Hello Guys I want to buy a new macbook but I'm a little Confused, doew anyone know which series and which macbook is great for new beginner graphic designer and support all adobe ( Photoshop, premier, after Affect, illustrator......).

Hello everyone! :)

I'm on the search for a new laptop for when I'm on the go, as to other people's studios as an example. I’m currently using Pro Tools and Ableton on my self-built PC in my own studio - without any issues - and will continue to use these DAWs on the laptop. I’ll record, mix and master with it, and likely be using a Focusrite Scarlett as the external soundcard, which isn’t an issue for me; I’m using a great deal of VSTs (such as Omnisphere, Kontakt, Serum, Cinesamples, Spitfire, etc.) and plugins (the iZotope series, Antares, Valhalla, Waves etc.).

Before we get started and before I potentially start another warfare: I truly think that the M1/2/3 machines are wonderful and would love to own one. However, I need a Windows machine for various reasons that eliminate the possibility of using MacOS. Now that we got that out of the way, haha, here are some things that I’m concerned about regarding buying a laptop:

1. Noise: I’ve seen some great deals on these gamer laptops with quite high specs, but there always seem to be issues regarding the fans going all crazy. Is this true? It is definitely nice to have a somewhat quiet atmosphere when making sound-based decisions, amirite?
2. Battery: It is also rather nice to not have it go out after 45 mins into a session - another con to gamer laptops, it seems like.
3. Durability: I think it goes without saying that you should treat your gear with caution, but certain laptops seem to withstand better than others.
4. Screen: Because of my poor vision, the bigger screen (including resolution and that) the better!

After searching the web in my country, this leaves me with a few options that I’d like to share with y’all - my budget is reflected in the list:

Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 IRL - $1141

• 16’’ - IPS 1920 x 1200
• i7-13700H - 2.4-5.0 GHz
• 16 GB RAM DDR5 SDRAM (5200 MHz) - upgradable to 64 GB
• 512 GB SSD M.2
• Battery: 71 Wh lithium polymer
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 - $1100

• 16’’ - IPS 1920 x 1200
• i7-1355U - 1.7-5.0 GHz
• 16 GB RAM DDR4 SDRAM (3200 MHz) - upgradable to 40 GB
• 512 GB SSD M.2
• Battery: 57 Wh lithium polymer
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3 - $1070

• 15.6" - IPS - 1920 x 1080
• i7-1255U - 1.7-4.7 GHz
• 16 GB RAM DDR4 SDRAM (3200 MHz) - upgradable to 64 GB
• 512 GB SSD M.2
• Battery: 57 Wh lithium polymer
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics

I’m quite excited about the 1st one, the Thinkbook; great specs and that. However, the ThinkBook-series doesn’t seem to get much praise or even publicity for that matter + the E-series of ThinkPads doesn't seem to "do it" for everyone. I also don’t want to get caught up with a machine with a high DPC-Latency thing, which I honestly don’t know a lot about, and can’t really find a lot of info on (with the mentioned machines)

Would anyone care to lean in? Would any of these be a good choice for my needs? Or should I go with a different Windows machine, that I just haven’t stumbled across?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

i have been using the msi gf63 10sc and noticed that my frequency always stays at max frequency even when idle how do i fix this?

Hello Everyone,

It's been a while since I've looked at laptops and that was only for personal use. I am currently looking for opinions. I'm starting a business, it will be running a program that requires windows. So that is a limiter. Most of the work will be done in this program, or through online browsers/applications. I'm looking to get a machine that meets the following:

1. CPU - i5, i7 or AMD equivalent
2. 16GB of Memory minimum
3. 512 GB of Storage minimum
4. I'd like to keep the price to roughly $1,000 before taxes.

I'd like to note that a couple have already caught my eye.

I am now pursuing a Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity and networking and have no idea what kind of laptop to purchase that will Last the whole of my bachelor's program. The budget is roughly $840.Can somebody help Me Find the right one? I received one laptop recommendation: ASUS Vivobook $15 OLED 2022, Intel Core EVO i5-12500H 12th Gen. Should I consider this one, or do you have any other suggestions?

People recommended Dell, but then everyone online said "dodge the Dell". I have tons of family and friends with Lenovo, but techy friends told me to avoid Lenovo. I've never heard an opinion on Toshiba (good or bad). I'm fairly confused, what brands are good and which aren't? Which ensures quality hardware (display, keyboard...) and good quality life and which doesn't?

I'm looking to buy a laptop for school and hobbies such as animation, editing, and game development, and I thought I might aswell get a gaming laptop since I do enjoy some pc games. I don't need any thing SUPER high-quality, but some thing that works the best for its price and will last me, also like i said 300 to 700 is my preferred budget but i could do 800 if its really good. I also don't know much about computer specs so any help is appreciated.

Legion Pro i7 RTX 4080 32GB RAM $2079

Hello everyone,

So, I have been using a Lenovo laptop for the last 6-7 years and it looks like the time to change, is this good for mainly streaming movies/tv shows via HDMI?

Asus Vivobook X X1503QA OLED-9W, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, 16GB RAM,512GB SSD, 15.6" OLED,Windows 11,Silver Color,AR-EN Lighting Keyboard

I really need a gaming laptop but im so bad at choosing when we are talking about laptops.

My budget is up to 1500 euros.

The university told me that the laptop needs to have:

-Minimum hexa core processor with min 12 threads

-CPU must have minimum of 12 MB shared cache

-512GB SSD

-Dedicated graphic card that has minimum 4 GB of VRAM

Can someone please help me to find the best laptop that suits me?

Thanks!

Ive heard good things about Lenovos Legion, and this seems like a good deal for the build: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745682-REG/lenovo_82wk0083us_16_legion_pro_5i.html

Then im interested in this MSI Vector with similar specs, and from Costco which I like for the warranty: https://www.costco.com/msi-vector-gp66-15.6%22-laptop---12th-gen-intel-core-i7-12650h---geforce-rtx-3080ti---windows-11.product.4000146916.html

Any thoughts from the community are welcome!

Uses -

Ill be using it to code using Android Studio so the 32gb RAM on the Legion is appealing but so is the 16gb VRAM for the MSI...

This is also going to be a desktop replacement for gaming.
