QUOTE(redclarity @ Aug 12 2021, 07:37 PM) Hi sifus, I have a lot of questions to ask. Mac need to readjust your habits, but for non-gamers it should be quite okay (most of what we do nowadays for jobs is on websites anyway).Been using windows and hp loyally for a decade, but I think its time for me to migrate. I got my eye on the dell xps13 and macbook air m1. I'm leaning towards the mac, but I've never used one in my life. How hard is it migrating to mac os? I have a wd external drive, do I need to format it for the mac to read it? Or just plug and go? What about transferring files from my android phone to the mac, as breezy and easy as windows or any hurdle to jump through first? Apple or dell? My main preference is light and good typing experience. I've tried the huawei matebook, levono yoga slim, not so keen on them. Supposedly microsoft surface can be challenging for repair, is that true? Also, is mac expensive for repairs once the warranty runs out? Oh one more thing, macbook air has no fan and seller told me it didnt matter because m1 is that efficient. How true is that? My room is not airconditioned and gets pretty hot sometimes, and there are times when i work for a day straight. Can macbook air with no fan tahan that? Any advise is much appreciated, thanks. A few points to consider:- 1. Microsoft office (most important) - it is not 100% compatible. The MacOS version is ALMOST as good, maybe can say 95% compatibility, but if you're very heavily reliant on powerpoint formatting etc. this may be an issue. 2. External drives can be read as-is, but if you are in a Mac-only environment reformatting it makes sense. Don't think Mac defaults to HFS for external drives though because that really hampers cross-sharing with non-Mac OS. 3. M1 processor is awesome, don't worry about heat unless you're literally cooking it in a microwave. You will overheat before your Mac overheat (with the M1 processor). But my simple 'benchmark' question is this la - if you have to ask whether repair is expensive then maybe don't get a Mac. Definitely not the cheapest (but worth it for the experience la, if you like that sort of thing). widget, pandera999, and 1 other liked this post

Hi all, I'm looking to get a new laptop from the range of 4 to 5k max.
Usage will be mainly for movies, reading documents, but at the same time want gaming capabilities as well. Usually play Genshin Impact or any other AAA titles. Currently looking at Level 51 Forge 15S with 3050 so far. It seems like nothing can beat this model in terms of price to value ratio (i7, 16gb Ram, 3050), but I'm not sure how good is it, or whether there's a catch. Also looking at Dell G15. Any input on the above 2? This post has been edited by botakbin: Aug 13 2021, 07:25 PM |

Hi Sifus, need some advise here.
I am looking to buy a laptop for casual use such as studying + movie + some medicore gaming. Any good laptop with budget around <4k ? Checked some threads here and saw this "-Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15ACH6" but not sure if this is still a good recommendation. Looking for advice . TQ in advance! ps: If you want to know the specs I am looking for these will be likely the specs ~ i5 processor with 3050 gpu and 15 inch screen should be more than enough. |
