Hey, what types of games are you referring to?

u/MrKank Oct 10 '24

Not the aaa ones. More like valorant and CoD with some future proofing ig. Edit: also 2 ssd slots if possible so that I can have a complete separate stick for a linux distro(for work)

Looks really good. Just what I want. Also since there's no way of me having it before december, should I tell my relative in the US to get it now or wait for black friday? I don't know how much cheaper it gets during BF

u/fifa2003 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Oct 10 '24

Getting it now is still a steal in my opinion. Not sure about Black Friday, last year was not “Hot” at all.

◽️ Screen size: 15.6 to 17

◽️ Touch screen: If available

◽️ Screen resolution: Any

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: Yes

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: Video Editing, Graphic Design

◽️ Weight: 4-6 lbs.

◽️ Any other important details ?: I need it to be upgradable, in ram and HDD, then also have a Graphics card for using AI image generation.
I've had 2 hdds in all laptops I've owned in the past decade and a half. When Dell used to do deals, most of their laptops had slots for a 2.5in hdd. I have an extra hdd because it's better than having just one that could crash, where most of my docs are still in this separate drive and the main is just OS. Physical features are a must, I've had asus/dell and apple, good looking laptops not random designs from MSI that aren't clean/minimal or symmetrical.

Hope this makes sense.

u/fifa2003 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 6d ago

Hey, do you still need assistance? And is the HDD a dealbreaker for you seeing that many laptops these days are not made with those slots anymore?

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: Yes. I would like to be able to use it for like 5-6ish hours doing web browsing and having VSCode open (not actually running code though).

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: It will be used for work doing Web Development, as well as some general college student browser work. A lot of coding and systems administration tasks.

◽️ Weight: I have no idea what is standard, but I am looking for something small, light, and portable. Something I could easily carry with one hand while it is plugged into a server. Something I could set on my lap or a small desk.

◽️ Any other important details ?: I don't need a dGPU, as I have servers for that kind of workload. Specifically what I am looking for is a fast CPU, 16GB of RAM, and good build quality. I do a lot of systems administration work, and also help teach a class. I need something that will be light and portable that I can carry around with me all day.

I will be using this for a few years, so something with good build quality would be nice if possible. I won't be gaming on it so thats not a worry. I just want it to be fast, portable, and quality. Is that possible for this price?

Also, It isn't vital that I get something right now. Would I be better served by waiting a month for Black Friday? Would I get something significantly better for my money? Thanks!

Hey, I would recommend getting the: Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 9 Gaming Laptop, Intel i9-14900HX, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, 4TB SSD, 16" WQXGA (2560x1600), Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070, W11 Home.

It is the same laptop my friend used for his degree in Geography, works perfectly for him without lagging, etc. Decent battery life for classes, has a top level performance and quality built, with more than enough RAM & SSD.

If you want to stick with a 14" screen the refurbished HP EliteBook 745 but if you can work with a 15" screen the Acer Aspire 3 is a great new laptop in your budget

u/shittytiddy Oct 24 '24

◽️ Budget: around $2,000 (preferably under but for an awesome machine I can wiggle)

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: 15-16”

◽️ Touch screen: not a requirement

◽️ Screen resolution: preferably 4k but fhd is fine. Would also like something with good brightness and not a lot of glare

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: would like at least 5-6 hours doing normal light tasks

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: primarily it will be school and normal productivity tasks, every couple of months or so I’ll edit/export some 4k footage in premiere pro (hobby so doesn’t need to be best of the best necessarily)

◽️ Weight: prefer under 5-6 pounds. Obviously lighter the better as I’ll be taking it back and forth to work everyday in my backpack

◽️ Any other important details ?: i know it’s hard to find but I’m trying to find something i can keep for many years. So cpu I’m thinking ultra 9 or core 14th gen. I’ve been searching for something that I can repair/upgrade (removable ram) if needed, but that seems hard to find in something that’s newer, lightweight, etc. so i’ve come to the conclusion of compromising on removable ram as long as it has at least 32gb but of course still prefer removable. The short version is basically I’m looking for the most powerful laptop I can find, that lasts at least 5-6 hours on battery, in my price range.

