I’m in a dell right now

 

[Erdrick]

Still rocking my 2012 Sony Vaio. I'd get a new one but they don't really exist quite as they used to back then.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Used a windows 8 touch screen sony vaio, acknowledged apple and its macbook, used an Alienware 15r3 for gaming, and that ended up in a dumpster with motherboard failure. I think my last laptop was an HP and I shouldn’t have sold that.

Once you've experienced Thinkpad keyboards it's hard to settle for anything lesser.

Mm main laptop is a Surface Pro 3. My "backup" is the iPad with keyboard. There are also a couple chromebooks floating around.

Lenovo i5 10th gen, 32MB RAM, gtx1650, 1TB m2 SSD.

Basically a Nintendo Switch with more storage.

Review of the first Snapdragon based laptops here.



I'm eyeing one up in 2025 (hopefully an Asus Zenbook) at which point my current machine will be 3 years old.

 

[digital_ghost]

Certified Refurbished 17 inch Lenovo 12th gen Intel laptop i found on eBay for $300

Came with a 2 year warranty. Its only a few years old and even came with wifi 6.

Not bad laptop. Fast.

Dell G15 with a RTX 3060/16gb/512/i7

 

[Ememee]

I was looking for the tech help/advice thread but figured this'll do:

I haven't had a computer/desktop since 2010.
Friend is offering me her MacBook Pro from 2015 for $150.

I don't know shit about tech but feel I need a computer/desktop/laptop already.

Doubt I'll use it for games.
A fancy computer sounds enticing..

But I think I'd rather one that gets me by, is competent and doesn't necessarily break the bank. Any ideas, suggestion...? Or is the MacBook Pro from 2015 a good deal??..

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

M3 pro (w/ 36 GB RAM), it's unbeatable for work... and even if go to a coffee shop to work for 5 hours or something, I never bring a charger anymore, it'll just last.

Also very powerful for machine learning experiments once you can get the mps versions of pytorch etc installed properly.

 

[AJUMP23]

My work is a dell.

 

[V1LÆM]

M3 MacBook Air 15” with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.

I don’t use it for anything demanding so that’s more than enough for me but I love it. Solid built and never any issues. I have my PC for gaming and doing intensive stuff.

 

[ReBurn]

I just bought a 14" M4 MacBook Pro with the larger M4 Pro chip and 1 TB SSD. Sold my M2 MBP to a coworker for more than Apple was offering in trade.

I had a laptop several years ago, but only used it a couple of times a year for light word processing and emails after getting an iPad. When I needed it, the battery would be dead and that just shortened the life of it.
When I upgraded to an iPad 10, I bought a Logitech keyboard that plugs directly into the Smart Connector. I now have a laptop that I never need to charge because my laptop is also my iPad, which I use and charge daily.

It may not be for everyone, but it has really simplified my life.

 

[Unknown?]

Starlabs Starbook MkV here. Great laptop! Had it since 2021.

I get it. I use my iPads way more than my laptop for average tasks.

I get it. I use my iPads way more than my laptop for average tasks.

I have an M2 Mac Mini which does the heavy lifting for apps like Plex and Handbrake while the Steam Deck is perfect for gaming. I even got rid of my PC gaming setup/desk, since I wasn’t using it anymore. Instead I have it all setup under the TV in the living room which is far more convenient.

Surface Laptop 2023 in black

 

[Warnen]

upgraded to a 2024 Asus G14 Zephyrus. The Oled screen is amazing. Don't use my ipad much anymore.

 

[Kenpachii]

MSI Vector GP68 HX 12V.
Basically a 4080 RTX laptop.

Love it, use it every day for gaming. Only downside is V-ram is a bit low 12gb, but it does the job.
