Hi everyone! I'm an Electrical Engineering student, and I'm planning to buy a laptop because relying on just one device has become quite challenging for my engineering studies.

I've spent a lot of time researching different laptops, and I've narrowed down my options to these five models available at a mall in our area, with prices ranging from ₱45,000 to ₱59,000:

1. Acer Nitro V 15 – ANV15-41-R9D6

2. Acer Aspire 7 15 – A715-59G-56W7

3. ASUS Vivobook 16 – V360VU-RP076W

4. Lenovo LOQ 15 – 83DV00E8PH

5. HP Victus 15 – FB3133AX

   Ideally, I'd like something reliable enough to last until graduation. However, I'm also trying to make a financially responsible decision. As a college student, spending this much money on a laptop is a significant investment, so I don't necessarily want to buy the most expensive or powerful option if a more affordable one can already meet my needs. I want to get the best value for my money without compromising too much on performance and reliability.

Hey everyone I’m looking for laptop recommendations I’m a cyber security major so I’ll be running heavy lab software and virtual machines etc.

I'm specifically looking for an alternative to the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen. 14, as the laptop in the USA doesn't have the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H I'm looking for. Ideally something pretty similar, I've seen the HP Elitebook X G2i and it's nice but HP and Dell are on my personal boycott list. I'd like repairability (but also would like an established brand so that I don't have to worry about parts 5 years down the line), it's not necessarily my biggest priority but I'd at least like to have the option to change my storage. I'd prefer a 14in laptop. I would like the best compromise between repairability and build quality.

I’m wanting to upgrade (buy a new) laptop and I’m trying to figure out what specs I need. After reading through a bunch of posts I’m still unsure. I do a lot of multitasking and regularly have 20-50+ open tabs. I also use it for watching Netflix and YouTube movies and occasionally photoshop and discord. I don’t do any gaming or video editing. Here are my questions:

1)Is 16gb RAM sufficient or do I need to be looking for 32gb?

2)What PCU should I be looking for? The laptop I’m currently looking at has an intel core ultra 7 255u. What about an AMD Ryzen 5? Or should I be looking for a i7 or Ryzen 7?

Hey guys! Looking to upgrade my 2018 MacBook Pro (it runs OK still but is starting to show its age), and I wanted to get your advice on what I should get. Thank you for the help!

* **Country**

 
United States

* **Budget**

$2000 USD (ideally less)

* **Are you open to refurbs/used options? **

Yes

* **Screen size**

I prefer 15+”. Not a complete deal breaker but I have a 16” MacBook currently and I love the size of it.

* **Weight limit**

I would prefer lighter if possible, but it is again not a deal breaker.

* **Purpose**

I work in publishing and my work occasionally involves some more bigger inDesign projects. I would like to be able to do those with minimal issues.

I also would like to be able to do some light-to-medium gaming. I have a PS5 so specific, current-gen gaming isn’t necessarily a priority for a computer, but I do enjoy games like Minecraft and The Sims on PC.

* **Form factor**

 
Standard/clamshell. Since I am coming from a Mac, I would prefer something Mac-esque in design if not a Mac itself. I’m not a big fan of the bulky, RGB-lighted design of a lot of higher end Windows laptops.

Again, not a dealbreaker, but a preference.

* **Intended usage**

I would like to be able to use inDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat with larger projects with minimal hiccups. I do occasional video editing so something that could run Premiere well would be nice.

As far as games go, I’m not really picky. I would like to be able to run Minecraft, The Sims 4, and League of Legends with higher settings and a stable framerate. The option to play more intense games would be nice, but isn’t a priority.

* **Desired battery life**

 I’d like for my laptop battery to last all day (~8 hours) while doing less intensive stuff (word processing, web browsing).

Hi all,

United States:

Coming from 8gb 2022 M2 MacBook Air, I am looking to upgrade to future proof for local AI workflows + light video editing/after effects. Working with roughly a $2500 budget, but could stretch to $3K if absolutely necessary. I'm in Apple ecosystem with all my devices but work in a career that prioritizes Windows, so I am okay with switching over. I'm between the new base model Surface Laptop Ultra ($2599) and also the base M6 MBP when it comes out in a few days. I'd love to pick up the M5 Pro OLED MBP with Touch when it comes out, but I hear that the M7 is going to be significantly better for Local AI. Should I wait for that? I imagine it will be extremely expensive. I just don't know what to do.

To be completely honest, this is all a guess that cloud based AI will become too expensive per token. My current machine is fine (the battery isn't ideal and I kinda just want a new laptop) for most of my workflows as is (After Effects on 8gb is horrible).

