No - How would you prioritize form factor, build quality, performance, and battery life?
Performance - build quality - battery life - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
At least 15 inch - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Yes. Games like genshin impact, little nightmares, valorant, phasmophobia, mmorpg games, resident evil, detroit becomes human. typically leaning on video games! Drawing: adobe programs like photoshop, adobe premiere, then clip studio paint, 3d render..etc - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Genshin impact, little nightmares, valorant, at least 60 fps if that makes sense. not knowledgeable in techs sorry - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Good keyboard (backlit pls), finger print (optional), optical drive and good input devices - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion
Overall I want a laptop that can offer good performance when video editing, rendering, 3d blending and smooth gaming experience with nice graphic quality it doesn't have to be the BEST Would be nice for sleek design, Im not a fan for bulky looking laptops but I can consider. (Optional) rgb lights pls or anything that has backlit keyboard idc as long it is something that I can stare at while Im having a mental breakdown LMAO Also good amount of storage for my files pls submitted by /u/sugarcubiie [link] [comments] |
| LF advice on laptop for watching stuff while in bed Posted: 24 Mar 2021 12:55 AM PDT Hey everyone, it's that time again: my current laptop broke and I need a new one. The laptop will 100% exclusively be used in bed to watch netflix and whatnot, no gaming, no office work etc. Because of this I was thinking that maybe a tablet might be better but I feel like they would just tip over constantly while on a not so stable surface (=bed)? I had an HP laptop for about 500 bucks iirc but it was an absolute piece of shit to be honest and completely turned me off of HP. The quality was atrocious (plastic) and the display sucked as well. That one was my bad, I guess I didn't properly research what I was buying. That's why I'm here now. Many many years earlier (think like 2011ish) I had a Sony Vaio and that thing was amazing. Way sturdier and the display was great. Alas, no more Sony laptops. Anyway, what I am looking for: solid quality, ideally not plastic. especially important: quality of the display attachment to the base of the laptop (no idea how to describe it better, not a native speaker). My last laptop broke because the hinge joint (is that the word?) loosened from the base. Again, fuck HP. a good IPS display. My "perfect world" display would be a macbook one. solid quality keyboard, but that's rather optional. not much typing will be done on this one. budget: well this is a tough one. "as cheap as reasonably possible" but below 800$ I'd say. It really depends on the arguments. Like honestly, I hate apple with a passion (mostly hate the iphone though) but I've always been a fan of macbooks because of the display, battery life and overall quality. The prices are insane though and I don't need that much processing power at all. Well that's it. Thanks to everyone in advance for their help! submitted by /u/cocomoloco [link] [comments] |

| [USA] Durable and reliable daily use laptop for Python programming and casual gaming <$800 Posted: 23 Mar 2021 10:45 AM PDT LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$800 (can push to $850 if needed) EDIT: Willing to bump up to $1000 to consider additional options. - Are you open to refurbs/used?
- How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
- Build Quality and Performance are top priorities. Form factor and battery life does not matter.
- How important is weight and thinness to you?
- Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
- Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
- Older Steam games and maybe some occasional Minecraft and Rocket League.
- If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
- Low to mid settings are fine as long as FPS is solid and stable. Just older Steam games and perhaps the occasional Rocket League/Minecraft (again, low to mid settings are fine as long as the performance is stable).
- 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 for the laptop model is a must, and a good IPS screen + backlit keyboard are very nice to have. I do not care about optical drive, touchpad, or fingerprint reader. I am looking for a laptop that will last me a long time.
- Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
- Security is also important - I do not want to consider Lenovo laptops for this reason. I would strongly prefer a reliable, good build quality USA-based manufacturer (likely Dell or HP, but definitely open to other options such as Asus, etc.). Open to other brands if the build quality of the model is very good (though no Macs). Also, good cooling/thermals is strongly preferred.
EDIT: Some tweaks to formatting, increased budget, removed CPU preference submitted by /u/throwaway_762 [link] [comments] |

not too important but shouldnt be too heavy - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
around 15" - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
generally some photoshop work and light gaming (indie games, path of exile etc), else mainly general use. - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
see above - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

