what are the laptops with the best displays on the market right now, I'm looking for something sub $2000 with great color accuracy, wide gamut, and decent brightness. i found this laptop which looks like the best screen on a sub $2000 laptop that doubles as a gaming machine, is this my only option? gigabyte.us/Laptop/AERO-15
i won't be using it for gaming specifically, but id like something with high specs since ill want longevitivity from it, a minimum of 5 years i want to keep this laptop.
also general laptop thread without thinkpad elitists please
Uh, I don't think OP is that poor… Laptops with 4K displays exist.
Caleb Adams
>uncalibrated 4k displays with shitty backlight bleed just so they can check off a box on the spec sheet >better yeah, no
Caleb Turner
>Applel displays >shitty 8-bit panels
Lmao
Cameron Evans
Just bought this.
Waiting for it to come in
>gaming laptops after all these years are finally no longer a meme
Thank you based pascal.
>7700hq basically same perf as i5 7600k (all u need 4 games) (wont bottle neck even a titan xp) >full fat gtx 1060 for gaming on the go > Alienware Graphics Amplifier for gaming at home >Only eGPU option that actually uses direct PCIe > light af at only 5 pounds > great battery life > premium build quality
Can't fuckin wait for it to get here at the end of the week.
What specs should I look out for in a relatively new fullstack dev machine?
Andrew Bennett
does alienware pull that rub "sections" bullshit like mis does?
Carson Butler
what's the poorest poorfag laptop i can possibly get? willing to install the ugliest de possible for stability too
Joshua Hernandez
>rub "sections"
Elaborate?
Jayden Fisher
RGB* the Mi mix is a good phone but the autocorrect is a bit wonky when you first get it
Elijah Carter
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Joshua Gonzalez
whats your top budget?
Brody Perry
Enjoy your shitty t500 nightmarefuelpad, faggot.
around 60-100 bucks is about as low as it goes for modern day usability mixed with old as fuck but still good enough qualities.
Brandon Russell
>gaming laptop
Ryan Collins
Defend that purchase big boy, hope you enjoy your overpriced Christmas tree of a laptop
Dominic Garcia
It defends itself?
Precision/latitude tier build quality god tier keyboard god tier OLED screen light Portable powerful
It doesn't have excessive LEDs, i like that the keyboard LED and Trackpad LED are customizable, so that's a subjective bonus for me. If you don't like that shit, you can disable it all.
it was 1500 dollars on sale. You can probably find a cheaper gaming laptop, but it won't have this level of build quality.
The alien asthetic is pretty fucking dumb but it feels pretty minimal in the over all design compared to previous iterations.
>Logo >power button >back of the screen
I'm a chick so I like customizing my shit and making it look pretty. Precisions are NEVER pretty, but they are among the most well made laptops in the world. This is the best of both.
Normally I'd agree, but as I said early. 2017 is the first year gaming laptops are reasonably decently possible. At no point in history has perf/watt been good enough. It's only barely there, but its enough for me to want to try. If it sucks i'll fuckin sell it and build a ryzen machine and go back to using a used e7440.
Camden Baker
I dick around on old laptop hardware and os's too much, man handle the shit out of them. I'd be far too afraid to have a modern needle dick laptop.
Josiah Ramirez
I'm waiting for this to come out. >1060 max q >thunderbolt 3 >4k option >good build quality >no retarded gaymer asthetics besides red accents the only con seems to be 54w battery, but it's fast charging so might not be too bad.
Thomas Watson
Is there a laptop that has "MacBook" build quality while also having a slim profile, magnetic charger cable and having a nice design?
Not trying to start shit, genuine question as I look for my new laptop
Andrew Diaz
The only one would be the Surface laptop
And you DO NOT WANT that fucking peice of garbage.
Julian Flores
do any of you fags have a system76 laptop? I'm thinking about picking up a oryx pro with a few upgrades
Justin Diaz
link to product page?
Isaiah Phillips
Aren't the Max Q's basically just gimped versions of the usual card? Like the Max Q 1080 performs like a 1070 I thought.
Parker Stewart
Not quite but almost yeah. Most reviewers argue its on the fence.
Hello Sup Forums. I don't know much about laptops but right now I'm in need of a new one. I don't need something fancy or expensive, just want that will run fairly well, have decent storage, and look decent graphics-wise. I also hate touch screens so I'd rather avoid them. What should I get?
