 Hi,

I do not even know where to start. I will try to explain my struggle first and then move on to the topic. So I had a laptop Lenovo G series ( i3-5005U, 2GHz, Intel HD graphics 5500, 8GB Ram) for almost 6 years. It is still good, but hinges has broken. So I decided maybe it is time for new laptop. I am still student at University, but I do also work in the logistics company. So I wanted something light, reliable, portable (13'') - ultrabook - but also from time to time I would like to do some light gaming - big fan of AoE2DE and Rimworld - so iOS is off the table.

I was so convinced to get Dell XPS13 (2020), but when [I have seen some videos and red some articles where, people are complaining about heat issues/overheating](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=dell%20xps%2013%20heat%20issues). I have stepped back from this device immediately, there is no way I am buying laptop that starts at 1400e which will have issues with cooling and could not go to sleep/save mode after you close him. I would like to mention that some people did not experienced this issues at all. But it is a HIT or MISS situation.

I did not wanted to buy anything from ACER or ASUS either, I am bit skeptical about those two companies. I did liked a lot Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano, but it starts at 1600e in my country. Unfortunately :( and also [Lenovo ThinkPad X13](https://www.alza.sk/lenovo-thinkpad-x13-gen-1-black-d6250322.htm?visited=1), but also I would not have specs that I do have for much lower price.

So I was little bit stuck between [HP Spectre x360 and HP Envy x360](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMsp-Ol_NFg). But when I have seen reviews and benchmarks. It was decided. Envy won in every category for me.

So I decided to go with [HP Envy x360](https://www.alza.sk/hp-envy-x360-13-ay0003nc-d6160095.htm?o=1), oh boy I can not express how happy I am to get laptop in that price range to have these specs.

\- AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, touch display 13.3" IPS - 400 nits, 1920 × 1080, RAM 16GB DDR4, AMD Radeon Vega 7, SSD 512GB - you can upgrade your SSD card if 512GB is not enough for you. I will probably upgrade it, because of games that takes a lot of space.

Apart from specs, it is unbelievable experience, laptop does weight 1,3kg. Keyboard is nice to feel, touchpad is very responsive. 16GB of ram does provide smooth browsing and editing of some videos. No stutters. You can flip him to tablet mode because it is 2in1, convertible laptop. You will receive also pen, which is helpful for people that would like to draw. Speakers, Bang &amp; Olufsen, great sound in overall. Fingerprint reader is nice feature as well.

Huge percentage of laptops do have Intel processor with also integrated Intel Graphic Card. I can tell you from my personal experience, AMD is a game changer - why? Because it was able to achieve similar or even better (in some cases) performance for less money than Intel.

Thanks for reading, feel free to ask questions.

HP ENVY x360 - AFFORDABLE 13'' BEAST

I bought a new hp Elite Book a couple of weeks ago to replace my old Elitebook because I needed greater performance while on long term telework (multi-screen, running several applications including zoom, work vpn, office suite, web based stuff, etc.). I am very happy with the improved performance. BUT - audio is hit or miss

Audio problems!

I need a laptop that has an i5 or i7 cpu, min 8gb ram, 14 or 15" screen (full hd), 256+ SSD. There are many, many laptops with these specs but the most important aspect is that it has ultra durable hinges because the screen gets opened and closed ALOT every day. The last 2 laptops lasted just over a year before the hinges came apart (right out of warranty period on both). I know there are the ultra rugged offerings that are so bulky it looks like it could be run over by a car or dropped from 30 feet and be fine. This still needs to look and feel like a regular modern laptop. Price range is around $1000-$1200 ish. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Edit: I am in the USA.

Need a laptop with VERY durable hinges please! Suggestions?

Good value for the $

Hello there, thanks for reading. I'm going to be leaving the country in a little over a month to start my new job and I'm realizing more and more that buying a laptop will be a better option for me compared to trying to bring my computer from home. 

Budget: around $700 USD or less

Purpose: this will be my everything machine; movies, gaming (indie and AAA), work emails and Zoom calls, Anki, and digital art (Clip Studio Paint).

Features/Doodads: built-in mic and webcam for zoom calls is a must, and a touch screen that can function for digital art would be dope, but not required. also >128 gb SSD

Other than that, I don't have any hard requirements for screen size, bezzle, processor, or storage. I just want something reliable that will hopefully last and not hurt my wallet too too bad.

Thank you for reading and/or commenting, any help is greatly appreciated!

Solid All-Around Laptop for $700

Our other synthetic graphics test is Unigine Superposition. Like 3DMark, the Superposition test renders and pans through a detailed 3D scene and measures how the system copes. In this case, it's rendered in the company&rsquo;s eponymous Unigine engine, offering a different 3D workload scenario than 3DMark for a second opinion on the machine's graphical prowess. Anything below 30 frames per second on this test suggests the machine isn't suited to running demanding AAA games, although browser-based time wasters or forgiving titles like Minecraft should run just fine

76; $2,199 as tested), updated for the seventh generation with a smaller chassis, an improved keyboard, and longer battery life. It's not quite as impressive as the latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8, but it's an excellent alternative.

 The results are proprietary scores, and it's clear that only the ThinkPad X13 in this group offers passable performance. 

The EliteBook 800 series comes in two screen sizes: the 13.3-inch EliteBook 830 and the subject of this review, the 14-inch EliteBook 840. Once upon a time, ditching an inch of screen real estate was a requirement to make a laptop portable enough to slip in and out of your briefcase or handbag through a day of travel or meetings. That's no longer as important as it once was, not only because many businesspeople aren't traveling these days but also because 14-inch laptops have become much smaller

Are you open to refurbs/used?

