What I use for:

• Local WP website development, (XAMPP, wordpress studio, etc, will be hosting multiple server & sites opened at the same time.)
• Windows 11 & the workspace/screen separation function
• Laptop screen + 2 more screens (hdmi + lightening usb-c)
• Extremely portable required. - 14inch and lightness required, i'd bring it outside everywhere with additional portable screens (need thunderbolt to transmit audio and power to the portable screens)
• Have 10+ browsers open each with 20-30 tabs open. (goes with windows 11 multiple workspace screen separation) And whole bunch of apps open at the same time.
• bonus running local ai tools locally.
• Good for 6-8 years.
• thunderbolt ports are important
• DCI-P3 Screen - required
• minimum 500nit brightness.

Basically I've narrowed down to these options

I'm mostly stuck between Asus Zenbook U7 & U9. U9 will last me longer and also I get to enjoy a marginally faster processor from day 1. And its the lightest and with 2 thunderbolt. (Weight really plays an important role to my use-case.)

Base on my requirement, what would be the best option? Thank you very much in advance for your expert opinion.

Anyone have experience with both? They seem to be quite similar on paper, but can't decide which one to get.

Both are on sale right now on Bestbuy. Lenovo about $150 less than the samsung.

Hi everyone. For my new job I will need to learn a foreign language. For language learning in the past, I have used Anki (which allows you to make your own flashcards, with images/audio/video/etc.), along with Microsoft Office/Videoconference Software.

As such, I am looking for a laptop for $1000 (or less) with the following qualities:

• High Storage Space (to hold decks with 1000s of flashcards).
• High Speed (as I have had issues in the past with lag).
• Capable of handling Zoom/YT videos with no issues (for lessons/flashcard creation).
• Quality Internal Speakers (I know laptop speakers are not great generally, but will need somewhat decent speakers).

Before anyone asks, my job is paying for this, hence me getting a laptop solely for languages lol. Apologies for my lack of knowledge with computer specs and thank you in advance for your advice!

This is not considering any prices because it’s being offered as a grad gift for me. The only main difference is touch screen, but I’m not sure if the build quality makes any big difference in the decision you would make

Hey guys so i did a post the other day but Amazon is being long with my parcel so wondering if anyone has another suggestion for me!

I'm looking for a laptop that'll do me for a few years, only light work to teach English online via camply and other webcam websites!

Doesn't need to game hard or edit and things but would be cool if I can chuck some more ram in there and things :)

Gonna be travelling south America with it in the backpack so don't wanna buy something crazy good! Cheeers thanks gang

I got recommended the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i and he tried ordering it but I'm in New Zealand and seems to be taking sometime... Any other recs ?

Thanks people :))

if not,what are some recommendations in the 700ish range

HP 16-C0500/Ryzen 7 5800H/16GB Ram/512GB SSD/RX 6600M 8GB/16" 165Hz

Hello! Gonna be using this laptop during my undergrad studies for mechanical engineering with CAD software, such as solidworks, being the primary task. However, general tasks and classwork will also be a use cases.

Here are the priorities listed in order of importance:

1. Budget: around $1500 USD
2. Focusing on CPU performance
3. 120+ Hz Refresh rate
4. 15+ in. Display
5. Not a gaming laptop (don't want to overpay for unutilized GPU performance and not interested in RGB)
6. No numpad please :D

Also, not open to refurbs or used options

I'm looking to purchase a laptop for normal workloads (programming), general office work and light gaming. After looking for a bit, I found an IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 9 (16 inch version) with the following specs:

Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16 GB LPDDR5X-6400MHz, 512 GB SSD @ 2242MHz, 84 Wh battery, 2560 x 1600 IPS screen @ 120 Hz.

Is this laptop a good value for the price of 900€ ?

There is also an Intel alternative with the same specs and a Core Ultra 5 125H. Would there be any benefit of choosing the 125H over the 8845HS?

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase: ~1600€, Europe (Italy)
• 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 just want something with a decent battery and that's not noisy or will overheat.
• How important is weight and thinness to you? Not too much, i will use it mostly at home.
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Not too small, i think around 16' is good.
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Adobe Premiere and other programs of the Suite but is not my main priority.
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I want to be able to play like most of the games, not at maximum settings but enjoy them without too much compromises.
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Nope
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I need to buy a new laptop, primarily for gaming. I want a PC that is durable, quiet, and reliable—something simple for a peaceful life.

I saw two laptops that maybe could be a fit for me.

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

No real budget, willing to spend some extra if it matches the needs, but I'm expecting it to land in the $750-1500 range.

Are you open to refurbs/used?

No, looking for new. Specifically want to have the new warranty on it.

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

1. Build quality
2. Form factor
3. Performance
4. Battery life

How important is weight and thinness to you?

It's probably the most important part. Looking for 3lbs or less. Edit: Was told 3.5 lbs at max or less.

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

14-15 inches

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

This laptop will be used for web browsing, Excel, and Word. Needs to run Windows, no Mac or Linux. It does not need to be high specced at all, but should be able to do all of that without any waiting or excessive load times.

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, reliable build quality, and good touchpad are key. Does not need to have a finger print reader or anything fancy (touch screen might be useful but not high priority)

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

This is going to be a personal laptop for a family member. Home use and some light business/tax work. It will be plugged in at a desk for most of it's life but will need to be light as the user does travel with it a lot. They will wait to work until they are at a desk and can plug it in. I would just get them a 14 inch Mac because the build quality/weight/screen build are all in line but this user needs a Windows laptop and the newer macs cannot run Windows via bootcamp at the moment. Plus I wouldn't want to introduce any complexity with bootcamp as I will not be around in case anything goes wrong. The user is not particularly tech savvy.

