    Laptop for programming, Python, $600 budget

    Laptop for programming, Python, $600 budget


    Laptop for programming, Python, $600 budget

    Posted: 03 May 2022 10:27 AM PDT

    Hi! I'm based in the USA, and I'm a very fresh and new beginner to programming and I'm currently in the process of learning Python. I have a custom built PC already, but I'm looking into getting a laptop so I can take my studies away from home where there are less distractions.

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

    USA, $600 USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    New only please

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

    If foldable to use longways, that would be excellent.

    200GB SSD

    i5 Intel CPU

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not important at all

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

    At least 15 inches

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

    Just programming with Python using VS Code and Replit

    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)?

    Anything with USB slots would be ideal

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

    EDIT: Im so sorry everybody, I'm making this post from my phone in work and failed to properly read the form rules

    What is the oldest Mac you would consider coding on?

    Posted: 03 May 2022 11:57 AM PDT

    From what I can tell, nothing I do takes a ton of resources and was considering switching to Mac from Linux since I'm tired of spending 25% of my time making the most basic QOL things work.

    There are some decent 2010-2012 Macbook Pros for under $150 locally and I was considering picking one up but not sure if the older OS would have some kind of compatibility issues withVSCode or JS/Ruby or anything else, so I defer to those with far more brains and experience than I.

    Thoughts?

    M1 MacBook Air or Surface laptop 4

    Posted: 03 May 2022 11:28 AM PDT

    I am an accountant student and will need a laptop for on campus, travel, etc. as I have a desktop pc at home. I will need to run Microsoft excel though I'm not too sure how heavily, and other accounting software. I can get the surface laptop 4 with the Ryzen 5 and 16gb ram for $900 or wait for the m1 MacBook Air to drop back to around $830 with the 8gb ram. Which would be a better option? I care about performance, longevity, battery life, and software comparability. Thanks! Any other suggestions id like a 13-14in laptop with 16gb ram if on windows

    Laptop for School and work

    Posted: 03 May 2022 01:16 PM PDT

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      Canada; around $1.5k CAD, but willing to spend a bit more if worth it
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      Preferably new
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      I would like to write notes, so maybe a 2-in-1 is preferable, but I'm open to other options. I'm not looking for super high performance, since I'm just going to be using the web and office 365 more. Looking for one with decent battery life, maybe around 5-6 hours is sufficient?
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Somewhat important, I do want a laptop that is thin/light enough for me to comfortably carry around all day.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      Under 15 inches
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      I do light video editing, using DaVinci Resolve and I do a bit of light gaming
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Mainly Starcraft and Dota, occasionally CF, I just want to be able to run the game smoothly, so maybe 60 FPS or higher?
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      Looking for a laptop that can last a long time, maybe around 5-8 years. Also would like to avoid Macs if possible because I don't have other Apple devices and I prefer windows.

    macbook pro 2015 mid 15' in 2022

    Posted: 03 May 2022 12:46 PM PDT

    Hi, i want to try macbook, my budget is 500-1000, but i am leaning more on the lower end, because i just want to try it and see if its good, and then i could upgrade to m1, and i am not "power user".

    I would be doing things like emails, watching youtube videos, educating myself through ebooks, doing research on stuff (meaning it could take up to 30 tabs open sometimes :D) , zoom meetings, even some kind of basic programming and very occasional simple video editing). I would use it in the school for like 2 hours a day, and when i am at home, i would put my mechanical keyboard, mouse and my monitor and use it "like pc". (if that's possible)

    Do you think macbook pro 2015 mid 15' would be good fit for my needs? (I can find it around 500usd in my country, m1 air around 900)

    Suggest me a laptop for university

    Posted: 03 May 2022 08:55 AM PDT

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

    Canada. $1 - 1.2k. Warranty should come standard

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes. Refurbs and open box but not used

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

    I've lived with mediocre laptops most of my life so smooth performance is something I haven't really experienced in full. However, I do want to do casual video editing (Filmora), document editing and gaming (full settings or HD is not a priority). This means that it can multitask with, say, with a video editor and a few browser tabs open. For build quality, I want it to last until after undergrad and postgrad is finished which would be about 6-7 years if everything goes smoothly. I would be doing an online degree for most of it so not a lot of travelling but battery life - about 6 hours - would be preferable for the times I work around the house or in the dog days of summer

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Quite important I do want a laptop that is light, preferably 1 - 1 ½ kg.

