    Don't know much about laptops and found this subreddit today. Don't know if 2042 would even run on $600.

    Suggest a laptop under 43k rupees for College.

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:31 AM PDT

    I'm joining college this year (Computer Science Engineering), suggest a laptop with relatively good build quality and good ventilation. Which is the best under this price range.

    Try that laptop is available on either amazon.in or flipkart.com because there are no good laptop shops in my town.

    Laptop suggestion below 150000 Indian rupees

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 03:31 AM PDT

    I am looking towards the new Lenovo legion 5 pro abd acer predator helio 300. I want 16gb minimum ram needed. 512gb ssd enough. Rtx 3060 preferable. I don't like Reyzen due to problems installing linux but I guess I will use VMs to run linux inside windows. Reyzn 5000 series is fine. Also I will not game most of the time, I will mostly use for productivity and heavy development. Will keep it plugged in always and will run it for 12+ hours daily. Suggest based on the above things.

    P.s. I like 140watt tdp of rtx 3060 in legion 5 pro.

    USA under $250 LF cheapest fancy writing machine

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 09:05 PM PDT

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

    $249.99, USA

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes. Scratch and dent/ugly is fine too.

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

    no overheating, crashing, or unreliable battery/charge>>>>>expected performance for budget and purpose for at least 5 years (is this realistic? Idk)>acceptable quality for budget/not made of glass, glue, and paperclips>8 hour battery life/reliable battery/charger would be great but not necessary

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I just want a laptop under 30 pounds that I can't snap with my hands

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

    no, but a wide keyboard would be nice. Wider than 11 inches, for typing

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

    No. Google docs, lightweight simple minimalist writing programs, perhaps but not necessarily a more robust word processor for editing. Possible in-browser editing and note taking programs, Grammarly, maybe some browsing for research.

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

    No.

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

    Workable touchpad. No cardboard keyboards. No absolutely hideous unbearable screen quality(not/barely backlighted, fuzzy and unreadable, ugly dark yellow haze) or cracks.

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

    No overheating. SSD is great but costly. Hdd terrible (overheating). Loud fans give me flashbacks. Windows 7 preferred if still considered sensible long term in this day and age. The cheaper the better. Let me know about Well known battery/charger/memory replacement nightmares or other common defects and mistakes including things like screen bubbling if you know off the top of your head. Absolutely no thinkpads without a password on the off chance someone tries to track it down. That's just weird. No DIY stuff please. if you have any idea about lifespan and maintenance of the laptop, memory etc let me know. Im techphobic. You can suggest above/below budget, im not buying immediately, just an estimate. Future budget could end up higher or lower. thanks for reading/helping. :) multiple suggestions welcome if you have more than one, please include price range if you know it off the top of your head.

    Unlikely, but: If you happen to be a writer from a hot climate like me, but one who knows 100% exactly what I need to last me reliably for 5 years and can suggest a certain machine with detailed specs (ram, memory, size, model details and options) and price range, even if it doesn't match my budget, please do, and I might try to save up for it in the future. Or I might find it on sale scratch/dent/busted webcam/used if I'm lucky. If youre that person and know every detail: Does a machine like this exist? What is the typical cost? Lifespan? Issues?

    Edit: no chromebooks please

    Budget laptop with mid-range performance for work and light gaming around £800

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 02:56 AM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • **Total budget: £800 (can go up to £1200, but trying to keep it more reasonable)

    • Are you open to refurbs/used? Only from official sellers with a good extended warranty (had bad experiences with refurbs previously)

    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Priorities: solid small-ish form factor, good keyboard, decent bang for buck performance

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Trying to stay on the smaller side for portability since at home I'll mostly use it with an external monitor/KB/mouse

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14 inches seems like the sweetspot. Certainly no bigger than 15.6

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Some gaming (Diabotical, Apex Legends, Cities Skylines, mostly indie roguelites)

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? 60 FPS at 1080. (Diabotical, Apex Legends, Cities Skylines, mostly indie roguelites)

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

    My current desktop is an i7 3770 with an RX 580 and this is more than enough for my gaming. I need a solid laptop that is portable for work (Office, web, very light things) and some gaming (mentioned above).

