LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Country

India (will be moving to Europe next year for my master’s degree)

Budget

₹60,000-- ₹70,000 (around $700--$850 USD)

Are you open to refurbs/used options?

Maybe, if reliable

Screen size

14"–15.6"

Weight limit

Preferably lightweight since I’ll carry it daily to university/campus

Purpose

Academic/research laptop for long-term heavy student usage

Form factor

Standard/Clamshell laptop

Intended usage

• Heavy academic research and study work

• ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and other AI tools

• Canva

• Notion, NotebookLM and note-taking apps

• Microsoft Teams/Zoom for lectures

• Research work, presentations and multitasking

• Lots of browser tabs, PDFs, journals and recorded lectures open together

I’ll probably spend long hours on it every day, so I want something that stays smooth even with heavy multitasking and doesn’t start lagging after 2–3 years.

I don’t game at all, so gaming performance is not a priority.

Desired battery life

At least 7–9 hours of real-world usage

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

• Want the laptop to comfortably last around 7–8 years

• Good build quality and thermals are important

• Reliable keyboard and display for long study sessions

• Since I’ll be moving to Europe, repairability and after-sales service matter a lot. I’d prefer something that can be repaired there at a reasonable cost if needed

• Not leaning towards MacBooks because Apple repairs can become very expensive abroad

• I honestly don’t know much about tech/laptop technicalities, so beginner-friendly suggestions would really help 😭

My Macbook Air 2018 finally went kapoot, the screen went black and it doesn't respond at all now. So I'm looking for a new laptop, anything that IS NOT a Macbook.

Country: USA

Budget: $1000, prefer below $800

Screen size: Fine with a 13-in or 14-in, if the size impacts price a lot I'd rather that range

Weight Limit: Light enough that I don't feel like I'm holding a brick

Purpose: Browsing, chatting via local app that might take up around 300MB or more, and Light Gaming

Form factor: A regular laptop, but I'd heavily prefer an aluminum casing or something that isn't plastic. I like how the aluminum feels

Intended Use: Maybe games like CK3, Infinity Nikki, City Skylines, if a gaming laptop is a must I'd rather just forego the option unless it can still be kind-of runnable. Also would appreciate something that won't sound like a jet engine just from having a youtube video on for extended periods of time.

Desired battery life: Unsure, not really that big of a deal for me as I keep mine plugged in a lot.

Requirements: Aside from the aluminum casing, I do like 2k resolution but I know that is pricey so I'll forego unless it can be found in the price range. Also at least 16gb of ram, more would be preferable but I won't count on it.

So, I am one of those people very interested in a Snapdragon Latop - specifically Lenovo Yoga Slim 7X X2 Elite X2E-80-100 with 32GB RAM.

Now, I know its super overpriced, but aesthetics are important to me, and the 'thin and light with awesome screen' is a big seller for me. My company will pay about a third of the price for me, so that helps with that aspect.

I have pretty basic use case really. I don't expect to do any or much gaming at all, and same goes for graphic design or 4K video editing. Probably overkill for that, but I'm kind of fixed on this

Not interested in Linux or niche apps. Purely a normal home office machine that just happens to be super fast, beautifully designed, and futureproof.

I guess I'm worried about future support, and how frequently qualcomm pushes out updates.

There is an intel variant with Ultra 7 355. But I get so confused with all these different Intel chips I have no idea if this one is 'good' and comparable to the snapdragon in speed and efficiency, or runs hotter / more power hungry.

Is the intel the clear better choice? Safer for sure. But, seeing reviews on how quiet, power efficient these X2 chips are make them very interesting.

Or, is ARM on Windows too young at the moment and I'm much better off.

Thank you for any opinions!

Looking for a laptop-not chromebook- for my 6 year old. Mostly to play minecraft and do some school work. Price range up tp $250.00 USD. Thanks!

 Budget: Max $1000

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: 14 inches

◽️ Touch screen: Yes, with foldable 2-1 design.

◽️ Screen resolution: QHD OLED display. 2, 2.5, or 3k resolutions are all acceptable.

Country

 

United States

 

Budget

 

$500 - $800

 

Are you open to refurbs/used options?

 

Yes

 

Screen size

 

Preferably 11” to 13” but I don’t really care all that much

 

Weight limit

 
Any.

 

Purpose

 
General purpose and schoolwork. Id like to be able to program and use blender comfortably.

 

Form factor

 

It would be nice to have pen support, but thats not a very big deal. Standard clamshell form factor is just fine.

 

Intended usage

 
Id like to get into programming and blender, and frequently use some cad software like Onshape. Frequently browse the web and stream videos and movies. Intend to run linux, so official or community support for Linux is very appreciated, and kind of important. I would also like to see if i can get a local AI working, but thats just an idea and does not matter very much, if at all. I plan to do some very light indie gaming, and maybe trying gamedev myself, but thats probably only 2d games, maybe very light Minecraft.

