ALPHA17 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) I would pick up the Inspiron 11 or wait for Coffee Lake budget SKU's /AMD Raven Ridge SKU based devices to come to this price point. If you are constrained by time and have to pick up the device right now, I think the gaudy DELL is a better bet than any other unless like @AtheK suggested you want to pick up an HP Spectre /DELL XPS line device. 1 hour ago, CarbonCore said: Nah done with their overpriced sh*t.

Something about them have "shady" written all over it like inside build. Also services were really bad when I had one. Nevermind. I'm dumb lol. Justsaying.

Never thought I would see the day. Yeah I can wait till 8th gen Intels start showing up in 11" form factor. Also every Apple thing I own is from before Jobs' death, haven't bought anything since. I realize now I was more of fan of the person than company itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) ^ Cool, let me know what happens. Coffee Lake is already available in larger notebooks but let's hope it comes to smaller devices and that AMD launches and ties up for Raven Ridge for smaller solutions too. 23 minutes ago, CarbonCore said: Also every Apple thing I own is from before Jobs' death, haven't bought anything since.

SonicDave Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Can someone recommend a slim non-gaming laptop for "heavy office" works? Like Ultrabooks but with better processor. We actually have an Ultrabook with older i3U CPU. Not happy with the performance. Desired specs: 1. CPU: i5/i7 with 4 cores. (Non-U chips please) 2. RAM: 8GB minimum 3. HDD: SSD 3. 15.6" 4. 1080p display with very good display and color production. 5. Discrete graphics not required but it will be bonus. Doesn't have to be GTX1050. Even older lower-mid GTX 9xxM works 6. Should be light like Ultrabooks if possible. 7. Budget: N/A. Mid-tier range. 8. Preferred brand: Dell. I want something like an XPS but in 15.6".

sid_008 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 So my brother is graduating from Photography school. Need to buy him a laptop for photo editing / video rendering / content creation. Screen brightness and accuracy is important. Was thinking of getting him this Macbook Pro: https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B073QVY9PQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509792553&sr=1-3&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=macbook+pro&dpPl=1&dpID=51G4Ma1StgL&ref=plSrch That 128 SSD is a huge downer as I am assuming post OS it will have around 80/90 GB ? But the difference between 128 and 256 is almost 14k a bit too much for just the space. Anyone who is into photo editing and content creation, Is there any other recommendation is good screen ? Budget is less than a lakh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 ^ Is your brother tied into the Mac ecosystem or no? If not, you should look at professional notebooks from other OEM's like DELL, HP, ASUS and MSi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
