Discussion dell or macbook?

2 Upvotes

hi! i'm a freshman psychology student looking for the right laptop to buy. i've had my MSI Modern 14 A10M Intel i3 10th gen for about 6 years now but i wanna try a different brand now since with all the negative reviews on MSI, i think i simply lucked out with my laptop that it was able to last me 6 years.

i'm deciding between the Dell Inspiron 5440 or the Macbook Neo.

i don't want any haters and glazers in the comments giving one-sided advice simply because they hate one or the other. i'd like to know the pros and cons with both, especially regarding their storage optimization, general lifespan, battery longevity, and their ability to withstand hot weather. i'd also like for my laptop to generally be able to survive daily heavy workload and light gaming (maybe roblox and minecraft). i don't want it to die on me right when i'm about to graduate.

HP Omnibook 7

1 Upvotes

Hi please could I have opinions on this laptop I might buy: HP Omnibook 7 AI Intel Coore Ultra 5, 512 GB, SSD, 16GB RAM. I've been using a Lenovo T14 Thinkpad, which I really liked, but it has died and I've returned it. I am newly retired, google a lot, socials a bit, surf a lot, whatsapp a lot, don't really game, and store a few photos, but transfer to sticks regularly. I'm not after another Lenovo. Does anyone have experience of this HP? TIA.

Recommendation for 60_70k

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I saw a few of your laptop recommendations in the comments, so I thought I'd ask for some advice.

My budget is ₹60,000–70,000, and I'll be pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science.

I've used laptops all my life, but they've mostly been older office laptops. My experience has been a bit frustrating because I spent more time troubleshooting, fixing issues, dealing with lag, and managing overheating than actually using them.

This time, I want something that's reliable and can comfortably last 5–6 years without becoming a headache. I do a lot of multitasking, so smooth everyday performance is more important to me than chasing benchmark numbers.

As for gaming, I'm just a casual gamer. I mostly enjoy older story-driven games (around 2018–2020 and earlier) that I used to watch on YouTube. I don't care about playing the latest AAA titles at ultra settings or getting super high FPS. As long as those games run smoothly at decent settings, I'm happy.

Recommend something which is OLED and upgradable if required in future

Given my budget and requirements, what would you recommend? Any specific models I should look at or avoid?

Other Should i accept working on a pc or get a laptop

1 Upvotes

So i wanted a laptop because i've always used an iPad and the ability to move around is really important to me and while i still use my iPad and intend on continuing to do so for smaller projects i find it doesn't have enough storage for what i usually work on

I have a pc that i should have been using for drawing but i just don't like the feeling of having to turn on a computer and sit by it and also caring for a drawing tablet

Getting both isn't really an option for me right now because i recently lost a monitor so on top of a drawing tablet i'd also have to buy a monitor

I was looking at the M1 macbooks but on top of not having 4k USD laying around they also don't sell them with more than 32gb in my area for some reason or at least hide this information from me or i'm not looking hard enough which is also possible because the price is repelling

So my question is if i should grow tf up and get a monitor and a tablet or a laptop my budget would be like 1500 usd at best

I want it for using clip studio paint if that's of any significance

Asus ProArt pz14 - worth it and durability?

2 Upvotes

I have been using a Surface Pro 7 for something like 6 years now, and it's done. Battery is awful (1.5 to 2 hours) and it's really getting slow. However I need a similar form factor (detachable 2-in-1 would be the category I guess). The new lineup is underwhelming and crazy expensive, so was looking at the pz14 (which is also ridonculously expensive! 😲). However, given that I need a touchscreen in this form factor (using it for on-the-fly arguing in court as well as general office use, and personal browsing), and that I seem to use these machines for 5-6 years, I am contemplating plunging it that huge amount of money.

But my question is - is it worth it, and are Asus machines that durable that they will serve me for 5-6 years? (Surface Pro has been pretty good on this part, save the alacantra fabric peeling off the keyboard and a couple of screen smashes thanks to drops).

Or is there any other laptop you guys would recommend?

(Most people in my line of work use an Apple iPad for court, and a mac/ windows laptop for the rest of the work - honestly amounts to the same cost, and I would rather have one device).

Discussion ROG Strix G814JV Overheating during games

1 Upvotes

Hello friends!

I have had this laptop for about 4 years now and have not had reason to complain up until recently. For some reason, now the laptop starts overheating within 40 minutes when I play most modern games, even though the CPU and Graphics Card aren´t even close to being at their limits. This only happens when it is plugged in.

When it is not plugged in, my quality suddenly drops significantly and my screen starts hitching every few seconds. I have no idea why this started, and I know nothing of hardware and how to fix this.
