Are Asus ROG laptops quiet and cool?
I'm looking into buying one
The model is GL502VM(identical to GL502VT except for the graphics)

>>57114861
Great, another general.

>>57115145
>Are Asus ROG laptops quiet
yes

>>57115891
Sometimes. Depends on the model. The fat ones are quiet, the smaller ones are louder than an f-18

>>57114861
>xps 13
are these good laptops?

14" or 15.6" <2400 USD Laptop
- Quadcore CPU
- Nvidia Graphics card (i need them CUDA cores if quadro even better)

>>57116274
yes

ThinkPad P70

Been a daily laptop for over 6 months and I love it.

>>57116366
>>57116408
Oh wait, yeah, P50 because you wanted a 14 15.6" laptop.

>>57116418
Hey fellow E15 user! :D

I bought it last week and what a steal this laptop is. Love it a lot!

>>57116488
It truly surprised me. It's light and fit for daily use.
I opted for the 4GB as I don't use any more than word, xcel or light browsing. A friend of mine got the 8GB and he quite likes it a lot.

Just like I told my mother.

Do not get used, do not get 2nd rate,

>want a laptop for photo and video editing
>considering the Dell inspiron 7559

That's it. I have no problem playing games on medium settings which it can do perfectly fine. Like I said I mostly need it for editing the fact that it can game is just a plus and it will be light gaming at best.

The thinkpad 13 looks like a great value laptop

I'm looking for something to watch video, do my word/excel shit on and maybe dual boot to fuck around with linux. If it can play 2d games/emulators it's a plus, but I can live without that.

Portability and battery life are somewhat important, since I'll be taking this with me on 1-1.5 hour train commutes. Budget is around 150-200 euro. I don't mind buying secondhand much, though I'm obviously wary.

ASUS ZenBook UX305FA with Win 10, considering wiping it and putting Win 7 and a beginner Loonix distro on it.

I used it primarily for note-taking in school, but since I dropped out I just use it to browse social media.

Cheapest non-used value laptop? Please, /g/.

My father needs a 17-inch laptop for work. No gaming or video editing, just excel and basic programs like that. Budget of about $1000 dollars and the laptop should be durable.

Any suggestions?

Jesus man, dont get a dell, its like the Clinton of computers with its built in hardware.

for god sake, if You get a dell do not tell anybody 4chan gave You advice, hell never mention us again.

honest, wait till Tuesday through Wedsday, this is when business is slow and You have the best shot at getting a cheep high end AMD computer.
Dell, oh boy do I have stories for You.... DO NOT get a dell, Just dont get a dell unless You just want to fuck around and play video games or something.

Holidays, and slow times, small failing businesses always have sales, dont worry they are almost certainly nigger owned.

>>57116366
Wait for new mackbook pro
they didnt release anything for 2 years so it might be interesting
then theres dell XPS 15 for ya
if you are a gamer then you want pascal gpu inside
look for razer stuff too

and feel free to ignore masses of ignorant thinkpad fags, not that theres something terribly wrong with it
but meh, its stuck in the 2013 spec, screen wise... seriously, and I am not advocating some 4k screen, nope, I mean just quality, brightness of it

Netbook? ASUS EeeBook X205TA. Retails for $150 USD. Godsend battery life.

I touched a Mac once!

So cool! Yolo!

I am waiting for the Macbook Pro 2016 release but rumours are that it won't have a touch screen display which bothers me after playing with literally EVERY OTHER LAPTOP at the stores that has one. I'm a designer and need to sketch a lot so


Pic unrelated because I wish I was Indiana Jones enough to need this.
Considering Lenovo.. but not sure.

Advice on my shit-tier notebook? Aiming for a gaming/cpu-intensive upgrade. Kinda cheap-ass, can't afford a better laptop. No to desktop because I travel a lot.

...But will it explode?

What's the most thinkpad'ish modern laptop? In the sense of design and layout. I really like the design of, say, the t520(keyboard, mouseoptions, visually appealing), but I'd like nodern hardware and battery, preferably without frankensteining the entire thing. Modern lenovos are drastically different, not a big fan

>>57117807
because our world is not revolting around thinkpads to know alternatives
they will know the best since they have been looking for ages
so yeah, fuck off?

Get a ThinkPad or a MacBook Pro. That is the answer for all questions. No other laptops are worth buying.

also hows life in 2012?

get a mac, its just the best for every one here.

Friend needs a laptop for school, needs to be able to do some basic browsing, document writing, and light gaming (meme games like tf2 or duck game). Only thing is he needs space for a shit ton of Dropbox files to be used offline at certain events like debate tournaments. So an actually large hard drive is necessary.

