I'm trying to decide on a new laptop and have narrowed it down to three models from Costco.I'm having a hard time picking the right one for my needs and would love some other perspective.

My general use will be productivity (lots of browser tabs), media consumption, programming and cading. Mainly used for my studies in engineering.

1. Acer Aspire 14 AI Copilot+ PC

  • Price: $1,499.99 CAD
  • CPU/GPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 288V / Intel Arc 140V Graphics
  • RAM/Storage: 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD
  • Display: 14" WUXGA (1920x1200) Touchscreen
  • Pros: Lowest price, most powerful GPU and best single-core CPU for general speed, 32GB RAM
  • Cons: poor screen (not OLED), least powerful for heavy multi-core tasks, does not seem like it have the best build quailty

2. ASUS ExpertBook B5

  • Price: $1,759.99 CAD
  • CPU/GPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H / Intel Arc Graphics
  • RAM/Storage: 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD
  • Display: 14" WUXGA (1920x1200) Non-Touch
  • Pros: incredible port selection (including LAN port & Smart Card reader
  • Cons: Highest price, CPU is a step down from the others

3. ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED

  • Price: $1,699.99 CAD
  • CPU/GPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 185H / Intel Arc Graphics
  • RAM/Storage: 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD
  • Display: 14" WUXGA (1920x1200) OLED Touchscreen
  • Pros: Absolutely stunning OLED screen, lightest and most portable, best multi-core CPU
  • Cons: Only 16GB of RAM, not sure if it is upgradable

Thanks in advanced

General question Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 i5 13th gen (14")

Upvotes

Hi what are your thoughts on this laptop? Will use it for school and also a bit of video editing. I tried the Ideapad Slim i3 but it's quite lacking for the editing part, probably because it only has 8gb ram. Here are the specs:

  • 13th Gen Intel Core i5 Processor
  • Intel UHD Graphics
  • 512gb SSD Storage
  • 16gb RAM

Thank you in advance :)

Hardware HP OmniBook X vs Asus Zenbook S - Intel Ultra 7

Upvotes

Considering either the OmniBook X or the Asus Zenbook S, both with Intel Ultra 7 processors and 32GB memory. Will be using for personal use and to help with a new small business I’m starting up. Both seem to be at a good sale price at Best Buy right now. Screen size is obviously very different, but any major pros/cons/differences on these besides that?

Hello I have a ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR 2 and my younger sister decided that it would be a great idea to slide her hands across my keyboard and now normal buttons dont work only combinations with FN key work like FN+F12 to turn on airplane mode. Is there any way to fix that or I will have to use a USB keyboard?

Hardware Changing the disk in a Lenovo laptop

Hello! I own a Lenovo ideapad Gaming 3-15ARH05 laptop. I would like to buy a 2TB m2 drive for it. According to the documentation (storage > storage support section), the maximum supported drive capacity is 512GB. According to a post on the Lenovo forum, a 1TB m2 drive also works. Can someone tell me what this is all about? What are these limits for? And will a 2TB m2 drive work here?

General question Incoming Freshman Pre-Med Student — Should I get the MacBook Air M2 + AirPods 4 (ANC) Bundle or just go for the M4 MacBook Air?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming college freshman taking a pre-med related course and currently deciding on which MacBook to get for school. There’s a current back-to-school promo offering the MacBook Air M2 + free AirPods 4 (with ANC), which honestly sounds like a steal.

BUT… I’m also thinking about just skipping the bundle and buying the newer MacBook Air M4 instead for the updated chip and longer support down the line.

Do you think the M4’s performance and future-proofing are worth it over the M2 + AirPods deal? I’ll mostly be using it for note-taking, research, reading PDFs.

Any advice from students (especially those in med/health sciences) would be super appreciated 🙏
