General question What do the newer laptops give you?

• Upvotes

I have a Dell XPS 15 from 2016. The laptop works fine. I just bought a new battery and did some refreshes. The laptop works fine. Not sure if a 2026 laptop from say ASUS or whatever has anything that my laptop can't? Not sure if upgrading would do anything.

I mainly use it for browsing and YouTube. Some video games like old SNES, NES, Sega games. The most intense game is maybe Civ 6.

Buying help For those who own a ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 with i7-1260P, is it really that bad?I’m looking at one with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Are the heat, battery, and fan noise issues really noticeable in everyday use?

Buying help Which laptop should I get?

• Upvotes

I've been choosing between HP OmniBook X Flip 14, Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1, and Asus Zenbook A14.

All prices are relatively close so I would prefer a laptop that doesn't crash as much. I heard the omnibook has problems updating software and I'm not really a techy person so I don't know how to handle it if that happens, incase its true; I like the premium feel design and flip feature tho.

The zenbook I heard is one of the good windows laptops, also lightweight. With dell, the 1TB is what really made me look into it.

Overall, I'm a 1st year pre-med and I want something suitable to have over the workload that will last me until I finish med school; an investment basically. What are their pros and cons and issues I may encounter for each laptops? Thank you so much!

Buying help What should I get !!

2 Upvotes

I currently have a 2019 MacBook pro with 128gb of storage, but it absolutely can not handle the Sims 4 with cc and mods or Roblox at all. I'm looking for an affordable computer that can run both games, with ccs and mods, and some school work. I can't decide whether I should get the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, or just a Windows computer.

I've heard that the MacBook Neo can handle the Sims with ccs and mods but I'm not sure since it only has 8GB of RAM. The MacBook Air is the most recommended but it's very pricey. What should I do? Are there any other laptops that can handle all really well? 😅

Discussion Reminder: Most laptop listings on Amazon are still crap on "Prime Day"

8 Upvotes

If you are looking for a laptop on a budget and are tempted by the nominally large discounts on Amazon's upcoming Prime Day, don't do it until:

  1. Figure out the exact specs of the laptop: many of the lower-priced computers on Amazon have many-years-old or very low performance hardware.

  2. Compare the price of alternatives elsewhere: most Prime Day discounts are way more modest than their nominal percentage since the Amazon and the third party sellers bump up the listed price first before applying the alleged discount.

  3. Scrutinize the identity of the actual seller: Many laptops are sold by third party seller, not Amazon. Some of them are quite sketchy.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to buy a second-hand/refurbished laptop in Hyderabad for regular use and learning.

Can you suggest some reliable shops, markets, or trusted sellers where I can get a good deal? Also, what should I check before buying a used laptop?

Would really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks!

General question My 2 year old laptop decided the screen would stop working today

1 Upvotes

So basically ya, I have a cheap Aocwei A6 laptop. Everything was going absolutely fine with it yesterday. But today, it was super hot in my place. The sun was blazing on my laptop. I thought nothing of it , and turned it on as usual. It turned on fine, lights and buttons all that working with a faint bluish screen in the background. I tried to get it back, I was asking Gemini and chat gpt for help loll but it didn’t work. Everytime I turn it on, it just shows a faint bluish screen , the keys work fine and the computer is clearly on but the screen is not working at all.

Am I totally screwed? It there anything I can do? I have important meetings coming up that I need it for and I also need my data on there, too..

I’m a student and need a good performing laptop that’s oled 16 in. I need to run LLMs, Autodesk, and Davinci but not sure if this laptop is good enough. genuinely cannot find anything new at all for under 1k. I’m not too sure if this thing is even good in today’s standards. Would I be better off buying a newer ultra 7 chip? is this laptop even worth buying? Comes with 2 year warranty.

If you know any good steals rn please lmk

General question No Bootable Devices Found

My dell latitude 7280 won't boot up. I get this screen when it turns on.

No Bootable Devices Found

Press F1 key to retry reboot

Press F1 key to reboot into setup

Press F5 key to run on jars diagnostics

I've tried going through all the options available and still will only turn on to this screen. Running diagnostics comes back fine with issues found. I reset to factory settings also to no avail. Any advice on how to fix this?

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

  • Country

US

  • Budget

$700-1000 (Open to anywhere in this range)

  • Are you open to refurbs/used options?

Possibly, but I prefer being the first owner for tech (I realize this comes with a premium, but if the deal is good I'd take it)

  • Screen size

15''-16'' (willing to go to 14'' or 17'')

  • Weight limit

5 Lbs. (willing to go heavier)

  • Purpose

Gaming, Streaming, Discord, Workbench Laptop for Electronics (lots of Chrome Tabs)

  • Form factor

Standard/Clamshell. I don't really care for a 2-1, Touchscreen, the "creative" stuff. If it's in the package I don't mind, but I wouldn't pay a premium for it.

  • Intended usage

I have a beefy desktop for the higher end of gaming, but I'd love a mobile options to bring to work or sit in the living room with for a couple games. I'd plan on playing MMOs, mainly WoW Forever + OSRS. I'd like to play WoW at High-Max Settings, OSRS through Runelite with HD/GPU Plugins which I know can get pretty CPU heavy, and probably as an option to bring Marvel Rivals over to a friends house for a LAN party. I play on Med-Low settings to maximize frame rates for Rivals, around or over 200FPS would be ideal.

I do a little bit of emulation, mainly N64/GC/PS2.

I need a laptop for my workbench, so a couple of chrome tabs I can flip between + discord as I usually stream my work to a couple friends.

  • Desired battery life

As long as it isn't a 2 hour drain that's fine, I'm never away from a plug for longer than that. 4 Hours is fine, anything longer is just gravy.

  • Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

Performance > Battery Life > Size > Weight

  • Info/Requirements

Refresh Rate - 120Hz Minimum but 144/165 would be nice.

Resolution - Fine with 1080p, open to 1440/2K/4K but not a necessity.

Screen - It'll probably get a Matte Screen protector applied immediately, so I'm open to OLED/HDR but I definitely won't get the best use case out of it.

CPU - No real preference on Intel/AMD, I know each has pros and cons. Whichever you guys feel would be best for my use case.
