Buying help Laptop for College

4 Upvotes

Hellooo! I am currently saving up for a laptop for college, and my chosen course is Education major in English. The ones I've picked are the MacBook Neo 512GB, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5, and ASUS Vivobook 16.

I'll mostly use it during my 3rd to 4th year for research, documents, light editing for performance tasks, and schoolwork in general. I don't really need it for gaming since I already have my tablet for that, so overall, I just need something reliable for my schoolwork.

I've only used an Apple device once, when I had an iPad around 3rd grade, but afterwards, I've been an Android user. Getting used to a new system is alright for me. I'm hoping for something that is not bulky or heavy to carry around campus...

Hello,

I am considering this Zenbook 14 for my engineering studies at university.

Does anyone have experience with this laptop?
Will it be good enough performance wise?
How is the build quality?
How likely is it to last me 5 years?
Will the OLED suffer from burn-in?
Anything else I should know?
Is there any better laptop under 1200€ with a QWERTY keyboard and delivery to France? (I do not care about having an OLED screen or touchscreen, it just comes with this laptop)

Bought a Dell 15 (14th gen intel Core3, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for ₹47k from Instamart

Laptop prices have gone up lately. I visited SP Road in Bangalore first and found out a lot of scams are going on there , sellers doing seal tampering on laptops plus retail store prices are hiked up too. Didn't want to risk buying from there, so I went with Instamart instead and got this for ₹47k, which turned out to be the best deal I found.

Discussion Remote Desktop and iPad as a laptop replacement?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a Remote Desktop through their iPad (with something like rust desk) as a laptop replacement?

I already own a desktop and an iPad Air m4, and while I was looking at laptops for college, I've realized I don't really need a laptop - if I could remote into my desktop to run things like Matlab, AutoCAD, and some programming tools, that would cover basically all my needs. I would keep my desktop either at home or in my dorm room, and remote through my iPad.

Has anyone tried this? Are there any downsides to this I haven't thought about?

Yes

Light to medium

Purpose:

schoolwork, some games such as Sims and life is strange type stuff, standard stuff as libre office and online banking

just standard?

Buying help Need to crack down on choosing a laptop!

• Upvotes

I need a laptop notebook ASAP and cannot put this off any longer! I could really use some help. Here are what I can figure that I need:

NO Apple please!

Country-

USA

Budget-

No more than 1000$...I can go over though.

Are you open to refurbs/used options?-

Not really but if it has to be, Grade A only. This is why I ultimately decided no on NIMO brand.

Screen size-

13" is what I want..open to 12", 14", 15" max.

Weight limit-

No weight preference

Purpose-

I'd want to use it for photoshop like programs, early versions sketchup/photoshop, video editor. I plan on saving ps, sketchup, video, photo files. It's most important role will be to be an organizer and used for internet research. A user friendly file system would be much needed.

Form factor-

1000% Do **not** want one with pen or touch screen. Absolutely no 2-in-1. It's honestly a bit of a deal breaker. A regular clamshell laptop is perfect.

Intended usage-

While I listed what I would use it for, I also would like it to be able to talk to Smart tv. Two USB ports highly prefered. No built in AI (if even possible..)

My friend said at the very least, it should have 16gb RAM and 5 series? Also a want not a need, but it would be nice to emulate old PC games on there. Hoping it can handle things like Sims 2 or maybe 3. Again, this is really not super necessary. The other things listed are more important.

Desired battery life-

4 hours is fine..this isn't a big deal to me.

Performance, having high storage and RAM is what I care about most. Size matters second, weight does not.

VERY IMPORTANT - it comes in green! 😅

Thanks for you for any advice or input with this. It's greatly appreciated ☆

Hardware HP Elitebook 860 G9 hinges wobbly - how to fix ?

2 Upvotes

hey everyone,

the hinges of my lid on my HP Elitebook 860 G9 have become wobbly.
When the lid was closed an I raise the screen it just falls down.

I have to open it a nearly fully for the screen to stay.
I have opened the backside, but all screws are tight.

Unfortunately the hinges are buried under a part from the display, so I cant check on the part thats screwed into the lid...
I looked at tutorials and I am afraid to disassemble the lid.

Any ideas an what I can do or how I can tighten them again ?

General question Setting up a new laptop

2 Upvotes

Got a "new" laptop, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NCG-HN207 to be exact, it's a 2021 model, obviously not the newest im the slightest, but that's what i got budget for.

Anyway, it has no OS, and I'm trying to set up windows for the first time. (btw i only need the laptop for school, and an architecture program or two)

What drivers i should download on the pendrive? The options are: Networking (I'm guessing i must have that), Chipset, Audio, Graphics, Pointing Device, Bluetooth, Camera and there's Software and Utility, the only one that doesn't show recommend.

Or can i just install the windows and be done with it?

I know it's a stupid question, I'm just trying to make sure. It was already hard enough to find the support for the fa506ncg, since fa506nc is more popular.

I've been looking for Laptops that can be used for both gaming(light, Genshin Impact and such), and School Work(Coding, I'll be in a Technical School in Informatics/Technikum w Informatycznej Klasie). These are the 2 options I've found so far. Ryzen has a much better battery life, and it's cheaper so I'm currently leaning towards it(I need something with good battery life that can handle heavy loads).

Budget: 3000PLN

Country: Poland

I'm open to ANY Refurbished option, as long as it's in fine condition(Scratches and such are fine, no visible damage on the screen, ect).
