    The budget is a flexible $1500 and 32 gb minimum! I would very much appreciate laptops with specs good enough to run the programs above fairly well. Currently looking at the Lenovo legion 5 pro (32 gb version), are these type of specs (r7 5800h + 32 gb + rtx 3060) optimal? I would love suggestions at this price range and with the above requirements in mind please!!

    Other info: Looks don't necessarily matter

    Screen should be 15.6 in minimum

    Decent enough battery life (just not absolutely inconvenient)

    Prioritize performance/bang for your buck for the given budget more than anything

    Looking for a laptop to use for web development and basic game development.

    Posted: 03 May 2022 06:13 PM PDT

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

    $1500 CAD

    *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, build quality, battery life, form factor. 

    *How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not very important. 

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

    Around 14 inches at least. 

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

    I will be doing some light photo editing with GIMP and Inkscape and it would be nice to be able to play some 2D games/emulation. I might also do some light work in Blender. 

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

    Mostly 2D stuff like Wargroove, Enter the Gungeon, Streets of Rage 4, and emulation. 

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

    I would like a reliable build quality so this thing will last. It would also be nice if the RAM can be replaced/upgraded. 

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

    I also want good Linux support. I have been looking at the Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 since it has an empty RAM slot and apparently a strong build quality. But I am not sure it it will be good enough. 

    The Framework Laptop also looks really nice and I love what the company is doing. But the frame itself just seems weak and I hear that the bezels are designed to be opened one handed which leads to the screen shaking a bit. I can't find any video footage to see how bad it is though.

    Laptop for programming, (Range max: 2000 USD) USA

    Posted: 03 May 2022 07:13 PM PDT

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

    I'd prefer to stay as close as possible to 1500 USD or less but I think I can comfortably go up to 2000 USD

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Sure.

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

    Performance, build quality, battery life, form factor

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not very

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

    Around 14"

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

    No.

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

    Most I would play is Classic WoW and RuneScape but probably a rare chance of that.

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

    Number pad would be nice but not decisive. Touch-screen and finger-print reader undesirable but not decisive.

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

    I will be using this laptop for hobby programming, mostly Java, C# maybe some Python. I prefer Linux distros and was very interested in the Dell XPS 13 plus with Ubuntu but I'm wondering what else is out there. I am not completely against Mac or Windows. I'd like atleast 16G of RAM to be an option and 2TB SSD as an option.

    Alternative to Surface for pen/stylus

    Posted: 03 May 2022 10:47 PM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    1000 euros

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    if covered by a solid warranty

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

    Performance is important. I'd like to have a good amount of storage, and good stylus/pen performance

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    As long as it's not a brick.

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

    between 11-15 in

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

    No CAD. Occasional editing of video and photos, but not professional. Notetaking, portable 'library' of books (PDF, images, epub) and documents, etc.

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

    Not really concerned with gaming as long as it can play a few Retro emulators.

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

    Can't be too creaky. :)

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

    So.. I have owned an ipad pro (2017 10.5" model w/ 256gb) and a few models before it. I want to replace it with a more capable machine- and I really don't want to spend 2k on an ipad pro with sufficient storage. I have it basically set-up so it is a portable library of books (various image heavy PDFs) and other EPUB books for reading. I'm low on storage, so something with more space would be good. I use the stylus for annotating and sometimes journalling, but I tend to fall back on the keyboard for fast typing. So a good stylus experience is strongly desired. A Surface Go 3 sounds good in theory but according to specs, it is apparently slower than my current iPad.

    Also, this is not my only computing device. I use a desktop PC.

    Chasing unicorns? Light, bright, long-lasting might

    Posted: 03 May 2022 09:55 PM PDT

    Please recommend an ultraportable that fits the following requirements:

    Main use:

    Windows applications, Microsoft Office applications

    Priorities:

    Portability and flexibility more important than raw performance. Windows is a must (need to run proprietary programs), not a chromebook or ARM.

    Screen

    14" to 15", FHD (1080p is OK, 16:10 or 3:2 is better). matte! Bright enough to use outdoors (400+ nits). Higher resolution usually comes with lower battery life.

    Weight

    3lb or less for 14", less than 4lb for 15"

    Battery

    Long-lasting, really long-lasting, preferably Macbook level of long-lasting.

    Long hours of use at max brightness (outdoors) on wifi with no outlet in sight.

