QUOTE(Msnine @ Sep 19 2018, 11:12 PM) - Brand: no preference but must be reliable and don't die within 2 years. International warranty a plus. No one can guarantee on reliability since it kinda depends on luck. I suggest you to try out keyboard on your own as everyone has different preference. dGPU will help in video editing but not 100% necessary.- Discreet GPU if it is important for video editing Prefer regular laptop/Ultrabook or gaming/performance laptop? |

QUOTE(biatche @ Sep 20 2018, 01:15 PM) most balanced value for money i guess. Give me a range on budget (roughly) to make things easierno extreme preference on any of those points. going to start over again, friend suddenly more firm on what he wants :: any laptop to recommend for powerpoint presentation + skype + simple web browsing? im guessing 13"-14", ips, and tablet mode (2in1?) if you know what i mean, , light enough Need good IPS (high sRGB)? Or low end IPS is enough (low sRGB)? |

QUOTE(biatche @ Sep 20 2018, 01:41 PM) 1. HP Envy x360 13 - good IPS display, however Ryzen APU is a wrong choice in such small Ultrabook (performance and battery life issues)2. Acer Spin 5 13 - good IPS panel, however RAM is soldered and the cooling is OKish (common in 13 inch Ultrabooks) 3. Lenovo Yoga 520/530 with i5-8250U - needs RAM upgrade (only 1 slot), low sRGB IPS panel If you don't mind smaller battery: Dell Inspiron 7570 - good IPS panel HP Pavilion x360 14 cd0036tx - needs RAM upgrade, low sRGB IPS panel |

QUOTE(Giresque @ Sep 20 2018, 02:53 PM) 1. Budget : Max 3.8k I suggest laptops with powerful hardware and good sRGB display2. Usage : Mostly used for digital art and some light gaming. Programs used for digital art - Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop (and possibly Krita?) 3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : - Display size doesn't matter to me, just want a decent screen with either good colour accuracy. If there's best colour accuracy under my budget would be nice. - Battery life don't really matter to me, plugged in most of the time. - Weight doesn't matter. - Brands I'm not sure... just want reliable build quality that will last years. But if it'll make recommendations from you guys easier, Dell would be my go-to brand. - I don't need 2-in-1, touchscreen and all since I only work with Wacom Intuos plugged into my laptop. More additional notes : I'm not too sure whether I want a general use laptop or a gaming laptop tbh. As long it can run my art programs then it's fine. As for gaming, I don't think I play titles that are too demanding and most games I just set settings to low. Illegear Raven with 144Hz 100% sRGB IPS Lenovo Legion Y530 (apply 15% discount code 'EDM15', this week only) with 144Hz 72% NTSC IPS (1050TI only) Commandos Glock 5 (Clevo NB50TK1) with 72% NTSC IPS |

QUOTE(Msnine @ Sep 21 2018, 08:00 PM) Lenovo Thinkpad A485, affordable, T480 chassis, large battery, Ryzen 5/7 APU (iGPU is about 940MX level with dual channel RAM)Or Thinkpad T480s/T480/T580 if you want MX150, however the cooling in T480&T580 isn't great with dGPU. T480s is fine due to 10W MX150, 8250U CPU can run 3.4GHz all core under load with some undervolting. Or ask myway1985 to suggest some Dell models for you This post has been edited by ZM Fong: Sep 21 2018, 11:05 PM |

QUOTE(earlofclarendon @ Sep 22 2018, 04:22 PM) Inconsistent performance and worse battery life since Ryzen mobile APU hasn't mature yet. And the price is bit high, Ryzen 3 model starts at 3k which is crazy. Good sRGB IPS touchscreen. Good iGPU performance (R5/R7) |

QUOTE(silvertacos @ Sep 23 2018, 12:05 PM) So, the I can add the Kingston nvme SSD myself right? How much is it with RAM upgrade (8GB right?) How does this compare to Acer Swift 3? YesIs the 320s TN display? Any recommended shop to buy from? You need to trade in the original 4GB since there's only 1 slot. Maybe around RM100 to upgrade to 8GB Acer Swift 3 is similar but with optional MX150 IPS Buy online from sellers with physical stores |

QUOTE(ssajnani @ Sep 24 2018, 01:20 AM) What do people think of this Lenovo laptop? I am looking for a laptop that is lightweight. Ideapad 320s 14 has better battery life. 320s 13 cannot upgrade RAM which is a bummer and has smaller battery. It has good quality (high sRGB) panel though.Main usage is Microsoft Office. Little browsing and movies but mainly for work. Lenovo Ideapad 320S-13IKB 81AK000WMJ 13.3" Laptop/Notebook (i5-8250U, 4GB, 256GB, Intel, W10H) Budget around 2500. Would be nice to have good battery life as well |