    The laptop I'm considering currently is a ROG Zephyrus G14 from over a year ago (Ryzen 5 4600 with 1650 ti) for £850.

    Although a Leigon or Omen might give better specs for the same money, I'm looking for decent performance in a small form factor and good build quality.

    Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Comparing AMD-9400 R5, to an Intel-i5 processor

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 02:43 AM PDT

    For a job, need an Intel-i5 equivalent. It is for emailing, phone calls and live chats, do you think an AMD-9400 can handle it? Will it scrap by for an Intel-i5 equivalent in this scenario?

    Display on Ideapad 5

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 01:06 AM PDT

    I'm a university incoming freshman trying to get a laptop that will last me 4 years. I prefer lightweight, touch and good battery life. I don't game, but I might need my laptop to run AUTOCAD/ 3d software/ heavy coding in the future (physics major.) Need 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD, and AMD preffered. The ideapad is perfect for me and my wallet, but im concerned about the srgb (only 56%). Do you think that is enough for me? I don't do video/photo editing.

    Choosing a laptop for my major???

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 12:26 AM PDT

    Hi subreddit! I have a question.

    I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of laptop I want to get for school. I'll only be taking online courses, but I will be working with most of Adobe's suite, as well as Maya for 3D animation and modeling.

    Usually - I always pick MacOS, but I'm having a hard time deciding if that's the right choice for me because of GPU/RAM usage. I need some advice!

    looking for a laptop

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 11:35 PM PDT

    I've looked through so many of these and ended up with much more confusion and a head pounding incentive to buy more ibuprofen. I'm completely new to buying computers much less a laptop

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

    $800-$1200(max) USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    yes as long as it's in good condition

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

    performance, battery life (at least 6 hours but I'm not too worried about finding outlets)

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    I'm fine with weight and would go for something bulkier if it has good specs

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

    nothing lower than 13 but the larger the better

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

    I will be doing programming, note taking, and some gaming. A bonus if it can record piano and guitar music well.

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

    Genshin impact, and minecraft. I already have a gaming computer so I won't be doing any more than this especially between classes.

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

    a webcam and bluetooth capabilities are a must. Having a stylus has always been my dream laptop but it's not necessary.

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

    I would like to have at least 16GB of RAM and SSD at least 256. Something with good cooling is better as long as it isn't horribly loud I can cope with fans. I'm not too worried about top of the line gaming or anything just something with good space, RAM and can last quite a few years.

    Need a laptop for non tech savvy Dad $400 USD

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 10:29 PM PDT

    I'm looking for a laptop for my dad and all he'll be doing on it is work. I'm thinking a Chromebook would be best for him I'm just not sure which since I don't have any experience with Chromebooks. Budget is $400 USD and lower because I think I should be able to find something that will suit his needs without being super expensive since he won't be using it for much. He'll be using mostly Office 365 on it, maybe some YouTube, and maybe light web browsing, since that's what he already does on his phone, but for nothing else. I'm open to other suggestions for laptops but absolutely NO Acers.

    MacBook Air M1 vs. Dell Inspiron 14 5410

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 06:32 PM PDT

    MacBook Air M1 vs. Dell Inspiron 14

    Starting a new job shortly in healthcare research and am granted a $700 stipend for a new computer. Primary responsibilities will require several simultaneous applications open, multiple browsers, while over virtual calls. I'd like the machine to perform all of this while in a Google Hangout/Zoom.

    I'm leaning towards the Dell Inspiron 14 (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-inspiron-14-laptop/spd/inspiron-14-5410-laptop/nn5410esfus) because the specs appear to be better for the price.

    i7, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD for $750.

    Whereas the new M1 MacBook Air is ~$900 for the M1, 8gb ram, 256gb SSD.

    Is there something that I'm missing that should push me toward the Air, or is the Inspiron the obvious choice for my needs?

