    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    700 to 1500 euros (Republic of Ireland)

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    yes

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

    Built quality and as modular as possible in this price range, batery would come in second place.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not extreme important but I do study away from home and come every weekend

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

    Not really but I am not a big fan of the 13 in, specially if bezels are thick

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

    I will sometimes edit images but its rare, I will run several different IDEs and VMs, I am not decided yet, but I may wet my toes on 2D and 2.5D game development so will use Unity sometime soon. Despite interest in game development, I am not a big pc gamer, would be nice to play the odd Diablo session, especially when in college away from consoles but I don't play anything too demanding and it's not a deal breaker if I can't play.

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

    I play mostly jrpg that are not demanding at all. Most demanding game I will be playing is Diablo II and IV. I don't play online with others or competitively.

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

    I use mechanical keyboard and wireless mouse but would be nice to have a decent keyboard if I need to use it in class. It needs to have a good screen and quality build, preferably not plastic case and good as silent as possible fans

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

    I don't have money generally, I got a grant from the college to help me to finance some of the costs and added to some savings I can now afford more as long as it will last me, that is why its important to be as modular as possible even if just upgrade ram and SSD in future, the longer it will last me the more I can pay up to the end of my budget.

    Laptop for streaming games and vtube

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 02:42 AM PDT

    Hi!

    I want to save up for a new laptop or PC so I can play games and stream them! I looked into some ""budget"" gaming laptops but the reviews made me unsure how streaming would work on these. Some I liked came without a camera and I need that..

    ​

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • **Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:**830 euro would be the dream but I can go higher if I can use it for many years, Europe
    • **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
    • **How important is weight and thinness to you?**not really
    • **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.**doesn't need to be big but no 11 inches
    • **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.**obs or streamlabs fro streaming, 3tene or Luppet for camera and motion capture, steam, chrome
    • **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?**Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy online, Aion, Steam games like dating sims etc., highest possible settings so it looks good and doesn't lagg
    • **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?**needs a camera, if possible a color changing keyboard like the ROG models
    • **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.**I would like to connect it to my Ipad occasionally for streaming. I love the designs for the ROG laptops but I don't know if a cheaper model would be enough for streaming and I can't exactly afford Mothership.

    Is 1660 Ti still good enough for 2021 gaming?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:46 PM PDT

    Specifically looking at this thing

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08LW575X9

    It is really overpriced since I have seen a few laptops in this price range that come with RTX 3070

    Like this for example

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08QYZYSMC

    which looks to be better in pretty much every way at the same price.

    Only reason I'm considering the Razer is because its one of the few laptops that offer the Amazon monthly payments over 12 months. My broke ass lives on fixed disability bux and the income is below what any credit company will consider so its basically buying what's available from the amazon payments or saving for a long ass time or waiting and hoping something decent will go on amazon payments i guess.

    ​

    Wondering if that overpriced Razer is still good enough for all the newest games and if it can at least run VR games semi adequately, can live with getting ripped off if its still adequate for gaming and should stay so for at least a couple years.

    What is a good laptop for general game development with a budget of 500 - 1k € ?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 02:21 AM PDT

    I'm an indie game dev and while it doesn't come up often, I'd like to take my projects with me occassionally. I'm also currently studying so group projects can get difficult as well from time to time. I've been looking through a bunch of guides and reviews for days and I just don't know enough about hardware to really make a good call. I use all kinds of software, such as Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator, Godot, Unity, Node-Red and OpenGL. I just don't know enough about hardware to find which specs are enough within my budget.

