    Should I buy a gaming laptop for programming?

    Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:04 PM PDT

    I'm going to university soon and my current laptop is absolute trash. I'm looking to buy a new one for programming as I am really interested in it, but I also love to game now and then. So my question is should I buy a Gaming Laptop for around $2000 or should I go for a traditional laptop in the $2000 range. Just keep in mind I'm no a professional gamer. I'm a casual gamer just looking to play fun now and then.

    Not a laptop but a laptop accessory, does anyone know a good budget digital notepad (sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I dont know where else to post this).

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 01:36 AM PDT

    -I was hoping to find a device under $90, preferably more around $40 or $50 if that's possible

    -I want to be able to save/keep the pages I make as files I can pull up and edit later on the notepad, instead of just pictures that are downloaded later.

    -I would like it if it had some support for folders or some sort of organization system, whether that be through interfacing with a laptop or onboard storage

    -I want something that has a screen of its own, but if there isn't anything good below $90 I will look for a digitizer.

    Is there even something out there that meets those criteria?

    Suggest a nice laptop for University

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:16 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm from India and I'm going to join University for Computer Science with Specialization in Artificial Intelligence.

    I'm planning on buying a laptop, I want to use it mainly for programming. I need decent performance for Programming, Editing Documents, Online Classes, Exams, Occasionally Movies/Netflix

    I don't care much about Video Editing and I don't want it to be heavy like the gaming laptops. I also want decent battery life. It's nice if the laptop would have decent connectivity both wireless and through ports. I'm not interested in using my laptop for gaming much except at rare occasions I just play Valorant and nothing else. I also, don't care much about high graphics, I just want it to be playable, that's it.

    I came across Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 and it perfectly fits my budget. I'm willing to spend 60k to 75k INR on the laptop. But I'm confused as to pick the i5 1135G7 variant or the Ryzen 7 5700U variant. Both variants are identical in other specifications having 16GB ram with 512GB NVMe SSD which is further expandable. It has a 57Wh battery and the official website mentions it gives 11+ hours of battery life. I also decided to go with Lenovo considering the fact that Lenovo has excellent after sales service in my country.

    I'm hoping if anyone could suggest me which one to pick or if you have any other suggestions fitting my requirements.

    Here are the official website links for both the variants:
    Intel: Lenovo IdeaPad 5i (15) Intel | 15 powerful and affordable laptop | Lenovo India
    AMD: IdeaPad Slim 5 | Graphite Grey 15-inch Laptop | Lenovo India

    Need a laptop, help me pls

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 05:07 AM PDT

    I'm a university student and I really need a new laptop but I don't know which one to choose.I need it for school work and regular use (e.g. watching videos). I don't play video games and I'm not planning on using it for photo/video editing either, but I'd like to have a reliable laptop for the next few years. I'd prefer one with Windows, 14-16 inch screen, at least an Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, 8GB RAM should be good for multitasking with at least 256 GB storage in my opinion. Good quality keyboard would be great because I would primarliy use it for online school and when I write my thesis and do research online.

    My budget is 500€-800€ ($590-$950).

    Any suggestion is welcomed.

    Need help with a laptop for university.

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 04:53 AM PDT

    Hey guys and gals,

    I need help with choosing a laptop. I'm off to uni in 2 months and have no clue which one to get. I've found a few that I like but can't decide. I'll be studying software engineering. The choice in Europe is kind of limited and most laptops are rather expensive compared to US variants (well, at least here in Serbia). I have narrowed the choice down to these few:

    1. LENOVO Yoga 7 14ITL5 - 82BH00A5YA (this one is the most expensive of the three but not sure whether the price is justified.)
    2. OMEN 15-en0001nm - 13D13EA ( best specs but kind of reluctant because I'm not sure how smart would it be to have a pimped-out, heavy, RGB, gaming laptop for uni work and carrying it around the campus.
    3. DELL Vostro 15 5502 - NOT17017 ( i can't find any reviews for this laptop but it ticks all the boxes for me...not sure whether it's a good buy.)
    4. HP Pavilion x360 Laptop - 14-dw0031nm - 1U2X3EA ( this one seems ok but also can't find any reviews or opinions on it).
    5. Huawei MateBook X 2020 ( 2021 variant still not available)

    Should I possibly wait until September for something better? Any advice is welcome!

    Gaming Laptop or Steam Deck?

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 04:49 AM PDT

    I'm mostly enthusiastic about the steam deck as it looks to be a powerful gaming pc for a good price (I pre-ordered the £459 but of course, I can cancel it). However, would I be better off getting a gaming laptop for that price? I currently don't have a pc as I sold it when I bought my m1 mac and it outperformed it (apart from gaming of course). TIA.

    Work Laptop - Solidworks & Keyshot

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 03:54 AM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $5,000 AUD max
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      No
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      CPU & graphics card are very important - must be powerful & compatible with Solidworks and Keyshot running in conjunction, reasonably lightweight, touchscreen is a plus.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?Reasonably important, will occasionally need to carry on public transport.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      14-15", will always be using a second screen.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Solidworks, Keyshot & Adobe suite run daily. I don't use these programs to 100% of their potential, but current machine (Lenovo 1st Gen P14s) is not up to scratch - currently having a lot of lag time when programs are running 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)?
      Current world environment means flexible work movement - between home & office so must be easily portable. Touch screen is a plus but not a necessity. Main focus is compatibility and power.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I'm partial to Lenovo but none of their options are seeming very suitable to my needs. I'm currently looking at the Dell New XPS15, up spec'd to i9, 64GB memory, 1TB SSD and touch display. I can't find much in terms of compatibility of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with Keyshot and Solidworks, this is my main concern. Price is sitting at $6,200 but I have a 20% code taking it to $5,019. This is still on the steep side for my budget, so open to any suitable recommendations!