    USA/Israel - Best $2000 - $4000 Laptop for CAD/3D Modeling?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 09:41 PM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $2000 - $4000 in the US. I don't think it's a good idea to purchase in Israel since most electronics are more expensive there.
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      No.
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Build quality and performance are the most important followed by size and battery life.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Somewhat but not critical. I will be traveling with it but once I reach my destination it will stay plugged in most of the time so while it doesn't need to be ultra light lighter is better.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      N/A but I prefer smaller screens.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      This computer will almost exclusively be used for CAD and 3D Modeling. Mostly AutoCAD, Sketchup, and Solidworks as well as occasionally 3DS Max, Maya, Revit, and other CAD programs. I will also use it for occasional gaming.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Not specifically but it would be nice to be able to play AAA games.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      The most important things are build quality and performance. Also it would be really nice if it can be charged with USB C although this isn't a strict requirement just a nice to have and regardless I'm not sure if any Window's laptops have this feature.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I work remotely and currently I do all my CAD work on a self built desktop with a Ryzen 9 3900XT and a GTX2080Ti but I'm going to be spending several months overseas later this year or early next year so I'm going to need a powerful laptop to continue working while I'm away from home. I already have a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro 13" but I need a Windows PC for my CAD programs. I am willing to use bootcamp if you think a 13" Intel MacBook is powerful enough for CAD. I am considering trading in my 13" Pro for a 16" Pro but it seems silly to buy a Mac to use with Windows. Also the 16" MacBooks have older processors than the i7 in my 13". Finally I will mostly be in Israel so it would be very good if it could be serviced in Israel as well as the US in the event of any issues.

    Looking for a budget laptop for indie games & a little bit of work/data analysis

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 05:53 PM PDT

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

    • Around $500 USD would be ideal but willing to a bit above!

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    • No

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

    • Build quality & performance (previous HP laptop had issues with the the body warping and causing issues with the battery)

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

    • Gaming: indies (Devolver games, Hades, Hollow Knight, etc.), Genshin Impact, Blustacks emulation, Disco Elysium, etc. Not interested in AAA games

    • Work/productivity: Typical MS Office suite, Adobe related work, light data analysis using python/R/SAS

    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 (Last PC laptop I had was an HP where the body was warped within two years to the point it caused an issue with the battery)

    Was recommended here by /r/pcmasterrace and hoping to ask for some advice!

    I normally use a Mac for work/personal use so I don't really know anything at all about PCs. I was hoping to ask for recommendations/target price range I should be looking for. The potential machine would be a budget/side PC that's mostly be for low end gaming and some work related uses. Ideally I'd like a laptop as I move every 1-2 years and would like to downsize/have limited living space to get around, but I'm open to desktops as well.

      I'd like for this laptop to last at least 3 years. Ram and disc space are also rather important, I'd need at least 16GB and 1TB SSD.

    TIA!

    In need of a laptop for virtual school and gaming

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 08:49 PM PDT

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $500-550 USD (nothing past $600), purchasing in USA

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      No, seeking brand new

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

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Don't really care about those things

    • 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.
      The only things I will be running are for school (Zoom, Google classroom, etc) that will not take much power and some games of choice

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Probably going to be playing Minecraft, Genshin, and Skyrim. As long as they run relatively smoothly and don't blow up my device I do not care about the settings/FPS.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      It must have a good camera and good internal mic. I am using this for school and it is still virtual so these are required. A nice keyboard would be good as well.

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

    I would prefer a black laptop but I wouldn't be averted to a different color one that fits all of the requirements. If anyone has any mouse suggestions I'd appreciate those as well

    laptop suggestion for video editing

    Posted: 02 Aug 2021 08:32 PM PDT

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

    -under $2,000 but the cheaper the better-

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    -no, i'd like a new laptop-

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

    -performance, battery life, then build quality-

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    -i'd prefer for it to be thin and lightweight but it's not a complete deal breaker if it's not-

    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.

    -I use adobe premiere pro so it's important to have a laptop that works well with it-

    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)?

    -I don't believe i have any specific requirements but I also don't know much about computers so I don't really know what's important to have. Other than that, i think it would be nice if it was tough screen just so that I can take notes on it but it's not a priority -

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

    -I'm an incoming college student that will be studying film and media overall so it's important to find a laptop that I can edit on and use for other classes. I've tried doing my own research but it's been difficult for me since I'm not that knowledgeable on computers so any help would be greatly appreciated! -