    Storage and memory

    RAM: 8GB

    SSD: NVME 256GB minimum, more preferred

    Price and availability

    Available in Canada. Refurbished OK. Used OK. Preferably under CA$1000, flexible.

    Additional info

    Undervoltable will be nice.

    Thank you!

    Replacement for XPS 13 9360 - USA, $1200-$2000ish

    Posted: 03 May 2022 09:50 PM PDT

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    $1200-$2000, USD in USA. At the high end I would want something quite future proof.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    My current XPS 13 9360 is the perfect balance of these things for me. Only reason I wouldn't just buy a new one is because of the lack of USB-A. Build Quality very important, Performance important, Ultrabook form factor moderately important, battery life nice to have.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Moderately important

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

    Totally fine with 13", would not want above 15".

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

    Run some Photoshop, dabble in lightweight video editing. Minimal gaming but some, so I need a machine that can handle all of that at least acceptably.

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

    Overcooked, lighter stuff like Mini Motorways, OK with less-than-top FPS/quality settings.

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

    USB-A port is nearly a requirement. I use an external keyboard that only has a USB-A and only works properly when directly connected (it always has major problems when connected through a dock)

    Touch screen nice to have.

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

    My current XPS 13 9360 is the perfect blend of performance, quality, and portability for me. I would definitely just buy a new XPS 13 if not for its lack of USB-A.

    Gaming Laptop Help - Overwhelmed With Options

    Posted: 03 May 2022 09:23 PM PDT

    Hello all.

    I am looking for a gaming laptop. I have a budget around $2,000. My current device is a M1 Mac, but as you can imagine most games do not work on M1, even with Parallels.

    I mainly play Xbox games on PC. I also run RetroArch, including PS2, Dreamcast, etc.

    I have been browsing BestBuy, but there are too many options. I prefer to stick with Ryzen for CPU. I am fine with either AMD/Nvidia for graphics card. The most intense PC game I play is Sword and Fairy 7. I am fine without 4K gaming, but I am uneasy about 1080P after being used to my Retina Mac.

    Here are some I was looking at:

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-15-6-qhd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-1tb-ssd-eclipse-grey-eclipse-grey/6448848.p?skuId=6448848

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-strix-g15-advantage-edition-15-6-qhd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-5980hx-16gb-memory-radeonrx-6800m-512gb-ssd/6486485.p?skuId=6486485

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-legion-slim-7-15-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-5800h-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-max-q-512gb-ssd-shadow-black/6470819.p?skuId=6470819

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-16-1-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-16gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-6600m-1tb-ssd-mica-silver/6479079.p?skuId=6479079

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-legion-slim-7-15-4k-ultra-hd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-5900hx-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-ti-1tb-ssd-shadow-black/6455135.p?skuId=6455135?skuId=6455135

    My only other requirement is looks. Being a Mac person, I'm sure you understand that mentality. I don't mind RGB, but I also don't want a massive monster looking thing, haha. Something sleek, but efficient.

    Let me know your thoughts either with my choices, or your own personal thoughts.

    LG Gram 17 2022 versus 2021

    Posted: 03 May 2022 08:35 PM PDT

    Would like some info on the differences between the LG Gram 17 2022 and the 2021. On Amazon are the only 2022 ones labeled '2022' or are some of the others this year as well (and if so, whats the easiest way to tell)? Is there much of a difference between the 2 years models other than the CPU, and is that alone a big enough difference to justify getting this year over last? Does the WQXGA screen justify a higher price (meaning, is it that much better?)

    Solid Non-Gaming Streaming Laptop help!

    Posted: 03 May 2022 08:27 PM PDT

    Hello, I'll let you know what I'm looking to use the laptop for.

    I sell collectible items online live. I'm looking to use OBS with two cameras connected. One would be phone connected wirelessly. Other would be HD Webcam plugged into laptop. I will then broadcast the stream to the website I use. Currently my laptop is outdated. Dealing with dropped frames and blurriness at times. I want a laptop that can handle these processes without any issues. If it so happens that I need a gaming computer then that's fine, I'm just not planning on using it for that really. I'm unsure how much the graphics card comes into play with this situation. Any advice/suggestions on what to buy would be greatly appreciated!

    Student needing a laptop for College (United States, $1000-$1200 USD)

    Posted: 03 May 2022 02:09 PM PDT

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm an incoming freshman in college and am looking to buy a laptop for school. I will be majoring in accounting so I just need this for simple programs like Microsoft office , no video editing, 3d work or gaming. I'm open to any suggestions, if you think I don't need a certain spec please let me know.