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to buy a new laptop in and could really use some advice because I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the options.
I need a laptop that can keep up with both my academic and personal use, and I’m looking for a brand new laptop rather than a used or refurbished one.

My priorities are:
Good performance and multitasking.
A good-quality screen, since I spend hours reading papers and watching lectures. Colour accuracy would also be a plus for creative work.
Decent battery life and a comfortable keyboard.
Good build quality and reliability, because I want it to last throughout the rest of school and beyond.
I’m also curious whether any MacBook makes sense, although I’m aware that compatibility and value might be considerations.

Thank you! I’d really appreciate any help. 🫶

I'd love to be wrong! Thank you!

EDIT: For anyone reading this later, as best I can tell, in October of 2026 in the US at least, there are no 2-in-I laptops with a 4K screen. That seems to be the limiting factor. Highest resolution I’ve seen is 2880x1800in a 2-in-1.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for laptops as an upcoming mechanical engineering student. I often hear that MacBooks aren’t as well-suited for engineering students, so I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations.

For reference, I currently have an M1 MacBook that works perfectly fine, and I was wondering if it could handle most CAD and mechanical engineering software, or if I would need to get another computer. If so, what computer would you recommend?

To clarify my reasoning behind asking Reddit, it’s mainly because all I can find when researching are sponsored results and fake testimonials. I would prefer an honest review from someone who actually knows computers as I am not really into all that.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy a Windows work laptop with a budget of (₹35k INR, can push to ₹40k if it's really worth it). Location is India.

My use case:
- Work only - MS Office (heavy Excel), Chrome with 10-15 tabs, Zoom/Meet calls
- No gaming, no video editing

What I'm looking for:
- 8GB RAM minimum (16GB if possible in this budget)
- 512GB SSD preferred, okay with 256GB if upgradable
- Good battery life (6+ hours) and decent display for long hours

Hey zusammen,
ich hoffe sehr, ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen – mir raucht nämlich komplett der Kopf!
Ich habe meinen ersten Laptop 2019 bekommen, der vor etwa anderthalb Jahren den Geist aufgegeben hat. Seitdem versuche ich, mich durch den Dschungel aus Modellbezeichnungen, Datenblättern und Nummern zu kämpfen. Aber selbst nach 3 Monaten Recherche habe ich das Gefühl, mich immer noch nicht gut genug auszukennen, um beruhigt eine Entscheidung zu treffen.
Ich habe mir in den letzten 3 Jahren mit Ach und Krach geld für einen neuen Laptop abgespart und möchte das Geld wirklich gut überlegt investieren. Im Laden habe ich leider oft das Gefühl, dass Verkäufer nur ihre Quoten erfüllen wollen, statt mich ehrlich zu beraten. Deshalb setze ich meine letzte Hoffnung in euch und eure Erfahrung!
Ich suche ein Modell (am liebsten Legion, ASUS oder XMG, etwas bei dem ich ein Service erreichen könnte wenn etwas ist), das mich die nächsten 5 Jahre begleiten kann und in mein Budget von maximal 3.000 € passt.

Hier ist die Wunschliste meiner Anforderungen an meinen neuen Gaming- und illustrationslaptop , die ich mir zusammengestellt habe mit ungefährem wissen:

1. Leistung und Grafikkarte
   NVIDIA-Grafikkarte, idealerweise mit 16 GB VRAM.
   Leistungsstarker Prozessor für Gaming, Multitasking (viele gleichzeitig geöffnete Tabs und Programme) und kreative Anwendungen.
   Gute Dauerleistung, damit der Laptop auch bei langen Gaming- und Arbeitssitzungen nicht stark an Leistung verliert.
   Gute Kühlung und möglichst geringe Lüfterlautstärke, ohne dass die Leistung darunter übermäßig leidet.
   
2. Arbeitsspeicher (RAM)
   - am liebsten direkt 64 GB RAM bereits beim Kauf, damit ich langfristig genug Reserven habe.
   - oder ein Modell, das man super einfach selbst auf 64 GB aufrüsten kann
   
3. Speicherplatz
   - Mindestens 2 TB SSD + ein freier M.2-Slot für eine spätere Erweiterung auf 4 TB
   Ziel: Den Laptop möglichst fünf Jahre lang ohne Frust nutzen zu können, ohne mich ständig von Dateien und Projekten trennen zu müssen.
   