    So far I've seen three devices show up again and again:

    HP Pavilion 15 (900€)

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
    • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
    • Harddrive: 512 GB SSD M.2 PCIe
    • Display: 15,6" (39,6 cm)
    • Screen Reslution: 1920 x 1080 Pixels (FullHD) 1080p
    • Just a laptop

    Acer Aspire 3 (600€)

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
    • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
    • Harddrive: 512 GB SSD
    • Display: 15,6" (39,6 cm)
    • Screen Reslution: 1920 x 1080 Pixels
    • Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon
    • Just a laptop

    Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (719€)

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U
    • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
    • Harddrive: 512 GB M.2 2242 SSD
    • Display: 14" FHD
    • Screen Reslution: 1920 x 1080 Pixels
    • Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon
    • Can do this cool bendy-thing and become a tablet with touch screen

    My main uncertainty is if I need a dedicated GPU (which I think I do because of the rendering and game engines I work with) and how much saving I can get away with because I really don't want to spend more than I have to. Out of these three, what would you say is the best, or do you have any other, better recommendation (that ships to / within Germany / the EU) for me to consider? Thanks in advance ^^

    Laptop for MBA

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 02:00 AM PDT

    I'm going to start my MBA in the US this fall, but I'm currently in Europe. At the moment I'm using the laptop provided by my company but I'll have to give it back at the end of May and after that I need a laptop since I'll do a pre-MBA internship (in Italy) for a couple of months. I'm thinking about buying it now instead of waiting to go to the US and then buy it because here in Italy I have 22% discount on all laptops, so it's really cheap, even if I know that laptop prices are somewhat lower in the US compared to EU.

    Big question is: will I be able to use my EU laptop in US without issues? I'm thinking about charging (do I need only a US charger and that's it?), or compatibility issues with software.

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      Up to 900-1,000 EUR. Purchasing in Italy. (Consider that because of the discount above, a laptop which has a price of 1,000 EUR on Amazon, I'll pay around 780 EUR)
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      No, looking for new ones.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Build quality, battery life, performance, form factor.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Quite important, considering that I have to bring it to school everyday.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      13 or 15.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Probably not, maybe I'll play some videogames that are only on PC, but I have a PS5 for gaming.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      As above, maybe I'll play something like Valorant or Counter Strike, but it's not an important factor.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      No, actually I just need something that will work well with video calls, excel stuff and so on.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I've seen LG Gram, ASUS ZenBook and HP Envy as possible candidates. Would be great to know if there are other good options. Moreover, a good comparison among those three would be great to understand where they differ from each others.

    Thank you guys for the help!

    The Form

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    ​

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      6000 PLN (1300 EUR), Poland
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      Yes
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Build quality, form factor, performance
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Really important to me as it's a workstation for travel.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      Anything between 13-15 inches
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Programming and compiling programs. I also do some modeling in Blender, ability to that would be great. I would prefer to run Ubuntu 20.04 on it but I heard it often works worse on newer laptops due to unoptimized drivers.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Only CS:GO, stable 50-60 fps
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      Prefer laptops with nice metal chassis and good keyboard - main thing I will be doing on it is programming. Should have a bright screen, prefer 1440p for crisp text. Prefer Ryzen cpus with 6 cores/12 threads
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      Ability to do CUDA and OpenGL programming would be a plus, but I feel discrete graphics always sacrifices thinness and build quality - would be pleased to be proved wrong. I have a desktop for that at home I can always ssh in.

    Is Dell Inspiron G3 good?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 04:07 AM PDT

    Im looking for a new laptop for almost anything (programing, graphic, gaming, scholl etc.) I ended up with G3. It suits with my budget, has some decent specs and also i have good experiences with Dell and its high durability. But i have some doubts.

    Regardless of all positive reviews I heard that it has some problems with hinge. Are they that serious?

    I know that every single laptop in budget of 900$ will have some flaws but i couldn't find anything better.

    I also considered lenovo legion 5 or lenovo IdeaPad Gaming but some of my friends had levovo laptops and thay had some really bad experiences. Should i buy G3?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2021 04:27 PM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      1,000 – 1,500 USD. Purchasing in USA. (Preferably around 1,250. 1,500 is absolute top)
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      Possibly. Primarily looking for new, though.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Performance, battery life, build quality, form factor.

      Definitely Valorant, Forza Horizon 4, and Minecraft because I already own those. Ideally I would like max settings, but I know that's a pipe dream with this budget. So, best quality and FPS I can get for this price.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      QHD Display (2160 x 1440) or better if possible. 144 Hz or better. AMD CPU strong enough for gaming and streaming at the same time. RTX 30 series GPU if possible, if not, then RTX 20 series is fine.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I have been really looking into Lenovo's Legion 5 Pro. That fits my list fairly well, but it has yet to release. So, anything similar to that or alternatives to that within my budget?