Nicholas Lewis
Want something with a GTX 1060 Lenovo Y720 or Apache Pro or Clevo Have a 960M Clevo but it's fucky
I configured this HP Omen with a GTX 1070, 512gb nvme and a i7 7700 for under $2000.
Jaxon King
Dell 7567 or x230?
Grayson Brown
What is decent graphics wise?
Isaac Powell
Dell inspiron gaming laptops are good build quality.
Jason Morgan
Better than shit but less than good
Elijah Rivera
Hp sucks shit right from the ass hole my friend. Get a Dell.
Luis Phillips
So like Intel HD 620 is not totally awful.. But you know a gtx 1050 beats it hand over fist so be more specific you shit face
Blake Phillips
Can someone give me a recommendation for something either used or new that is
1. Sub let's say $600 2. Has a highish res screen, at least not 1366x768 3. Is max 13" 4. Isn't Intel Atom shit
I have an x230 now but can't stand the screen res. I'm contemplating getting a Chromebook Pixel and booting linux, since that has a great screen for the price, but not sure if I'll end up doing that.
Gabriel Thompson
get a thinkpad p51 with a good gpu or a p71 off of the lenovo online outlet, you can get it for like 950 USD and it'll last you easily 10 years
i got one with a xeon cpu, m2200m gpu for 900 usd, fuck yes
Oliver Mitchell
Latitude e6440 refurb
Jose Clark
GET A THINKPAD FROM THE LENOVO ONLINE OUTLET
Kevin Evans
I wish deluded thinkfaggots would fuck off.
William Long
I own the aero 15 ama
Ethan Ramirez
>own until you miss a payment and repo break into your house
scroll down, list of laptops with one of these there
Robert Edwards
>gigabyte garbage
Rip
Michael Kelly
Gonna piggyback onto this thread. Suggestions on a good laptop for students for under 800? Ssd preferred
Christian Lewis
Excuse me I watched a dave2d video and he said it was really good he even had a thermal camera and told me it had high nits u think I know what the fuck a nit is but I bought it anyway
Jacob Lopez
There are thousands faggot be more specific.
Fuck off or go buy a chromebook.
Chase Torres
This, HP build quality is 0/10 you're guaranteed to have problems
The screen is amazing. If you have a Costco nearby I highly recommend it. The price was marked "$300 off $1600," but that's the base price. With the above specs and free copy of office it comes in at over $2,000.
Matthew Young
Sounds like it came in at 1300 for you
Joseph Evans
Chromebook not sufficient, need to run exam software that only runs on windows or mac. The question implicitly asks what the best I could do for 800 is. Good battery life is a plus, not going to be used for gaming. Ssd because I need it for traveling around, i3+ 4gb+ 128gb+? I don't know what else I could add.
Brody Perez
What model?
Specifically what model that satisfies 13" or less and a non-shit screen resolution?
I love the way they look but 960M to 1050 Ti isn't a worthwhile upgrade to me
Ryder Lewis
Post feet
Noah Lewis
Looks good man thanks, does the video card impact battery life when word processing?
Tyler Johnson
It's alright, the screen is nice. Although I think this thread has derailed. I got the black option because I can't pull off an orange or green laptop
Jonathan Martinez
Heat issues?
Kevin Morris
I'm thinking to get the 13" one, after a long search, it is the only one checked all the boxes. But, is it wise to buy now, or wait for the better Nvidia and CPU this year?
Julian Evans
>literally 3 times the performance >fatty 1050 Ti is equal to a 980m >its not worth it
Nigga please
Benjamin Gray
The 7700HQ doesn't bottleneck even a 1080Ti.
We might get a CPU refresh but I'm thinking it'll take another 6 months
So you can be a waitfag or just buy whats available right now and when what evers next comes out, if its a reasonable upgrade to you, buy it and sell the other thing, or dont.
Volta wont be releasing for another 6 months. Laptop Variants will take at least as long if not longer.
Andrew Long
When are we gonna have ryzen based laptops?
Adam Allen
>The 7700HQ doesn't bottleneck even a 1080Ti. I'm not a gaymer, so games bottlenecks doesn't concern me, however, I do 3D design and I travel a lot, that's why CPU upgrade (maybe ryzen, 8 cores) will be great.
Benjamin Garcia
I guess you need to look at what software you're personally running and decide for yourself.