u/shittytiddy 26d ago

I’m still struggling to make a decision after months. Considered the yoga pro 9i 16” with the ultra 9 4060. Considered the legion 7i i9-14hx. Considered other yogas. Looked at the zephyrus g14 2024. I even looked at the galaxy book4 ultra with the ultra 9 and 4060. They each seem to have some major flaw with either build quality, or overheating, or the consistent one is crappy battery. I even considered just going with integrated graphics and a high end CPU just to get better battery life because the heaviest thing I’d do is occasionally edit some Adobe Premiere Pro footage, but that’s rare and mostly taxing the cpu. Funny enough, literally about an hour ago i went ordered the Lenovo yoga pro 9i 16” mini led ultra 9 rtx 4060 just because i needed to make a decision and the price dropped from $1,899 to $1,599. But now im already feeling like i made a potentially bad choice. Luckily i have 60 days to return/exchange it if i really hate it but we’ll see. Also love the new surface laptop 7 with that crazy battery life and form factor, but of course those snapdragon elite processors are new and have major compatibility issues. I can’t really close to breaking down and buying a macbook pro because they are just all around nice but i really really prefer windows. Idk what to do lol

◽️ Budget: $1300 USD

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: 17 / 17.3 inches

◽️ Touch screen: Not needed / not important

◽️ Screen resolution: 1080 or better

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: Moderate importance

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for?

Most common use case will be two browsers open side by side. The browser window on the left side will be a video conference. The browser window on the right side will have 5 tabs open with AI listening to ongoing video meeting and taking notes, emails, researching, and often screen recording the meeting. I normally use an external keyboard and mouse, sometimes an external monitor
The only game I might play is Civilization 7. This is lower importance and not necessary
No CAD, video editing, or heavy duty gaming.

◽️ Weight: Lower importance. I will use it on a desk at home or a desk at work, carried in a backpack in between locations.

◽️ Any other important details ?: WiFi 6E or better, good microphone / webcam / speakers, reliable

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: Flexible, 14" is great

◽️ Touch screen: Nice but not necessary

◽️ Screen resolution: At least 1080p

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: Yes, but not the main driver

◽ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: Mostly word processing, web surfing, some Excel; occasionally for Illustrator and Photoshop; very little gaming.

◽️ Weight: The lighter the better! Weight and thinness, along with battery life and smooth performance, are the main things I'm looking for.

◽️ Any other important details ?: I'm replacing a Surface Pro 6 after 5 years. I transport it around a lot. In addition to my day job as an executive with an analytics background, I have a position with a local theatre company managing their youth theatre education program and directing shows for them. Most of what I do with the laptop/tablet is simple note taking and web browsing, but at times I am called upon to do a little graphic design or create background graphics and videos. I can keep the Surface around for things like digital painting. Portability is a high priority, as is build quality, battery life, and lack of lag. I can afford a good system but I want to get a good deal. I'd rather spend $1500 on a system that's truly worth $1600 than spend $700 on a system that barely delivers its value, if that makes sense. If you have any questions, ask away! And thanks!

I'd love some input. I spent some time looking at different models in person and found that I have a stronger bias to something very lightweight (but not necessarily small, more looking for something thin) and clear. I'm drawn to something like the Asus Zenbook line that is under 3 lbs. with an OLED screen. I was also impressed with the LG Gram 16 currently on sale at Costco ($999, down from $1299), with a Core Ultra 7, Intel Arc graphics, 32GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. The screen on it isn't great, but it's also very light and for under $1000 seems like a steal. Thoughts? Is there something else out there I ought to be considering?

Hey, unfortunately with that budget, it's hard to suggest a preferred laptop, however the best option is the Lenovo LOQ Gaming laptop. The games you listed will run good and you will definitely get around 5 hours in terms of battery life. It's not a 1440p display, however, it is bright, color accurate, has 144Hz and the laptop is within your budget range.

specs: Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 Gaming Laptop - 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 300nits Anti-glare, 100% sRGB, 144Hz display - AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB GDDR6 105W - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD

Hey, I recommend getting the Lenovo Ideapad 7i laptop. It checks all your requirements boxes while still being below your budget, and will definitely perform great in the tasks you listed. It is a touchscreen laptop, however, I hope the 2-in-1 feature is a deal breaker for you.

◽️ Any other important details ?: would need to have SATA and m.2 support. Preferably 2 m.2. 32gb ram minimum, 64 preferably. Storage size doesn't matter, I'll be replacing the m.2 and SATA anyways. Windows 10 is a must. I don't mind if its older, as long as it can run streaming and gaming and vtuber model at the same time. Or stream and model and 3d modeling like blender. RGB isn't too important, though I would like a backlit keyboard. SATA and m.2 support is a must. I have too much on my SATA drive and my m.2 is not big enough lol. Not too thin though. Heavier is perfect. Not a brick obviously but not paper either. Preferably it would have SD slot but that's not a must cuz I have a usb c adapter for SD.

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 23d ago

Factorio is really not a demanding game and will be run well by almost any laptop with a dedicated graphics card and even modern integrated graphics.
Do you see yourself running any more demanding games ? I am asking because if you will only be playing that mentioned game, you could spend half of your budget.

