• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Ultrabook (No need for fancy screen features like bending 360 or whatever)

• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15'
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Only some Photoshop, mostly Office programs. Lots of browser tabs.

• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I want to buy a brand new laptop for my dad as his 8 year old Lenovo Ideapad is dying on him. He lives outside of the US so I reckon I will have to get him a different charger but I wanted to surprise him when he visits me. He does his work on his laptop, watches a lot of YouTube, and keeps a lot of browser tabs open. I think the most important parts would be having at least 32 GB RAM, lots of storage (at least 1TB or more), and being lightweight so he can carry it around a lot. Oh and maybe at least a 1080p camera for his meetings.

Looking for something under $700 USD refurbished to run basic stuff plus Photoshop and Illustrator on, and I’m liking how the Acer Swift Go 14 is looking. I found these two on Acer’s refurbished ebay store, but I’m not good enough with computers to really know how to compare.

Hey guys, I am planning to purchase a laptop under 70k INR for Video Editing and I have come across

• Are you open to refurbs/used? no.
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Hoping for a laptop thatcan handle ~8 hours of usage without being charged if needed. No specific preference to build quality except i hope it can last a long time lol. No preference in form.

I've been using a macbook pro for the longest time and while i appreciate its value, I can't play games on it and have heard from friends that coding/programming isn't the best here.

Note: I know im supposed to add a flair, but i'm only being given the option to add tags.

Hey Y’all! I’m from Canada and am looking for a laptop (not a chromebook preferably). I have a budget of 700 and under preferably. We mainly use the laptop for gaming (rom hacks and such) and word processing. I would rather it be new but am opened to refurbished as long as it has a warranty or such. I’ve used a macbook in the past but it isn’t in the budget for me currently. Screen size and weight isn’t a big factor for me currently! Thanks all!

TIA everyone

I have accepted a fully remote job which I start in a few months, as part of this I am to buy my own laptop which which will be paid for by the company, there is not as such a fixed budget but realistically under 2k GBP/Euro. I don't want a Mac. I am considering an Asus Zenbook Duo (The New 2025 once it comes out) but am wondering if there are better options. At the moment with my current company I have a HP Zbook 17 Inch (i7) Laptop I extend and charge via a single USB-C cable to an external HP 24 Inch Monitor (with inbuilt USB C hub) and to that link another monitor, for a total of 3 screens. I have no issues with the setup.

I may later in the year try VanLife in which case power consumption and charging would become an issue, so something that can be charged from 12v/USB C would be preferable. Any thoughts on the earlier model Zenbook Duo form factor or better options with external monitors? Screen space is quite key for me. But I won't need to run demanding software or games.

I'm in the middle of med school looking for a bare bones laptop that will see pretty infrequent use. I usually study at a desktop, so it would really only be for reviewing notes, etc during mandatory lectures. Right now I have a Thinkpad t480 that I like a lot, but don't like how often I am fixing it. It would be nice to look at radiology/histology stuff through a better screen, but that's not a deal breaker.

Old I.T. was very chill, didn't care if we gamed on the weekends as long as we got out work done. New I.T.... Not so much. I've not kept up with computer specs AT ALL for the last 10 years and appreciate any help given! Less about the absolute best FPS, and more about having something solid that I can use for years and years.

I have narrowed my search down to

Lenovo Thinkpad L14 G3 Laptop | 13.3" FHD Multi-Touch Display | Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U | 16GB DDR4 RAM | 512GB SSD NVMe M.2

Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 3 Business Laptop, 15.6" Full HD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD

HP Elitebook 755 G5 15.6" Laptop AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 2700U 16GB RAM 256GB SSD

All are preowned and 300-400$. Mostly just doing work and college. Nothing crazy, but would like it to last. Any help is appreciated.

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

Max 3999 Euros, ideally 1000-2999 Euros. Luxembourg (France is okay for the websites that allow a different country for shipping, such as Amazon.).

Are you open to refurbs/used?

No.

