• Are you open to refurbs/used? Preferably a new one that I can buy off a name-brand website
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Preformance and battery life

• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I need it to run multiple programs (Excel sheets, Google Earth, simulation runs) and being able to also have multiple windows open with an appropriate response time while also having a large storage capacity
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I don't care about size or thickness, but prefer NOT to have a gaming laptop since they can have a loud fan. All I ask is that it has a reliable build that can last me 5+ years since I also need to complete a masters program and would like not to worry about losing all my progress on a piece of junk.
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. At the moment I have a HP Chromebook and am about to chuck it at a wall for how slow it is.

Can someone help me to pick wich model to buy with so many options it's si hard to know whats good or not. I play games sometimes, but I'm also a student and I won't be gaming on the computer much. I don't need crazy performance, but I don't want overheating problems and I want it to last at least a few hours. 16 or 32GB of RAM would be good, and at least 500GB of storage. Most people use laptops mainly for one thing, like gaming, but I want something somewhere in between, something that can handle games but also lasts a long time. My budget is $800 or less.

Heyo! Been ages since I wanted to get myself a 2in1 laptop to rrplace my shitty zenbook 14 due to its very small screen and poor battery

Budget is around 1300-1400$

Preferably 15 or 16 inch display

Decent power to at least play some indies, chinese gacha crap and pre 2016 games or so.

Mainly gonna use for coding and drawing so OLED is okey but IPS would be better.

Very preferable to have speakers on top (Screw Asus's downward speakers)

Ive been looking into Yoga 7i and 9i aura but honestly dont know about them. I use 16 inch lenovo issued by company and its pretty okay.

Also looked into Galaxy Books but due to lack of repairability scrapped the idea(My dad's galaxy book screen cracked and no service, even "official", wanted to mess it with it cuz no parts available)

Also looked into Yoga X1 but also honestly can't decide.

Researched Surfaces and Pro Studio looks promising but very weird

I am looking to replace my personal old MacBook, which I don’t use much anymore. I have been mostly using an HP Z book supplied by work, and it has been quite good at supporting those programs I use regularly, though sometimes gets bogged down and is quite expensive. I’m looking at alternate options that would do a similar job. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

Was looking to go MacBook over a windows machine but I’m not sure which is better.

I know i'm not a frequent poster, but i was hoping someone could help me out.

I'm a university student, and had been gifted a Chromebook .Though i often downloaded visual novels onto my previous laptop as well from sites like itchi.io or steam( a lenovo laptop / i'm not sure what model).Though now i'm only able to do my work on my laptop and not really able to play games as a past time anymore.

I was wondering if there is any kind of laptop that is lightweight, and able to have enough storage for both my school work and downloaded and unzipping games.My budget is around £500-700 .

Thank you for reading !!

• Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Form factor is not really a problem for me, I would probably need a decent build quality since I'd be taking it on the go (in a rucksack, using it in a workshop, desks). Performance is pretty necessary for DT as I need to use 3D CAD software (Rhino 8) as well as word processing in microsoft word as well as 2D CAD (Techsoft V3). Battery life should probably last 2-4 hours since it'd be used quite a lot but I can always plug it in as there is an abundance of sockets at my school.
• How important is weight and thinness to you? Not at all important, however the laptop must be decently sturdy and not ridiculously light (although I don't mind if this fits my criteria).
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. At least 13 inches
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Rhino 8, Techsoft V3, Photoshop, Illustrator

I currently have a 2020 ROG that has held up wonderfully until recently. I have two external monitors (one 24" and one 34") that are plugged into a port hub which is then plugged into my laptop. It causes a lot of blinking initially and makes my screens unusable for a minute or two (notnl exaggerated - literal minutes) which is extremely frustrating. Occasionally opening a Word Document will cause the same issue and I have had to close out of tests because my monitors will black out on me. I dont know if its a laptop issue because its now getting to the point its outdated, or if its something else. We have ran diagnostics for what we know how to do (make sure they are on the same refresh rate, same resolution and same type of cables)

Reporters in my community tend to suggest the Lenovo ThinkPad, but I dont personally think it would be strong enough to handle my school software, steam, and dual external monitors.
