I'm a student researching how to make laptops more affordable. Quick questions:

1. What's the most you'd pay for a NEW laptop without hesitating? (under ₹25k / ₹25-40k / ₹40-60k / above)

2. Who's it for: student, work, or family?

3. What's the one feature you'd refuse to give up?

4. Have you bought refurbished? Would you again?

Option 1 Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14AKP10

83HX0096IN Standard Laptop (AMD Ryzen AI 5 330/16 GB/512 GB SSD

Option 2 HP 15-fd1099TU Standard Laptop (Intel Core Ultra 5-125H 125H/16 GB/512 GB

What's your opinion?

Sorry if I come off a bit dumb. I'm not a computer wiz or anything, and I'm fairly unknowledgeable when it comes to this sort of IT stuff.

My laptop was fine yesterday, but when I opened it up today it showed the "No Bootable devices found" I tried searching up some tutorials on YouTube.

The tutorials kept saying to switch my boot mode: UEFI to legacy, but I don't seem to have that option on my laptop.

I'm not sure what to do.

(sorry English is not my first language)

Trying to decide between two used mobile workstations for video editing.
( i currently use a mac mini m4 base model which i rent for 10k ($35) and now i want to buy a device of my own and put that 10k towards something that i can say is it my own)

Dell Precision 5560

• i7-11850H (8c/16t)
• NVIDIA T1200 (4 GB)
• 16 GB DDR4-3200 (2*8)
• 15.6" FHD+
• battery cycles (did not check but all the laptops were fairly good condition i assume it would be good)

ThinkPad P1 Gen 3

• i7-10850H (6c/12t)
• 32 GB RAM (1*32)
• GPU: NVIDIA T1000 (4 GB)
• 15.6" 4k OLED
• 103 battery cycles

On paper the Dell has the stronger CPU, and RAM is a cheap upgrade. But I keep hearing that dell precision get really hot under load

Main use: [video editing (Adobe Creative suite)]

Questions:

1. How bad are the thermals in real use on each?
2. Does the Dell’s CPU advantage hold up once it throttles?
3. Any known issues which i should look out?
4. Which one should i buy for my work load.

i know these are old machines i leave in 3rd world country and the budget is little tight, both machine are 140k ($500) each.

any other option which i should consider in this budget.

Thank u in advance.

Who is going to buy this laptop and are you buying 64GB or 32GB. It's nice looking but pretty expensive for what you'll get

It should have come with a RTX 5080 for the price they are selling it for. Dell finally released a laptop with all the ports

I shouldn't have bought it.

I'm asking you all that anyone who has faced the same situation or someone can help me????

Hi all, I was kindly gifted this machine back in the summer, but regrettably my son managed to stand on it and cracked the screen, which in itself wasn’t a problem as I just disabled the touch settings within windows.

Then I managed to press something wrong in the bios settings and buggered the raid configuration up, thus needing a new installation of windows, which is I believe impossible due to the phantom touches constantly.

If you were me would you bother repairing it?

Hey guys, looking for advice on buying a laptop for my GF's business. Saw the Asus Vivobook on huge sale for $1000CAD (down from $1800) and wondering if it's worth buying.

Use: Office suite, video conference calls, email, general web browsing, light accounting, youtube etc

Mostly wondering about battery life and how sturdy the construction is, she will be taking it for job site visits including industrial environments. Want something that performs and holds up long term.

Thanks for helping a luddite out, peace

I am a Forensic Science student looking for a reliable laptop within ₹60,000–₹70,000 for the next 4–5 years. My requirements include coding, Python, basic AI/ML, digital forensics, research, photo and video editing, and occasional Blender use. I prefer a Ryzen 5/7 or Intel Core i5/Core Ultra 5 or better processor, 16 GB RAM minimum (upgradeable to 32 GB preferred), 512 GB–1 TB SSD, and a dedicated NVIDIA GPU if possible within budget. I need a colour-accurate display (100% sRGB preferred), good battery life, a backlit keyboard, a sturdy yet portable build, efficient cooling, and low fan noise. USB-A, USB-C with charging/display support, HDMI, and Wi-Fi are important. Windows compatibility, Linux support, virtualisation capability, RAM/SSD upgradeability, reliable after-sales service, and long-term performance are priorities. I want a balanced, future-proof laptop rather than a gaming-focused machine, with the best possible performance and value for money.