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

I need enough battery life to get through 12 hours of on and off use, so 6+ hours of battery life would be ideal. I also want my laptop to be able to run video games, so 16+ GB of memory. I also want 500GB or even better, 1TB of storage. That's all.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

It needs to be able to fit in an average bag or backpack without breaking my back. I will not buy very bulky laptops, but also do not want tiny laptops.

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

Anything, as long as its enough to fit in a backpack.

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

Valorant, Genshin Impact, HSR, Gacha games in general.

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

60 FPS. I don't want potato graphics, and that's about it.

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

Preferrably not touch-screen. I need it to run Windows. I want a reliable touchpad, not an overly thin or small keyboard (I currently have a 2017 Macbook Air, and its keyboard is perfect). I need it to have a QWERTY keyboard, and a headphone jack.

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

It would be for daily use, so I want it to be easily transportable, and also no extremely loud fans. I am thinking of maybe buying a gaming computer, but do not want ones with patterns/designs on the laptop, or unremovable rainbow lights and decorations on the keyboard.

Hi!

Just joined a new company and sadly they do not offer WFH equipment. I am needing a windows and the work is legal work (Heavy on WordDocs, Adobe, ProLaw etc) . A bigger screen would be nicer but not a deal breaker

I basically intend to use this laptop as a versatile digital stand-in for a paper character sheet (during sessions of Dungeons & Dragons) through the use of Microsoft Excel, while also being able to pull up an internet browser and Discord at will during said sessions. I'm not completely against the idea of using a tablet instead but I prefer the tactile feel of a laptop (call me old fashioned). To be clear, this laptop will not be used for any online D&D sessions - only in-person. Also this is the first time I'm ever posting on Reddit so apologies if I missed anything. Thanks in advance.

I work at a University and they have a special deal/rate with Dell laptops, especially because of the support.

The last laptop I got was a Dell Latitude 9510, a little over 4 years ago. I liked it overall, but there were some issues toward the end of its life. The external speaker did not work at the end, and I had to keep getting new chargers for it. It was a 2-in1 because I thought I would be using the tablet mode much more than I actually did. I realize now that I should not necessarily go for the 2-in-1, but maybe get a good laptop and then separately get a good tablet, as opposed to trying to get both in one.

The budget is around $2000. I'm not paying for it, so I'm not looking to cut costs. I'd rather "pay" more now and the laptop last me longer. I can over the budget some, but it's probably best to stay within the parameters.

I'm not really a gamer or use the CPU for anything serious. The majority of the laptop use will be internet browsing, word processing, and watching videos.

I would rather "pay" more and have a lighter laptop rather than a heavier and bulkier one.

The Latitude 9510 had a 15" display. I liked that. I would rather stay around the same size. I could be convinced to go up in screen size as long as I didn't have to sacrifice the laptop being uncomfortably heavy.

I look forward to recommendations! Thank you.

Hoping the laptop can be used for some good amount of time with reliablity.

So as the title states, I wanted to buy a new laptop. I cannot choose between X13 of Flow and ProArt. I want a laptop which is 360 (I am used to stylus and digital art) and something with a good processor and gpu so that I can work on 3d modelling and stuff. Since I am a student and might need it for professional use in the future too.. I am going with the 13 variant and not 16. Please provide some insight and lemme know which one would be suitable. Rn in my mind flow x13 holds a good place cuz I getting almost the same features with a better refresh rate. Although I dont intent do heavy gaming, I get the sense why ProArt would be better than Flow. Please help me in this regard.

Also price is quiet a concern. Here the ProArt costs around $2K. I dont have any idea how I can check the price for Flow, its not listed anywhere. If anyone from India please let me know how I can purchase a Flow X13(atleast check the accurate price) for the 2023 model.

Danke Schon.

I'm hesitating between these four models. All have very similar specs :

• either Intel Ultra 9 or Ryzen AI 9
• at least 32GB RAM (some have optional 64GB)
• RTX 4070 (some have 4060)

Price points are similar, too, at around 2600-3000$ CAD.