This seems good enough but I just wanna make sure there isn't anything else better at the same or lower price.

I need a gaming laptop for deployment
I don't care about size or portability

>>57117946
nothing interesting in such price range
and that one got FHD and i3 so it wont get much bettter
check how hard is dissasembly and get him to invest in to SSD
makes that notebook 10x faster for those basic things

I want a new i3, 4gb RAM, and good battery life for $300 or under.

>>57117825
>jumping from a very tall building
>you are literally buying notebook that wont play youtube HD videos without stutter

IIRC a YouTube review showed the opposite. But I'll investigate more, thanks.

I'm in need of a new laptop.
Need to look fine as fuck, have an audio jack and not have a shitty screen:body ration.
Must have SSD.

Budget is unlimited.
Gold color is not a preference but willing to settle.

Needs to be fast all the time. I'm not going to play games on it, only Excel, Word and the usual business. Might watch some Netflix on it once in a while.

Macbooks are out of the question.

I have an HP Elitebook 8540w, it's loaded with zorin, I just use it for browsing the web and maybe watching videos. Only spent 100 dollars on it from a friend so i'm happy.

Antergos plays pretty well with Zenbooks. The only issue I've had so far is the screen backlight keys not working out of the box. Be sure to use the Zen kernel, not just for meminng but bc you'll get more stability and

Not sure about that exact model, but had an older model in the same chassis that caused me all sorts of shitty problems.

for 200$ You can get a brand new Gaming laptop in India, You just need to look REALLY allot for best and cheepest laptop.

Dont stop, Just keep looking non stop, sometimes it takes 5 minutes sometimes 500 years, most important, DO NOT stop looking for best and cheepest Indian laptop! its there! Just keep looking DONT BLINK damnit.

Who knows, it might be 10 dollars!

Left or right?

HP 360, Its one hell of a toy, but I feel its exactly that compared to an actual functional computer.

I dunno, If looking good is Your thing then go HP.

Lenovo will not be as flashy as HP but they tend to have better specs compared to HP

ASUS Transformer is something You should atleast look at compared to the 2 Premium options I mentioned.

Odly enough, Dell has almost no complaints and as far as I hear the Ultra thin flexy laptops they make are... I hear are top notch (against my personal opinion) Also Dell is usually the best bang for the buck,...

If You want personal opinion, You know I am biased, I try to keep that part to myself.

Depends on whether you want a UNIX system or not.

Well If that guy wants Unix, hell might a well just get a 20$ black box from captain crunch.

Okay /g/ looking for a laptop between
250-310.

Need it for college, but I also want to play games (not recent AAA games or anything recent but I do want to be able to play some older ones optimally with great performance)

>>57119766
I'd dual boot the xps anyway

>>57114861
/g/ - Generals and video game hardware

still much more buggy than macOS. honestly for the same money I'd take a macbook any day especially if you're just going to install linux on a high end notebook like that.

I bought a HP omen 15t 5100 CTO witt a 4th gen i7 processor / gtx 960m. I use it for recording/ editing videos, gaming on everything from san andreas to ARK, watching movies and shows, and shitposting on the internet. I have grown to love this computer even though windows 10's bullshit for its capability and portability.

PROS
>light, slim profile (5 lbs i think)
>easily configurable fan speeds, macros, individual lighting regions in full spectrum LED
>1920 x 1080, 15 inch screen
>can to run high end games ( i play ARK on high graphics with sold 30+ frames with razer cortex)
>solid state drive
>decent battery, can play games like autismcraft for an hour and a half or more depending on power settings
>hdmi port, 4 usb ports, sd port, headphone jack

CONS
>no ethernet port
>default drive size 128 gb
>overheats on intensive game ( i have a cooling pad and a cold room so that works for me)
>rear mounted usb and everything else (except sd port on right side.)
>no disk drive
>huge trackpad gets in the way sometimes, and is difficult to play 2 button games with (i use a usb keyboard and mouse most of the time)
>battery is covered and not removable (idk if this is really a con)

that's pretty much all i can think of, got it on sale for 1299$ off from 1799$, is almost exactly a year old and still runs beautifully.
this was the first "expensive" gaming laptop i've bought so i'm wondering how it stacks up to other similar asus/alienware/gigabyte etc laptops.

I'm looking for a laptop for gaming and photo editing. Price isn't an issue, but cheaper is better. Should have a nice keyboard, good screen, and good video card. Also prefer it not be too bulky, and no "look I'm a gamer" rigs.