Nolan Cooper
No idea, I don't own it.
Christian Ross
>Guy recommends a gaming laptop >I'm not going to be gaming
Lol
Do you want performance or size? I can find you a nice refurb business laptop from eBay. They have significantly better build quality and are much better to type on, have better screens, etc, and are way fucking cheaper.
Landon Johnson
No heat issues so far, I have edited 4k video in premiere with the laptop on my lap and it's gotten warm but not unbearable
Jacob Nelson
The only thing you're going to get better in a laptop is the 7820hq unless you shell out a fucking mint for some Xeon or a literal 8000 dollar desktop gpu in a laptop house fire.
ASUS has a ryzen 7 in the pipeline, but fuck asus their build quality is shit and their warranty support is the worst in the world.
So guess you get to be a waitfag then rippo!
Benjamin Wilson
Not planning on gaming on this whatsoever, I have a desktop for that. This is just for grad school exams and doing some word processing and reading on the go.
Michael Miller
are the new kaby lake U series chips going to be any good or is it safer just to wait till coffee lake? quad core 13 inch machines sound really good on paper.
Oliver Gonzalez
who are the ghosting issues user, is the screen size decent with games, any throttling or stutters?
Mason Miller
how is the screen brightness on it, also is the color accuracy a gimmick or is it worth shelling out. any issues that might cause regret?
Evan Ross
>>no retarded gaymer asthetics besides red accents And the star wars jet pack on it's ass
Julian Ward
With these types of laptops the intel graphics kick in when you're not playing games. This leads to lower temps, almost no fan noise, and increased battery life. When I start gaming I get around 30-45 minutes of battery life. When I am just typing and browsing I get around 3 hours.
Brayden Gomez
Who the fuck puts a laptop on payments?
Jayden Sullivan
Acer Aspire E5-575G is my laptopfu
Luis Edwards
I don't do much work where color accuracy is important, but it's clearly not a gimmick
Henry Miller
No ghosting, screen feels small but above 60 fps on pubg 1080p ultra. That's with Adobe cc and Ms office loaded
Justin Walker
whats the response time for the panel, i read somewhere that it was in the 28ms range, is it shit for fast paced multiplayer games?
Hudson Mitchell
>7700hq basically same perf as i5 7600k (all u need 4 games) (wont bottle neck even a titan xp)
i5 7600k is a bottleneck for titan xp, even if you clock it to the same speeeds as a 7700k.
Carson Green
my reaction time sucks so it could be bad and I wouldn't be able to tell you
James Garcia
just look, there are hundreds in stock
Jason Johnson
>Acer Are their power supplies and jacks still shitty and unreliable?
Carter Hughes
> 7700hq basically same perf as i5 7600k (all u need 4 games) (wont bottle neck even a titan xp)
What is meant by bottleneck here? For me to say that a CPU dont bottleneck, would mean that another CPU wouldnt increase the fps in a multitude of games. Games still benefits from clockspeed so the 7700hq would be a bottleneck compared to 7700k and many newer games benefits from a increase of threads so the i5 7600k bottlenecks in these.
Levi Powell
Calling bullshit here. 7600k has like 7% less single thread performance than the 7700k. if it does bottleneck it has to be like a 3% loss tops.
Can you even provide a single fact to back that up?
It's simple, if the CPU is maxed out, and the GPU isn't, and it's a demanding game and your performance doesn't match up what others are getting in online benchmarks, then there is a bottleneck.
the 7700HQ doesn't bottleneck the 1080 Ti. That will not change. When volta launches, the GV102 will probably get bottlenecked by it.
Connor Morgan
Great machine, got mine some days ago but with a i5-6300HQ. I won't get HDR support and lost a lot of CPU performance but the OLED (only reason to buy this) was all worth it.
Elijah Diaz
What about Acer is reliable at any point ever? Even their fucking 8 grand joketop that weighs 24 pounds has shitty fucking build quality and design.
I probably should've kept mine cheaper, but it's gonna be a desktop replacement. Can't wait to see the OLED screen.
William Butler
Why laptop batteries sucks ass
Kevin Sanchez
Do a 5% grey test on your screen so you can exchange it if necessary before warranty runs out. OLED panel quality on laptops and tvs's is a gamble so better safe than sorry.
Sebastian Hughes
It's not coming in till Thursday.
Any other tests you'd recommend? Why the grey test specifically?
