Hallo

late ivy
#

I did find other laptop, ASUS Vivobook 16 (r7-7300u/i5-12500h)

#

However no gpu makes me worried

frozen sequoia
#

Do not buy one with no GPU

late ivy
#

Let me state my budget

frozen sequoia
#

You're a Sci Computer Student that needs a portable workhorse

#

Machine learning my ass, Jesus Christ they're making you guys buy these laptops?

late ivy
#

It is essential after all

#

Budget: $594.3298

frozen sequoia
#

That's wild, only one DIMM slot?

#

Wait

late ivy
#

Upon thinking and thinking, rtx2050 might make it but, on sales rtx3050 has the same price but just 8gb ram

frozen sequoia
#

Have you looked at Dell

late ivy
#

I can upgrade the ram, but it needs to wait next month

#

Looking into it

#

I can't believe companies actually ship with single channel only, holy shit

#

This is news to me

late ivy
#

And the best thing about this loq is, it has a very good cooling, somehow powerful gpu, and 100%srgb screen

late ivy
#

Even thin and light don't do that kind of move anymore

#

Worst is dual but soldered

frozen sequoia
#

A little better but that's weird?

#

DELL G15 does have 2 slots?

#

But the specsheets are ass

#

Take a look at it

late ivy
frozen sequoia
#

No I meant the specsheet listing design are very bad

#

This is intentionally confusing, and withholds a lot of information

late ivy
frozen sequoia
#

Hooooooly hell

late ivy
frozen sequoia
#

This has two slots

#

HP Victus 15, don't know price though

#

I'm looking at specs the same as what you were looking at in the Lenovo

late ivy
frozen sequoia
#

I will puke

late ivy
#

Lenovo loq, everything else is good

#

But they did it dirty with the ram

frozen sequoia
#

I'm just concerned for you since I've ran single channel

frozen sequoia
#

DDR4 3200MHZ

#

I also ran DDR5 5000MHZ single channel on an ASUS EXPERTBOOK B1400

#

Slow

#

But when running Adobe, slows down to halt

#

There isn't any laptops the same price as what you're looking at

#

They're either cheaping out on VRAM, or overpriced in general

#

What the fuck is the Laptop Market Concerned

frozen sequoia
#

Good thing I'm only opting for cheapo 100 dollar Thinkpads

#

Yeah I can't help lad, you have a good day

late ivy
#

I would've bought a pc if not for the fact my uni and my home is 400km away
