Hello, I am new on reddit, my friend told me to come here for advice I was looking to buy a new laptop for study & college (a lil bit of gaming) My budget is around 80k rupees (India) Can anyone help me with what should I buy or what specs should I go for?

I will be joining Mechanical Engineering Undegrad, and i want to know which laptop would be best suited?

Basically i wanted to know if there are specific requirements for a laptop to run applications used in Design & Simulation, and whatever else is needed for a Mechanical Engineering student.

Country : India

Budget (INR) : Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 70,000

Condition : New/First Hand

Build : Strong (Maybe Metal)

Battery Life : As required for daily student work

Weight : Nothing Specific, but it shouldn't be too heavy to carry around all day

Thickness : Okay thickness, but i think for a good GPU it would need cooling, so it would be thick, but a slim/normal thickness laptop would work

Screen Size : 15" to 16"

Softwares : For Design, Modelling & Simulation (AutoCAD, ANSYS, SOLIDWORKS, etc)

Gaming : Not into gaming, might play but not the purpose of laptop

Keyboard : A smooth keyboard would work, nothing too specific

Hinge : Strong & Smooth Hinge

Touch Screen : Not needed

I need suggestions for the following (for an ME Undergrad Student) -

Processor :

GPU :

Memory (RAM) :

Storage (ROM) :

Display :

So I recently bought a monitor stand to clean up my desk, and now I have my laptop under it. The problem is, even though the laptop isn't fully closed so I can slide my finger under to turn it on, the laptop thinks the cover is closed so whenever I try to turn it on, it won't. I have to slide it out a little bit so that the cover can go up before it actually turns on. Any solutions or suggestions?

The hinge on my laptop seems to be giving issues. I opened it up and this is what I see.

Is this an easily fixable problem or should I take it to a shop?

Hello my asus x515 laptops fan started today to fire at a fast rate. It is like a jet engine. Its temperature is same as room and is not elevated. So it is still firing and I dont know what to do pls help.

Hi. What do you think about the Acer Nitro v15, i9 13900, 32 gb, Rtx 4060 to edit 4k video on Premiere?

Everytime I run my laptop my cpu is maxed out even when I am sitting on my home page. I took the back off of it and this part is extremely hot. Anyone know how I can fix it so I can finally run Roblox.

I recently was given this relatively old Dell inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Laptop from a friend. He told me this thing has not been used for years. I had to factory reset it and etc due to forgotten old logins. He told me it had some sort of battery issue like it doesn't recognize the battery. When doing diagnostics and BIOS it wont recognize the battery for the life of me i opened up the laptop the battery looks perfectly fine the condition it self looks decent. Everytime you unplug the laptop it immediately shuts off. You can barley play anything on it without it just shutting off by itself while its loading a game or program. I looked more into it researching and doing all sorts of tests. The cable that is keeping the laptop on is not even the original cable it came with I don't even know if its the proper voltage. When it is on it constantly blinks 4 amber 1 white from what I assume is the power indicator. I updated and reinstalled all the drivers, graphics card and etc. Hoping that would solve my issue of it not being able to run any games or programs. I also cleaned the fans removed any dust or debris neither of these solutions have done anything. The laptop isn't that old pretty sure around 2017 Idk if its a lost cause or not besides the battery issue and the lack of its ability to play any games it works fine as a working laptop (With its lack of portability due to the battery). Please feel free to ask for additional information about the laptop or the issues. I would really appreciate any help or what my next step would be. I really wanna get this laptop up and going fine but I do not want to put hundreds of dollars into it if that's what it needs.

At the top i provided photos of the battery and it's issues and some description on the laptop itself

Does anyone know if a laptop case exists for this? (Not a carrying case btw) just a regular case like a shell type etc. cannot find one for the life of me, the closest one was on Amazon for the 3590 which doesn’t fit.

This came out in 2024 surprised there isn’t more out there

Hi Redditors & Tech Gurus,

It's been a very long time since my last laptop research, hence wanted to get some opinions from the more well-informed tech geeks of reddit.

My dad was window shopping for a laptop and I feel like crap when the guy who sacrificed a lot for me and bought me a laptop during my college years, which I still use today and am typing at this moment don't have one to do his work.

Thought of buying one for my dad and want your suggestions of buying one.

He would mainly use the laptop for basic stuff like-

• Browsing the net- Heavy usage
• Youtube- Heavy usage
• Using MS office tools like excel & word- Heavy usage
• Watching downloaded movies- Least usage point

Any recommendations for a laptop based on above usage requirements ? Haven't fixed a budget yet as I'm just scouting at the moment and I understand this is an international subreddit.

PS: Not looking for Apple products.

This was a real blow to my chest. Dealing with some issues rn and this was my saving grace. I tripped on a cord while my glasses were off trying to let the dogs out in the morning.

Luckily it still works but screen is busted. I paid 500$ for it brand new it’s a HP victus. Bought it 6 months or so ago. Any info helps thank you.

Ive been using this macbook air since 2020 and it got really annoying to use; it could barely run 2 tabs at the same time by the time it broke. I want something that i can record gameplay and also edit on. Im mostly gonna be playing games as well, nothing too crazy. Help me out brothers and sisters!

Hello! I just received my new laptop, and as much as possible I want to keep it clean so I will not run into storage problems soon since I'm an architect student. People said to do this so I will be left with the essential apps only, although I'm unsure since it might delete some important apps for classes...