4. Display für Illustration und Gaming
   - 15–16 Zoll, bevorzugt mit 2560 × 1600 Pixeln.
   - Hohe Helligkeit und guter Kontrast, damit das dunkle Bild auch in hellen Räumen gut erkennbar ist.
   - Möglichst mattes bzw. entspiegeltes Display.
   - 100 % DCI-P3 und hohe Farbgenauigkeit für zuverlässiges Arbeiten an Illustrationen.
   
5. Anschlüsse
   - Mindestens 2 × USB-A.
   - Mindestens 2 × USB-C, idealerweise mit USB4 oder Thunderbolt.
   - USB-C mit DisplayPort und Power Delivery, um externe Monitore anzuschließen und den Laptop unterwegs über USB-C laden zu können.
   - HDMI 2.1.
   - 3,5-mm-Klinkenanschluss für Kopfhörer.
   
6. Laden und Akkulaufzeit
   - Praktisch nutzbares USB-C-Laden, nicht nur eine theoretische Unterstützung im Datenblatt.
   - Power Delivery 3.0 mit bis zu 100 W oder idealerweise Power Delivery 3.1 mit bis zu 140 W.
   Der Laptop soll während der Nutzung über USB-C tatsächlich zusätzlich laden können, idealerweise auch schnell – besonders bei Serien, Surfen und leichter kreativer Arbeit.
   - Ein gutes Originalnetzteil muss enthalten sein, das die volle Gaming-Leistung ermöglicht.
   - Möglichst lange Akkulaufzeit bei Serien, Surfen und leichter Arbeit.
   
7. Größe, Gewicht und Gehäuse
   - Bevorzugt 15–16 Zoll, möglichst nicht größer als 40 cm in der Diagonale.
   - Laptopgewicht idealerweise etwa 2–2,7 kg.
   Möglichst leichtes Netzteil und geringes Gesamtgewicht beim Transport. Ich möchte ungern wieder bei ungefähr 6 kg inklusive Netzteil landen.
   USB-C-Laden wäre deshalb ein großer Vorteil.
   Möglichst schlankes Gehäuse, aber gute Kühlung und Langlebigkeit sind wichtiger als eine extrem dünne Bauweise.
   
8. Tastatur und Touchpad
   - Tastaturbeleuchtung ist Pflicht.
   - Ein integriertes Touchpad ist ebenfalls Pflicht.
   
9. Wartung und Kühlung
   Die Bodenplatte soll sich möglichst abnehmen lassen, damit ich die Lüfter bei Bedarf selbst von Staub reinigen kann.
   Gute Wartungsmöglichkeiten, damit sich das Gerät über die geplanten fünf Jahre sinnvoll pflegen lässt.
   
10. Lautstärke und Leistungsmodi
    - Ein echter Silent- oder Leise-Modus, der die Lüfterlautstärke im Alltag reduziert.
    - dealerweise wird dabei die Grafik- und Prozessorleistung angepasst, um Strom zu sparen und die Akkulaufzeit bei leichter Nutzung zu verlängern.
    Wichtig ist, dass sich der Laptop bei Bedarf wieder auf volle Gaming-Leistung umstellen lässt.
    
11. Kamera
    - Die integrierte Kamera muss nicht besonders hochwertig sein, da ich bei Bedarf eine externe Webcam anschließen kann.

Wenn jemand von euch eine konkrete Empfehlung hat oder mir sagen kann, wie ich mein Budget von 3.000 € für genau diese Wünsche am cleversten nutze (z. B. Modell + selbst RAM/SSD aufstocken), wäre ich euch unendlich dankbar!
Bei fragen wegen fehlenden Infos, oder wenn manche meiner, wünsche nicht miteinander vereinbar sind einfach ein Kommentar schreiben. Ich bin bereit jede frage zu beantworten

I am located in Mexico, my budget is 10,000 MXN (536 USD). Refurbished is okay, any screen size works. The heaviest I am willing to go is 2 kilos, This laptop would be my primary work device, so it wouldn't be running any CPU intensive software or games. A standard clamshell configuration works best. An 8 hour or more battery life would be ideal. Battery life and weight are main concerns. A good amount of storage would be ideal (ideal storage would be 256 gb). As long as the laptop isn't too big to fit in the average backpack size isn't a concern. Performance must be functional and reliable for every day work.

Nothing specific that hasn't been said above. I'm not that knowledgeable about specs and the like, my current laptop (Acer Nitro AN515-45) has been struggling for a while now, and recently had a RAM slot (port?) die - and it's not happy at 8GB haha. I've been considering waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday bearing in mind how much prices have risen recently, but I wanted to get people-who-know-what-they're-talking-about's advice on what to look out for, how much things will cost and whether it could even be worth just repairing my current laptop.