    I don't like MACs, and Windows is more popular in the professional world, so please no MACs, although I know that their M1 MacBooks are the best for the price.

    thanks

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      $1000-$1200 USD, would prefer closer to 1000 but willing to go up to 1200 to better match my request.
    • 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>battery life>performance>relatively small and thin>touchscreen would be nice but not necessary- (I would like for the laptop to last the full 4 years so I need it to be relatively well built. A good battery life would be great since I'll be using the laptop in most of my classes and won't be able to charge it all the time)
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      very important, I'll be carrying this around all day and would like it to be relatively light and thin to easily fit in my backpack.
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      about 13-15, I need the laptop to be portable so nothing over 16 inches.
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      No, as an accounting major I'm not playing on doing any CAD or video editing, only simple programs. I also won't be doing any gaming on this laptop, I have a separate one for that.
    • 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)?
      - good keyboard would be great as I'll be typing a lot while taking notes, for a similar reason a touch screen might be nice if I want to do any drawings in my notes but again not required. I'll be using numbers a lot so having a numpad would be a bonus but not necessary, specially if it makes the keyboard layout weird to type on.

    - for storage I think 512GB is best since I'll need to use it for 4 years and don't want to run out of space. 16GB RAM for memory is preferred but again not sure if its totally necessary, open to suggestions.

    -I think I'd like an 11th gen intel i5 or i7 (not sure what level I need) or an AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPU, which I've heard are more efficient than the intel 11 gen ones. Let me know your thoughts on what CPU I should look for as well.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      I've been looking at loads of laptops recently but just can't figure out what's a good buy. I've looked at the Asus Zenbook 14, HP envy x360, and other laptops so if you have any thoughts on those please let me know. Again I would like to say that my preferences are by no means set in stone and am open to suggestions as to what I should prioritize. Basically looking for a portable, well built laptop with decent specs and good battery life that will last me a while.

    Laptop for working, drawing and gaming | < 2500€ | Germany

    Posted: 03 May 2022 05:57 PM PDT

    I am searching for a Laptop with a Touch-Screen & Pen to draw on, that is capable of gaming & editing pictures as well as where i can organize shit/potentially use it in school.

    • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
      Would love to spend less than 2000€ but since my expectations are so high i think 2000€ - 2500€ is more likely
    • Are you open to refurbs/used?
      yes
    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
      Form Factor : 2-in-1/Convertible since I'd like to draw on it [theoretically, I really like the Surface Laptop Studio design but not sure how it is in practice]
      Build Quality : Very Important.
      Performance : also pretty Important - see below
      Battery Life : Should be decent [Don't know what to expect since every product info that exists is lying on that]
    • How important is weight and thinness to you?
      Everything else is more important but, of course, a more lightweight one would be awesome
    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
      14" or more
    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
      Programs like Photoshop & Paint Tool Sai [only as hobby, not professional]
      Different games. [I don't need highest graphic settings but I would like to have constant 60fps w/ medium settings in games like Valorant, LoL, Minecraft, Terraria]
    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
      Valorant | Medium Settings | 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)?
      Touch-Screen | Good Keyboard | Keyboard Backlight | IPS Panel | 2 or more USB/Thunderbolt Ports | Ethernet Port | reliable build quality
    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
      Storage : I don't save my data in any cloud so i need big storage. ![OR the possibility to upgrade]!
      Ideally it would have a small ssd for system and a 1-2 TB ssd for data/games - but I don't know if that's a thing in laptops [External drive wouldn't be too bad]
      RAM : 16 GB
      OS : Windows 10 or higher [doesn't have to be included]
      Cooling : Good and "quiet" !
      GPU : I don't think an integrated gpu would fulfill my wishes
      ---> I found the Surface Laptop Studio nearly perfect but maybe you have an alternative for me.
      I also heard that other Laptops [Like Dell XPS15] at this price range are better but maybe that's for the fact that the Surface is a convertible

    Hi, I'm looking for any recommendations for general use laptops. I'll mainly be using it for watching shows, browsing the internet, schoolwork, and playing some games. Preferably lighter weight with a decent battery life (6+ hours) and a good build quality. I'd really rather avoid Apple computers (not really used to them) and MSI (only had one but bad build quality). Thank you!

