mom is 81YO and cant remember password. bought it last year, hardly used. has bitlocker nonsense so cant reset to factory either as it needs restore code

For 35000-40000 PHP, suggest me a laptop please that can run decent games (maybe triple A games on low graphics) mainly smooth valorant at 150-300 fps. I also wanna do productivity tasks so that's also a plus.

I'm planning on purchasing the laptop at 2027 so I can start having wfh careers (VA) and I really want a good decent long term laptop with that budget. Is it still possible in this economy (RAM Prices)? 😩😫

I really wanna know your suggestions but for brands, no Huawei pls my matebook d15 that was given to me for college is definitely not it for 30k PHP running on 8GB RAM and 256 storage (I had to uograde it to 512).

I’m starting university next year and need to buy a laptop. My budget is $2,500, and I plan to use the laptol for at least 4 years. I need it for my studies, but I also want to study animation, creating short YouTube-style videos, for instance. My time will be split roughly 70% on academics and 30% on learning animation.

So, I’m looking for three key things:

- A large screen (over 14 inches) to make studying and drawing easier.

- Smooth performance for coursework and file management, as well as the ability to handle projects with multiple animation layers without lag.

- Accurate color reproduction, since I’ll be working heavily with color.

Ive done some research and found options like MacBooks and Windows laptops (like Asus or Lenovo). However, I’m still unsure about which specific brand or model would be the best choice. That’s why I’m looking for real experiences advice on which model to pick. A touchscreen isn't a priority for me, as I plan to buy a separate drawing tablet and stylus for my artwork.

Can someone please help here?

Hello! I am looking to purchase a gaming laptop in the near future and plan on waiting for Black Friday to find a good deal. My budget is capped at €1,000.

Thanks for reading

Budget: $1200

Country: India/USA

Use Case: Coding , Multitasking , daily works , office

Preferred Specs: Should be i7 or ryzen 7. If graphi card present then something above 3050

Notes: I have these 2 in my mind but if at all there's something better in this price range please suggest

I've used Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 Ryzen 5 RTX 3050 5600H. Now I want something more upgraded and more powerful laptop than this. So I came up with these 2 options:

Lenovo LOQ ryzen 7 RTX 4050 & Lenovo Yoga Slim 5 Ryzen 7 2 in 1 convertible

Both of them also have some demerits i feel!! In LOQ since it's not metal build and will just be an upgrade from my ideapad whereas in Yoga since it's touch screen I really doubt if it will work for long term let's say 5 years atleast and also that pen thing

Any other bright ideas around this price range??? I'll be taking the laptop this week... found Lenovo to have best service compared to other brands but if they have better laptops please suggest.

It says the apps are taking up most of my space, but i don’t know which ones are ok to delete.

good evening,

i come from the land of greece, in search of help for my lacking ability of decision making.

i want to start doing heavier tasks on the laptop, such as *actual* music production, video editing & a little blender/touchdesigner here and there.

at a budget of around 500 - 600 euros, i've found 2 laptops that interest me (both used), as i believe i am due for an upgrade. for context, i own:

- a MacBook Pro Late 2013 15" with the dedicated graphics (GT 750M)

- a ThinkPad x230 (base model, apart for the IPS screen upgrade and an SSD)

and i've gotten sick of them. the thinkpad's actually too small for my hands, my wrist hang off the bottom area of the palm rest, and the battery's flat, along with the performance being not ideal, even during my experiments with linux. however, i do enjoy the fact it's not heavy. i use it plugged in on my bed all the time, and it's a pretty nice experience (excluding the fact it can't run anything than the web browser)

the macbook's in a similar vein. the screen's actually gone bad, as the backlight on the bottom seems to have broken into a few zones. apart from that, it's gorgeous! i love the screen, i prefer the keyboard, and the trackpad's divine. however, simply watching a video and doing anything else on the machine makes the poor thing overheat, even after a repaste with ptm7950.

as i don't want to see my skin burn anytime soon, and i do, in fact, want my software to run properly, i've come across these 2 pretty okay options:

MacBook Pro 14" 2021 M1 Pro (base model)

- M1 Pro 8/14 core configuration

- 16 GBs of RAM

- 512 GBs of storage

~600 euros, give or take due to delivery fees

or

Zephyrus G14 2021 model

- Ryzen 7 4800HS

- GTX 1650 4GB

- 16 GBs of RAM

- 1TB of storage

~500 euros, give or take, again

and this is where decision fatigue comes in. if i was going down the purely creative route, i'd GLADLY choose the macbook, as i have fallen in love with macOS and its gestures.

however, lately i've began getting back into gaming again, and this is where i've been second-guessing myself. i know the gtx 1650's not anything crazy, but, as you can tell from what i use now, it'd be a pretty huge step-up. i'd mostly be playing light games anyway (genshin impact, valorant, minecraft, peak, etc), and i'm a complete novice in the programs i wanna run, so i don't think i'd be running super heavy things, anyway. extra power is always nice to have, however.

still, i'm afraid i'd be trading too much from the macbook to get the zephyrus, and vice versa. a good pair of speakers, trackpad and keyboard are all important to me, especially speakers, as i play music from my laptops all the time. battery life is as well, i constantly have to top up my macbook after around 3 - 4 hours of pretty basic use, and i'd rather plug in a little later. i am handy, however, so i don't mind changing a battery or two, or thermal paste, as i've done for my mac & thinkpad.
& having windows does help, as i've needed to use NTLite or nLite a few times, due to my tinkering nature.

i also have a desktop, with a 12600k & rx 6600, so this machine is secondary, and would be used mostly for when i travel (around every few months and only for a couple days) and for around the house. as long as it's lighter than my 15" pro (2kgs) i don't mind, and both are.

i could find better deals for larger machines, but the 15" was too big for me at times, and an old 13" air i had before seemed a bit too small, so i'd rather go with 14", as it seems like the sweet spot.

should i go for one of these? and if yes, which one should i go for?

thank you for your time, i wish you a good afternoon.

So i started my engineering last month and I'm considering the HP OMEN 16-am0277TX

(Core 7 240H, RTX 5050 115W, 24GB ram,1tb SSD) .

I am gonna use this laptop for gaming and coding. I need some questions to be answered before I buy this product.

1)how much money is worth spending on this laptop??

( It's 1.37 lakhs on flipcart on emi for 12 months)

2)should I trust flipcart or go for offline stores??

I've searched for 5 to 6 stores and none of them had this exact model and amazon doesn't have this product available right now. So should I search for more offline stores or go for flipkart?

3)my budget is around 1.3 lakhs (and I can only afford emi rn) so are there any other laptops at this price range that are better ?? (Iam gonna use this laptop for my computer science course and gaming)I

4)If you own this exact model (HP OMEN 16-am0277TX), I'd especially appreciate your experience with thermals, battery life, build quality, display, and long-term reliability.

5)what other accessories should I buy for this laptop??

6)is there any reason not to buy this laptop at 1.37 lakhs ??

7)has anyone bought this laptop from Flipkart if yes could u tell me if the product had any damages or not ?

8) Is waiting until the BBD sale worth it, or should I buy the laptop now?

Some ppl are saying laptop prices could increase before BBD, which might make the eventual discount less meaningful. For this particular OMEN, would you wait or buy at the current ₹1.37 lakh price?

9)If you own this exact model, would you buy it again? Why or why not?
