LOOKING FOR LAPTOP FOR SCHOOL

molten talon
#

I mean I have a old Acer nitro I resoldered a capacitor to it’s used but I’m pretty sure has a i7 and a 3050

#

Haven’t fixed it yet just didn’t feel like it tbh

why

stone mason
#

dogshit

#

hinges are horrible

kindred sedge
#

how

#

good cpu and gpu for the price

stone mason
#

cpu and gpu arent everything

#

its a laptop

#

build quality matters

toxic turret
#

laptop for school shouldnt have a dgpu tbh. waste of money

stone mason

#

which one is the 8645HS? i just learned awhile ago from an ltt video just how terrible AMD's notebook names are

stone mason
#

ryzen 5

#

6 cores

stone mason

#

680M is a competent igpu as well if you wanna play light games or emulate

#

i have it in my laptop, pretty damn good

toxic turret
#

true

its ebay

stone mason
#

on ebay

#

you get a two year warranty and ebay has good buyer protections

#

id just get the t14s and call it a day

kindred sedge
#

they don't trust getting something from ebay

toxic turret
#

ebay has the best buyer protection of any used site that i know of

toxic turret
#

the seller has 98.7% positive feedback and has sold 130,000 items

#

the HP victus would do fine, but id rather have the extra cpu cores and ditch the dgpu. just my opinion though

toxic turret
#

"intel core 7 series 1" 💀

stone mason
#
#

absolutely insane deal ^

kindred sedge
#

3 hours away

kindred sedge
#

would this be better though

stone mason
#

if you dont have a microcenter yeah

kindred sedge
#

was about to buy it but it sold out

toxic turret
#

rip

stone mason
#

the thinkpad?

#

thats a rip

kindred sedge
#

yeah

#

want one just like that

stone mason
# kindred sedge want one just like that
#

elitebook seems nice

#

really nice actually

kindred sedge
#

13.3 inches though is hella small

#

16 looks better

#

1tb storage too

#

might get that one

#

2.7ghz though

the pavilion but its over budget

#

swift edge is nice tho

kindred sedge
#

good size and it's 5.1ghz

stone mason
#

5.1ghz doesnt matter

kindred sedge
#

gpu doesn't seem that good

stone mason
#

like

#

actually bad

kindred sedge
#

explain how then

#

3 different websites saying the gpu is pretty bad

stone mason
#

intel bias, no real testing methodology

heres an excerpt from the 7800x3d review:

"Also watch out for AMD’s army of Neanderthal social media accounts on reddit, forums and youtube, they will be singing their own praises as usual. AMD continue to develop “Advanced Marketing” relationships with select youtubers with the obvious aim of compensating for second tier products with first tier marketing. PC gamers considering a 7000X3D CPU need to work on their critical thinking skills: Influencers are paid handsomely to promote overpriced niche products (X3D, EPYC, Threadripper etc.). "

#

the 780M as an igpu is the best out right now for windows

#

as a gpu rivaling like a 4090, obviously its going to be bad

kindred sedge
#

I was looking at individual users testings, they are all pretty bad

stone mason
#

the igpu in the 155H kinda matches it but has arc woes

kindred sedge
stone mason
#

the 7840U has the 780M

#

NOT the 740M

#

if you were expecting 4090 level performance out of an IGPU then im sorry but thats not happening for a while

kindred sedge
stone mason
#

calculation based on what

#

wheres the tests

#

you cant simply say "100% cpu util in game and no gpu util in game means bottleneck"

#

at lower resolutions you are going to be more cpu bound

#

they're basically always wrong

#

id say swift edge then

#

The person who this was for got it and they can't even use it in the library it's so loud

#

sounds like an airplane

#

secondly, the 740m sucks

#

thirdly, igpu wise from amd you'd want is a 660m that's on a 7535hs/u, 680m that's on the 7735hs/u, 760m that's on the 7640hs/u and 7640hs/u and 8645hs or the 780m that's on the 7840hs/u & 8840hs/u and 8845hs

year late buddy