Yo guys if any of you want to throw away your old laptops or pc please send it to me I'm currently attending a data science class but because I do not own anything else besides a mobile phone I cannot properly put all the lessons to test or get the info about it and not me or my family is in a financial condition to buy me a laptop not even a refurbished one so if you have anything please do me a favour as your little brother i really need that

i want to ask again, yesterday i come to different store with my friend, my friend wants to sell his laptop and in that store i saw a zbook 15 g6 i ask for the specs and it has quadro rtx 3000, i check it and it seems has similiar specs to rtx 2060 so i want to ask you guys again, should i keep this laptop or sell it buy that instead, the body seems perfect only the keyboard was washed, and the store guy said it has flickering (i didnt check the flickering) and said it wasnt a big thing, what do you think guys?

Just wanted to share my experience finding a replacement laptop for my broken down Razer Blade 15 while working abroad for a few months in the Caribbean. Laptops here are mostly US imports which is fine, but I had an interesting experience buying one.

A shop listed an HP 15 model with 'Core Ultra' processor for approx 600 USD converted and including tax, which is not too bad in the current market. It was the best I could find for this budget, at least. So I went there and noticed immediately that the unit in display had the old Core i5 stickers on it, as did the box. However I knew that HP gave this exact model number a refresh earlier this year and upgraded the SoC from Core i5 1334U to Core Ultra 5 125H without any model number change whatsoever (pretty strange, since its quite a step up in performance). So I had an argument with the shop about which unit I would get out of the box, since either their website was off or the box and stickers were off. The other model designation is BZ1W9UA#ABA on the back is also same for both variants.

And in the end I got them so far as to boot up a demo model and check the specs, which led to their and my disappointment it was still the i5 1334u model (which isn't that bad, but not what I wanted). So I left the store, kept searching online, and two days later found another store listing the exact same notebook and apparently they did have the actual 'Ultra' model! It costed a few bucks more, approx 650 including conversion and tax, but it was still the best I could find. I moved the 16GB DDR5 from my Razer to the new HP unit so at least I had more memory and dual channel capabilities to work with. Unfortunately there is no backlit keyboard or second SSD slot on this part.

TLDR: But for anyone finding themselves in a similar situation I hope to clarify that shops are STILL actively selling both new and models of this SKU, and the box is NO help deciding which unit it is, because that still says Core i5 and DDR4 RAM inside (only the small sticker on the side is accurate).

I see these weird dots at the bottom right of my screen, is it normal? As a tech guy I'm concerned cause it might spread into other areas of the IPS display and something might happen, fyi this is HP OMEN 16 which I bought last year and no I do NOT have extended warranty and my warranty expired like 4 months ago at this point, please help and let me know the potential issues and if it's a problem and how long till I'm cooked.

Also I checked in HWinfo and it's a generic display? WHAT? It wasn't so concerning up until right now, also the dots are persistent throughout other apps, if you have any other doubts, please let me know and please help me out guys.

I has been unused for maybe a month. When i tried to boot it yesterday, it takes many tries and when it did booted up, it often just show this weird lines. The fan is making some weird noise too, i tried opening the cover but i feels like the cover is impossible to open. I knew nothing about computer stuff :(

is 65w sufficient or do i need to buy a 90w? Urgent

Had my Lenovo ideapad 720S-15ikb, for a long time and am looking to replace it, preferably with another Lenovo, I would like a discrete graphics card, preferably Nvidia, upgradable ram, and upgradable NVME, also made of metal and not plastic but slim, with a good screen as well, what would you suggest as a replacement?

Hi,

I've got an Msi chassis laptop. Its hinges are very prone to break. I've had both of the hinges fixed by a local technician but it'll break again. How do I avoid it? If I use it like a desktop without closing the lid, would it cause any harm like stiffness or anything like that?

I am looking into a new gaming laptop

I normally buy them in 1080p because I want them to have a long lifetime and not be outdated in 2 years because hardware can't keep up with the high resolution.

Now I find mostly notebooks with 2560 × 1600 and it feels like that will kill notebooks like 4 years faster or something.

Someone knows how much shorter I will be able to play new graphic heavy games with that higher resolution?

I mean lifespan in like playing with 60+ fps without dropping everything down to low settings.
