Need a sturdy, well-built laptop that can stay working for a very long time, no need for gaming. Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:40 PM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $1000 USD, will go up to $1500 USD if absolutely necessary. Are you open to refurbs/used? No. How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Long (5+ hours) battery life, build quality that keeps it from breaking 5+ years from now, SSD needed, specs that won't become outdated for many years. How important is weight and thinness to you? I should be able to carry it with a standard laptop bag and still be able to walk. 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. None. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? None. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? DVD drive capable of working with dual-layer discs, good sound quality (no tinny or high-pitched audio, speakers shouldn't be notorious for that "rattling" effect either, laptops with bad audio don't interest me, good bass levels needed). Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I need something that will stay strong and not break for the next 10 years or so, even if it means sacrificing looks and functionality for materials and build quality. If it's made by a company that's notorious for selling products that break quickly, I want to steer clear of that company. submitted by /u/goody_fyre11 [link] [comments]

Looking to buy a decent midrange laptop for business and personal use Posted: 04 Aug 2021 02:35 AM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Budget ranges from 500-1000USD. Can spend more if needed Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes as long as they run well How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Battery life is not a priority, performance is the key factor, would like it to last maybe the next 3-4 years, it's more of a temporary requirement for school How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important at all, my last laptop was 20 inches and weighed like 10 pounds so I'll take anything 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. Cisco Packet Tracer Open Shot Video Editor Gaming If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? The most demanding game I play is Phasmophobia. I would like a steady frame rate at the bare minimum. 60 FPS is a luxury not a requirement. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? No touchscreens; a decent keyboard is nice but just a privilege Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Playing Phasmophobia with friends is the main thing I want from this. submitted by /u/Laytotheelow [link] [comments]

Girlfriend asked me to find a Laptop for Interior Design studies, but I am no specialist - therefore I need assistance of you, boys and girls. Posted: 04 Aug 2021 01:51 AM PDT Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: $1300 USD, will go up to $1900 USD if absolutely necessary. (or 1300-1600 EUR) Are you open to refurbs/used? No. How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Okayish battery life, but not really a HUGE issue, as she charges it in faculty/university, build quality that keeps it from breaking 4+ years from now, SSD needed, specs that won't become outdated for many years. No need 2-1 or touch. How important is weight and thinness to you? She should be able to carry it with a standard laptop bag and still be able to walk. Fairly portable, would love for her to use a light laptop. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15inch. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. V-ray for Sketchup, Autocad, Archicad, 3Dmax, Revit, Photoshop, Sketchup, Iliustrator. If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? None. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? No need of touchscreen, would love it to be fairly good in terms of having a variety of ports, but not necessary, would love the keyboard to not bend much when pushed and such, sound quality should be OK but not necessity for it to be perfect. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. All in all, we need a laptop that is designed for Interior Design and Architecture Studies. Prefer AMD Ryzen versions over Intel, focus is on driving nicely when using Video Editing, Photo Editing, Design Applications. 15 inches, quite solid build that is not bending. ADDITIONALLY - HUGE preference onto 3 things - color quality and brightness, not a loud fan and does not heat up under moderate-higher moderate performance. (these are her biggest preferences after the apps for design running smoothly) QUICK EDIT: for now I see Legion 5 version (non-pro) with 5 5600 and 3060, 16GB and 512 SSD as the front runner. submitted by /u/Shandowarden [link] [comments]

Budget 15-17” laptop w/ good keyboard - AUD$1k, Australia Posted: 04 Aug 2021 12:16 AM PDT Looking for a budget laptop for WFH with a large screen and great keyboard. I'm currently using a Macbook 12" from 2017 with the infamous (awful) butterfly keyboard. It was great when I needed more portability, but I'm now only moving from my desk to my couch. I use Logitech wireless mechanical keyboard and mouse at my desk but I want more freedom to move around the house.

Good keyboard and touchpad!!!!!! I cannot stress enough how important that is, it's the main reason I am looking at a new system. The MacBook butterfly has almost no travel and feels awful to type on. I don't need any fancy extras as long as the input devices are good. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've been a Mac user at home forever but I don't use a computer recreationally enough anymore to shell out 3k for the 16" MacBook Pro. I'm hopelessly out of touch with which companies are making great windows systems these days.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I didn't think I'd be as particular as I am but a good keyboard and trackpad are something I really need as I'll be typing for most of the time I'm using it. Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion I've looked at a few so far and I'm pretty sold on this Ideapad 5 but I've heard there's a lot of issues with the BIOS and battery life falling rapidly. I also like this Vivobook but it's a little pricey for what I hear is pretty meh construction, at least imo but I could be wrong. Also I'm not entirely certain if I need to look for something beefier being a CS major. However since I've got a powerful gaming rig I figured I could use it for anything these two couldn't handle. This is mainly going to be used for on the go programming and note taking along with web browsing. submitted by /u/Henry788 [link] [comments]

Laptops with decent screens for under $700 (USD)? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:10 PM PDT By decent screens I mean good color accuracy and acceptable brightness levels.

I just need a laptop for general use and don't plan on doing anything intensive like gaming. i5 or Ryzen 5 with upgradeable memory would be ideal. submitted by /u/UrbanHorror [link] [comments]
