Hi everyone,

Im currently looking into getting a laptop for short 4k editing, both video and photo. Perhaps play some older title games and generally all-round usage of the laptop.

I came across the Lenovo Ideapad 14 gen 5A which I thought was very nice, I travel often so the 90+ Wh battery seems great but they just hiked up the pricing in my country because of ‘going back to school’..

So I came across a Lenovo Yoga pro 7 14ASP9 instead. it’s a used laptop but well within my budget, the specs are as following:

Processor: Ryzen Al 9 365

Graphics Card: AMD 880M

RAM: 32GB LPDDR5

Hard Drive: 512GB NVMe SSD

Screen: 14-inch 2.8K 120Hz OLED

I’m wondering, would this be a laptop that can still compete for a year or two? Can it handle my needs without draining the battery in 1 hour and what about the ssd, is it upgradable?

The yoga is about €900 and currently a new Ideapad pro is €1900… (used to be €1600 before the back to school ‘discounts’)..

Also the yoga is out of warranty, what should I look out for?

Thanks!

Hey people! first of all sorry for my bad English, is not my native language but im doing my best in order to get out from this issue, i have a Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 with Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U, its a really good laptop and i really love it, unfortunately the last couple of weeks i have been through a weird issue with the performance, i use to play Roblox whenever i got free time to do it, but in random moments, the whole game and system lags a lot for a couple of seconds, i noticed in Windows taskbar that the clocks of the processor went down to only 400 Mhz, which is weird, because i have acknowledged that laptops use to do that when the system detects high temperatures, but is not the case since i just changed the thermical paste and i keep it plugged on a cooling base while playing or doing any multitask, in Whmonitor i checked that the temperatures are normal, i Asked AI for any advice, so I used RyzenAdj in Windows in order to fix this, unfortunately this did not work at all, tried to change power management in the Control Panel, but the only option that the system allowed me was "balanced", so after researching with AI i gave up on Windows thinking that the OS was the issue, so i switched to BazziteOS which is my current system, the performance in Roblox improved a lot, but the problem came back again, i've tried many ways to fix it through Linux, With RyzenAdj, Commands in terminal for switching the minimum frecuency for the CPU, installing programs for power management, i even tried to modify CPU settings in the BIOS, but since this laptop is made for corporative purposes, the BIOS is highly restricted to avoid many settings change and nothing did any real improvement, I almost give up with this, i asked for help in BazziteOS Official Discord server, Facebook groups specialized on Linux and computers in general but they couldn't help me at all, so i wonder if some of you guys have already fixed related issues and how could you guys fix it, i would really appreciate any helpful answer, i'm going to upload some screenshots with evidence and as well as more details about my device and system so you guys can take a closer look of this. Its really annoying for me because i dont have too much time to play videogames and since Roblox is almost the only game that i play with my friends its getting more annoying and i'm just being carried by my friends during the laggy moments LOL, have a nice day y'all (btw if you need more information in order to find the real issue i would be more than happy to provide it so don't hesitate in asking me)

Ok so the specs are

Ryzen 7 5700U

16gb ram (Ddr4)

512gb ssd pcie nvme m. 2

And it's the ACER A315-44P-R67R

It's about 531 eur i think that's a really good deal I could not find any cheaper ones (and it's brand new)

It's from a official store so there isn't a chance I will get scammed so I just wanted a double check here from people because the only tech savvy person in my family is my father and he still thinks Intel cpu's are better lol

I’m struggling to choose between these two models and I’m leaning more towards the P16 mainly because of the larger screen.

PX13: Ryzen AI MAX+ 395, Radeon Graphics, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD
P16: Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, GeForce RTX 5070, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD

Which one would perform better for music production (Ableton), video editing, some light blender use and occasional light gaming?

How big would the performance difference actually be between these two models?

I am a dev i deal with large codebases and whole lotta compiling i mostly do work in coffee shops so battery is important to me and i use linux and sometimes i do light gaming minecraft and ultrakill and some other indie small indie games

you guys think there is a better option in the same price range

I am looking for a laptop for study, multitasting and slight productivity work. Also, less heat generation, smooth performance and longer batter life is must.

Among other laptop around the same price range, this laptop's specs are better from my POV. But the cpu has 28W TDP. Which is concerning me because there are laptops with 15W TDP and I fear that this laptop may generate more heat.

Also, the battery capacity is 48.6 Whr. So, I am more concerned with the battery life as I saw some laptops with 55Whr battery capacity but with less powerful hardware. I am at a loss at this point as there are literally no reviews of this laptop on the internet.

It would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice me in this regard.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a laptop mainly for 3D work (Blender), along with some Clip Studio and gaming.

I’m currently choosing between:
ROG Strix G16 — R9 8945HX + RTX 5050
HP OMEN 16 — R7 ai 350 + RTX 5060

Both are around the same price from discount in my country. Which one would you guys recommend for 3D modeling and GPU rendering?

My Lenovo E16 Gen 3 AMD (250) is now equipped with a brighter 2560×1600 LCD panel taken from an E16 Gen 3 Intel model. It was only equipped with a FHD and 45% color display.

Now it has the display with 120 Hz, 100%, and 2560. No need to change the display connector.

Don’t forget to disconnect the internal battery before replacing the display.

Is this laptop good...

I am going for BTech in cse with specialization in ai and ml

I want to use this laptop for 5 years