| Frontend web development, Docker, Dual 4k external monitors Posted: 24 Mar 2021 02:08 AM PDT - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
I'd estimate up to around £1,500 in the UK (my new employer will be purchasing and I've been told I can choose my own setup) - Are you open to refurbs/used?
No - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
It's essential that I can use two external 4k monitors (at 60hz) and it should not struggle with typical programming tasks (my current Dell XPS 9560 with WSL2 chugs along when spinning up local dev environments). Good battery life would be useful and I'd like it to have a premium feel. - How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not particularly important. - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
I'd say between 13 - 15. - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I'll likely be using Figma (or something similar) regularly. - 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)?
A good keyboard & touchpad is high on the priority list and I've found a fingerprint reader to be useful (facial recognition might be even better). Not interested in touch screen, again the XPS I have has one and I hardly use it. Definitely want reliable build quality. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I'd originally thought one of the new M1 macs would be my next laptop, though I've read that they don't support dual external monitors which is a shame. I will likely be working with Docker too and I'm not how well it's supported on ARM. I'll be working on Node.js applications with React.js / Next.js. submitted by /u/Motor-Bowl-6774 [link] [comments] |
| [GER] laptop for gaming, programing and photo editing | 2500€/3000$ Posted: 24 Mar 2021 01:54 AM PDT Hey, since my current laptop is almost six years old, I want to upgrade to a new one. Right now, I only have experience with XMG models. Preferable, I want a laptop that is good for gaming and can last a few years, but does not look like a gaming laptop, since I will take it with me often. Also build quality is important for me this time. I've been looking into some laptops the last few days and came up with two, that fit my expectation. The Razer Blade 15 Advance with a i7-10875H , 15.6" QHD, 240 Hz display and RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. The Asus Rog Zephyrus G15 wiht a Ryzen 9 5900HS, QHD display and RTX 3070. These two laptops fit my needs. I wanted to ask you guys, if you think they are good for their price and if not, if you have any other suggestions for me.

Ive basically narrowed it down to models in the vein of the Macbook air ($1500) and Asus Zephyrus G14 ($2250). I feel like the Zephyrus may be the way to go for compatibility and graphic performance but I'd like some confirmation that the added cost is worth it over the MacBook.

| Canada / $2000-$2500 - Ultrabook that's not Dell XPS Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:13 PM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$2000-$2500 in Canada Are you open to refurbs/used?
No How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Very high - ultrabook/premium feel is a must, no touchscreen or 2-in-1, great build quality and solid performance. Will mostly be used around the house so battery life isn't crucial. How important is weight and thinness to you?
Very - I'd like a laptop with a premium feel 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.
Some light gaming and photo editing If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Some MMOs (Star Wars: The Old Republic) on low graphics, Super Giant games, Tabletop Sim Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
SSD, small bezels, Windows OS, "future-proof" as much as possible Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I have a new Dell XPS 13 currently but am extremely disappointed with the webcam and some screen issues. If I'm paying ~$2000 for a premium laptop, I want it to work flawlessly. Thanks in advance! :) submitted by /u/DrKevinBonkersPhD [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a laptop for kids that can handle Minecraft - $300, US Posted: 23 Mar 2021 05:26 PM PDT I understand this request is kind of ridiculous regarding the budget however I am looking to purchase two laptops, one for each of my kids, that can handle their school but also some gaming, namely Minecraft. Currently they have Asus Chromebooks that cant really handle much of anything. I feel very out of my wheelhouse when it comes to this, I am not computer illiterate but I'm realizing I have no idea the differences between the processors and whatnot. Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$300 per laptop - Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
1-Performance 2-Build Quality 3-Battery life (they usually aren't using them not plugged in) 4-form factor - How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not very important - 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 as mentioned, I'm sure there will be more games eventually, in addition to standard office suite - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
???? no clue - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Good input devices would be good, and ability to use peripherals like an additional monitor, external mouse, probably external storage eventually - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I think thats it, thank you! submitted by /u/Twouareks [link] [comments] |
| General purpose laptop for heavy traveler Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:46 PM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $2,000 USD / 'Murica · Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes to both · How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Battery life (road/plane warrior) Form factor (want a thin ultrabook footprint) Performance Build quality (not to be confused with reliability/longevity) · How important is weight and thinness to you? On a scale of 1-10, ten being the highest 8.5 Very important - travel a lot so need something thin; lightness isn't as important · Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 or greater (used to have a 17" and loved it but seems that's rare now; will have it docked in a docking station with monitors most of the time but will need a good screen size when traveling) · Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Large excel files and databases, Photoshop, 500,000 simultaneous Chrome tabs · If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Not gaming. · Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Need to have: Backlit keyboard is a must Want to future-proof as much as possible so it doesn't slow down and become a paperweight in two years or lack important features that become standard Needs to play well with docking stations Great keyboard that doesn't feel like mashed potatoes No 4K screens since that fucks with battery life Matte screen Reputation for longevity/reliability (need it to just work and not stop working) Dedicated arrow keys, FN keys, and spacious keyboard layout that mimics a real desktop one. I swap back and forth between docked and traveling so minimal transition between the two layouts is important Needs to not die overnight when I lock and close the lid on the stupid fucker Nice to have: Number pad would be amazing HDMI port (nice to connect to hotel TVs for Netflix without that dongle life) · Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Leaning toward an X1 Carbon but the 14" screen is just a little less than ideal. Seems to check all the other boxes though. submitted by /u/gayhipster980 [link] [comments] |