 

Desired battery life

 
I don’t know what is standard, so maybe 10+ hours? Is that outside my budget?

 

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

 

Performance, battery life, size, weight.

 

Info/Requirements

 

Preferably HDR and OLED, but a higher end screen that isn’t OLED is probably fine (just not some really gray screen.) Community Linux support as mentioned above (so preferably AMD), 90+hz refresh rate and 1080+p, but I’m willing to compromise. Extensive I/O would be nice, but it seems hard to come by (at least Thunderbolt/usbc4, and video output)

 
If it means anything, I want a laptop because Ive started trying to run non-game programs on my Steam Deck, but its hard to do with a controller, and carrying a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard is too much.

I’ll be a lot more busy but id still like to be able to play some less demanding games like valorant/minecraft and subnautica 2 which just came out (not sure if its demanding). Not looking for anything super specific but something that’s just decent generally

I was wondering about laptops worth considering under a budget of 1000$

I’ve been looking at brands like ASUS and HP for now but please let me know if there are better options 🙏

Country - USA

Budget - $700

Open to new or Refurb, but I would prefer an established source (not eBay)

* **Screen size**

ANY  

* **Weight limit**

None- this doesn’t need to be very portable, just from one room to another in the house. Not a concern at all.

 

* **Purpose**

My kid is looking to try his hand at a bunch of different things- building really small LLM models (chatbots- Ollama), some visual design work for 3D printing (openscad), visual design (Blender), and maybe even checking out game design with engines like unreal 5 (not sure if this even possible). Some other tinkering stuff like running IDEs to write scripts for Aurduino’s and Rasberry Pi’s.

I’m aware that the ‘real’ minimum spec for ANY of these might be out of scope for a cheap PC, we are just looking for something that will give him a fighting chance to try as much of this stuff as possible.

 

* **Form factor**

Regular Laptop

 

* **Intended usage**

Blender, Ollama, Unreal 5, various AI assisted IDEs  

* **Desired battery life**

This is not very important  

* **Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life**

Most important - performance, reliability

Least- size, battery.

Would prefer midsize to larger screen, but this isn’t a huge priority.

So basically, i will be starting my engineering this year. I will choose CSE for my education. I was discussing with a friend about buying a laptop right from the start and start coding, learning new stuff and much more. But, he said a laptop isnt necessary for 2-3 years out of 4 years. He told me to skip buying a laptop and just study and maybe take one in the upcoming years. So i would like to get to know if this is true or false, so please let me know your opinion.

And, if the answer is false to the above question, i was interested in buying a gaming laptop as they have good performance and will also help me in the future if i choose any heavy projects, 3D modelling and rendering (if any). The battery may be a concern but where i will be going, i will have plugs everywhere ig. But a library will be a problem. Also, please do tell anything about the laptop screen size if i have chosen it wrongly in the form below, ty. So, is a gaming laptop not advised for while you are studying engineering? Or is it ok? If yea, please do tell me your recommended budget for a beginner gaming laptop. I have also attached the form required below 👇

$1,800-$3,000 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used options?
Maybe, but preferably new

Screen size
15”-16”

Weight limit
Preferably under 5.5 lbs, but performance matters more

Purpose
Mechanical engineering school, CAD, MATLAB, programming, simulations, general productivity, note taking

Form factor
Standard/Clamshell

Intended usage
I’m going into mechanical engineering and expect to use programs like SolidWorks, MATLAB, Fusion 360, coding software, simulation software, and general multitasking with a lot of tabs/windows open. I also play games occasionally but school performance matters more than gaming.

The main thing I’m debating is:

32GB RAM with an RTX 5060/5070 dedicated GPU

vs

64GB RAM with integrated Intel graphics

Trying to figure out which would actually benefit me more long term for engineering workloads.

Desired battery life
At least 6-8 hours for lighter schoolwork if possible
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
I want something that will comfortably last all 4 years of engineering school. Good thermals and build quality matter to me. I’d prefer Windows. I’m also wondering if 32GB RAM is already overkill for most engineering students or if 64GB is worth it even with weaker integrated graphics.

Budget: 1100-1200 usd
Country: Buying in USA, but exporting to India
Use Case: Gaming, only play Valorant
Preferred Specs: CPU is a priority, something like 14900hx/255hx/275hx, and maybe a 5060 since I play Valorant, and want it to run above 400fps (320hz 1080p monitor)
Notes: I‘d prefer to have a decent international warranty, I heard ASUS is good in that respect. However I also heard all are shit anyway so I’d be better off buying an open-box unit for cheaper. But that’s risky and I don’t want to go down that route.