No - new only


How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

High build quality, light, slim, sleek, professional, >4 hours battery


How important is weight and thinness to you?

Very important


Do you have a preferred screen size?

Medium?


Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? 

Mostly email, web surfing, Word, Excel.. nothing that takes juice


If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 from 1999. Still the greatest game.


Any specific requirements?

Touchpad, no fancy flipping screen crap, no touchscreen


Hi all,

For the past few years, I've been using the Lenovo X1 Carbon G4 that my employer donated to me. I've updated it to have a 1 TB SSD and 16 GB RAM and it runs nicely. I like this laptop because it's slim and lightweight and feels "professional" somehow.

However, despite minimal processes running in the background, this machine will come to a crawl if I have a few browser tabs open that have heavy content on them. Then the fan starts whirring and things become unresponsive for a bit (I've cleaned the exhaust, too). It's not a showstopper, but it bothers me enough to want to upgrade. The laptop runs much smoother on my Ubuntu partition, but I still need Windows for some of the applications I use. And then I figure I can use my existing laptop as a retro video game emulation station on my TV.

I keep looking at Lenovo's site but I'm only looking there because I'm familiar with those machines. I am not really familiar with any other Lenovo models let alone other laptop brands. Looking for sleek, slim, light, professional, powerful. Willing to spend as much as necessary.

Thanks!

Hi

So I'm switching jobs and need to return my ThinkPad T470p, so I'm looking for a 14" laptop for programming and I'm considering these two:

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with Ryzen 7 4700u  
Asus Zenbook 14 with Ryzen 5 5500u or Ryzen 7 5700u (I'd try to get 400 nit 1W screen)

Both have 16GB RAM (ideally would like 32GB, but couldn't find anything mid-range that offers it and don't want to compromise general build quality and battery to get Lenovo IdeaPad 5), similar battery times, positive reviews, etc, so the only difference is processor and build quality/durability/style. I was able to check them out in person (not these exact configurations though) just to have a feel of the build and both look and feel good (maybe Yoga a bit better).

Yoga is available right now, Zenbooks with Ryzen 5000 are not available/sold out, but I reached to the store and they expect to have them in July (my deadline is 1st October, other than that I can wait, but ofc got hyped for a new toy so will probably order sooner).

I will use it mostly for programming. So far I've been working on ThinkPad with i7 7700HQ which is worse than any of these processors in both SC and MC performance and didn't feel limited, so I suspect even 4500u would be okay (not sure how power-hungry my new project would be though), but I also want to future-proof a bit if it wouldn't mean compromising in other areas.

Reasons for Yoga are:  
\- slightly better build quality (subjective, based on 5 min test at the store)  
\- a bit better reviews (better temps, quieter, better keyboard) - at least my general feel after reading every review I could find

Resons for Zenbook:  
\- 200 - 300g lighter (not that important though, both are still better than my 1.8kg ThinkPad)  
\- more future proof  
\- bigger battery? my impression is that Yoga manages power better, because battery times are just slightly worse despite having moderately smaller battery)  
\- more durable? (something I read on some blog post - ASUS laptops tend to have fewer warranty repairs, not sure how true is that though)  
\- better screen? (however, I've read that Yoga has pretty decent screen too and I just need it to be okay. sRGB compliance doesn't mean that much to me either as long as everything "looks" good)

Gaming, etc. doesn't matter that much to me as I have a gaming PC at home. Laptop will be mostly used as desktop replacement (connected mouse &amp; keyboard + 1-2 displays), but I wan't to be able to work also remotely (which is why keyboard and touchpad quality can't be terrible).

Maybe any other suggestions? Price matters only because I'm paying for it myself so I kind of don't want to pay 2x more for 10-20% better laptop (also highly recommended Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro isn't available in my country anyway), but if something is really worth it, I can consider it.

Looking for people who had either of these (or even both of them) and can share some insight whether one stands out more than the other. And (if Lenovo indeed has better build), is the difference in quality worth skipping 5700u in Asus.

Thanks :)

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 vs Zenbook 14

The machine is blazing fast and keeps fairly cool for a small laptop. I can easily recommend it and it’s a great machine.

Hi,
I am looking to buy a new laptop to replace my aging Thinkpad T420.

This is not going to be my primary machine, I just want something to do hobby projects with and some light gaming.

I consider 16GB Ram (or dual slots) to be a necessity.  

The Ryzen 5000U series looks amazing on paper; sadly, in my country tiger lake laptops are MUCH more easily available, and only HP and Dell have physical RAM slots in their entry level laptops.

I have the chance to buy an used HP 15s-en2000ql for 500€ with the following specs:

Full Hd IPS (I think?) matte monitor, 2*4 3200 DDR4, Ryzen 5500U, 512GB nvme ssd, plastic chassis

I could spend 80€ to upgrade the ram to 16GB, but would it be worth it?

I heard some stories about the flimsy plastic of the 15s and extremely noisy fan.

I know Pavilion 15 have some metal in them, but I am not sure how much difference it would make.

Does anyone have experience with HP laptops?

I am open to other suggestions, I am shopping from italy... I'd like to buy something that will last me with a 700€ ish max budget.

5500U would be amazing but I believe 5300U could be fine as well.

It is a bit hard to find comparisons between the two and my own desktop CPU (Ryzen 1600).

Thanks for your help

Looking for a new laptop, experiences with HP?

I personally own my  t530 since about 4 years. The laptop itself must have been manufactured around 2012, so I estimate its age at 8 1/2 years. 

Still going strong with 16gb ram, fhd screen and running linux . Also upgraded to a FHD screen after the previous one was damaged and replaced the keyboard, fan and wifi card.

How long do you own your daily driver thinkpad?