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

    Less than 14 inches

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

    Video editing: Filmora X, NCH Videopad

    Video games

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

    Valorant, COD BO2, World of Tanks, games available on GOG such as Blood, Wolfenstien, and Quake and GZ/LZDoom with mods like Brutal Doom. Also, heavier emulation with emulators such as Dolphin (Wii + GameCube) should run smoothly but not at max settings

    These should run at 60 FPS or higher. As stated above, max settings such as motion blur and anti-aliasing are not a must, but gameplay should not be choppy during times of high action. Also I've heard that these sorts of ultra portable laptops overheat quite a bit; is there any way to minimize it?

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

    Reliable built in keyboard that can keep up with 70-80 WPM and constant pressing of WASD keys. Laptop should preferably have an SSD with 512GB of storage or higher.

    • This is for my father-in-law. He needs a laptop to do work on, which is really just excel/word + browser. He wants something that will last 10 years since he's replacing his 10 year old laptop. He gave a budget of $700 but i'm guessing that might be overkill?

    All rounder for Uni/career, with a little bit of gaming potential

    Posted: 03 May 2022 12:33 PM PDT

    I'm exploring options for my new laptop, and as a heavy gamer most of my life I've only ever had gaming laptops. Now that I've scaled back the gaming, I'd like to have a laptop that's easily portable, with a battery that won't die within an hour.

    So I'm looking for someone to recommend a sturdy work laptop that has a good battery life. I don't need it to be super slim or light, as long as it's obviously different to the heavy bricks that gaming laptops can be. In terms of gaming potential, I'd like it to be able to run games such as minecraft or terraria smoothly, with the absolute heaviest game being something like Valorant, but I'd understand if that's asking for too much and isn't really a priority. No budget, thanks!

    Need help choosing between these two laptops...

    Posted: 03 May 2022 12:13 PM PDT

    What I am asking for is which laptop of the two listed below has the best price to hardware ratio. I listed the prices that are available to me for each. Would the AMD 5600U be better to get compared to AMD 5500U? I mainly will be using this laptop to browse the web, watch videos, work on some PowerPoint and Word docs, and maybe just light 2D gaming from Steam. (I already havea desktop I do my main gaming on)? Thanks for the suggestions.

    What affordable laptop would you suggest for me to buy? Read below for details

    Posted: 03 May 2022 11:31 AM PDT

    Edit: the budget is around $800 CAD.

    I am trying to buy my mother a laptop as a surprise present. She has been using a laptop from 2009 or whatever and it sucks.

    Something neighboring the specs listed below should be good enough:i5 cpu500gb ssd8gb ramtouch screen if possiblegpu undetermined

    She uses her current laptop for work (emails, spreadsheets, word documents, etc.), streaming videos, and the occasional graphic design. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Music Production & Gaming Laptop

    Posted: 03 May 2022 10:22 AM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    $1500

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes

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

    Performance is key, not looking for a 2-in-1.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all important

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

    15in

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

    For music production I use Cubase Artist 11 and sometimes Ableton. I'd like to maybe experiment with Reaper in the future. I don't use a lot of plugins and mainly record direct from a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. I'd like to be able to play some newer games but the graphics don't need to blow me out of the water. It would also be useful to be able to run some basic stats with SAS or R.

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

    Elder Scrolls Online, Age of Empires II HD, Witcher III, RDR2. Medium to low settings on the latter two are fine.

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

    The more ports, the better.

    New laptop, for coding/game dev/light gaming, UK £1,000

    Posted: 03 May 2022 10:00 AM PDT

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      £1,000 if bought outright. Willing to go to around £1,250 if financing options are available
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      I'd prefer new
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Battery life is of no issue as it would mostly be used at work where I would have access to a mains supply. Performance is really the main priority but it's also nice to have decent build quality.
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Non issue, I will be carrying it in a back pack so weight doesn't really affect my choice.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      I currently have an Acer Aspire A515 -51 which has a 15.6" screen, I would like a screen of this size or larger.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      I am aiming to use this mainly for studying and game development (use of Unity, Blender, potentially Premiere and Photoshop) and maybe light gaming like TFT possibly the odd game of league of legends.
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      TFT is the main game I will play on the laptop during lunch breaks, but I have a desktop at home where I spend my time gaming, so as long as it will run TFT I'm fine.
    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
      I'd like a nice keyboard and a sturdy build so it will last a little longer.
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I lean towards AMD CPUs as it is what I currently have in my desktop, but it isn't a deal breaker. Same goes with Nvidia GPUs
