[@security9999]

After a year of research i went with framework 13 amd. Never been happier about a laptop. Everything including hinges, screen, bezel, mainboard, keyboard, battery etc can be replaced, upgraded, etc.

[@cameronbosch1213]

I agree. Best 13 inch laptop imo.

[@LCJammer]

13 is fine if you just need a basic laptop. their 16 inch models are kind of a rip off when adding the dedicated gpu module.

[@security9999]

@LCJammer i agree. The 16 inch cost proposition is not great. I was shocked by the performance of 780m in the 13 inch. Able to game fine with an igpu including starfield, cyberpunk, bg3. I dont think i will go back to a dpgu.

[@cameronbosch1213]

@@LCJammer There will be new GPUs. You may want to wait for them. For me, as a Linux user, there really wasn't any other option in the US.

[@GianniAdduci]

Has how the day to day experience been so far? I've been considering the 13 with one of the AMD chips.

[@jtjt376]

When you are testing a laptop, do you just run benchmark software? What other software do you put on it?

[@trubadyr99]

Happy New Year and plenty of great new masterful reviews in 2024 for you and Dmitriy!!! Keep up with your remarkable work, gentlemen.

[@Krenisphia]

I'm looking for a new laptop primarily for watching movies, KZbin and general browsing. And maybe very light gaming (Hearthstone). I have a desktop 4090 rig for proper gaming so I don't need powerful graphics. Main priority is the display quality so I've been looking at the OLED Vivobooks/Zenbooks. I also want a 16"+ screen. What do you recommend?

[@IO-_-Ol]

For anyone looking to buy a macbook. If you are a student in engineering, avoid macbooks, it’s good enough for programming and webdev but not as good for simulation and circuit design. Especially since it doesn’t support most major softwares. Even if it supports any, it’s difficult to find pirated versions when necessary.

[@elysiaaaan0303]

What would you recommend that's not very expensive

[@IO-_-Ol]

@@elysiaaaan0303 get anything your budget gets you honestly. If you are studying engineering, definitely opt for gaming laptops though. Make sure your RAM >= 16GB, SSD >= 512 and also make sure your processor is higher than 12th gen. If you get anything lower than those then trust me, you will try to upgrade very soon. You can get lower RAM and SSD but make sure that they are upgradable. Just get an overall reliable laptop. In midrange, most stuff you find will have issues though. I recommend you go for second hand laptops or laptops from older generation. Don’t go lower than 12th gen processors for intel or 5000 processors for AMD. Even better to get 13th intel or >5000 amd too. I can’t give you specific models since I haven’t looked at new options but if you do go to look at laptops, consider those specs.

[@kashforte8832]

@@elysiaaaan0303framework 13 is pretty good with the igpu, and the 16 isn’t as good for price to performance, but you will save money in the long term due to how modular it is.

[@mubashirsoomro6]

1500$ is not cheap at all

[@IT_with_Glitch]

True, but then ask yourself, how long will this laptop stay with me? 1? 2? 3 years? You should ask yourself that because at least for me when I purchased a laptop it stays as long as I can, unless a specific need arise. Because I don't want to disturb my focus.

[@seedad117]

​@@IT_with_GlitchHonesty it should hold for 8 years at least

[@yessa9645]

Hey, I’m a computer science student in the UK and I bought a refurbished Vivobook s15 OLED for £570, it has a 13500H, Arc A350M and a 1080p 60hz OLED screen. I thought that’s a pretty good deal for the spec. I actually really like the laptop but I’m having problems with the thermals, plugged in it gets really hot without really doing anything that intensive. On battery it’s alright but the cpu gets to 70 sometimes when I’m watching videos and it isn’t on a hard surface. Is there anything that can be done about the thermal issues? Or is that just the way the laptop is. And what sort of student laptops have good thermals and are quiet. I don’t do any gaming just coding and watching videos and typing

[@christopherflanagan-eg5hz]

I just picked up a Dell XPS 15 (i7, 32GB RAM, RTX 4050) and have been blown away. I'm coming from a 2021 MacBook Pro 16" and am super super impressed by this laptop. I never thought I'd find a Windows laptop of comparable quality to a MacBook, but this one takes the cake.

[@RewantaGamingYT]

I'm starting my career at Cybersecurity as a Digital Forensics Assistant, which laptop will be best to go for, I'm currently using a gaming laptop but as you all know battery backup sucks and its fan noise is so disturbing. I took suggestions from my collogues some suggests mac and some windows. So which should I go for and if you have laptop name in your mind please reply me.

Is MBA M2 16GB ram with basic storage (would get an external ssd) will it be good enough for data sci and machine learning bachelors ?

[@lizardemperorkorbac4281]

This year Lenovo and Asus dominated. I noticed a shift in the kind of youtube tech-sphere, where a few years ago reviewers focused on/ covered more business oriented devices, like Thinkpad, Elitebook, etc. where in particular this year it was for the most part Multimedia/gaming Laptops. I'm wondering if this is, that creators realized the youtube audience is more interested in these type of devices, or changed the interests towards these devices? Or is it, that business features like vPro, smartcard, etc. are becoming less relevant in the business sphere? Certainly gaming laptops don't look as "gamery" anymore and you nowadays probably wouldn't ridicule yourself bringing say a Lenovo Legion laptop into a meeting, compared to some chunky jet-engine fan RGB-fest monstrosity from the past. Seems like current Laptops more than ever are fit for all use-cases. These days you can have a good Laptop with decent portability, battery-life and (gaming-) performance all in the same device.

