requirement, so feel free to ignore, but if the keyboard can be NOT red, that'd be ideal. I notice some laptop keyboards have red and red isn't my favourite colour. But who cares really.
    • **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.**Just wanted to stress again that the laptop doesn't have to be an amazing gaming PC, not trying to run GTA, Cyberpunk or anything. I just want to be able to run Minecraft and Terraria extremely well, but that's really it.
      Thanks in advance! (Sorry for repost, I had adjusted the budget)

    Acer Nitro 5 vs Asus TUF fx505

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:47 PM PST

    Would like to hear some opinions regarding the better choice between Acer Nitro 5 vs Asus TUF fx505. I will use it for some light work stuff and gaming in general.

    Ryzen 5 3550H + GTX 1650 is the specs for both laptops. Since they have pretty much the same specs, what do you think would one make it better than the other (in terms of display, keyboard, cooling, durability, etc)? Some pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.

    Laptop for School and Entertainment

    Posted: 01 Feb 2021 04:39 AM PST

    Hello, I am looking for a budget laptop (600 USD) is my budget, though I am flexible.

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    I will need it for school mostly and what I'm looking for is a 15 inch laptop with a good screen, good battery preferably and for it to be portable and modern looking. I'll be happy to hear any suggestions.

    To be clear, I am not looking for refurbed/used products

    I live in Israel

    I might also do some photo editing on Lightroom and I would also like to have the option to edit videos on Sony Vegas if I need to.

    As I've mentioned I'm looking for a portable laptop for school so weight and thinness is very important to me.

    A touch screen isn't necessary but I'm open to suggestions anyway

    I will likely not be gaming on it since my budget won't get any crazy specs, though if it could run minecraft decently that would be nice and overwatch as well though I realise that is probably a bit fat fetched :)

    The laptop I've been looking at lately is the Asus Vivobook 15

    Something I like about this laptop is how it has the Ergolift hinge feature and the backlit keyboard, I also heard it has a matte finish on its screen which apparently helps with viewing angles? If anyone could clarify whether this actually works that would be great.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086QZSLDH/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

    I love how it has slim bezzels and it seems to have pretty promising specs as well, any opinions on this laptop/suggestions about other laptops will be greatly appreciated :)

    Gaming laptop for around $500

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 07:46 PM PST

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

    A: $500, but I can go a little over.

    Q: Are you open to refurbs/used?

    A: Yes.

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

    A: The only thing I really care about here is battery life. I guess 3-4 hours is fine. As for performance, I won't be playing the most advanced games, but I'll address that further below. No Macs.

    Q. How important is weight and thinness to you?

    A: Not at all.

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

    A: At least 12 inches. I'm mostly going to be connecting it to my TV anyways.

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

    A: Adobe Premiere pro, Microsoft word/powerpoint/etc.

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

    A: I'd like to emulate up to anything up to gen 6 plus Wii with no lag. The most advanced PC games I'm looking to play are Minecraft, Fallout: NV, valve classics like Half Life, Sims 3, and I'd like to try the Dark Souls games on PC for the mods, but I don't know if that's unreasonable. Oh, I'd also like to try Phasmophobia, if possible. I don't play a lot of games put out by big companies. I like Indies and classics, so I don't need anything too advanced, I think. The lowest FPS I think I could go would be around 20, but 30 is more preferable. I'm not too picky.

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

    A: It needs an HDMI port so I can hook it to my Roku TV .

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

    A: I don't think I have any. Thanks in advance!

    Opinion about Acer Aspire 5, i5, 1 TB SSD, 8 GB RAM?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2021 03:22 AM PST

    I'm curious to know what people think of this Acer Aspire 5 with 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, i5. There are many five star reviews but also a number of one star reviews. The cost is £680 which is $930 (USD).

    The specs are exactly what I need and I know that Acer and Aspire is a popular brand and make. I'm just wary of the negative reviews for what - for me - is quite an expensive laptop.

    Budget laptop for Linux

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 03:32 PM PST

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

      USD$450 or lower

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

      yes!

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

      Looking for something slim with around an 8-9 hour battery

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

      Farily important due to the fact I'll be carrying another laptop with me (a primary work laptop)

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

      I really like 14" but not opposed to a 13

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

      Want something fairly decent that'll run various forms of linux well. Was looking at old Thinkpads but I really can't stand how 90% of them for sale are only 1366x768 screens. 1080p is a necessity for me.

    Student laptop recommendations aus?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2021 12:24 AM PST

    Okay i wont lie im not a very techy kinda person and my current laptop is this old and very loud Toshiba which i love, it can play dvds but its huge and not very practical.

    Looking for something that can run windows, can last me through the last year of high school and going into uni, i basically just need something that can do word and run some adobe premiere with good storage. Idm spending a bit but nothing over $1000? If thats reasonable

    Engineering ~$3k

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 08:20 PM PST

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    $3000 USD (this is not my money. It's the university's money that comes with my scholarships specifically for buying a computer. I can't get the difference in cash, so there is no benefit to my saving any of it. Might as well spend all 3k or close to it)

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    Touchscreen would be nice but not a dealbreaker without

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Nothing crazy thick

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

    13in min probably more around 15-16in preferred

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

    AutoCAD for my engineering classes, Minecraft, really large excel files for data work

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

    Just a bit of minecraft but I'm not too picky about any game stuff

    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 would be nice but not a deal breaker without

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

    Like I said I really might as well spend all 3k. I like apple products because it would sync well with my phone and iPad but also I know AutoCAD runs better on PC so I'm kinda undecided. Maybe I could try some sort of dual boot? My bf has a Lenovo and I don't know anything about those either but they look nice. Any advice helps!

    Future accounting/finance student would a new MacBook Air work? Budget $1000

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:08 PM PST

    I've been looking at the new MacBook Air or something like the xps 13. I have used a mac the last 4 years of high school and like them a lot but I am wondering if there is a better laptop for the money and if I should use windows instead of mac in college. I also do not intend on doing much gaming on this machine