Edit: I would get a Dell XPS 14 but unfortunately its coming in a little high on the weight at 3.7 lbs: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/xps-14-laptop/spd/xps-14-9440-laptop

Hey all,

so I am now fortunate enough to have a bit money to finally start some live streaming. I tried it before with my MacBook Pro (2015 model) and I managed to get it to work, as long as I only work with screencapture and sound in my Ableton sessions. But its really not that good tbh. Framedrops and delay are always happening.

Currently, I want to spend 400 - 500 € (or less) for a good Gaming/Streaming Laptop. I just don't know where to start because I'm new to Windows, Graphics, Processors etc (pls don't judge me. I mostly produce music and make some visual art, for that my Mac was a good catch). So where do I look? Where do I start? Is ebay a reliable shop for stuff like this? Are there any models that I should consider? What is a red flag? Is 500€ max too cheap for a good quality setup?

It's not important for me how the laptop looks, how heavy it is or what ever. Only thing is, if it already has a good webcam that I can use for streaming, that would be a plus.

I'm happy for any suggestions. It can be a used laptop as well, as long as everything works, I don't care.

Hi all,

I have a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i rtx4080 for work and it's an absolute beast, but it's heavy as hell and the battery life is comically bad.

I'm looking for a laptop for light work (MS office, maybe light premiere pro, hosting zoom webinars) that travels well and has good battery life. The plan is to remote to the Legion for the high power work.

Budget is around 750 max, and I'm fine with refurbished etc.

• thankyou pls help

Hello all,
Just bought a SGIN M17 Pro . It wouldn't start at all. Charged the battery till the red light beside the power plug turned blue. Tried with power adapter connected and disconnected.
All it does when I press the power button is blue power indicator light blinks for an instant and nothing else happens. When I press and hold that button for extended period of time that blue indicator blinks from time to time and that's it. I opened that creature and removed SSD which, by the way is of the regular NvMe size but has an additional opening without which the regular NvMe doesn't fit in this one. Without SSD this thing behaves exactly same way as with SSD - when power button is pressed, it blinks for a moment and nothing else happening, no sound, no activity on the display.
Any ideas?

Which model is better to choose: Legion 5 15IAH7H (82RB00E9PB) or Legion 5 15ARH7H (82RD005XPB)?

The main differences are AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (6C/12T, 3.3/4.5GHz, 3MB L2/16MB L3) and Intel Core i5-12500H, 12C (4P+8E)/16T, P-core 2.5/4.5GHz, E- core 1.8 / 3.3GHz, 18MB Resolution: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 15.6" WQHD (2560x1440) IPS is it worth having a bigger one? Operating time in relation to the resolution and power supply power 300W vs 230W. Thank you

Basic Microsoft Office work, browsing, YouTube for entertainment and maybe, maybe editing some GoPro footage from vacation. But that is a stretch. I guess my main thought is the memory/ storage a big deal if I have a 2TB external hard drive I use for most of my storage? Links below to where I’d buy.

I have been debating between getting a new labtop or actually going for a desktop. Since I don’t game I think a labtop would be fine. Is that right?

I am using it specifically for work and have my old labtop that died connected to these two monitors. — https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34um68-p-ultrawide-monitor as my main — https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-4k-uhd-usb-c-monitor-s2722qc/apd/210-bbqt/monitors-monitor-accessories - as the side in portrait

What labtop can handle being connected to these two? I can use a dock if needed to as it will be for WFH. Whats a good dock?

From research, I believe I need an internal GPU but anything else I should consider?

My budget is around $2-3k

Bought the MacBook Air M2 - and I dislike it. Thought I would because I use other Apple products so wanted to join the “ecosystem”.

So I am wanting to go back to Windows.

I have typically used HP and Dell and prefer Intel over AMD.

Any recommendations for an equivalent if not better laptop.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have a desktop PC, but I'd like to get a laptop too, so I'm not tied down to one place. I need it mainly for work, not gaming, as I have a desktop for that purpose. I work in online marketing, so I need a laptop that can smoothly handle multiple browser tabs, image editing software, and other programs like Anti detect browser. I'm considering the Macbook Air M2 (2022), but there's a wide range of Windows laptops available, some of which are cheaper. It's important that it's thin and easily portable.

Here are a few examples I've looked at: Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 82K20084HV , HP Victus 16-S0000NH , HP Victus 16-S0000NH , Asus FX506HE-HN178VW , Asus Vivobook Flip TP3402VA-LZ037TW , Asus TUF F15 FX507ZC4-HN056W , Macbook Air M2 (2022)

Hello! I'm starting med school in England in September. I currently have a Macbook Air M1. I cannot stand MacOS and desperately want a windows laptop. All my university work is done through Microsoft (e.g. powerpoint, docs, excel). I've worked on a thinkpad in the past, but ended up ditching it because of the battery life. Because my university hours will be super long, battery life is an absolute must. Ideally, 6-8 hours without needing to plug in. UK suggestions would be appreciated (as that's where i'm currently situated), but my dad lives in the US and would be able to bring over a laptop when he helps me move into accommodation (so US suggestions are welcomed too).