[@themonkeyman2790]

and with the advent of ARM based chips for windows devices the future looks crazy(imagine playing gta 6 with ray tracing on a macbook like thin laptop)

[@fratista]

​@@themonkeyman2790 I really hope they can counter the M3 here. It is the much better combo of efficiency, battery life and Performance. And it can even play Baldurs Gate or Cyberpunk

[@alieffauzanrizky7202]

And it changes so fast too. I remember in 2016 acer have to released a 8.5 kg, 6.8 cm thick laptop with SLI and subwoofers just to get on par with high end pc at that time. Now we can have almost the same power of a high end pc specs on a laptop that's barely 2 cm thick and weigh less than 2 kg

[@keerthan7558]

The problem with these dedicated business grade laptops is that they are so overpriced and just lack in terms of features in general. Most of lenovo's business grade laptops are limited to plastic builds, dim , low colour accuracy displays and laughable battery capacity and averagish battery backup. The designs are also very outdated, the trackpad and thick bezels especially. These all are individually not that important but when u pay 1000 usd + u expect these and the one with these seems like a better deal. Unless ofc ur organisation requires u to have a smartcard reader or vpro system etc

[@Qimchiy]

That's because Lenovo and Asus has a great balance of everything. Software, hardware, design, performance and price. Lenovo also has a bunch of discounts and offers. I personally got my Legion 5 Pro with a monitor, mouse, headset and backpack for $1 each. That's an entire setup with my laptop for $4 and it's not in USD, so a little less than US$1. Meanwhile MSI has some build quality issues thought can be found at affordable prices and Acer still has the bulky gamer design unless it's their Triton laptops which not alot of reviewers talk about, possibly because other options are better.

[@9rit]

If i want a laptop that is light like the surface pro, but more powerful wih 32gb ram, and pen support (or itnegrated). Whats the best alternative?

[@andrewachkar]

would you recommend the Gigabyte Aero 16 the specs are: i9-12900H 2.5GHz 32GB nRam 2TB SSD NVMe 16″ 4K+ (3840×2400) AMOLED NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti 16GB for $1879 price aside, would you recommend it for a graphic designer that does 3D animation on Adobe After Effects

When you’re gaming and maxing out fps, the fans can get quite loud (to the point where you can really use speakers).

I went with a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with an AMD 7845S, 3k 90Hz OLED Screen, 32GB RAM and a very fast 1TB SSD for about 1100CHF (around 1300 USD). I couldn't find anything close to that in value in a thin an light. A MB Air 15" with 24GB and 1TB is almost twice as expensive and I'm stuck with 1TB forever... Maybe this perspective helps some international viewers, I feel this video sadly doesn't apply internationally.

A lot of these videos sing the praises of the Slim Pro 9i, but the 16" version has some serious issues that are often glossed over: bad ports (no HDMI 2.1) and very bad battery life.

I bought a slim pro 9i last week and watch out for quality control issues. I gave mine back for a screen issue, even though everything was literally perfect (except the battery life sucked)

[@ucduynguyen4240]

Got a Lenovo Yoga 7735U in augaust last year for less than 1200 euro and sofar I am very pleased with it as a laptop or tablet. Use it for all kinds of stuff and some gaming mostly FS19, FS22, WoW and EveOnline and it performs admirable. Power brick is just slightly larger than a phone charger so great for travel. Dual booting Windows and over 90% on Linux (Debian testing),

Hi , any idea why is Lenovo selling defective products on Lenovo official website which are top end products and very expensive. I have purchased a Yoga 7i 16 inch with a serious design defect in the micro SD card slot. Lenovo Premium Care tech support and Escalation team is unable to give any answers or solutions. This is for a brand new product Lenovo Yoga purchased on 31 Dec 2024. Why is Lenovo not providing any solution to serious complaints and defects hampering usability of product. Service Case Number: 20162867 Problem is once you insert a SD card there is no way you can take the SD card out or eject it and the card is stuck.

[@576turky]

a couple days go bought the legion pro 5 to my brother after watching so many reviews i hope he likes it

[@TakarieZan]

I had a legion growing up. He will definitely like it. Depending on his needs and the sepcs it may not be the perfect laptop, but I rather have a modern gaming laptop then no laptop anyday... I tried using just a Ipad for two years. It was not fun.

I love PCs and have been an enthusiast for a long time. But I can't deny that no one makes such a good portable experience as the m series macbooks, they lose on spec sheets but are insane in actual use.

[@ArshdeepSingh-mo5wp]

Bro can u suggest me laptop under 1000 dollar ??

[@eladbari]

But what can you do if your world is in PC. You're invested it it already. All you programs, plugins are for PC.

[@DoggoCatto-xz2jg]

@@eladbari I can't speak on what industry your work is in, but for my line of work every single software are both windows mac. And most of them actually work better on a lower powered mac than my high end pc.