    Laptop for an engineering student and some light gaming. BUDGET: 1500 - 1800 USD. United States

    Posted: 27 Apr 2021 10:22 PM PDT

    I need a new laptop for my engineering courses and some gaming too.

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

    1500 - 1800 USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No, I'd like to get a full warranty if possible.

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

    Build quality, performance, battery life, form factor.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I definitely want a thin and light laptop.

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

    13 or 15.6"

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

    I will use Solid Edge for CAD. I will do light gaming on it, nothing really that demanding but I want to be able to play AAA games smoothly. Some photoshop and Illustrator, but not that important.

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

    AAA games, medium settings is alright but not less than 50 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 want good and reliable build quality. I currently have a MacBook Pro (and my first choice would be to buy an M1 MacBook if it wasn't for Solid Edge not being compatible). I want a thin but powerful laptop, with good finish quality and a good trackpad. I don't mind spending the extra that some brands have, as long as it is for good build quality and a reliable machine that will last throughout my whole carrer.

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

    I had a Razer blade 15 in mind, but I'm open to hear your suggestions. Any help is really appreciated ;)

    Best budget laptop?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2021 08:44 PM PDT

    What's the best bang for your buck that's like $500 or less?

    Need something durable, for working outside for long periods.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:23 AM PDT

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

    $600-$700 USD

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

    Being durable is my main concern, with long battery life as well, other than that I don't care if it's bulky, having an interchangeable battery would also be a plus.

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not 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.

    Various GIS software like ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro

    Large Excel sheets with over 60k rows

    Light Photoshop

    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)?

    Reliable build quality, I don't intend to drop it or swing it around, but it'll be in a hiking backpack for hours or days at a time.

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

    I work outside for extended periods of time, this summer I'll be working at a National Forest, but I also work for my University, where I'm a research assistant making maps, so I'll be needing to do a lot of my work while I'm out backpacking for days at a time. I have a charging kit, but having an exchangeable battery would be a plus as well.

    I have a laptop for gaming, I just need something to do work on, it's fine if it's ugly and bulky.

    ​

    Edit: I'll also be camping out for a few days at a time, so there might be some extreme weather conditions. I'll be doing similar research in graduate school, so hopefully, it'll be durable enough to last through that.

    "Gaming Laptop" fora person who *only* plays World of WarCraft: Classic

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:02 AM PDT

    Hello Dear r/SuggestALaptop,

    It is me, the brainless 25-year-old willing to throw away her life for World of WarCraft: The Burning Crusade.

    I originally intended to buy the €2'200 ROG Strix 15 in order to play this shitty 15-year-old game.

    After consulting with a side of my brain that has "common sense" I decided that might not be the best decision.

    Therefore I come before you with a simple question, what shall this pathetic human buy?

    What do I require?

    • Minimum of 2 USB-Ports for my Wireless mouse & keyboard
    • Bluetooth in order to connect to my basic-bitch Apple EarPods.
    • Decent Screen, preferably with anti-glare.
    • Must be a laptop because I move around a lot.
    • Able to run World of WarCraft exceptionally well.

    Thanks in advance to anyone willing to spare a few moments to a clown dressed as a person.

    • 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 like the XPS 13 9310 and the 9305. I am wondering if the new screen is worth the extra couple hundred $$ but im also open to other laptops. I do want 16gb ram so feel free to leave other suggestions thanks!

    Do I wait for the ASUS G713QR-ES76 or turn elsewhere?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:35 PM PDT

    I live in Canada and I've got my eyes on the G713QR-ES76 and have been monitoring its availability like a bird-watcher, checking every few nanoseconds. For its price point of $1,800 USD/$2,200 CAD is there anything I could get that would be better? Only for heavy gaming and even more heavy essay writing. A display equal to this or better would be good as well and a robust build quality would be a dream come true.

    I've seen some good words floating around about the Legion 5 Pro and the

    Thanks!