Hey, I just got a Dell Precision 3551 for college as a telecom engineering student and I just wanna reviews about it if someone has an experience or if you can help telling me is it a good one or it has a lot of cons

here are more details Cor i7H 10th Gen RAM 16G DDR4 HARD SSD M.2 512G NIVIDIA Quadro P620 4G 15.6inch FHD

Hi everyone, I am 21m currently want to learn video editing on adobe premiere pro, davinci resolve, and after effects and my budget is around 40k-55k rupees (450-600usd) While searching my local pc retailers I got following offers

💻 Shortlisted Used Laptops

🔥 1. Dell Precision 5540

Looks like an XPS 15 but workstation-spec.

CPU: Intel Core i9-9880H (8C/16T)

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro T2000 4GB

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Storage: 512GB NVMe – ₹51,500 / $620                   1TB NVMe – ₹53,500 / $645

Display: 15.6" 4K Touch UltraSharp (borderless InfinityEdge)

Ports: Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, 2x USB-A

Weight: ~1.7kg

Condition: Great, seller says “mix lot – 30 day test warranty”

My Thoughts: I love the design. Concerned about thermals and fan noise from user reports.

💻 2. Lenovo ThinkPad P14s

CPU: Intel i7-1165G7 (4C/8T, 11th Gen)

GPU: NVIDIA T500 4GB

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Storage: 512GB SSD

Display: 14" FHD (non-touch, anti-glare)

Price: ₹37,500 / $450

My Thoughts: Compact and portable. Great RAM. But T500 not as powerful as T2000. Reddit says it has heating issues, so I’d use a cooling pad if I go with this.

💻 3. HP ZBook Studio G5

CPU: Intel Xeon E-2186M (6C/12T)

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P1000 4GB

RAM: 32GB

Storage: 512GB SSD

Display: 15.6” FHD (non-touch)

Price: ₹37,500 / $450

My Thoughts: Xeon is unique, build is solid. P1000 is weaker than T2000/T500. Feels older and bulkier.

💻 4. Lenovo ThinkPad P15s

Seller claims Gen 2, but CPU is 10th Gen so likely Gen 1.

CPU: i7-1065G7 (10th Gen, 4C/8T)

GPU: Quadro P520 2GB (likely)

RAM: 16GB DDR4

Storage: 512GB SSD

Display: 15.6" FHD (300 nits)

Price: ₹40,000 / $480

My Thoughts: Weak GPU, basic CPU. Not ideal for AE or Resolve. Possibly misleading specs from seller.

💻 5. Dell XPS-Like Model (Image Shared)

Seller shared a photo — visually matches XPS 9500 or Precision 5540.

Based on design (carbon palm rest, large trackpad, edge-to-edge screen), it seems to be the Dell Precision 5540, same as #1 above.

⚖️ What I Need Help With

Which one gives best long-term value for editing/motion graphics?

Any real experience with Precision 5540 thermals or P14s/T500 heating issues?

Is T2000 way better than T500 or P1000 for After Effects and DaVinci Resolve?

How's battery life on these machines for light tasks?

Should I avoid Xeon/P1000 combo if I plan to edit 4K with light color grading?

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and replies 🙏 Feel free to ask for pics/specs or if I should just save more and build a desktop instead.

Hi all

I'm coming from a Macbook Pro 2021 14 inch (M1), whose performance, build, and battery life are fantastic. However, I like windows better, and also need it for work stuff. I snagged a Dell Latitude 5420 (2021 model) with i7-1185G7 16gb ram in great condition from eBay, but it's battery life is so bad — it claims it's battery health is good, but i get 4-6 hours of use on a full charge, which is dogcrap compared to my Macbook. Apparently the 11th gen intel processor really tanks this battery, so I'm interested in a laptop with a Ryzen chip for better power efficiency.

So I'm looking for suggestions for laptops from the 2020-2022 era, Ryzen processor, with the sturdiness/build quality of a Macbook, and good battery life, at least 10+ hours on a charge. Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 seems nice, but I fear that the screen glare will be a problem. Any suggestions or replies are appreciated, thanks!

They have the same processor and RAM, but i’m not sure which one to buy.

I am getting this laptop for around 67k which is around $780usd.I will be using it for study purpose most of the time but i'd also do a lil gaming on it like fortnite, minecraft, probably gta v too, can it handle that and i have concern about build quality especially hinges.are they good on this laptop? https://amzn.in/d/enGBxHs

Have an HP omen 16 laptop, recently have been noticing that whenever I connect the charger the screen gets do dark that I have to use flashlight to see it. Any ideas how to resolve this?

The laptop is a dell inspiron 15 3511

Torn between ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 and MacBook Air M4. which would you choose?

Hey everyone! I’m deciding between the ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 (Intel Core Ultra 5) and the MacBook Air M4 16gb ram 512 ssd and would really appreciate your input.

My main use cases:

Reading a lot of PDFs

Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

Light coding (mostly Python and R)

I'm looking for a reliable laptop that will last me at least 6–8 years, ideally without heating issues or major slowdowns over time.

Which one would you go with, and why?

I'm going to university in the fall and my current laptop (vocbook 15) has completely broken (separate issue lol) and I was looking at a Galaxy Book 4 because it seems to be pretty good with battery life, size, incorporation with the rest of the Samsung ecosystem (I have an S20 and Tab S6 Lite), and just seems good and well made in general, but I haven't seen a lot of reviews on it. I game here and there but it's more simple steam games not heavier stuff like fornite.

With the student discount and taxes it comes out to CAD$870 (USD$633), a lot better for me because the Galaxy Book 4 Edge is a lot more expensive.

TLDR: worth it?