    Laptop for doing masters in Cyber Security

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 02:12 AM PDT

    Hey all, hope youre all doing good.

    I am thinking of going for masters in cyber security as I want to change my current Comp Sci career into the infosec world. I currently have a macbook m1 air which is a fantastic laptop but cannot run linux natively and the vm options are limited.

    What I want:

    To be able to dual boot Windows and Linux or run either via a VM.

    16 GB Ram atleast

    A laptop that I can take to lecture halls. Which means loud fan noise is a big no.

    Not fussed about running games on the laptop.

    I was looking a Thinkpad e14 v2 AMD laptop which seems pretty good. What do you guys think? Or should I just stick with m1 macbook and hope a native port of linux will be available for mac?

    Requirements: Programming, MS Office, iGPU must handle very rare Valorant Gameplay in playable settings

    I've googled the benchmarks and they're very confusing. i5 has better single core score with total of 4 cores, Ryzen 7 has better multi-core score with 8 cores. Which would best suit my requirement

    Lenovo Ideapad 5 vs Acer Swift 3

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 01:08 AM PDT

    Both are 14" and have identical components, except for the fact that the Acer has a 1TB SSD, whereas the Lenovo has 512GB, but I don't think I need that much space anyway, so it's not a significant factor.

    Also the Lenovo has three 3.0 USB ports, but the Acer has two 3.0 ports and one 2.0.

    Everything else being equal, I'm leaning towards the Acer just because of the SSD difference.

    However, I have read on other subreddits that the Acer has a bad screen and keyboard? But it has an aluminum chassis, compared to Lenovo being plastic. So I really don't know.

    Is one objectively better than the other? Or am I overthinking the choice and it comes down to personal preference?

    I'm receiving a laptop as a gift but I need help choosing one for two things: Classes and Gaming.

    Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:58 AM PDT

    Im attending college again soon, and between paying for classes and a new car I desperately needed, I was judt going to try and make my current laptop last a little longer. My grandma offered to buy me a new laptop as a gift to help me get back into classes. As i mentioned above, i use a laptop for two things, handling my schoolwork which mostly includes taking notes, research, video calls, etc. (Im a business major so programs like word and excel are mostly everything I need). The other thing i use my current laptop for is pc gaming through steam. Im not at all looking to play brand new AAA games, but id appreciate a laptop that can handle smaller games. It might not be me whos buying it, but i dont want my grandma to rack up a huge bill. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you guys.

    US: Dell inspiron 7000 vs HP Spectre x360 vs Lenovo Yoga 9i for grad student

    Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:50 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm looking for a laptop for graduate school (statistics). I'm looking for something less than $1,700 and I'm open to open-box. I definitely need something relatively fast, lots of storage, and that has decent RAM so I can run statistical programs while doing other things.

    It would be great if the laptop was light and had a decent battery life, but the only thing I definitely hate in a a laptop is one that turns into a lap toaster and has loud fans. Any insight you have is appreciated!

    Here's what I'm looking at:

    Dell Inspiron 7000 2 in 1 - $1,629 - 1 TB SSD - 16 GB RAM - intel 11th gen processor - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-7000-2-in-1-15-6-uhd-touch-laptop-11th-gen-intel-core-i7-xe-max-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-32gb-optane-black/6432554.p?skuId=6432554

    • 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 screen. Touch-screen! I actually use it. Good build quality. Good vents that wont overheat on my lap, since I mostly use it on my lap. I'll be using 12hrs a day. OH and a good trackpad. I don't use a mouse!
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.- Mostly need it for web design, programming, watching movies, pornography and a little bit of gaming.

    My current laptop is Dell XPS 9560 with touch-screen. I paid a lot for it. But it keeps melting my power adapter tip (I'm on my 3rd one now; cost $120 each time to replace it) and out of warranty. Shame that I have to replace it, because its in good shape other than that issue and works well. Feel like I'm putting the still good hardware to waste.

    HP Pavilion 15-eg0021nr, 2020 -- a good buy?

    Posted: 18 Jul 2021 10:24 PM PDT

    Budget: 900 USD

    Location: USA

    Minimum screen size: 15"

    Use case: web browsing, online shopping, MS Office -- 99% of the time at home

    ​

    Was looking for a laptop for my other half that actually functions (her previous bargain basement laptops can barely run three tabs of Edge or Windows Update). I had asked around before, but I have since upped the budget.

    A friend recommended a 14" HP sold at Staples, but she was not pleased with the screen size. I eyed the 15-eg0021nr, 2020 which Amazon is selling for $900. The specs seem good, but I know specs aren't everything. I wanted to see what others thought (Amazon reviews are so unreliable for me lately).

    In the past, some had suggested Thinkpads, but I wonder if this might be going overboard, even with the E series.

    I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

    Looking for a work laptop + Photo Editing and gaming on the side, USA, under $2000

    Posted: 18 Jul 2021 02:31 PM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    $2000

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes to Refurbished, No to Used

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

    Build Quality>Battery Life>Form Factor>Performance

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Would like it to be light enough to take it to a cafe and fit in a backpack. Doesn't have to be razor thin.

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

    14-15 inch is ideal, but could be convinced for a 13 or a 16 inch laptop. If it's 16:10 or 3:2 that would be great because I will likely be using it for coding but I would also be ok with a 16:9.

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

    Mostly Lightroom and Games

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

    Dota 2 with at least 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)?

    Accurate Colors and Contrast would be great especially for photo editing. Other than that high refreshrate would be cool as well but it's not absolutely necessary.

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

    Currently eyeing on the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (I'm a bit hesitant on no webcam but I think I can live without it). I also could live with a Asus Zenbook or a Dell XPS 15 with a discrete graphics card...
