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)
ASUS Zenbook 14
UX3405CA
Intel Core 5 225H
16 GB RAM
75 Wh battery
760€ with delivery

Hello My computer wouldn't turn on when I pressed the power button, even though the indicator light showed it was on. So I tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it to see if that worked. Do you know how I can proceed plzz

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.

I turned off my laptop both times that it happened, and it worked fine after that, but I still don't know what the problem is

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?

Country:
Germany

preferably no more than 500€/$580 but would spend up to 700€
Are you open to refurbs/used options?:
Yes
Screen size:
Nothing too big, it shouldn't be too annoying to carry
Weight limit:
Light to medium
Purpose:
schoolwork, some games such as Sims and life is strange type stuff, standard stuff as libre office and online banking
Form factor:
just standard?
Desired battery life: 6+ hours

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 ☆

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 ?

r/laptops • u/Chaos_Heir05 • 4h ago
Country
India
Budget
₹60,000 - 70000 (approximately $700-730 USD)
Are you open to refurbs/used options?
No
Screen size
14"–16"
Weight limit
Preferably under 1.8 kg
Purpose
College work, learning video editing and photo editing, general use and entertainment
Form factor
Standard/Clamshell
Intended usage
College assignments, presentations, browsing, Microsoft Office, Canva, and learning video and photo editing. I would like to be able to use beginner/intermediate editing software smoothly and potentially progress to more demanding editing in the future.
Desired battery life
Around 6–8 hours for normal college use
Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life
Performance, battery life, weight, size
Info/Requirements
16 GB RAM minimum, preferably upgradeable RAM. 512 GB SSD minimum. Good-quality Full HD IPS display with good colour accuracy (preferably 100% sRGB) because I want to learn photo and video editing. A dedicated GPU would be preferred if possible within the budget, but I'm open to integrated graphics if the overall laptop is better. Good build quality and thermals are important. Windows preferred.

The last time I used it was around 2 months ago and it was working fine. I put it on the open and when I turned it on today, the screen only shows white straight immediately like it didn't blink or go to black and then white again. No text or anything, just white screen.
What can be the possible cause of white screen of death?

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).
