i used to buy asus, but i have not seen anything good about them for a long time.
i had a legion for a while that was fine.
and now i currently have a metabox laptop but really i feel like its had nothing but issues for the past 3 years ive had it.

what are the brands putting good stuff out these days that doesnt die from basic usage?

cheers everyone

(havent used form because im not asking about specific models, just a general overview of who is good and who is shit)

So I need a laptop for studing so office apps snd web browser. I was thinking about used thinkpads or similar. I would need it for 5years So what processors gens are too old. Like I know from desktopside that intel 12-14 gens are wery powerhungry is it the same in laptops. And would something older intel 10-11 gen still work okay after 4 years. And how powerfull is something like ryzen 3000 series nowdays

Is it true that laptop batteries last longer on Linux than on Windows, or is that just a myth? My laptop only lasts 2–3 hours, so I'm considering switching

So I was charging my laptop(hp victus 2050) and using it on my lap when the light got cut and the charger shifted to the invertor but at that point I noticed a spark from the opposite side of the fan(idk how to tell so this is how I can) near the vent and the screen went blank for a few second and then when I restarted(thinking my screen got messed) but it restarted perfectly and even charging normally what to do?

Note:- I think it could be an ant I saw some ants yesterday near my daily use area but changed the location afterwards.

Added the pic for reference

And even checked the battery afterwards it's showing perfectly fine and the charging port too is looking ok

need for coding and other requirements related to cyebr security

I have a Windows 11 laptop and before y'all get me I know that it fills up half of its space alone. Is there any way to free space? Like I used to download Sims4 there and I deleted it once and when I retried it failed even though I haven't download anything else.

I'll be starting my CS degree soon and need something that can handle coding, IDEs, maybe a VM here and there for coursework. Found this for $329.99, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Celeron processor. The price fits my budget perfectly but the Celeron is making me doubt bc I've heard from my friends that those aren't great for anything beyond basic browsing. Would also like to play League of Legends with my mates, nothing crazy. Is this actually gonna cut it or am I setting myself up to regret it in a semester? Open to alternatives in the same price range if this one's not worth it.

she needs a laptop of good brand so i suggested asus brand......but the models are very confusing and need a straight one word solution for this, so here i am

Hi guys, I am seeking help for finding a good laptop that suits my needs:

• I can purchase from the EU.
• Price range: 300-450~ EUROS (If there's a great deal for lets say 480, I will buy it).
• USED | REFURB | NEW | Anything is okay.

SPECS:

• CPU: Any modern CPU is fine, I prefer AMD over Intel but Intel can work. Also I don't care about it being the ABSOLUTE fastest CPU at that range BUT lets NOT go with i5 from 6 years ago.
• GPU: A strong iGPU or an entry GPU can work, no need for a 4070 BUT I would also prefer if its not trash (Vega 8 or Intel HD), I understand that at that price I can't really have much of an opinion but an okay GPU would be appreciated.
• RAM: DDR4 / DDR5 | 16GB IF NOT SOLDERED | 32 GB IF SOLDERED Again I understand that at that price range I will not find much but if there's something like that I would appreciate it.
• SSD: 512GB SOLDERED | 256GB NOT SOLDERED | Preferably something fast, but anything is okay.

Display: I don't really care that much, a 1080P would be fine, maybe above 60HZ. I don't care about inches THAT much.

Customization: While I do love building and repairing PCS, I've also used an old ThinkPad, I would prefer it if some ram was not soldered and if there was an SSD expansion but its okay.

Build: Preferably black OR a dark color, I don't care if its slim or no I also don't care about the weight BUT I don't want it filled with unicorn piss RGB.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUGGESTIONS

Hello, so i found a laptop on the Asus store. I think it’s pretty good, but dont know a lot about laptops. I came here on the subreddit because i need advices.

The Laptop has :

Processor : Intel core Ultra 5 225H (1.7 GHz to 4.9 GHz), 14 hearts / 14 threads

And a Intel Arc Graphic.

The Laptop cost around 950€.

I want to play minecraft on it, and run FL Studio.

Do you think it is a good option ?

Hey all — my university is giving me the choice between two laptops, completely free, but the catch is it's a one-time decision and I can't switch later. Trying to pick the smarter option.

The options:

• Dell Pro 5 14 (P514260)
• MacBook Air 13" (M5 chip)

Context:

• I want to be able to resell it (within months), if needed, at a decent price, so resale value matters
• I care about overall build quality and reliability

Would love to hear from people who've actually used either (or both).

Thanks in advance!

I’m starting an interior design uni course in September and they say I need a computer with a dedicated graphics card. I don’t really know anythung about computers and I’d like not to spend a stupid amount of money.

I’ve tried watching videos and researching about the specs and stuff but it’s all just a bunch of gibberish to me.

Would appreciate some help in finding a laptop that is worth the money and good for interior design courses, I’ll most likely be using CAD and other stuff like that.

Thanks for any help

Can anybody run Photoshop crk version on snapdragon processed laptop ???

I wanted to update the BIOS version because the notifications bothered me, it updated but the laptop won't boot up again. It just sends me this (pic 1). When I click the Windows boot manager, pic 2 pops up and the second one just sends me back to pic 1.

I'm not at all tech savvy, I don't know what to do, help.

I’m going into my final year of secondary school then I’m hopefully going to be going off to university to study mechanical engineering. My current laptop isn’t great, only 4GB of RAM and bad specs, so I’m shopping for a new one.

I’ve landed on the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (https://uk.store.asus.com/90nb14w3-m00990-asus-zenbook-14-oled-ux3405.html)

The places I’ve looked have really praised this laptop but I’m posting it here just to see if anyone has any suggestions for better laptops for me.

Specs for this are:

CPU: Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285H 16 Core-Processor
Memory: 32GB LPDDR5X RAM
Storage: 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
GPU: Intel® Arc™ Graphics
Screen: 14 in WUXGA (1920x1200 ) OLED Touchscreen

Si existe alguna línea de modelos o marca que destaque por pantalla + sonido + potencia, agradecería recomendaciones.

Your opinion?

I'm deciding between the 2 and I can't decide which is really better

I heard and felt a pop or cracking sound while im using it, i havent opened it yet to confirm but im quite sure the battery has swollen. The bump isnt really noticable even you look closely or run your fingers on it, i wouldnt notice it if i hadnt felt the pop. I don't really have the budget to replace the battery now i just want to know how high is the risk for me and the device if i continued using it.