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

    $500 - 750 USD (Not a hard limit but around this range)

    Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    Form factor is not important. I don't need 2-1 or touchscreen or any of that. Preferably 6+ hours battery life Good build quality (My last computer had really bad hinges which was really annoying)

    How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Preferably under 3-4 pounds. Thinness is a plus but not that important. I just don't want a clunky laptop

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

    Ideally 15.6 inches

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

    No video/photo editing. Some light gaming such as Genshin Impact.

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

    Genshin impact is probably the most "intensive" game I'll be playing. Mid-graphic settings is enough for me (or even low isn't that big of a deal). At least 30 fps (60 is nice but not required)

    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 need touch screen or a fingerprint reader. Good build quality is very important since I don't want to buy a new laptop anytime soon.

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

    Preferably a laptop that doesn't make too much noise with the fan and doesn't overheat that easily.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Incoming CS student, which laptop should I buy and why? I'm leaning towards the xps 13 but I heard the MacBook is worth the money

    can my asus tuf f15 i7 11800h rtx 3060 run 1080 244hz?

    Posted: 03 May 2022 03:46 PM PDT

    I recently bought an Asus tuf f15 i7 11800h RTX 3060 and when I tried to connect the laptop to my other screen using the HDMI port I saw that it was using my CPU, I know that I have a USB 3.2 gen 2 type c DP 1.4 that is working but I'm not sure if it will transfer 1080p 244hz any chance that someone knows if it will?

    Computer science/gaming laptop for college

    Posted: 03 May 2022 03:04 PM PDT

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

    Very flexible but I'd probably say no more than 2000$, although if it was definitely worth it I'd consider.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Sure

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

    Performance matters most, battery life would also be very important (or Atleast have a good charger) and I don't want it to be super RGB or "gamer" looking if that makes sense. (I could always get a case though I just don't want something that looks stupid lol)

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not super important, but I don't want a brick in my backpack obviously

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

    Not super small (13 inches) not super big (like 17 inches)

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

    I used to edit as a side job, I don't do it much anymore but it would be nice to be able to run photoshop, after effects, premiere, Lightroom etc

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

    I mostly play rust and valorant, but I do occasionally like playing single player games aswell and whatever new multiplayer game comes out. I'd like 120 hz if possible and I'd like to be able to play at low/medium settings easily.

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

    Nah

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

    Would also love a screen resolution above 1080p. I was looking at the asus zephyrus g15 but I wanna see what else could be out there. Also if you guys have any reviews or thoughts on the g15 that'd be great! Thanks

    No.

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

    N/A

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

    Some music producing... Fruity Loops and Adobe Premiere for sound recording.

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

    I mostly play lowfi games... but let's say that maybe I want to play GTA Online.

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

    None

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

    Mostly looking for something that is cost effective. I guess I'm more interested in the difference between a 500 to 1000 dollar computer.

    From Sweden looking for gaming laptop below $1500

    LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

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

    15 000 SEK (Sweden)

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    No

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

    The only reason I'm getting a laptop is so I can bring it with me when I move between my parents' homes and other places where I will just be using it plugged in. I also have a pretty large bag so size isn't an issue. Will get to performance later.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not at all.

    • 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 do some 3D modelling, currently in MS 3D Builder but I plan on upgrading to blender or CAD at some point. I also plan on doing some occasional gaming. Windows required.

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

    Jedi Fallen Order sequel, Hogwarts Legacy, Scrap Mechanic, Universe Sandbox (might have forgotten something). As high settings as possible with smooth FPS (I literally don't know anything about this stuff but I've heard at least Intel core i5/AMD Ryzen 5 and RTX 3050/GTX 1060 and 144hz display are enough but something a little more powerful for future-proofing's sake would be nice)

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

    Good keyboard and touchpad and build quality are always nice. Nothing required though.

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

    Design is pretty important to me. Gaming laptops tend to either look like cheap blocks of plastic or criminally over-designed spaceships with RGB lights beaming everywhere. I know it's possible to strike a nice balance though, even leaning towards either of the two extremes, so that's where I'm aiming. Just note: If it's black with red details I'm not interested. Always hated that design trend. For reference, this ASUS TUF A17 that I found using this Pricerunner search (translate the sites) caught my eye with it's clean, yet leaning over-designed, design. On the opposite end, the recent HP Omens are really nice and simplistic-looking.

    I probably forgot something and I realize I provided the most info about my design preferences lol, but I hope this is an adequate amount of info. Thanks in advance for any potential help! :)