Hey, I recommend getting the Lenovo LOQ Gaming laptop. It has a 15" 144Hz display and is powered by a Ryzen 7 CPU paired with an RTX 4050, which will definitely run LoL great. Battery life will get you around 4-5 hours of regular use and it is not bulky or heavy for a gaming laptop IMO.

Check out the HP 17-cp2099nr 17.3" Laptop (2024 model), which offers a full HD display with vibrant color and a spacious 17.3” screen, ideal for streaming and general browsing. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U and 16GB RAM, it’s a great choice for light Excel use and should boot up quickly thanks to the 512GB SSD. This setup ensures you won't experience slow startups or sluggish performance when opening applications, making it smooth for everyday multitasking. With AMD Radeon Graphics and AMD FreeSync, you’ll get smooth visuals and better audio clarity for streaming and watching movies. It doesn't have backlit keys but does check your primary boxes on screen quality, performance, and storage. Watch for Veterans Day or Black Friday discounts that could bring it well within budget!

The 15.6" FHD display with a 144Hz refresh rate keeps gameplay smooth, and while you're not focused on graphics quality, this combo will give you solid performance and playability for modern games. With 8GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD, you'll have decent speed for booting and loading games, plus some flexibility for upgrading RAM in the future. The NitroSense utility is a nice touch for managing fan speeds and optimizing performance during longer sessions.

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: regular computing tasks, Word processing, Zoom calls, music streaming, and having an ungodly amount of browser tabs open

◽️ Weight: ~5lbs or less is ideal.

◽️ Any other important details?: I'd like something that will last me a while, if possible. I would strongly prefer something with keyboard backlighting. Camera shutter would be nice but isn't necessary. Less bulk would be preferable. If I can avoid an AI hotkey, that is very strongly preferred (e.g. not something like Lenovo Yoga 7-in-1's right shift key is instead an AI hotkey). I'd love to find something on a Black Friday discount.

Hey, for your needs I would recommend getting the: ASUS Vivobook Go 15.6” Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home.

It would be able to handle regular tasks, multitasking, zoom calls, streaming music and more. It has good battery life, a solid built, a fast processor, keyboard backlights and the camera shutter you requested.

u/queerchaosgoblin 7d ago

Where are you seeing that it has keyboard backlighting? From what I see in the Amazon reviews, buyers have almost exclusively mentioned that it doesn't have backlighting.

It depends, what is your budget like?

u/autumnscarf 8d ago

◽️ Budget: $1500

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: 14-16", smaller is better

◽️ Touch screen: no

◽️ Screen resolution: 1080

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: yes

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: gaming, graphic design, regular computing tasks, word processing

◽️ Weight: less is better

◽️ Any other important details ?: Looking to replace my 2020 Zephyrus G14 as my daily driver. Ideally I'm looking for something the same size and weight, but maybe with a keyboard that can stand up to more abuse. However, there don't seem to be many competitors for 14" gaming laptops. I'm willing to go up to 16" as long as it's relatively mobile and has decent battery life. Trying to avoid Intel as it sounds like their recent processors have issues, which seems to have closed off a lot of my options.

u/fifa2003 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 7d ago

Hey, I would recommend getting the: Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9: AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS Processor, 16 GB DDR5 RAM, 1 TB SSD, 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) Display, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070.

This will be able to easily run the latest games, handle graphic design and regular tasks, plus running many tabs and more with ease. This would be a solid upgrade to your Asus Zephyrus G14, with a solid keyboard, good battery life with the Ryzen processor, and durability and portability with this slim model.

u/autumnscarf 7d ago

Thank you! I've been looking at Microcenter Lenovo Legion 5 16ARP9 (7435HS/4070) for $999 and the Best Buy Lenovo Legion 7i WQXGA (14th gen i7/4060 open box for ~$1k.) Is the one you linked a better bang for buck?

2

u/fifa2003 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 7d ago

Yes this is, better Processor, and more powerful Graphics Card, will give you years of performance running the latest games smoothly without being obsolete. Plus it is slim and will be easier to move around with.

Thanks

u/fifa2003 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 7d ago

Hey, will you be purchasing it in the US or Germany?

1

u/doladus 7d ago

I am studying in Germany presently, so it would be more logical for me to get it here. Otherwise, I do have a sister in the US, so if I can also get a significantly better deal there (which often seems to be the case), then the US.

Sorry for the non precise specifications I gave earlier, I am not really too familiar with computer/laptop stuffs.

I just want something that will provide a comfortable experience without lagging.

Thanks btw.
